Proclamation

Recognizing June 2025 as LGBTQIA+
Pride Month
Whereas, in the month of June, we celebrate Pride Month and join together with our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) community members to celebrate their strength, courage, and perseverance. The City of Hermosa Beach is committed to supporting visibility, dignity and equity for all people in the community, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; and
Whereas, many of the residents, students, city employees, and business owners within the City of Hermosa Beach who contribute to the enrichment of our City identify with the LGBTQIA+ community; and
Whereas, various advancements have been made with respect to equitable treatment of the LGBTQIA+ community, but there continues to be opposition all around the world making it important for cities like Hermosa Beach to stand up and show support for our residents who are affected; and Whereas, LGBTQIA+ Pride Month is celebrated each year during the month of June to acknowledge its historical significance and commemorate the events of June 1969 when an uprising was staged in New York City at the Stonewall Inn against the harassment of LGBTQIA+ persons; and
Whereas, the rainbow flag, also known as the LGBTQIA+ pride flag or gay pride flag, has been used since the 1970s as a symbol of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual pride and social movements; and
Whereas, lighting up Pier Plaza in rainbow colors and flying the rainbow flag at City Hall throughout the month of June further symbolizes the City’s celebration of diversity and support for the LGBTQIA+ community;
Now, therefore, I, Rob Saemann, Mayor of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, do hereby recognize the month of June 2025 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and invite everyone to recognize the achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community, to celebrate our great diversity, and to reflect on ways we all can live and work together with a commitment to mutual respect and understanding.

HERMOSA BEACH INVESTMENT POLICY
Policy
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of funds of the City of Hermosa Beach (referred to throughout as 'the City') and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City consistent with the prudent protection of the City's investments. This investment policy has been prepared in conformance with all pertinent existing laws of the State of California including California Government Code
Sections 53600, et seq.

Scope
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities of the City except for the proceeds of certain capital project finance programs, which would be invested in accordance with provisions of their specific bond indentures. These funds would be defined and accounted for in the City's audited annual Basic Financial Statements Report and includes any new funds created unless specifically excluded by the City's Staff and Council.

Prudent Investor Standard
The City operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard (California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, that ''when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City".

This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.

Investment officers, acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising the above standard of diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

Page 79 of 305 ends

Page 2 of 17 ends

Investment Objectives
When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing the City's funds,
(a) The primary objective is to safeguard the principal of the funds. (b) The secondary objective is to meet the liquidity needs of the City. (c) The third objective is to achieve a maximum return on invested funds without compromising (a) or (b).

Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Each investment transaction shall seek to first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they arise from securities defaults, institution default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value of securities. The City shall mitigate the risk to the principal of invested funds by limiting credit and interest rate risks. Credit Risk is the risk that the issuer will default (i.e. fail to pay) on an obligation. Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the market value of the City's portfolio will fall due to an increase in general interest rates.

Credit Risk
Credit Risk will be mitigated by:
(a) Limiting investments to only the most credit worthy types of securities. (b) By pre-qualifying the financial institutions with which the City will do business.
(c) By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential failure of any one issue or issuer will not place an undue financial burden on the City.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk will be mitigated by structuring the City's portfolio so that securities mature to meet the City's cash requirements for ongoing obligations, thereby reducing the possible need to sell securities on the open market at a loss prior to their maturity to meet those requirements.

Liquidity
Availability of sufficient cash to pay for current expenditures shall be maintained in local government investment pools that offer daily liquidity, or short-term securities that can easily be converted into cash because they have secondary markets.

Page 80 of 305 ends

Page 3 of 17 ends

Rates of Return
Yield on investments shall be considered only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market average rate of return throughout economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the composition and cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and applicable laws.

Delegation of Authority and Safeguards
Authority to manage City's investment program is derived from the California Government Code Sections 41001 - 41007 and 53600 - 53900. The City Manager, Finance Administrative Services Director, and the City Council hereby delegate management responsibility for implementing the investment program to the City Treasurer, according to the procedures set forth, and consistent with this investment policy. Such procedures shall authorize the City Treasurer to execute investment transactions subject to the written approval of either the City Manager or Finance Administrative Services Director. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established and approved by either the Finance Administrative Services Director or City Manager.

Procedures as stated in City Resolution No. 12-6822
(a) The City's funds are currently managed in a safe and prudent manner, with numerous safeguards in place to assure that City funds cannot be misdirected or misappropriated.
(b) Existing safeguards include dual controls on all wired transfers and all City checks.
(c) Contractual relationships with any brokerage entities to be engaged by the City to invest City funds shall be subject to the prior review and approval of the City Council.
(d) All investment transactions must be authorized by the City Manager or Finance Administrative Services Director prior to their execution. (e) The sole authorized signators on City banking and brokerage accounts shall be the City Manager, the Finance Administrative Services Director and Accounting Supervisor Finance Manager.
(f) ln the event of the mental or physical incapacity of the City Treasurer, the functions of the City Treasurer shall be performed by the Finance Administrative Services Director under the direct supervision of the City Manager.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

Page 81 of 305 ends

Page 4 of 17 ends

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officers shall disclose any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business with this City, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial I investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio. Employees and officers shall subordinate their personal investment preferences to those of the City, particularly with regard to the timing of transactions, and shall avoid transactions that might impair public confidence.

Authorized FinancialDealers and Institutions
The City Treasurer with the assistance of the Deputy Treasurer will establish and maintain a list of the financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to provide investment and depository services to the City, will perform a review of the financial condition and registrations of the qualified institutions, and require audited financial statements to be on file for each approved institution, at least every two years. At that time, the City shall send a copy of their current Investment Policy and Questionnaire to all financial institutions and broker/dealers approved to do business with the City. Receipt of the Investment Policy including confirmation that it has been received and reviewed by the person(s) handling the City's account, shall be acknowledged in writing within thirty (30) days.

Depositories
In selecting depositories, the credit worthiness of institutions shall be considered and the City Treasurer and the Finance Administrative Services Director shall jointly conduct a comprehensive review of prospective depositories' credit characteristics and financial history.

Any institution meeting the City's required criteria will be eligible for placement of public deposits by the City, subject to approval by the City Council. .Any institution falling below the City's established minimum criteria shall be removed from the approved list, no new deposits may be placed with that institution and all funds remaining shall be withdrawn as the deposits mature.

Brokers and Dealers
All brokers and dealers that desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions with the City must respond to our “Broker Dealer Questionnaire” and submit related documents relative to eligibility. This includes a current audited financial statement, proof of state registration, proof of FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) registration and a certification they have received and reviewed the City's Investment Policy and agree to comply with the provisions outlined in the Investment Policy. The City Treasurer may establish any additional criteria deemed appropriate to evaluate and approve any financial services provider. The selection process for broker- dealers shall be open to both "primary dealers" and "secondary/regional dealers" that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1 (Uniform Net Capital Rule), and the provider's

representative must be experienced in institutional trading practices and familiar with the California Government Code as it relates to investments by a public entity.

Page 6 of 17 ends

Authorized and Suitable Investments
The City is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. The City may choose to restrict its permitted investments to a smaller list of securities that more closely fits the City's cash flow needs and requirements for liquidity. If a type of investment is added to California State Code 53600, it will not be added to the City's Authorized Investment List until this policy is amended and approved by the City Council. If a type of investment permitted by the City should be removed from California Government Code 53600, it will be deemed concurrently removed from the City's Authorized Investment List, but existing holdings may be held until they mature if it is in the best interest of the City and recommended by the Treasurer and approved by the City Manager or Finance Director.

Credit criteria listed in this Policy refers to the credit rating of the issuing organization at the time the security• is purchased. The City may from time to time be invested in a security whose rating is downgraded. In the event a rating drops below the minimum allowed by this Policy, the Treasurer will recommend an appropriate plan of action to the City Manager and Finance Administrative Services Director no less frequently than quarterly.

Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized:

One of the purposes of this Investment Policy is to define what investments are permitted. If a type of security is not specifically authorized by this policy, it is not a permitted investment.
** Appendix A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, sets forth a more detailed description of the authorized investments listed above, along with additional restrictions.

Page 85 of 305 ends

Page 8 of 17 ends

Corporation with which the City has entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement.

All collateral used to secure this type of transaction is to be delivered to a third party prior to release of funds. The third party will have an account in the name of the City of Hermosa Beach. The market value of securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements shall be monitored on a daily basis and will not be permitted to fall below a minimum of 102 percent of the value of the repurchase agreement. Collateral shall not have maturities in excess of five years. The right of substitution will be granted, provided that permissible collateral is maintained.

In order to conform with provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code which provides for the liquidation of securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements, the only securities acceptable as collateral shall be securities that are direct obligations of and guaranteed by the U.S. Government and Agency securities as permitted under this policy. The City will maintain a first perfected security interest in the securities subject to the repurchase agreement and shall have a contractual right to liquidation of purchased securities upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or other default of the counter party.

Investment Pools
A thorough investigation of any investment pool, money market or mutual fund is required prior to investing and on a continual basis. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the suitability of a pool or fund and evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund. The investigation will, at a minimum, obtain the following information:
(a) A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are distributed.
(b) A description of how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an audit is conducted.
(c) A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits and withdrawals are permitted.
(d) A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. (e) Does the pool/fund maintain a reserve or retain earnings or is all income after expenses distributed to participants?
(f) A fee schedule that discloses when and how fees are assessed. (g) Determining if the pool or fund is eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds.

Collateralization of Uninsured Time Deposits
Uninsured Time Deposits (that exceed FDIC's limits per Institution) with banks and savings and loans shall be collateralized and monitored in the manner prescribed by state law for depositories accepting investment funds from public governmental entities.

Safekeeping and Custody of all Securities

Page 86 of 305 ends

Page 9 of 17 ends

All securities owned by the City shall be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All securities will be received and delivered using standard delivery versus payment (DVP) procedures. The third party bank trustee agreement must comply with Section 53608 of the California Government Code. No outside broker/dealer or advisor may have access to City funds, accounts or investments and any transfer of funds must be approved by the City Manager or Finance Director.

Diversification and Risk
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. To minimize the City's exposure to these types of risk, the portfolio should be diversified among several types of institutions, instruments and maturities. The City Treasurer shall minimize default risk by prudently selecting only instruments and institutions, which at the time of placement have been evaluated for their financial viability and compliance with this policy. No individual investment transaction shall be undertaken that jeopardizes the total capital position of the overall portfolio. Risk shall also be managed by subscribing to a portfolio management philosophy that helps to control market and interest rate risk by matching investments with cash flow requirements. In the event of a default by a specific issuer, the Treasurer shall evaluate the liquidation of securities having comparable credit risks. Diversification strategies shall be established and reviewed by the City Manager and Finance Director.

Maximum Maturities
Every effort will be made to match investment maturities to cash flow needs. Matching maturities with cash flow dates will reduce the need to sell securities prior to maturity, thus reducing market risk. Unless matched to a specific requirement, no more than 50% of the investment portfolio may be invested with maturities greater than 3 years.

Unless matched to a specific requirement and approved by the City Council, · no investment may be made with a maturity greater than 5 years.

THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH FOR THE EXCHANGE OF PROPOSITION A

LOCAL RETURN FUNDS

(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve an Assignment Agreement for a Proposition A (Prop A) Local Return Fund Exchange (Attachment 1) with the City of West Hollywood receiving $800,000 of City of Hermosa Beach Prop A Funds in exchange for $560,000 of unrestricted funds from the City of West Hollywood; and

4. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute documents incidental to the Agreement.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach has excess Prop A Local Return Funds. The City of West Hollywood needs additional Prop A Funds for its transit operations. Staff recommends City Council approve a fund exchange with the City of West Hollywood at an exchange rate of $0.70 on the dollar, which is the same rate as prior fund exchanges.

Hermosa Beach would receive $560,000 in unrestricted funds in exchange for $800,000 in Prop A Local Return Funds restricted for transit operations. The funds received by Hermosa Beach may be used for any City purpose while the exchanged Prop A Funds remain restricted only for Prop A approved transit operations for the City of West Hollywood.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
Background:

Prop A Programs administered by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), is a half-cent sales tax measure approved by Los Angeles County voters in 1980 dedicated to transportation funding such as improved bus service, rail system plans and fare subsidies. Twenty-five percent of the Prop A funds is designated to the Local Return Program to be used by cities and the County to benefit public transit.

The City receives approximately $475,000 annually.

The City currently uses Prop A Local Return Funds for both Community Development and Community Resources departmental programs. Those department programs include the Commuter Express program, Valley Park and community recreation excursion transportation, and local special event shuttles. Previously, the City has used Local Return Funds to purchase bus stop furnishings, shelters, and trash cans on streets with bus routes.

Prop A Local Return Funds may also be traded to other jurisdictions in exchange for General or other funds aside from public transit. Metro requires that Cities timely expend Prop A funds within three years of the last day of the fiscal year in which funds were originally allocated. If unused funds accumulate over a couple of years, these restricted funds may be exchanged with another agency in return for unrestricted funds.

The City has exchanged Prop A Local Return Funds with the City of West Hollywood thrice, occurring in FY 2019-20, FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. All previous exchanges were also for $0.70 on the dollar.

Previously a portion of the unrestricted funds received by the City were used to fund an additional Assistant Engineer. The remaining unrestricted funds were “assigned” in the General Fund Balance for future funding of the Engineer. However, the exchanged unrestricted funds can be used for any general fund municipal use at the City’s discretion.

Discussion:

Excess Prop A Local Return Funds are available from a combination of remaining prior year fund balances and also from releasing the current FY 2024-25 budgeted CIP (Capital Improvement Project) 102 Bus Stop Improvement Project. Currently, the CIP 102 Bus Stop Improvement Project is budgeted for $500,000 using Prop A Local Return funding.

Staff expects to complete bus stop related improvement project work by the end of this fiscal year for $300,000 using available Proposition C Local Return Funds that are expiring.

Staff recommends exchanging the City’s excess Prop A Local Return Funds for unrestricted funds that may be used for any general fund municipal purpose. The City of West Hollywood has a need for additional Prop A Funds and is agreeable to an exchange.

West Hollywood and Hermosa Beach have tentatively agreed to an exchange rate of $0.70 on the dollar. Metro confirmed and concurred that this was the prevailing rate for this type of fund exchange.

If approved, the City would receive $560,000 in unrestricted use funds in exchange for $800,000 in Prop A fund dollars. If approved, the exchange would be completed as soon as the agreement is signed. West Hollywood will approve the agreement at its June 23, 2025 meeting.

General Plan Consistency:

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

The exchange of Prop A funds supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies that are listed below.

Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.

Policies:
 1.2: Strategic planning. Regularly discuss and set priorities at the City Council and management level to prioritize work programs and staffing needs.  1.6 Long-term considerations. Prioritize decisions that provide long-term community benefit and discourage decisions that provide short-term community benefit but reduce long-term opportunities.

Page 98 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
Fiscal Impact:

In exchange for $800,000 in Proposition A Local Return Funds which are only for transit purposes, the City would receive $560,000 in unrestricted funds for any general fund municipal use at the City’s discretion.

Excess Prop A funds are available for the fund exchange due to a combination of accumulated Prop A Fund Balances from prior fiscal years and releasing the $500,000 CIP 102 Bus Stop Improvement project budget in the Prop A fund. Staff expects to complete bus stop related project work this fiscal year for approximately $300,000 using available Prop C Local Return Funds that are expiring instead.

Staff has determined excess Prop A funds are available after accounting and fully budgeting ongoing City departmental Prop A programs in the FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget.

Staff recommends City Council add the exchange fund revenue of $560,000 to the assigned fund balance in the General Fund in FY 2024-25. Use of the assigned funds would be recommended in FY 2025-26 for future City municipal expenditures and use.

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the April 2025 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 April 2025.

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 July 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the services for April 2025.

Discussion:

The April 2025 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—April 2025 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 is also 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 April 2025 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to

Page 104 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
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.

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 April 2025, McCormick Ambulance responded to 74 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The April 2025 report indicated that two 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 two delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was nine (9) minutes, twentythree (23) seconds with the longest single response time at nine (9) minutes, thirty-seven (37) seconds.

There were no delayed Code 2 responses in April 2025. 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 April 2025 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
 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 72 calls in April 2025, 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

Page 105 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVAL OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE

ROTARY CLUB OF HERMOSA BEACH, PROVIDING ONE-YEAR EXTENSION OF

AGREEMENT FOR THE FRIDAY FARMERS MARKET
CEQA: Approval of the first amendment to the Agreement between the City and the Rotary Club for the Friday Farmer’s Market would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15304. This would have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment. (Community Resources Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the proposed first amendment to an agreement with the Rotary Club of Hermosa Beach for use of the corner of 11th Street and Valley Drive for the Friday Farmers Market to extend the agreement an additional year (Attachment 1); and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest the proposed first amendment, subject to approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The current agreement with the Rotary Club for use of the corner of 11th Street and Valley Drive for the Friday Farmers Market expires June 27, 2025. To allow additional time for staff and the Rotary Club to work together to develop mutually agreeable terms for a new three-year agreement, staff recommends City Council approve the proposed first amendment (Attachment 1) to extend the agreement an additional year with an expiration date of June 26, 2026.

Background:

At its June 14, 2022 meeting, City Council approved a three-year agreement with the Rotary Club of Hermosa Beach for use of the corner of 11th Street and Valley Drive for the Friday Farmers Market through June 27, 2025 (Attachment 2).

All Ayes (5-0)
(Armato, Campbell, Detoy,
Jackson, Massey)
Discussion:

The Friday Farmers Market takes place on the corner of 11th Street and Valley Drive and is heavily attended by school-aged children and the community in the surrounding area.

The current agreement with the Rotary Club for the Friday Farmers Market (Attachment 2) expires on June 27, 2025. Staff is recommending City Council approve a one-year extension of the current agreement to allow staff additional time to develop new mutually agreeable terms to incorporate in a new three-year agreement.

The new three-year agreement would identify and incorporate appropriate safety protocols and measures to secure the event perimeter and provide clarity on permit requirements from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to ensure full compliance for the Friday Farmers Market.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Governance Element
Goal 5. Small beach town character is reflected throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policy:
 5.7 Visitor and resident balance. Recognize the desire and need to balance visitor-serving and local-serving uses as a key to preserving character and the economic vitality of the community.

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

Policy:
 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.

Parks and Open Space Element
Goal 3. Community parks and facilities encourage social activity and interaction.

Page 122 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Policies:
 3.2 Social and cultural events. Design and program parks and open space to accommodate unique social and cultural events to foster connectedness and interaction.
 3.5 Health and physical activity. Increase the availability of space and variety of activities that promote community health and physical activity such as community gardens, fitness stations/equipment, and fields/courts.

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the proposed amendment would result in the collection of approximately $207 for the Amplified Sound Permit in Fiscal Year 2025-26, plus any costs related to City services or personnel required for the event.

Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-CDD-083
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council PARTICIPATION IN BEACH CITIES TRANSIT (BCT) LINE 109 AGREEMENT WITH

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION FROM OTHER CITIES, FUNDED PARTIALLY FROM

PROPOSITION A FUNDS
(Community Development Director Alison Becker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve participation in the Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109 along with the other beach cities, with required financial contribution from the City for Fiscal Year 2025-26; and

2. Authorize the City of Hermosa Beach contribution of $17,183 for FY 2025–26 paid from Proposition A funds for the BCT Line 109; and

3. Authorize the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest to the Transit Service Operation Agreement subject to approval by the Interim City Attorney (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

The Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109 provides service for a portion of former Line 439 that was discontinued by Metro in 2006. Since that time, Hermosa Beach along with the cities of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach have participated in a costshare agreement to provide funding for BCT Line 109 operation. BCT Line 109 operates from Redondo Beach Riviera Village to LAX City Bus Center. The current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025 and the participating cities desire to enter into a new agreement for a one-year term ending June 30, 2026.

Background:

The City of Redondo Beach is a municipal transit operator and annually receives dedicated transit funds under the Formula Allocation Procedures (FAP), which incorporates transit performance data to allocate transit funding. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) allocates the FAP funds, consisting of dedicated Proposition A and C, Measure R and Measure M funds, in addition to other dedicated transit funding, to the municipal transit operators. BCT Line 109 is funded through this combination of regional FAP transit funds, fare revenues from riders, and dedicated Proposition A Local Return Transportation Funds.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 7
On July 1, 2006, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach entered into the first Transit Service Operation Agreement to enable BCT Line 109 to take over public transportation services for the discontinued Los Angeles County MTA Line 439 for a two-year term.

Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach subsequently entered into new agreements relating to Line 109 in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Analysis:

Since FY 2019-20, BCT Line 109 operations have been fully funded by the City’s annual Transit Formula Procedure funding (FAP) allocations and Proposition A Local Return Funds. Cost sharing funds were not needed from the partner Cities for FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21, FY 2021-22, FY 2022-23, FY 2023-24, and FY 2024-25.

BCT transit ridership continues to be in recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, and BCT is approximately 80 percent of pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, consistent with regional and national transit providers. Other transit enhancements such as the Real-Time Information (Google Maps, Transit App, Moovit, etc.) and TAP cards continue to give passengers a seamless ride on BCT and other regional transit systems.

The City of Redondo Beach completed a Transit Services Study that evaluated the fixed route and Dial‐A‐Ride services and provided Zero Bus Emissions recommendations. In relation to the Line 109 services, the study recommended options to improve Line 109 routing, plan for LAX area route changes, and adjust future service hours. The final Transit Services Study was approved by Redondo Beach City Council at its December 19, 2023 meeting.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7
BCT has made updates to help ensure continued seamless operations. Recent updates include the following:
 The City of Redondo Beach has onboarded a new Transit Manager and Transit Analyst and is in the process of recruiting a Senior Management Analyst. These additions will enhance capacity to manage and execute transit projects while maintaining BCT operations.
 The transit operations contract is being awarded and is expected to be announced in May 2025. The estimates provided are based on the new award contract.  BCT is looking forward to transitioning from the social media platform “X” to Instagram. This shift aims to improve communication and engagement with the community, which will support BCT goals by increasing public awareness and participation.
 With the new LAX Metro Transit Center opening, Route 109 will have minor adjustments to the route near the transit center. Information to follow once confirmed.

Passenger Trips 143,404 87,239 139,173 140,553 142,877
Los Angeles Metro’s annual Transit Formula Allocations Procedure program (FAP) to municipal transit operators is based on sales tax revenue receipts. Metro based Regional Funding estimates decreased for FY 2025-26 by 10 percent based on several economic forecasts.

The Cost Sharing Allocations are based on the percentage of average route miles within each City. Redondo Beach will pay more than the other Cities’ allocated percentage, in order to cover increased costs that exceed estimates. Since the pandemic, this year is the first year City of Redondo Beach has asked partner cities to contribute to the cost sharing allocation.

Page 135 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
Based on the preliminary FAP fund marks issued by Metro in March 2025, the City estimates FY 2025-26 BCT Line 109 operations will experience a shortfall of an estimated $620,785.

City Route Miles FY26 Costs
Redondo Beach 34.95% $216,964
Hermosa Beach 10.89% $67,603
Manhattan Beach 16.05% $99,636
El Segundo 38.11% $236,581
Total 100% $620,785
Redondo Beach will use the Prop A local return to cover 90 percent of the shortfall, effectively subsidizing the partner cities' expenses in the short term. The current political climate introduces uncertainty regarding long-term funding. Therefore, to ensure the continued operation of Line 109, which is shared between Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach, adjustments to the cost-sharing agreement will be necessary, and contributions from Beach Cities Transit's (BCT) partner cities will increase in subsequent years to cover ongoing operational costs.

With the 2024 Agreement set to expire on June 30, 2025, the participating cities desire to enter into a new agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in the attached agreement (Attachment 1). If approved, the new Transit Service Operation Agreement would be effective July 1, 2025 for a one-year term, expiring on June 30, 2026.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Mobility Element
Goal 1. Complete Streets that serve the diverse functions of mobility, commerce, recreation, and community engagement for all users whether they travel by walking, bicycling, transit, or driving.

Policy:
 1.1 Consider all modes. Require the planning, design, and construction of all modes of travel to create safe, livable, and inviting environments for all users of the system.

Goal 3. Public rights-of-way supporting a multimodal and people-oriented transportation system that provides diversity and flexibility on how users choose to be mobile.

Policy:
 3.4 Access opportunities. Provide enhanced mobility and access opportunities for local transportation and transit services in areas of the city with sufficient density and intensity of uses, mix of appropriate uses, and supportive bicycle and pedestrian network connections that can reduce vehicle trips within the city’s busiest corridors.

Fiscal Impact:

Page 137 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 7
BCT Line 109 Cost Sharing Estimates Discussion for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 The total cost for FY 2025-26 is estimated at $2,377,632 for the operation of 20,307 projected annual service hours. Cost increases from the prior year are the result of increased fuel expenses, the transit contractor's annual operating increases, and realtime information system expenses. Currently, the net shortfall for transit service is estimated at $620,785.

Since FY26 will be the first year partner cities are asked to contribute to Line 109, the formula used to calculate the cost estimates is based on a 15 percent year-over-year increase from the last agreement paid to the City of Redondo Beach.

Redondo Beach is requesting a City of Hermosa Beach contribution for FY 2025–26 of $17,183. The City contribution for BCT Line 109 is currently budgeted in the FY 2025–26 Preliminary Budget using Proposition A Funds as part of the Community Development department budget.

Service
Overview
Updates
Beach Cities Transit (BCT) operates Line 109 route with agency partners, including Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and El Segundo. The partner agencies have shared operating costs for Line 109.

Since FY 2019-20, BCT Line 109 operations have been fully-funded by the City’s annual Transit Formula Procedure funding (FAP) allocations and Proposition A Local Return Funds.

Cost sharing funds were not needed from the partner Cities for FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21, FY 2021-22, FY 2022-23, FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.

BCT transit ridership continues to be in recovery, and BCT is approximately 80% of preCOVID-19 pandemic levels, consistent with regional and national transit providers. Other transit enhancements such as the Real-Time Information (Google Maps, Transit App, Moovit, etc.) and TAP cards continue to give passengers a seamless ride on BCT and other regional transit systems.

1. The City of Redondo Beach has onboarded a new Transit Manager and Transit Analyst, and is in the process of recruiting a Senior Management Analyst. These additions will enhance our capacity to manage and execute transit projects while maintaining BCT operations.

2. The transit operations contract is being awarded and is expected to be announced in May 2025. The estimates provided are based on the new award contract.

3. BCT is looking forward to transitioning from the social media platform “X” to Instagram. This shift aims to improve communication and engagement with the community, which will support BCT goals by increasing public awareness and participation.

4. With the new LAX Metro Transit Center opening, Route 109 will have minor adjustments to the route near the transit center. Information to follow once confirmed.

Los Angeles Metro’s annual Transit Formula Allocations Procedure program (FAP) to municipal transit operators is based on sales tax revenue receipts. Metro based Regional Funding estimates decrease for FY 2025-26 by 10% based on several economic forecasts.

The Cost Sharing Allocations are based on the percent of average route miles within each City. Redondo Beach will pay more than the other Cities’ allocated percentage, in order to cover increased costs that exceed estimates. Since the pandemic, this year will be the first year City of Redondo Beach will ask our partner cities to contribute to the cost sharing allocation.

Based on the preliminary FAP fund marks issued by Metro in March 2025, the City estimates FY 2025-26 BCT Line 109 operations will experience a shortfall of an estimated $620,785.

The expenses included in the cost sharing estimates for BCT Line 109 are the operating expenses incurred by the transit contractor, fuel expenses and Real-Time Information (RTI). The funding sources for these expenditures are based on the FAP and fare revenues.

Estimated Expenditures 2025-2026
Estimated Line 109 Costs Estimated Transit Funding
Operations $2,102,803
Fuel $252,329
RTI Capital/Ops $22,500
Total EstimatedCost $2,377,632
Operation/RTI Funding FAP $1,626,847
Fare Revenues $130,000
Total Estimated Revenues $1,756,847
Net Shortfall $620,785
The total cost for FY 2025-26 is estimated at $2,377,632 for the operation of 20,307 projected annual service hours. Cost increases from the prior year are the result of increased fuel expenses, the transit contractor's annual operating increases, and realtime information system expenses. Since FY26 will be the first year asking partner cities to contribute to Line 109, the formula used to calculate the cost estimates is based on a 15% year-over-year increase from the last agreement paid to the City of Redondo Beach.

The chart below summarizes the cost breakdown by route miles allocated to each city using the total net shortfall multiplied by route miles.

City Route Miles FY26 Costs
Redondo Beach 34.95% $216,964
Hermosa Beach 10.89% $67,603
Manhattan Beach 16.05% $99,636
El Segundo 38.11% $236,581
Total 100% $620,785
Redondo Beach will use the Prop A local return to cover 90% of the shortfall, effectively subsidizing the partner cities' expenses in the short term. Looking ahead, however, the current political climate introduces uncertainty regarding long-term funding. Therefore, to ensure the continued operation of Line 109, which is shared between Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach, adjustments to the cost-sharing agreement will be necessary, and contributions from Beach Cities Transit's (BCT) partner cities will increase in subsequent years to cover ongoing operational costs.

Discussion:

The City recognizes that short-term uses and event activities on private property may be beneficial for property redevelopment and supports local businesses. While these temporary activities may not completely adhere to all zoning standards, temporary operating standards and regulations are established to control and minimize impacts.

Temporary uses and temporary event regulations are contained in Hermosa Beach

Page 155 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 10
Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17.42 pertaining to General Provisions, Conditions, and Exceptional Uses and are permitted as Administrative Permits in accordance with HBMC Chapter 17.55 (Attachment 2). Administrative permits are reviewed by staff and do not require a public hearing or public notification. The regulations reference various zoning districts. A zoning map is included for reference as (Attachment 3).

There are currently five separate sections within HBMC Chapter 17.42 of the code addressing temporary activities. Staff recommends merging all temporary uses and event into a single section broadly titled as “Temporary Uses and Minor Special Events.” This proposed change would simplify the code and help users of the zoning code. The following discussion provides a summary of the new section changes to the current regulations as well as the changes made by City Council on April 8, 2025 (Attachment 4).

TEMPORARY USES
This new sub-section introduces various short-term uses that may be permitted with the approval of an Administrative Permit. Generally, these temporary uses are designed to support the redevelopment of a site and require approval to ensure that any impacts are managed and the duration is limited. The following temporary uses are proposed:
 Construction yard, located off-site from the location where construction is occurring.
 Mobile homes as temporary residences with a valid building permit for a new single-family home.
o Maximum duration of two years
 Storage containers in combination with a building permit for work off-site.  Work trailers for employees of a business with a current building permit.  Other similar uses as determined by the Community Development Director.

Temporary Use Exemptions
An exemption section was added to clarify situations where a use would require an alternative City permit. For example, garage sales on residential properties within commercial zones require a permit in accordance with Chapter 5.44 of the Municipal Code and on-site construction yards and temporary real estate offices would be allowed with a valid building permit instead of requiring an Administrative Permit for a temporary use.

TEMPORARY EVENTS
This sub-section groups the four event types: 1) Limited Events, 2) Temporary Minor Special Events, 3) Seasonal Sale Lots, and 4) Outdoor Sales into a single section.

Temporary events allow for the activation of property, both indoors and outdoors, that may

Page 156 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 10
not typically be permitted by the underlying zone and may not comply with all development standards of the zone.

Limited Events, applicable to the Cypress District—M-1 Zone The limited events permit was designed for indoor activities that showcase the art or goods produced on site. These standards were first added to the Zoning Code in 2020.

The modifications would make the regulations of the events more flexible. The following summarizes the recommended operating standards for limited events:
 Events are limited to the interior of the building. Any outdoor event would be required to obtain a Temporary Minor Special Event.
 Events have a maximum duration of five hours. This is an increase from the current three-hour limit for Limited Events.
 Limited Events may occur up to six times per month, with no more than two events in a seven-day period.
 Events may also occur for a total of 72 days a year (as amended by City Council)  Amplified sound would be permitted in accordance with Noise Ordinance. Under the current code amplified sound is not permitted as part of a Limited Event.  Alcohol service and consumption would be allowed with a license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control during an event. Alcohol sales are not permitted (as amended by City Council).
 A parking plan is no longer required for a Limited Event.  Limited Events dates may be restricted at the discretion of the Police Chief to ensure there are adequate resources to maintain public safety. In addition, events would be automatically prohibited on the following celebrations and holidays: St.

Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend dates due to history of increase in calls for service.

The amendments provide greater flexibility to the programming of limited events but remain consistent with its original intent for lower-intensity, indoor-only events.

Temporary Minor Special Events
The temporary minor special event category has the broadest applicability of the temporary events. Temporary minor special events allow for a variety of public assembly and entertainment such as concerts, festivals, sports, cultural, philanthropic and/or educational events, and other commercial events deemed similar by the Community Development Director.

The City Council revised the standards to allow a total of 72 days for events with a maximum allowance of 24 events in a 12-month period. The following summarizes the standard related to event frequency, spacing and duration of events:
 A maximum of two events per month.
 No more than three consecutive days for any event.

Page 157 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 10
 No less than five days between events.

The following highlights other provisions applicable to temporary minor special events that have been added or amended:

 Temporary minor special events within the M-1 Zone must be both indoors and outdoors, with the indoor portion of the event not being less than 50 percent of the outdoor areas. (as amended by City Council)
 Temporary event dates may be amended because of inclement weather or additional dates added to an application, with the Director’s approval.  Temporary sanitation facilities may be permitted as part of a temporary event.  The restriction on moving lights was eliminated while the prohibition on strobe lights was maintained. (as amended by City Council)
 Clarification that temporary signs associated with an event may be permitted in accordance with the sign ordinance and would not require a separate application and fee.
 Temporary Minor Special Events dates may be restricted at the discretion of the Police Chief to ensure there are adequate resources to maintain public safety. In addition, events would be automatically prohibited on the following celebrations and holidays: St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend dates due to history of increase in calls for service.  Maintains a requirement that any deviation from the specified standards requires a Conditional Use Permit.
 Temporary events often occur within parking lots, temporarily displacing the onsite parking. Depending on the size of the parking lot and size of the result, this can result in spillover impacts into the surrounding neighborhood and potentially impact the surrounding neighborhoods. In consideration of those concerns parking requirement were revised to allow parking to be displaced based on the size of the parking lot as follows:
a. All existing accessible parking must be maintained on-site in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act;
b. In parking lots with 14 or fewer spaces, no additional parking shall be required, provided those alternative modes of transit (such as biking, walking, ride-share, etc.) are prominently promoted as part of any event advertising; (as amended by City Council)
c. In a parking lot with 15 or more parking spaces, the displacement of more than five spaces shall be off-set by implementing a temporary parking demand management plan. This plan is subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director. The plan may include private off-site parking (with the property owner's authorization and off-set hours), valet parking,

Page 158 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 10
shared parking, bicycle parking, ride-sharing options, and shuttle services (as amended by City Council); and
d. Based on the characteristics and type of event the Community Development Director may require additional parking to address the anticipated demand generated from an event in any sized parking lot.

Outdoor Sales and Seasonal Sale Lots
Outdoor sales events and seasonal sale lots are existing event types that are proposed to be retained. Minor changes were made to clarify that conditions of approval may be added to any permit along with internal references to other related sections of the code.

In addition, at the direction of the City Council the maximum number of seasonal sales per lot was reduced from four to one sale per year.

Temporary Event Exemptions
To assist users of the code, an exemption from temporary minor special events section was added to clarify where an event does not require a permit or is covered under a different type of permit. An exemption for incidental business uses was added. This exemption would delineate that uses such as party games, book signings, and other similar activities are not deemed events. Incidental uses are complimentary to a business, do not alter the intensity of the use, and do authorize a use not permitted in the zone or requiring a discretionary approval (CUP).

Finally, the Planning Commission recommended City Council consider updating the fee schedule to provide a reduced fee for date changes and amending the fees to allow a partial refund of fees when an application for temporary use or a temporary event is denied. If the City Council desires to consider this change, it may choose to direct staff to agendize the matter at a future meeting or provide direction to staff as it considers the updates to the fee schedule under the separate agenda item.

General Plan Consistency:

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

The proposed zoning code amendments pertaining to temporary uses and temporary events align with PLAN Hermosa goals and policies listed below.

Governance Element
Goal 5. Small Beach town Character is reflected throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policies:
 5.1 Residential and commercial compatibility. Provide a balance between residential and commercial uses and strive to ensure their compatibility.  5.3 Clear regulations. Establish clear, unambiguous regulations and policies to clearly communicate the City’s expectations for new development.

Page 159 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 10
The proposed Temporary Use and Temporary Event regulations consolidate temporary activity regulations into a single section. The regulation adds flexibility while maintaining limitations regarding event duration, frequency, hours, entertainment, and alcohol to ensure compatibility between residential and commercial uses.

Land Use and Design 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:
 1.4 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.  1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses.  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.

To support a strong economy, the temporary event regulations would be updated to allow for a greater number of temporary minor special events along with regulations and procedures to ensure compatibility between uses.

Goal 3. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policy:
 3.1 Unique districts. Encourage the development of local and city-wide districts and centers that address different community needs and market sectors and complement surrounding neighborhoods.

The draft regulation recognizes the uniqueness of the district within the city and maintains a Limited Event permit specific to the Cypress District within the M-1 Zone.

Goal 5. Scenic vistas, viewpoints, and resources are maintained or enhanced.

Policy:
 5.7 Light pollution. Preserve skyward nighttime views and lessen glare by minimizing lighting levels along the shoreline.

Page 160 of 305 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 10
The draft regulation aims to provide flexibility and allowances for temporary events.

However, consistent with the general plan policy, strobe lights have not been included as an allowable feature for these events, as they would contribute to light pollution, even if temporarily.

Goal 11. A proud and visible identity as an arts and cultural community.

Policy:
 11.6 Temporary Installations. Support ongoing temporary artwork installations and performance-based arts events in areas with strong pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Temporary events can serve to promote art-related activities within the city. The draft regulations allow for increased flexibility in organizing events, accompanied by reasonable regulations and procedures to ensure compatibility between different uses.

Environmental Determination:

The proposed zone text amendment is a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the State CEQA Guidelines (Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations). The activity is covered by the Common Sense Exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. There is no possibility that the proposed change to the zoning code may have a significant effect on the environment, therefore the activity is not subject to CEQA. No special circumstances exist that the proposed change would create a significant adverse effect on the environment (i.e. no sensitive species or habitats, no hazardous sites, no scenic highways, no historic resources, etc.).

Public Notification:

A notice was published on May 17, 2025 in the Daily Breeze for the May 27, 2025 City Council meeting. On May 15, 2025, notices were posted at City Hall, the Library, and Community Resources.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.
