PUBLIC COMMENT tonyhiggins Dear Council,
Something you may not have known:

California's use of the 85th percentile rule has historically led to a phenomenon known as "speed creep," where speed limits gradually increase over time.

Under the traditional application of this rule, local governments were often forced to raise speed limits to match the speed at which 85% of drivers were already traveling to maintain legal enforcement. This created a cycle: as the posted limit rose, drivers often drove even faster, leading to a higher 85th percentile in the next mandatory 7- to 14-year survey, which then required another limit.

You can do something about that [preemptively] by reducing the speed limit from 25 to 20mph on busy RESIDENTIAL collector roads like prospect, 27th and Gould adjacent to Valley Park where legitimate safety concerns meet the tests required by AB 43.

Thank you for your consideration,

FUNDING - 26-PW013
Laura Pena Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - I am writing to respectfully request a continuance of this item regarding the Downtown Lighting and Beautification Subcommittees recommendation for the $100,000 beautification funding allocation.

Beautification is important, and I appreciate the effort that has gone into developing a proposal.

However, before the City takes final action, I believe there should be an opportunity for broader feedback from residents, downtown businesses, and property owners. These funds were intended to support the downtown commercial district, and additional outreach would help ensure the expenditure plan reflects community priorities and the Citys broader economic development goals.

I also believe the City should consider whether some or all of these funds could support a partnership in which businesses work with the Chamber of Commerce to explore collaborating with the City on a string lighting palm trees and/or hanging flower basket project. Improvements like these could help create a stronger sense of place, beautify the downtown, and support a more welcoming and vibrant business district.

A continuance would not stop the work. It would simply provide time for a more transparent and inclusive review of the recommendations and allow stakeholders to weigh in on whether the current proposal is the best use of these funds.

For these reasons, I respectfully ask the City Council to continue this item to a future meeting and invite additional public and business feedback before approving the expenditure plan.

As always, I appreciate your consideration.

Vincent Busam Looking at ways to make Hermosa safer, a LOT of attention recently has been focused on e-bikes.

What has been missed is motor vehicle safety, where many people have been killed in collisions in and around our city the past few years, including two of our local students. If we're ready to fund increased e-bike enforcement, we should also be ready to proportionally fund improvements to motor vehicle safety. This could come in the form of increased patrolling, but a better way would be to collaborate with our neighboring beach cities and CalTrans on improving safety on our shared roads - PCH & Aviation, by physically modifying the streets to discourage dangerous driving.

Randy Balik Just a suggestion to continue this item to a future date. I know that downtown lighting and beautification is an important topic and has been for quite a while (and I generally support it!). But in speaking with some local business owners, who are really at the tip of the pyramid of those who will benefit, I've heard multiple folks suggest that this item its current form needs a bit more time for review. Seems to me it wouldn't hurt to continue this one for a bit and seek more thorough input, and that thorough input can only be developed with a bit more review time and discussion.

Hello City Council,
I am a Hermosa Beach resident of 37 years and an avid pickleball player. I mostly play at a private club 30 minutes away, paying for memberships in other cities, because even with the four Kelly Courts after renovation, local access is very limited. Playing locally would allow me to stay active and connect with neighbors in my own community.

I understand some neighbors are concerned about noise, and I hope the staffs recommendation to designate Courts 1 and 2 for reservation and open walk-on play, Courts 3 and 4 for walk-on only, along with Option 2 hours (9 a.m.9 p.m. daily), can balance everyones needs.

I also encourage structured programming like leagues and round robins to make the courts welcoming for all residents.

Thank you.

Dear Mayor, Council, and Staff -
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, we want to begin by expressing our appreciation for the City Councils decision to set aside $100,000 for beautification activities intended to improve the downtown commercial district. We recognize and value the Citys willingness to invest in the public realm and in the appearance of our commercial areas. The Chamber shares the goal of creating a more attractive, welcoming, and economically vibrant downtown.

We also appreciate that beautification is recognized in the Citys Economic Development Strategy as an important part of strengthening our commercial districts and overall quality of place. At the same time, that same strategy emphasizes that implementation should occur in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and with input from the community as part of our beautification efforts.

Accordingly, the Chamber respectfully requests that the City Council defer final approval of the expenditure plan to a future meeting date and allow time for broader Chamber led outreach to downtown businesses and stakeholders. A continuation would allow the Chamber to gather practical feedback from businesses and provide the Council with more informed input on which improvements would be most visible, most valued, and most supportive of economic activity.

We also respectfully request that the City provide the relevant materials used to develop this recommendation, including memoranda, action minutes, meeting summaries, and other background documents, so the Chamber can provide informed feedback.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued support of Hermosa Beachs commercial districts.

Sincerely,
No

mc guerry I oppose discontinuing funding for the BCT 109. I use it to get to other places in the South Bay. Instead, you should increase funding for it and then increase its frequency. This would be a much better use of funds than more pickleball courts.

1. This subcommittee was established at the 5/13/25 Council meeting as a Downtown Lighting and Beautification subcommittee, yet none of the proposed projects are in the downtown area.

2. I read the 1/8/26 staff memo (attached) which described challenges related to proposed downtown projects - string lights, hanging planters, enhanced landscaping - so that may explain why the subcommittee changed scope.

3. However, the subcommittee having changed scope, and proposing enhancing a few planters scattered throughout the City seems fundamentally different than the original mission.

4. I fully support undertaking necessary maintenance, repairs and improvements to the vintage signs. I was not clear on the "brick repairs" but, subject to that, it seems $500 is allocated to vintage sign repair. That seems a maintenance item but if there is insufficient budget for this, perhaps $500 (plus any portion of the brick repair item) of the $100,000 allocated to "beautification" in the Capital Improvement Budget could go toward that.

5. I suggest landscape and planter enhancements, which are sorely needed, become their own item like streets, sidewalks, etc. This would allow time for a more thorough review of priorities (safety) and scope.

Thank you for your consideration.

Tyron Gunn On behalf of Beach Cities Transit, our agency values its partnership with the City of Hermosa Beach.

The services we provide are designed to support mobility, reduce congestion, and enhance regional connectivity for residents, workers, and visitors. We are proud to serve Hermosa Beach with Line 109 and our Dial-a-Ride program and hope to continue this partnership into the future.

We understand the City's interest in obtaining city-specific ridership data. Hermosa Beach staff amended our FY 2025-26 agreement to require the reporting of Metro's "Daily A102" report, which details daily Metro TAP card transactions. We were happy to share this report; however, the report is managed by Metro and BCT does not control the completeness of the data. This report also does not capture all riders, only those paying fare via a Metro TAP card.

To address this need for stop-level data, we recently asked our bus operators to begin manually counting activity at each bus stop. Between November 1, 2025 and March 10, 2026 approximately 910 riders boarded Line 109 within Hermosa Beach and approximately 1,130 riders disembarked within Hermosa Beach. This new data was made available to Hermosa Beach staff during a meeting on March 19, 2026.

Thank you for your consideration,

PUBLIC COMMENT tonyhiggins Dear City Council,
PLAN Hermosa prioritizes street safety and traffic calming to moderate vehicle speeds. However, despite these goals, a recent HBPD report reveals that the city hasnt issued a single speeding ticket on busy residential collector roads like Prospect, Ardmore, Gould, 27th Street, or Manhattan Avenue in over two years.

While the City Council quickly reduced speed limits to 20 mph on Pier and Hermosa Avenues downtown, they refuse to publicly consider similar reductions for these RESIDENTIAL streetseven those that clearly qualify.

Incumbents Jackson, Saemann, and Francois, all up for re-election this November, owe the public an explanation for this inconsistency. If they won't prioritize the safety of our residential neighborhoods, its time to elect leaders who will.

Hello again. This is a supplement to my first e-comment, as to which it has been suggested I buried the lede.

So, I request Council pull this item from the consent calendar and continue discussion to a future meeting.

If Council pulls this item and elects to discuss and decide at this meeting, I request $500 plus whatever in the "brick replacement" line item is attributable to the vintage signs, be spent on the vintage sign repair.

I request the balance of the $100,000 designated in the Capital Improvement budget for downtown lighting, wayfinding and beautification, remain in the piggy bank until the community has the opportunity to determine how best to spend those funds for those purposes.

See my earlier e-comment for a further explanation.

Thank you for your consideration of these remarks and your service to our city.

Alex Fineman I urge the City to continue funding BCT 109. As a former Hermosa Beach resident and current Redondo Beach resident, I've been using BCT for over a decade and lately, using BCT 109 as a means to visit downtown Hermosa Beach without having to worry about parking. For a City that struggles with meeting its parking demand, BCT should be seen as part of the solution to the problem, not a minor line item to be deleted. Furthermore, BCT 109 now provides a one-seat ride from Hermosa Beach to the new LAX people mover, and should be promoted to its residents as an easy, affordable way to reach the airport. The City should take the opportunity to invest in BCT and improve its service, not defund it.

Yu-Shen Ng I'm a resident of Hermosa Beach. I live on 11th street, within 1 block of the Kelly Courts. I encourage the Council to open the courts for the maximum time possible: Option 2. Twice a week, I already drive too far (10 to 20 minutes away) to find courts that are already too busy (wait times of 10-15 minutes for every 15 minutes of play). There just aren't enough courts in the area, even with recent additions of new courts in Redondo Beach (at Alta Vista) and upcoming additions in Torrance (at Wilson Park).

Please help.

I particularly recommend drop-in open play. It's more community-oriented and enables greater utility for all. All 4 courts should allocate significant time for drop-in open play; if only 2 courts are available for drop-in open play, there won't be a critical mass of players. Thanks! For

Kimberly Noble Im a Hermosa Beach resident of 12 years, and Im writing to express my strong support for expanding access to the Kelly Pickleball Courts.

Specifically, I urge you to adopt Option B and extend court hours to 9am9pm daily. This decision will best meet the needs of our community today. While I appreciate the planned expansion from two to four courts, demand for pickleball locally is high and continues to grow rapidly, Four courts is still not many, and access will remain constrained without expanded hours.

Pickleball has become a positive, healthy, and social outlet for all ages, and yet, current availability doesn't come close to meeting demand. Expanding hours is a practical and immediate way to better serve a large and active group of residents while also helping to reduce demand during peak times.

While I understand there have been concerns raised by nearby neighbors, its important to recognize that these courts are located within a public park, where recreational activity and associated noise are to be expected. At present, the limitations appear to place disproportionate weight on a relatively small number of resident complaints, while restricting access for a much broader segment of the community.

Expanding court availability to 9am9pm will ensures more equitable access and promotes another avenue for healthy activity and social connection in our little beach town.

Thank you for your consideration and for supporting a solution that better reflects the needs of the community.

Mary Stevens I am a Hermosa resident of 15 years and am wriring to support Option 1, to add Sunday hours for pickleball. I understand the importance of being thoughtful to neighbors as well as the strong demand for play. The courts are consistently full and difficult to reserve, leading to locals often choosing out-oftown options at high prices. It is also clear that noise is a real consideration for nearby residents and that while living near a park does not guarantee silence, it should expect reasonable sound mitigation.

Option 1 is a balanced starting point, adding Sunday 9am-4pm hours to the current schedule. It increases access while still maintaining reasonable limits for the surrounding neighborhood.

Recommended additional for a critical next step - Fund a professional sound study (within several months of reopening) that measures the actual impacts (sound levels, duration, frequency) nearby.

And then use this data to evaluate the possibility of exanding to Option 2 (9am-9pm daily).

A sound study would support recreation and community wellness while basing future decisions on real data, not assumptions. This demonstrates a thoughtful balance between public access and neighboorhood quality of life.

Pickleball is an important part of Hermosa's community life and a phased, evidence-based approach would allow the city to move forward responsibly. Thank you for your consideration! For

Anna Garcia Im a 11-year Hermosa Beach resident, a pickleball player, and I live near the courts. Im writing to strongly support expanding court hours.

Option 2 (9 a.m. 9 p.m. daily) is the most ideal and truly reflects the level of demand. The courts are consistently full.

Even living nearby, Ive only been able to reserve a court twice in the past two years. Residents pay a $20 annual membership, yet Parks and Recreation is upfront with all applicants that reservations are very difficult and not guaranteed. Its frustrating to be able to walk to the courts, but still have to drive 1520 minutes to find a place to play.

At the same time, I understand the concerns around noise. Living near Clark Field means living with activityits part of a shared community space. The goal should be balance.

I also recognize that pickleball courts can be contentious. Thats exactly why its important for the City to rely on facts. A professional sound study within 120 days of reopening will help guide future decisions and confirm whether the court renovations and mitigation efforts are working.

Thank you for your consideration.

Linda Trinh Dear Council Members, Im a Hermosa Beach resident and pickleball player of two years. Im writing to ask if the city would consider expanding court availability to include some evening and weekend hours.

Specifically expand evening hours, daily 9am to 9pm would be great.

I used to be able to catch a Friday game when my schedule allowed, but honestly, even then it was really hard to get a court Fridays fill up fast! Now that my work schedule has changed to standard MondayFriday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., getting out there during the day just isnt an option anymore. Id love to be able to play a few evenings after work or on the weekends. Its honestly one of my favorite ways to decompress, get some exercise, and hang out with people in the community.

I really appreciate everything the city does for its residents, and I hope this is something the Council can look into. Thanks so much for your time!

I am writing to express my support for option 2 (courts open daily from 9am to 9pm).

I have been a resident of Hermosa Beach for almost 7 years. I moved here right after college and fell in love with the community, especially the well maintained and accessible public spaces.

As someone who works full time, evenings and weekends are the only times I can benefit from the city resources, such as the pickleball courts. Opening the courts from 9am-9pm daily will make them much more accessible to all residents and limit the competition associated with reserving a court currently.

I understand that pickleball can be noisy, but so are all of the other activities that take place at a public park. There is no reason this sport should be limited any differently.

Laura Pena Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff -
I appreciate the effort to address current needs, but I remain concerned that the City is continuing to rely on one time funds to balance a budget that staff describes as facing ongoing structural deficits.

I respectfully ask Council to focus on the longer term picture before approving the full package as presented. The five year forecast shows expenditures rising well above revenues by FY 203031. What is the specific plan to close that gap in a sustainable way, rather than continuing to rely on one-time solutions?
Relatedly, before the estimated remaining unspent FY 202425 funds are assigned, I would appreciate clarity on what legal or policy constraints apply to those dollars and whether any portion can be leveraged in a way that permanently reduces the Citys structural deficit, rather than simply backfilling another year.

QUESTIONS:

1. I also have questions about the proposed increase to Community Development contract services. If the goal is to improve plan review capacity, permit processing, and state reporting, how will success be measured? What are the current turnaround times, what improvement is expected, and when will Council and the public see performance data showing whether this added spending is actually producing faster and more reliable service?
I also encourage Council to consider an expedited review pathway, where legally appropriate, for revenue generating projects and permits that can strengthen the tax base, support local business activity, and improve investment confidence. In a period of structural deficits, the City should be looking not only at cost control, but also at how to responsibly accelerate projects that produce No

I strongly support expanding hours, and I think Option 2 (9 a.m. 9 p.m. daily) is the most ideal since the courts are consistently full. That said, I understand why starting with Option 1 makes sense right now.

Pickleball brings real health and community benefits, and the City has already invested in these courtsit makes sense to fully use them. In a compact, busy city like Hermosa, some level of sound is part of living near parkslike the regular sounds from little league at Clark Fieldwhile still being respectful of those nearby.

I am an avid pickleball player but often have to go to neighboring cities to play due to court shortage or hours. While we are excited about the new courts, the limited hours make it difficult for working people or students to play.

Meeting Date: March 24, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-PR-002
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVE SPECIAL EVENT LONG-TERM AGREEMENT WITH HOPE CHAPEL FROM 2026 THROUGH 2028 TO PROVIDE ANNUAL HOPE CHAPEL PICNIC EVENTS
(Special Events and Filming Coordinator Austin DeWeese) Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve a special event long-term agreement (LTA) with Hope Chapel from 2026 through 2028 to provide annual Hope Chapel picnic events (Attachment); and

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

Executive Summary:

The Parks and Recreation Department is tasked with overseeing special events on public property. To support and develop a long-term approach to the scheduling of events, eligible events can qualify for an LTA with the City.

At its January 13, 2026 meeting, City Council authorized staff to begin LTA negotiations with Hope Chapel for Hope Chapel Picnic covering 2026 through 2028.

Background:

The LTA Program allows organizations that meet the eligibility requirements to apply for an LTA to solidify event dates for up to three years, eliminating the need for organizations to submit a special event application each year and participate in the annual review and approval process by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and City Council.

The Hope Chapel Picnic would consist of a community picnic at Valley Park with food, music, games, and activities for all ages. The event producer anticipates approximately 1,000 participants and spectators throughout the course of each event.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date Description
December 2, 2025 monthly event day limits outlined in the Special Event Policy Guide.

City Council:

January 13, 2026
Council approved the commencement of LTA negotiations with Hope Chapel for Hope Chapel Picnic from 2026 through 2028.

Discussion:

Staff worked with Hope Chapel to establish mutually agreeable terms for a Long-Term Agreement (LTA) for the Hope Chapel Picnic from 2026–2028. Negotiations are complete, and staff recommends approval of the proposed LTA with event dates of September 27, 2026; September 26, 2027; and September 24, 2028. These dates do not increase the monthly event days previously approved by City Council in 2026 (17 days) and remain within the monthly limit of 15 for 2027 and 2028, as set forth in the Special Event Policy Guide.

Fiscal Impact:

If the proposed LTA is approved, the General Fund would receive approximately $3,480 annually in indirect costs from the special event location fee, totaling roughly $10,440 over three years, in addition to direct costs for the amplified sound permit and reserved parking, at a total cost to be determined.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVE REMOVAL OF THREE OF SIX BASKETBALL HOOPS ON WEST SIDE

OF CLARK FIELD
(Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the removal of three of six basketball hoops along the western side of Clark Field, and the associated safety improvement measures.

Executive Summary:

The City’s risk management team identified (3) non-standard basketball courts located within the service road along the west side of Clark Field and associated safety concerns.

Staff brought an item to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (Commission) on February 10, 2026 to solicit input on options to enhance public safety such as removal of some or all of the basketball hoops, and other potential risk mitigation measures. The Commission provided staff with input, taking into consideration public comments, for the desire to restore some or all of the recreation hoops in potentially an alternative configuration to limit the potential for gameplay and improve overall safety.

Staff reviewed the input and comments received and developed a plan for Council consideration that includes the restoration of three (3) of the six (6) hoops (i.e., elimination of one hoop in each court), and modifications to the poles to allow for one 8-foot rim and two 9-foot rims, which are more suitable for younger players, installation of safety signage, and the future resurfacing of the play area.

Background:

The six basketball hoops along the western side of Clark Field are used for leisure and are not designed as recreational courts. The basketball hoops are aligned back-to-back with a three-foot wide area on each sideline. One side abuts the ballfield fence, and the other abuts a retaining wall. The space between each hoop measures approximately 60 feet by 24.5 feet wide.

By comparison, standard regulation dimensions as specified by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for an individual outdoor basketball court are 84 feet long by 50 feet wide for a full court and 50 feet long by 47 feet wide for a half-court, with a recommended

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
standards buffer zone of at least 3 feet, with 5 to 10 feet recommended for high-traffic or competitive settings.

Following the review of the non-standard basketball courts located within the service road along the west side of Clark Field and associated safety concerns, Public Works crews removed the six (6) backboards on February 2, 2026 and posted notices on the basketball posts with information about the removal and plans for discussion at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (Commission) (Attachment). Staff then brought an item to Commission at its February 10, 2026 meeting for further discussion and to solicit input on options to enhance public safety such as removal of some or all of the basketball hoops, and other potential risk mitigation measures. The Commission provided staff with input, taking into consideration public comments, and the desire to restore some or all of the recreation hoops in potentially an alternative configuration to limit the potential for gameplay and improve overall safety.

On, February 25, 2026, staff met with a group of nearby residents and the President of the Hermosa Beach Youth Basketball League to further discuss options and plans to restore some of the hoops with an alternative configuration. Subsequent to this meeting, on February 26, 2026, Public Works staff restored one of the hoops and developed and installed associated safety signage as an interim measure.

Past Commission Action
Meeting Date Description
February 10, 2026
Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission provided staff with input, taking into consideration public comments, for the desire to restore some or all of the recreation hoops in potentially an alternative configuration to limit the potential for gameplay and improve overall safety.

Discussion:

The area along the western side of Clark Field is physically constrained for basketball play. A short retaining wall borders one side of the asphalt, while a ballfield fence borders the other, leaving limited buffer space between active play and fixed, hard surfaces. The asphalt area also functions as a pedestrian and maintenance access route, resulting in overlapping uses within a confined footprint.

If informal or pick-up basketball games occur in this location, they involve high-energy physical activity immediately adjacent to rigid structures and within a shared circulation corridor. These conditions raise concerns regarding a potential “dangerous condition of public property” under Government Code Section 835. A public entity may be liable where (1) property is in a dangerous condition, (2) the condition proximately causes injury, (3) the risk of injury is reasonably foreseeable, and (4) the entity had actual or constructive notice and sufficient time to take protective measures. Given the proximity of the retaining

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
wall and fencing, the absence of safety buffers, and the foreseeable risk of player collisions or pedestrian conflicts, it could be argued that a dangerous condition exists particularly if the City knew or reasonably should have known of the configuration and did not take reasonable mitigation steps.

While Government Code Section 831.7 provides immunity for injuries arising from certain hazardous recreational activities, reliance on that immunity may be limited in this context.

Basketball is not typically classified as an inherently hazardous recreational activity under the statute, and immunity does not apply where a dangerous condition of public property exists independent of the activity itself or where the public entity creates or maintains a known structural hazard. Here, the placement and maintenance of basketball hoops in a narrow, mixed-use corridor could itself be alleged to constitute the dangerous condition.

In consideration of community feedback following the removal of the basketball backboards, and the Commission’s input to restore some or all of the recreation hoops, staff proposes that the City Council consider approval of retaining three of the six basketball hoops along the western side of Clark Field. If the City Council approves retaining three hoops, staff would implement the following measures to reduce risk exposure and clarify the limited recreational intent of the area:
 Restore three basketball hoops, two set at 9 feet and one at 8 feet, all oriented in the same direction to discourage full-court or organized game play and reduce the perception that the area functions as a regulation basketball court. One hoop was already installed on February 26, 2026 and the remaining two hoops would require minor modifications to the posts by City crews.
 Resurface the asphalt in the vicinity of the retained hoops as part of an upcoming slurry seal project (Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project 107), anticipated within approximately four months of this report, to address surface deterioration.  Install signage clarifying the informal and shared-use nature of the area, such as:
“Use at Your Own Risk,” “Not a Designated Court,” “Area Shared with Pedestrians”, “Yield to Pedestrians”, and/or “No Organized Games – Casual Play Only.” Signage was installed adjacent to one hoop on February 26, 2026; additional signage would be installed adjacent to the remaining two hoops.  Conduct and document regular inspections, corrective actions, and responses to complaints to demonstrate proactive maintenance, monitoring, and oversight.

If approved, retention of the three basketball hoops would constitute a City Council– approved policy determination reflecting a deliberative balancing of community recreational interests and risk considerations. Such formal action may help demonstrate that the City’s decision was a reasoned policy choice, rather than inadvertent neglect, should liability issues later arise.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
This approach seeks to preserve limited, casual recreational opportunities while implementing reasonable risk mitigation measures and documenting the City’s proactive oversight.

Fiscal Impact:

The modifications of the backboards and installation of associated signage will be completed by Public Works staff.

The resurfacing of the roadway adjacent to the three (3) hoops will be included as part of CIP 107 Slurry Seal Improvements, which is included in the current Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 budget. The cost for the required crack seal repair and slurry seal overlay will be bid as a separate items part of CIP 107 and is anticipated to cost approximately $11,000. No additional funding is required as part of the staff recommendation.

RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR REFORMING MENTAL HEALTHCARE WITHIN THE COUNTY’S HOMELESSNESS SERVICES SYSTEM MOTION
(Senior Management Analyst Sara Russo)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council ratify a letter of support (Attachment) sent on March 16, 2026 supporting Los Angeles County Supervisors Lindsey P. Horvath and Kathryn Barger’s motion, Reforming Mental Healthcare Within the County’s Homelessness Services System, at the March 17, 2026 Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Meeting.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding matters that would have an impact on the City. The proposal represents a step toward strengthening coordination between behavioral health services and homelessness response efforts throughout Los Angeles County.

Background:

On March 17, 2026, Supervisor Lindsey Horvath called for stronger coordination between the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services and Housing (HSH) to improve mental health services for people experiencing homelessness.

Los Angeles County has a significant number of unhoused individuals living with serious mental illness. According to the 2025 Point-in-Time Homeless Count, approximately 15,930 people experiencing homelessness have serious mental illness, with over 10,800 living unsheltered. The current behavioral health system is not fully integrated with the homelessness response system, creating barriers to care.

The motion aims to better align mental health services with the County’s homelessness response system, ensuring that individuals experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness receive timely and appropriate care.

Analysis:

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
The motion, Reforming Mental Healthcare Within the County’s Homelessness Services System, aims to better align mental health services with the County’s homelessness response system, ensuring that individuals experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness receive timely and appropriate care.

The major actions proposed in the motion include the following:

1. Strengthen coordination between departments
 Establish a dedicated DMH team to work directly with HSH on cases involving people experiencing homelessness with serious mental illness.  Conduct regular case review meetings to resolve barriers to care.

2. Improve service access
 Create clearer referral pathways from HSH to DMH services and housing programs.
 Explore presumptive eligibility for individuals suspected of having serious mental illness.
 Expand field-based care, ensuring services reach individuals on the streets, in shelters, and in interim housing.

3. Enhance collaboration and planning
 Increase data sharing between County departments and service providers.  Align planning for funding programs such as Prop 1, Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), and other behavioral health initiatives.
 Work with managed care plans to clarify responsibilities for behavioral health services for people experiencing homelessness.

4. Improve program effectiveness
 Strengthen oversight and performance monitoring of Full Service Partnership (FSP) providers to ensure services are delivered in the field.  Expand programs like the Interim Housing Outreach Program (IHOP).  Provide additional training for staff working with unhoused individuals.

5. Increase accountability and reporting
 Require DMH and HSH to report back to the Board within 90 days and biannually thereafter on implementation progress.

The motion seeks to create a more coordinated, field-based, and accountable system of care that better serves individuals experiencing homelessness and serious mental illness by integrating mental health services with the County’s homelessness response efforts.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Los Angeles, CA 90012
Re: Support for Reforming and Integrating Mental Healthcare Within the County’s Homeless Services System Motion
Dear Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors:

On behalf of the City of Hermosa Beach, I am writing to express strong support for the motion titled “Reforming and Integrating Mental Healthcare within the County’s Homeless Services System.” The proposal represents an important step toward strengthening coordination between behavioral health services and homelessness response efforts throughout Los Angeles County.

Across the region, local jurisdictions continue to experience the profound impacts of homelessness, particularly among individuals living with serious mental illness. The integration of mental health services with the broader homelessness response system is critical to improving outcomes for vulnerable residents and ensuring that services are delivered in a coordinated and effective manner. The motion’s emphasis on field-based engagement, cross-departmental collaboration, and improved data sharing reflects best practices that are necessary to address the complex needs of individuals experiencing homelessness.

We particularly appreciate the motion’s focus on enhancing collaboration between the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services and Housing. Aligning these systems will help ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness are connected to appropriate care, housing resources, and long-term support services. Strengthening referral pathways, expanding field-based services, and improving program accountability will help close gaps that currently prevent many individuals from accessing the care they need. We would ask that the motion include language that states the Department of Mental Health should also be coordinating with local jurisdictions, particularly those that case conference/care coordinate with us.

Additionally, the proposed efforts to expand multidisciplinary engagement teams, improve training for providers, and streamline coordination with managed care plans represent meaningful steps toward building a more responsive behavioral health system.

These initiatives will support local jurisdictions and community partners working on the front lines of the homelessness crisis.

1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity

Addressing homelessness requires a coordinated regional approach, and behavioral health services are a critical component of that effort. By strengthening collaboration across departments and aligning mental health services with the County’s homeless services system, this motion helps advance a more effective and compassionate response.

For these reasons, the City of Hermosa Beach respectfully urges the Board to adopt this motion and continue advancing policies that improve access to behavioral health care and housing stability for residents across Los Angeles County.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to addressing these complex challenges.

Sincerely,
Michael Detoy

ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 3.32 TITLED TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
(Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Waive full second reading and adopt by title only “An Ordinance amending Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 3.32.020 Definitions, 3.32.030 Tax Imposed, and 3.32.100 Appeal (Attachment); and

2. Direct the City Clerk to print and publish a summary ordinance in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days following adoption and post a copy on the City’s bulletin for 30 days.

Executive Summary:

At its March 10, 2026 meeting, City Council introduced for first reading an ordinance to update the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) section 3.32.

Background:

HBMC 3.32.020 provides the following definitions, in relevant part:
 Hotel means any structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof.
 Occupancy means the use or possession, or the right to the use or possession of any room or room or portion thereof, in any hotel for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes.
 Operator means the person who is the proprietor of the hotel, hostel, or any other permitted short-term rental, whether in the capacity of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, and includes companies that arrange for reservations online. Though the operator performs his functions through a managing agent of any type or character other than an employee, the managing agent shall also be determined an operator for the purposes of this chapter and shall have the same duties and liabilities as his principal. Compliance with the

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2
provisions of this chapter by either the principal or the managing agent shall, however, be considered to be compliance by both.
 Transient means:
o Any person as defined in this section who exercises, for any period of time, occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement; or
o Any individual who personally exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less.

HBMC 3.32.030 states:
 For occupancy of any hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or permitted short-term rental as defined, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of fourteen (14) percent of the rent or bill charged by the operator. Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the city which is extinguished only by payment to the operator of the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital, or other permitted short-term accommodation at the time the rent or bill is paid. If the rent or bill is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment.

The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient’s ceasing to occupy space in the hotel, motel, hostel, hospital or other permitted short-term accommodation. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator, the tax administrator may require that such tax shall be paid directly to the tax administrator. (Emphasis added.) Regarding TOT appeals, HBMC 3.32.100 allows any operator of a hotel who is aggrieved by the imposition of TOT may file an appeal to the Council through the City Manager’s office within a certain time period for an appeal hearing.

The Planning Commission voted unanimously during their January 20, 2026 meeting to adopt a resolution advising City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance, and to find the action statutorily exempt from CEQA.

Background:

In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, numerous bills that impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In late 2025, four new bills were enacted that further amend state ADU law. Additionally, on December 29, 2025 the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) sent the City of Hermosa Beach a letter indicating that the City’s ADU ordinance failed to comply with state ADU laws in various ways

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 6
(Attachment 2). The proposed ordinance would resolve the issues identified by HCD and bring the City’s ADU policies in compliance with state law as described below.

At its January 20, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission, which serves as the advisor to the City Council on all land-use matters, reviewed the related Zone Text Amendment and unanimously recommended City Council’s approval amending Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) related to Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in line with the staff recommendation, and in the interest of compliance with State law. At the March 10, 2026, meeting, City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation and adopted the draft ordinance as recommended.

Past Commission Action
Meeting Date Description
January 20, 2026
Planning Commission holds a public hearing and unanimously votes to approve a resolution to recommend that the City Council repeal and replace Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to Accessory and Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units.

March 10, 2026 City Council approved ZTA 25-XXXX repealing and replacing HBMC Chapter 17.21 pertaining to ADUs and JADUs
Assembly Bill (AB) 462 – Coastal Development Permits; Disaster-Affected Areas Existing law requires most ADUs proposed in the Coastal Zone to obtain a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to other local ADU permit requirements.

Historically, the CDP for an ADU was not subject to the state ADU law’s 60-day shot clock to approve or deny a complete ADU application. Additionally, local permitting decisions on a CDP for an ADU could be appealed to the California Coastal Commission if the underlying property was subject to the Coastal Commission’s appeals jurisdiction (as set forth in Public Resources Code 30603).

AB 462 alters the status quo on numerous fronts. Most notably, local agencies with a certified local coastal program (LCP) must now approve or deny a CDP application for an ADU within 60 days of receiving a complete application. The local agency’s review of the CDP application must also take place “concurrently with the process to approve or deny” any other permit required to approve the ADU (i.e., an ADU permit and building permit). (Gov. Code, § 66329(a).) AB 462 also eliminates the ability to appeal a CDP for an ADU to the Coastal Commission. If a local agency does not have a certified LCP, then it now must “immediately notify” the Coastal Commission when an ADU application is submitted.

Subject to limited exceptions, the Coastal Commission’s review of the CDP application is subject to the same 60-day shot clock that applies to local agencies with a certified LCP. (Id., at (b)(1)–(5).) The City does not have a fully certified LCP, so City staff now immediately notify the Coastal Commission when an ADU application is submitted.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 6
Beyond changes to CDP processing, AB 462 modifies the rules governing the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (CofO) for an ADU. Historically, state law has prohibited a local agency from issuing a CofO for an ADU before one is issued for the primary dwelling (i.e., the primary dwelling must have a CofO before the ADU.) AB 462 creates a narrow exception to this prohibition for detached ADUs when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the county on or after February 1, 2025; (2) the primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the state of emergency proclamation; and (3) the ADU has been issued construction permits and passed all required inspections. (Gov. Code, § 66328(b).) If these conditions are satisfied, the detached ADU can receive a CofO before the primary dwelling. In all other scenarios, the primary dwelling still needs a CofO before one can be issued for an ADU.

AB 462 was enacted as an urgency measure that took effect immediately when signed by the Governor (on October 10, 2025).

The following three bills were enacted as non-urgency measures and took effect on January 1, 2026.

AB 1154 – JADU Owner-Occupancy; Short-Term Rental
When a JADU is developed, existing state law requires a property owner to reside in the JADU or remaining portion of the single-family dwelling. AB 1154 narrows this requirement to now only apply when a JADU shares sanitation facilities (bathroom) with the single-family dwelling. If the JADU has its own bathroom, then the property owner does not have to reside on the property at all. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(b).) AB 1154 also expressly prohibits JADUs from being used as short-term rentals (i.e., rented for a term shorter than 30 days). (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(g).) The City’s ADU ordinance already included this prohibition, but it is now required by state law.

SB 9; SB 543 – ADU Ordinance Submittal to HCD; Approval Under existing law, local agencies are required to submit a copy of their ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days of adoption.

Last year’s SB 9 and SB 543 created a penalty for failing to do so by rendering null and void any local ordinance that is not submitted to HCD within 60 days of adoption. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66326(d); new Gov. Code, § 66333.5(d).) The bills further specify that a local ADU ordinance is null and void if HCD issues findings that the ordinance does not comply with state law and the local agency fails to respond to HCD within 30 days. (Id.)

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 6
SB 543 – ADU Size; Number of ADUs; Impact Fees; Application Timeline SB 543 makes numerous changes and clarifications to state ADU law, most notably as it pertains to how ADU and JADU size allowances are calculated.

ADU & JADU Size
Existing state law as well as the current Hermosa Beach ADU ordinance establishes that the maximum size of a JADU may not exceed 500 square feet. It also prohibits enforcement of certain development standards that would have the effect of preventing the development of an ADU that is at least 800 square feet pursuant to Government Code section 66314 through 66322.

SB 543 amends state ADU law to specify that the allowable square footage of an ADU or JADU refers to “interior livable space” whereas previously the basis of measurement was left undefined and subject to local interpretation. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(d), 66321(b)(2).)
Impact Fees
Existing law exempts ADUS that are 750 square feet or smaller from development impacts fees (DIFs).

SB 543 clarifies that DIFs may not be imposed on an ADU that has 750 or fewer square feet of interior livable space or on a JADU with 500 or fewer square feet of interior livable space.

The bill also exempts an ADU or JADU with fewer than 500 square feet of interior livable space from school impact fees. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66311.5.) Quantity of ADUs Created Under Government Code Section 66323 Existing state law creates four categories of ADUs that must be approved if they comply with the limited standards provided in Government Code section 66323(a)(1)–(4). These are:

1. a converted ADU and JADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing singlefamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(1));

2. a detached ADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(2));

3. converted ADUs created in an existing multifamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(3)); and

4. detached ADUs created on a lot with a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling.

For some time, there has been uncertainty as to whether ADUs created under Government Code section 66323 could be combined. While the City’s municipal code allows combinations, HCD initially took the position in its 2020 ADU Handbook that state law does not require local agencies to allow combinations. But for the last few years, HCD

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 6
has taken the opposite position: yes, combinations are permitted. (See HCD January 2025 ADU Handbook, at p.19 [“[Pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), local governments must allow units created pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) together or (3) and (4) together”].)
SB 543 codifies HCD’s most recent interpretation by amending Government Code section 66323 to specifically allow combinations. Thus, state law now requires local agencies to permit a lot with a multifamily dwelling to have a converted ADU or ADUs created under section 66323(a)(3) and detached ADUs created under section 66323(a)(4), and lot with a single family dwelling to have a converted ADU and a JADU created under section 66323(a)(1) and a detached ADU created under section 66323(a)(2).

ADU Permitting Process
Existing law has long required local agencies to approve or deny an ADU application within 60 days of receiving a complete application. However, state law was silent with respect to incompleteness determinations, subsequent resubmittals, and appealing local decisions on ADU applications.

SB 543 requires local agencies to now:

1. determine whether an ADU application is complete within 15 business days of submittal;

2. if the application is incomplete, within the same 15 days provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and how to address them;

3. review a resubmitted application for completeness within 15 business days;

4. provide the applicant with a written appeal process for any incompleteness determination or denial (to the Planning Commission or City Council, or both); and

5. provide a final written determination on the appeal within 60 business days of receiving the appeal). (See amended Gov. Code, §§ 66317 [ADUs], 66335 [JADUs].)
Discussion & Recommendation:

AB 462 took effect immediately when signed, but it technically does not require any change to a local ADU ordinance; the City just needs to follow the new rules for CDP processing and issuance of a CofO, if applicable. The remaining bills took effect on January 1, 2026, and for the City’s ADU ordinance to remain valid and enforceable, it must comply with the new changes in state law. Adopting the proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) ensures that the City’s ADU ordinance would remain in compliance with state law in the manner identified by the letter from the California Department of Housing and Community Development dated December 29, 2025 (Attachment 2). For these reasons, staff, in line with the Planning Commission’s recommendation, recommend that City Council conduct a public hearing to approve an ordinance repealing and replacing Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.

Environmental Determination:

Under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law.

Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA because it implements state ADU law.

Public Notification:

No legal ad is required for the March 24, 2026, meeting to consider the second reading of the ordinance. A legal ad was published in the Easy Reader, a newspaper of general circulation, and posted in three locations in advance of the March 10, 2026 City Council hearing.

17.21.040 Approval of ADUs and JADUs.

The following approvals apply to ADUs and JADUs created under this section:

A. Ministerial ADU and Building Permits Required. Every ADU and JADU requires an ADU permit and a building permit. The city will review and approve permit applications in accordance with subsection 17.21.040(C) below.

B. Processing Fee. The city may charge a fee to reimburse it for costs incurred in processing ADU permits, including the costs of adopting or amending the city’s ADU ordinance. The ADU-permit processing fee is determined by the city council by resolution.

C. Process and Timing.

1. Completeness.
a) Determination in 15 days. The city will determine whether an application to create or serve an ADU or JADU is complete and will provide written notice of the determination to the applicant within 15 business days after the city receives the application submittal. b) Incomplete items. If the city’s determination under subsection (C)(1)(a) above is that the application is incomplete, the city’s notice must list the incomplete items and describe how the application can be made complete.

c) Cure. After receiving a notice that the application is incomplete, the applicant may cure and address the items that were deemed by the city to be incomplete.
d) Subsequent submittals. If the applicant submits additional information to address incomplete items, within 15 business days of the subsequent submittal the city will determine in writing whether the additional information remedies all the incomplete items that the city identified in its original notice. The city may not require the application to include an item that was not included in the original notice.
e) Deemed complete. If the city does not make a timely determination as required by this subsection (C), the application or resubmitted application is deemed complete for the purposes of subsection (C)(3) below.
f) Appeal of incompleteness. An applicant may appeal the city’s determination that the application is incomplete by submitting a written appeal to the city clerk. The planning commission will review the written appeal and affirm or reverse the completeness determination and provide a final written determination to the applicant within 60 business days after receipt of the appeal.

2. No discretion or hearing. Ministerial permits for an ADU or JADU are considered and approved without discretionary review or a hearing.

3. Deadline to approve or deny ministerial approvals. The city must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the city receives a complete application. If the city has not approved or denied the complete application within 60 days, the application is deemed approved unless either:
a) The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay, or
b) When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.

4. Denial. If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Notice of the denial and

corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the 60-day time period established by subsection (C)(3) above.

5. Appeal of denial. An applicant may appeal the city’s denial of the application by submitting a written appeal to the city clerk. The planning commission will review the written appeal and affirm or reverse the denial and provide a final written determination to the applicant within 60 business days after receipt of the appeal.

6. Deadline to approve or deny CDP. Nothing in state ADU and JADU laws or this code supersedes or in any way alters or lessens the effect or application of the California Coastal Act of 1976, except that:
a) If a coastal development permit (CDP) is required for the ADU or JADU, a complete CDP application must be included for the ADU or JADU application to be complete; and
b) The CDP application must be approved or denied within 60 days of receiving the complete application.
c) If the city does not have a certified local coastal plan or program when the complete ADU or JADU application is received, the city will immediately notify the California Coastal Commission of the complete ADU or JADU application.

7. Concurrent review of demolition. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.

17.21.050 Classes of ADUs and JADUs.

A. Class 1: Statutorily Regulated. Class 1 ADUs and JADUs are approved under Government Code section 66323. If an ADU or JADU complies with each of the general requirements in section 17.21.060 below, it is allowed in each of the scenarios provided in this subsection (A). An ADU and JADU approved under subsection (A)(1) may be combined with an ADU approved under subsection (A)(2), and ADUs approved under subsection (A)(3) may be combined with ADUs approved under subsection (A)(4).

1. Converted on Lot with Single-Family: One ADU as described in this subsection (A)(1) and one JADU on a lot with a proposed or existing singlefamily dwelling on it, where the ADU or JADU:
a) Is either: within the space of a proposed single-family dwelling; within the existing space of an existing single-family dwelling; or (in the case of an ADU only) within the existing space of an accessory structure, plus up to 150 additional square feet if the expansion is limited to accommodating ingress and egress; and

b) Has exterior access that is independent of that for the single-family dwelling; and
c) Has side and rear setbacks sufficient for fire and safety, as dictated by applicable building and fire codes.
d) The JADU complies with the requirements of Government Code sections 66333 through 66339.

2. Limited Detached on Lot with Single-Family: One detached, newconstruction ADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling, if the detached ADU satisfies each of the following limitations:
a) The side- and rear-yard setbacks are at least four feet. b) The total floor area is 800 square feet of livable space or smaller. c) The peak height above grade does not exceed the applicable height limit in section 17.21.060 below.

3. Converted on Lot with Multifamily: One or more ADUs within portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including but not limited to storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages, if each converted ADU complies with state building standards for dwellings. Under this subsection (A)(3), at least one converted ADU is allowed within an existing multifamily dwelling, up to a quantity equal to 25 percent of the existing multifamily dwelling units.

4. Limited Detached on Lot with Multifamily: No more than two detached ADUs on a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, if each detached ADU satisfies all of the following:
a) The side- and rear-yard setbacks are at least four feet. If the existing multifamily dwelling has a rear or side yard setback of less than four feet, the city will not require any modification to the multifamily dwelling as a condition of approving the ADU.
b) The peak height above grade does not exceed the applicable height limit provided in subsection 17.21.060(B) below.
c) If the lot has an existing multifamily dwelling, the quantity of detached ADUs does not exceed the number of primary dwelling units on the lot.

B. Class 2: Locally Regulated. Class 2 ADUs are approved under Government Code sections 66314–66322. Except for Class 1 ADUs approved under subsection (A) above, all ADUs are subject to the standards set forth in sections 17.21.060 and 17.21.070 below.

17.21.060 General ADU and JADU Requirements and Development Standards.

The following requirements apply to all Class 1 and Class 2 ADUs and JADUs:

A. Zoning.

1. A Class 1 ADU approved under subsection 17.21.050(A) above may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone.

2. A Class 2 ADU approved under subsection 17.21.050(B) above may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use.

3. In accordance with Government Code section 66333(a), a JADU may only be created on a lot zoned for single-family residences.

B. Height.

1. Except as otherwise provided by subsections (B)(2) and (B)(3) below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height.

2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.

3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.

4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection (B)(4) may not exceed two stories.

5. For purposes of this subsection (B), height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.

C. Fire Sprinklers.

1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU or JADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.

2. The construction of an ADU or JADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.

D. Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days.

This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.

E. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).

F. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewater-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.

G. Owner Occupancy.

1. ADUs. ADUs are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.

2. JADUs.
a) Generally. As required by state law, JADUs are generally subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
b) Exceptions. The owner-occupancy requirement in this subsection (G)(2) does not apply in either of the following situations:
(I) The JADU has separate sanitation facilities (i.e., does not share sanitation facilities with the existing primary dwelling unit structure).
(II) The property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.

H. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the community development director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:

1. The JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.

2. The JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.

3. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.

4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.

5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.

I. Building & Safety.

1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (I)(2) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.

2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this section prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.

J. Certificate of Occupancy Timing.

1. Generally. No certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU may be issued before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the primary dwelling unit.

2. Limited Exception for State-declared Emergencies. Notwithstanding subsection (J)(1) above, a certificate of occupancy for an ADU may be issued

before a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling if each of the following requirements are met:
a) The county is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the California Governor on or after February 1, 2025. b) The primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the Governor’s state of emergency proclamation. c) The ADU has been issued construction permits and has passed all required inspections.
d) The ADU is not attached to the primary dwelling.

17.21.070 Specific ADU Requirements.

The following requirements apply only to Class 2 ADUs approved under subsection

17.21.050(B) above. This section does not apply to Class 1 ADUs or JADUs approved under subsection 17.21.050(A) above.

A. Maximum Size.

1. The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this section is 850 square feet of interior livable space for a studio or one-bedroom unit and 1,000 square feet of interior livable space for a unit with two or more bedrooms.

2. An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling.

3. Application of other development standards in this section 17.21.070, such as FAR, minimum lot size, or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in subsection (A)(2) above or of an FAR, front setback, minimum lot size, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU have less than 800 square feet of interior livable space.

B. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). No ADU subject to this section may cause the total FAR of the lot to exceed 50 percent, subject to subsection (A)(3) above.

C. Setbacks.

1. ADUs that are subject to this section must conform to 4-foot side and rear setbacks. ADUs that are subject to this section must conform to 25-foot front setbacks, subject to subsection (A)(3) above.

2. No setback is required for an ADU that is subject to this section if the ADU is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure.

D. Lot Coverage. No ADU subject to this section may cause the total lot coverage of the lot to exceed whatever applicable standard exists based on the zone in which it is was located subject to subsection (A)(3) above.

E. Minimum Open Space. Unless restricted pursuant to other state or local law, the property in which the ADU is located upon shall comply with the open space requirements of the base zone in which it is located subject to subsection (A)(3) above.

F. Passageway. No passageway, as defined by section 17.21.030 above, is required for an ADU.

G. Parking.

1. Generally. One off-street parking space is required for each ADU or bedroom, whichever is less. The parking space may be provided in setback areas or as tandem parking, as defined by section 17.21.030 above.

2. Exceptions. No parking under subsection (G)(1) is required in the following situations:
a) The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit, as defined in section 17.21.030 above.
b) The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
c) The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure.
d) When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the ADU.
e) When there is an established car share vehicle stop located within one block of the ADU.
f) When the permit application to create an ADU is submitted with an application to create a new single-family or new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the lot satisfies any other criteria listed in subsections (G)(2)(c) through (e) above.

3. No Replacement. When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, those off-street parking spaces are not required to be replaced.

H. Architectural Requirements.

1. The materials and colors of the exterior walls, roof, and windows and doors must be the same as those of the primary dwelling.

2. The roof slope must match that of the dominant roof slope of the primary dwelling. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared by the largest portion of the roof.

3. The exterior lighting must be limited to down-lights or as otherwise required by the building or fire code.

4. The ADU must have an independent exterior entrance, apart from that of the primary dwelling.

5. The interior horizontal dimensions of an ADU must be at least 10 feet wide in every direction, with a minimum interior wall height of seven feet.

6. No window or door of the ADU may have a direct line of sight to an adjoining residential property. Each window and door must either be located where there is no direct line of sight or screened using fencing, landscaping, or privacy glass to prevent a direct line of sight.

7. All windows and doors in an ADU less than 30 feet from a property line that is not a public right-of-way line must either be (for windows) clerestory with the bottom of the glass at least six feet above the finished floor, or (for windows and for doors) utilize frosted or obscure glass.

8. Architectural requirements defined in this subsection shall not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323.

I. Landscape Requirements. Evergreen landscape screening must be planted and maintained between the ADU and adjacent parcels as follows:

1. At least one 15-gallon size plant must be provided for every five linear feet of exterior ADU wall. Alternatively, at least one 24” box size plant must be provided for every ten linear feet of exterior ADU wall.

2. Plant specimens must be at least six feet tall when installed. As an alternative, a solid fence of at least six feet in height may be installed.

3. All landscaping must be drought-tolerant.

4. All landscaping must be from the city’s approved plant list.

5. Landscape requirements defined in this subsection shall not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323.

J. Historical Protections. An ADU that is on or within 600 feet of real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources must be located so as to not be visible from any public right-of-way.

K. Allowed Stories. No ADU subject to this section may have more than one story, except that an ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may have the stories allowed under subsection 17.21.060(B) of this section.

17.21.080 Fees.

The following requirements apply to all Class 1 ADUs and JADUs and Class 2 ADUs that are approved under section 17.21.060 above.

A. Impact Fees.

1. No impact fee is required for a JADU or for an ADU that has less than 750 square feet of interior livable space. For purposes of this section, “impact fee” means a “fee” under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000(b)) and a fee under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477). “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service.

2. A JADU or ADU with less than 500 square feet of interior livable space does not increase assessable space by 500 square feet for purposes of Education Code section 17620(a)(1)(C), and is therefore not subject to school fees under Education Code section 17620.

3. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has 750 square feet or more of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU, divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.)
B. Utility Fees.

1. If an ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required.

2. Except as described in subsection (B)(1), JADUs and converted ADUs on a single-family lot that are created under subsection 17.21.050(A)(1) above are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the JADU or ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, a direct utility connection is required for separate conveyance of an ADU when separate conveyance is allowed under this code.

3. Except as described in subsection (B)(1), all ADUs that are not covered by subsection (B)(2) require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility for any utility that is provided by the city. All utilities that are not provided by the city are subject to the connection and fee requirements of the utility provider.
a) The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. b) The portion of the fee or charge that is charged by the city may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service.

17.21.090 Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.

A. Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.

B. Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before 2020.

1. Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:
a) The ADU or JADU violates applicable building standards, or b) The ADU or JADU does not comply with state ADU or JADU law or this ADU ordinance, Chapter 17.21.

2. Exceptions:
a) Notwithstanding subsection (B)(1) above, the city may deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if the city makes a finding that correcting a violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.
b) Subsection (B)(2)(a) above does not apply to a building that is deemed to be substandard in accordance with California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.

17.21.100 Nonconforming ADUs and Discretionary Approval.

Any proposed ADU or JADU that would otherwise be allowed under this Chapter but that does not conform to the objective design or development standards set forth in sections 17.21.010 through 17.21.090 of this section may be allowed by the city with a conditional use permit, in accordance with the other provisions of this title.

City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Dr.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Alexis Oropeza:

RE: Review of Hermosa Beach’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance under State ADU Law (Gov. Code, §§ 66310 - 66342)
Thank you for submitting the City of Hermosa Beach (City) ADU Ordinance No. 1484 (Ordinance), adopted January 28, 2025, to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD has reviewed the Ordinance and submits these written findings pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (a). HCD finds that the Ordinance fails to comply with State ADU Laws in the manner noted below. Pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (b)(1), the City has up to 30 days to respond to these findings. Accordingly, the City must provide a written response to these findings no later than January 30, 2026 with a plan to either amend the current ordinance or adopt a resolution with findings.1 Responses should be submitted formally on agency letterhead.

The Ordinance addresses many statutory requirements; however, HCD finds that the Ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law as follows:

1. Please note, there is recent legislation that amended State ADU Law.

Language relevant to these changes should be incorporated into the Ordinance as it is updated. The bills referenced below are relevant to State ADU Law:
• Assembly Bill (AB) 130 – Effective June 30, 2025
• AB 462 – Effective October 10, 2025
• AB 1154 – Effective January 1, 2026
• Senate Bill (SB) 9 – Effective January 1, 2026
• SB 543 – Effective January 1, 2026
1 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(B).

Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager

2. Section 17.21.030 (A)(1) – Unit Allowances – The Ordinance allows “One ADU as described in this subsection (A) (1) and one JADU (or a second ADU in lieu of the JADU) on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling on it, where the ADU or JADU (or a second ADU in lieu of the JADU)…” Thus, the City limits ADU and JADU development to no more than two units on a lot with a single-family primary dwelling.

However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), states, “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following: (1) One accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory dwelling unit per lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling…(A) The accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is within the proposed space of a single-family dwelling or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure.” Paragraph (2) permits “[o]ne detached, new construction, accessory dwelling unit that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks.” The use of the term “any combination” followed by an enumeration of ADU types permitted under Government Code section 66323 means that any of these ADU types can be combined on a lot zoned for single-family dwellings.

This permits a homeowner, who meets specified requirements, to create one converted ADU; one detached, new construction ADU; and one junior accessory dwelling (JADU). Thus, if the local agency approves an ADU that is created from existing (or proposed) space, and the owner subsequently applies for a detached ADU (or vice versa) that meets the size and setbacks pursuant to the subdivision, the local agency cannot deny the application, nor deny a permit for a JADU under this section.

Additionally, these allowances reflect only the units and formats described in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a). Units created subject to Government Code section 66314 must also be reflected in the Ordinance to enable maximum unit allowances.

In summary, the City must amend the Ordinance to specifically include units subject to Government Code section 66314 as well as all combinations required by section 66323.

3. Section 17.21.030 (F)(2) – JADU Owner Occupancy – The Ordinance states, “As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person's legal domicile and permanent residence.” However, Government Code section 66333, subdivision (b) was changed as of January 1, 2026 to require owner occupancy only “…If the junior accessory dwelling unit has shared sanitation facilities with the existing structure.” The City must amend the Ordinance to match current State JADU Law.

Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager

4. Section 17.21.030 (G) – Deed Restriction – The Ordinance requires a deed restriction for ADUs. However, a deed restriction cannot be imposed on an ADU. Government Code section 66315 states, “No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer.” Although deed restrictions are required for JADUs, they are prohibited for ADUs2. The City must amend the Ordinance to remove the deed requirement for an ADU.

5. Section 17.21.050 (A)(3) – Size Exceptions – The Ordinance states, “Application of other development standards in this section or any other section, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in this section or other section or front setback, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU to be less than 800 square feet.” This is an incomplete recreation of the exceptions required in Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(3); the City must add floor area ratio and minimum lot size as two other conditions that may not restrict a unit to be below 800 square feet to come into consistency with State ADU Law.

6. Section 17.21.050 (G) – Architectural Requirements – The Ordinance lists several architectural requirements to apply to ADUs; however, such requirements may not preclude any unit subject to Government Code section 66323. The City must note the exception.

The City has two options in response to this letter.3 The City can either 1) amend the Ordinance to comply with State ADU Law4 or 2) adopt the Ordinance without changes and include findings in its resolution accompanying the Ordinance that explain the reasons the City believes that the Ordinance complies with State ADU Law despite HCD’s findings.5 If the City fails to take either course of action, or if HCD finds that the newly adopted Ordinance remains out of compliance with State ADU Law despite the City ‘s findings and explanations, HCD must notify the City and may notify the California Office of the Attorney General that the City is in violation of State ADU Law.6 2 Local jurisdictions should eliminate all ADU and JADU deed restrictions unless expressly authorized by statute. Deed restrictions unnecessarily “lock in” current state and local requirements, even as the Legislature continues to update ADU and JADU statutes.
3 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (c)(1).
4 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(A).
5 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(2)(B).
6 Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (c)(1).

Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager

HCD appreciates the City‘s efforts in the preparation and adoption of the Ordinance and welcomes the opportunity to assist the City in fully complying with State ADU Law.

Please feel free to contact Mike VanGorder at [email protected] if you have any questions or wish to discuss any of HCD’s findings.

Sincerely,

Staff Report No. 26-CDD-037
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH IK CONSULTING, LLC

TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE ACCELA CIVIC PLATFORM

SOFTWARE
(Community Development Director Alison Becker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the proposed fourth amendment to an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC to provide ongoing technical assistance with the Accela Civic platform to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $23,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,725 (Attachment 1);

2. Appropriate $23,000 from Records Technology Fees reserved in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the fourth amendment; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest the attached fourth amendment (or similar in substance), subject to modification and approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The Community Development Department utilizes the technical assistance of a third-party firm to support the Accela Civic Platform. On May 13, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with IK Consulting LLC to provide configuration service needed to support implementation of the new permitting software (Attachment 2). The City has processed three amendments to the agreement to extend the expiration date resulting in an amended expiration date of June 30, 2026 (Attachments 3, 4, and 5).

In order to continue to configure the digital permitting platform to meet operational needs, staff recommends approval of the fourth amendment to an agreement with IK Consulting LLC. The proposed fourth amendment would increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $23,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,725. The existing contract with IK Consulting is set to expire in June 2026.

Background:

The Accela Civic Platform is a digital permitting system designed to streamline the permitting process. Since 2021, the City has contracted with IK Consulting, LLC for services related to configuring and improving the Accela Civic Platform. IK Consulting,

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
LLC specializes in configuration for the Accela Civic Platform Software and assists many public agencies throughout the country. Like many smaller jurisdictions, the City does not have the personnel to perform the services required to manage and configure a digital permitting platform.

Discussion:

To continue improving the City’s permitting software, which serves residents, businesses, and the development community, the City must ensure that sufficient technology expertise is available. The services provided by IK Consulting, LLC ensure the successful configuration of the Accela Civic Platform Software. IK Consulting, LLC’s services would continue to include the design, development, data conversion, reporting, training, system integrations, ongoing support, and administration of the permitting software.

Professional services to provide technical assistance with the Accela Civic Platform is an ongoing need and IK Consulting, LLC has demonstrated the technical expertise, available staffing, and competitive pricing to continue to assist the City.

The proposed increase to the not-to-exceed limit would provide the necessary resources to continue the ongoing configuration of the Accela Civic Platform. As the effort is at a crucial point in development, additional funding is needed to avoid halting the project because the last funding allocation has been exhausted.

Staff requests the proposed fourth amendment to an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $23,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,725. At the current service utilization rate, the requested contract augmentation would allow the department to utilize IK Consulting, LLC’s professional services for the remaining term of the contract, which would expire on June 30, 2026.

Options for Council Consideration:

Option 1: Approve staff’s recommended action and increase contract funding for IK Consulting, LLC in support of the Accela Civic Platform development, or Option 2: Do not approve staff’s recommended action and decline additional funding for the Accela Civic Platform.

Fiscal Impact:

If approved, the proposed fourth amendment to this agreement would increase the notto-exceed limit for IK Consulting, LLC by $23,000 for a revised total of $82,725 for the remainder of the extended contract term ending June 30, 2026.

The Department has available Records Technology Fees reserved in the Equipment Replacement Fund to fund the agreement amendment.
