Introduction
City of Hermosa Beach True North Research, Inc. © 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
I NTRODUCTION
Located in coastal Los Angeles County, the City of Hermosa Beach is currently home to an estimated 19,063 residents.1 Incorporated in 1907 and operating as a general law city under a Council-Manager form of government, the City’s team of full-time and part-time employees provides a full suite of services through a variety of departments and divisions, including Administrative Services, City Attorney, City Clerk, City Manager, Community Development, Finance, Human Resources, Parks & Recreation, Police, Public Works, and Fire and EMS.2 As Hermosa Beach has grown, so too have the demands placed upon its facilities, infrastructure, and services. Unfortunately, the City’s revenue streams have not kept pace with the growing demands and escalating costs, leading to shortfalls in the funding required to adequately address its various infrastructure systems—including streets and roads, sewer and storm drains, parks, and community facilities—as well as municipal services. In total, the City has an estimated $220 million in needed street and infrastructure projects for which it does not have a funding source, as well as projected structural deficits in the revenues needed to sustain city services at their current levels.
MOTIVATION FOR RESEARCH The primary purpose of this study was to produce an unbiased, statistically reliable evaluation of voters' interest in supporting a local sales tax measure to fund city streets, infrastructure, public safety, and other general municipal services.
Additionally, should the City decide to move forward with a measure, the survey data can guide how best to structure the measure so it is consistent with the community's priorities and expressed needs. Specifically, the study was designed to:
• Gauge current, baseline support for enacting a local sales tax to ensure adequate funding for streets, infrastructure, public safety, and general municipal services; • Identify the types of services voters are most interested in funding, should the measure pass;
• Expose voters to arguments in favor of—and against—the proposed tax measure to gauge how information affects support for the measure; and
• Estimate support for the measure once voters are presented with the types of information they will likely be exposed to during an election cycle.
It is important to recognize that voters’ opinions about tax measures are often fluid, particularly when they begin with limited information. The way voters think and feel about a measure today may shift as they are exposed to additional details in the months leading up to election day.
Accordingly, to accurately assess the feasibility of establishing a sales tax increase to fund municipal services, it was important that in addition to measuring current opinions about the measure (Question 5), the survey expose respondents to the types of information voters are likely to encounter during an election cycle, including arguments in favor of (Question 8) and opposed to (Question 10) the measure, and gauge how this type of information ultimately impacts their voting decision (Questions 9 & 11).

K EY F INDINGS
As noted in the Introduction, this study was designed to provide the City of Hermosa Beach with a statistically reliable understanding of voters’ interest in establishing a local sales tax to fund general city services. Whereas subsequent sections of this report are devoted to conveying the detailed results of the survey, in this section we attempt to ‘see the forest through the trees’ and note how the collective results of the survey answer some of the key questions that motivated the research. The following conclusions are based on True North’s interpretations of the survey results and the firm’s collective experience conducting revenue measure studies for public agencies throughout the State.
Is it feasible to place a
local sales tax measure
on the November 2026
ballot?
Hermosa Beach voters have a high opinion of the quality of life in the community, and they value the services they receive from the City. These sentiments translate into sufficient natural support (56%) for establishing a one percent sales tax to fund city services, such as paving streets and fixing potholes, repairing aging infrastructure, keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained, fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response, and police and crime prevention.
The results of this baseline survey indicate that a local sales tax measure is likely feasible for the November 2026 ballot provided that it focuses on the projects and services that voters identify as their priorities and is accompanied by robust community/opinion leader engagement, education, and communication (more on this below).
Having stated that a sales tax measure appears feasible, it is important to note that the measure’s prospects will be shaped by external factors (not within the City’s or an independent campaign’s control) and that a recommendation to place the measure on the November 2026 ballot comes with several qualifications and conditions. Indeed, although the results are promising, all revenue measures must overcome challenges prior to being successful. The proposed measure is no exception. The following paragraphs discuss some of the challenges and the next steps that True North recommends.
Which services do voters view as priorities?A general tax is “any tax imposed for general governmental purposes”3 and is distinguished from a special tax in that the funds raised by a general tax are not earmarked for any specific purpose(s). Thus, a general tax provides a municipality with a great deal of flexibility with respect to what is funded by the measure on a year-to-year basis.
Although the Hermosa Beach City Council would have the discretion to decide how to spend the revenues, the survey results indicate that voters are primarily interested in using the proceeds to fund public works and

Key Findings
City of Hermosa Beach True North Research, Inc. © 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 public safety, including keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained (91% strongly or somewhat favor), paving streets and fixing potholes (89%), maintaining city landscaping and street trees (85%), repairing or replacing aging infrastructure (84%), repairing and maintaining the sewer and stormdrain system (83%), and providing quick responses to 9-1-1 emergencies (82%). That said, it is worth noting that every potential use of sales tax proceeds tested was favored by at least two-thirds of voters surveyed.
How might a public
information campaign
affect support for the
proposed measure?
As noted in the body of this report, individuals’ opinions about revenue measures are often not rigid, especially when the amount of information presented to the public on a measure has been limited. Thus, in addition to measuring current support for the measure, one of the goals of this study was to explore how the introduction of additional information about the measure may affect voters’ opinions about the proposal.
It is clear from the survey results that some voters’ opinions about the proposed measure are somewhat sensitive to the nature—and amount— of information that they have about the measure. Information about the specific services that could be funded by the sales tax, as well as arguments in favor of the measure, were found by many voters to be compelling reasons to support the measure—boosting support to 62% at the Interim Ballot Test. However, voters also exhibited sensitivity to opposition arguments, which effectively cooled support for the one percent sales tax measure down to 55% at the Final Ballot Test. There is also a risk that some voters could be swayed by hyper-partisan campaigning during the 2026 election cycle. Accordingly, one of the keys to building and sustaining support for the measure will be the presence of an effective, well-organized public outreach effort, as well as an independent campaign that focuses on the need for the measure as well as the many benefits that it will bring.
How might changes to
the economic or political climate alter support
for the measure?
A survey is a snapshot in time—which means the results of this study and the conclusions noted above must be viewed in light of the current economic and political climates. On the one hand, this should provide some reassurances to the reader that the proposed sales tax measure is likely feasible for 2026. Even in a national environment marred by economic uncertainty, political instability, concerns about tariffs and inflation, rising cost-of-living pressures, and broader skepticism about government spending, 56% of voters were supportive of the proposed measure on the natural.
On the other hand, the months leading up to the November 2026 election are likely to be punctuated with significant events on the economic and political fronts, both domestically and internationally. Exactly how these events unfold and may shape voters’ opinions remains to be seen.
Should the economy and/or political climate improve, support for the
Key Findings

Conversely, negative economic and/or political developments (including escalation of the war in Iran, sustained high fuel prices, local opposition, and devolving into a hyper-partisan environment), skewed voter turnout, and/or competing measures could dampen support for the measure below what was recorded in this study.

The opening section of the survey was designed to gauge voters’ opinions regarding the quality of life in Hermosa Beach, their ideas for how it can be improved, as well as their assessment of the City’s performance in providing municipal services.
QUALITY OF LIFE At the outset of the interview, voters were asked to rate the quality of life in the City of Hermosa Beach using a five-point scale of excellent, good, fair, poor, or very poor.
As shown in Figure 1 below, more than nine-in-ten voters surveyed shared favorable opinions of the quality of life in Hermosa Beach, with 49% reporting it is excellent and 45% stating it is good.
Approximately 5% of voters surveyed rated the quality of life in the city as fair, whereas less than 1% used poor or very poor to describe the quality of life in Hermosa Beach.
Question 2 How would you rate the overall quality of life in Hermosa Beach? Would you say it is excellent, good, fair, poor or very poor? FIGURE 1 QUALITY OF LIFE Figures 2 and 3 show how ratings of the quality
of life in the City of Hermosa Beach varied by
length of residence, presence of a child in the
household, homeownership status, age of the
respondent, and gender. Although ratings varied
slightly across subgroups, the most striking pattern in the figures is the consistency of opinion, as more than nine-in-ten respondents in every
subgroup rated the quality of life in the city as
excellent or good.

CHANGES TO IMPROVE HERMOSA BEACH The next question in this series asked voters to indicate the one thing that city government could change to make Hermosa Beach a better place to live, now and in the future. Question 3 was posed in an open-ended manner, allowing respondents to mention any aspect or attribute that came to mind without being prompted by or restricted to a particular list of options. True North later reviewed the verbatim responses and grouped them into the categories shown in Figure 4 on the next page.
Among the specific changes desired, addressing parking issues (11%) and E-bike issues (11%) were the most common, followed by cleaning up/beautifying the city (7%), addressing homeless issues (6%), limiting growth and development (5%), and supporting local businesses (5%). An additional 15% of respondents could not think of a specific change they would like to see or stated flatly that no changes are needed—everything is fine.

FIGURE 4 CHANGES TO IMPROVE CITY OVERALL PERFORMANCE RATING The final question in this series asked respondents to indicate if, overall, they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the job the City of Hermosa Beach is doing to provide city services. Because this question does not reference a specific program, facility, or service and requested that the respondent consider the City’s performance in general, the findings of this question may be regarded as an overall performance rating for the City.
As shown in Figure 5 on the next page, approximately eight-in-ten voters surveyed indicated that they were satisfied with the City of Hermosa Beach’s efforts to provide municipal services, with 31% saying they were very satisfied and 48% somewhat satisfied. Sixteen percent (16%) reported that they were dissatisfied with the City’s overall performance, whereas 5% were unsure or unwilling to state their opinion.
For the interested reader, figures 6 and 7 display how the percentage of respondents satisfied with the City’s overall performance varied across demographic subgroups. When compared to their respective counterparts, newer residents (less than 5 years), younger residents (under 30), and those who rated the overall quality of life in the city as excellent or good were the most likely to report being satisfied with the City’s overall performance in providing services.

I NITIAL B ALLOT T EST
The primary research objective of this survey was to estimate voters’ support for establishing a one percent sales tax to provide funding for city services in Hermosa Beach, such as paving streets and fixing potholes, repairing aging infrastructure, keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained, fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response, and police and crime prevention. To this end, Question 5 was designed to take an early assessment of voters’ support for the proposed measure.
The motivation for placing Question 5 near the front of the survey is twofold. First, voter support for a measure can often depend on the amount of information they have about a measure. At this point in the survey, the respondent has not been provided information about the proposed measure beyond what is presented in the ballot language. This situation is analogous to a voter casting a ballot with limited knowledge about the measure, such as what might occur in the absence of an effective campaign. Question 5, also known as the Initial Ballot Test, is thus a good measure of voter support for the proposed measure as it is today, on the natural. Because the Initial Ballot Test provides a gauge of natural support for the measure, it also serves a second purpose as a useful baseline from which to judge the impact of various information items conveyed later in the survey on voter support for the measure.
Question 5 Later this year, voters in Hermosa Beach may be asked to vote on a local ballot measure. Let me read you a summary of the measure. To provide funding for city services in Hermosa Beach, such as paving streets and fixing potholes; repairing aging infrastructure; keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained; fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response; police and crime prevention; shall City of Hermosa Beach's ordinance establishing a 1% sales tax be adopted, providing approximately 4 million dollars annually for general city services until ended by voters, with independent audits, citizen oversight, and all money locally controlled? If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on this measure?
FIGURE 8 INITIAL BALLOT TEST
Figure 8 presents the results of the Initial
Ballot Test among all respondents. Overall,
56% of likely November 2026 voters surveyed indicated that they would support the proposed one percent sales tax, whereas
35% stated that they would oppose the measure and approximately 10% were unsure or unwilling to share their vote choice. For general taxes in California, the level of support recorded at the Initial Ballot Test is approximately six percentage points above the simple majority (50%+1) required for passage.

Among the reasons offered for not supporting the measure, a perception that city funds have been/will be mismanaged or misspent was the most common (32%), followed by the belief that taxes are already too high (28%), a desire for more information about the measure (20%), and concerns about the economy, inflation, and cost of living (15%).

P ROJECTS & S ERVICES
The ballot language presented in Question 5 indicated that the proposed sales tax measure would be used to provide funding for Hermosa Beach city services, such as paving streets and fixing potholes, repairing aging infrastructure, keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained, fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response, and police and crime prevention. The purpose of Question 7 was to provide respondents with a full range of projects and services that may be funded by the measure, and to identify which of these projects voters most favored funding with sales tax proceeds.
After reading each project or service that may be funded by the measure, respondents were asked if they would favor or oppose spending some of the money on that particular item assuming that the measure passes. Descriptions of the projects tested, as well as voters’ responses, are shown in Figure 10 below.4
Question 7 The measure we've been discussing will provide funding for a variety of services in your community. If the measure passes, would you favor or oppose using some of the money to:
_____, or do you not have an opinion?
FIGURE 10 PROJECTS & SERVICES
All projects and services tested were popular with Hermosa Beach voters, with more than twothirds of respondents indicating they would favor spending measure proceeds on each of the 12 items tested. That said, the services that resonated with the largest percentage of respondents keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained (91% strongly or somewhat favor), paving streets and fixing potholes (89%), maintaining city landscap4.

SERVICE RATINGS BY INITIAL SUPPORT Table 2 presents the top five services (based on the percentage of respondents who strongly favor each) by position at the Initial Ballot Test.
Not surprisingly, individuals who initially opposed the measure were generally less likely to favor spending money on a given service when compared with supporters. Nevertheless, initial supporters, opponents, and the undecided did agree on three of the top five priorities for funding.

P OSITIVE A RGUMENTS
If the City chooses to place a measure on an upcoming ballot, voters will be exposed to various arguments about the measure in the ensuing months. Proponents of the measure will present arguments to try to persuade voters to support a measure, just as opponents may present arguments to achieve the opposite goal. For this study to be a reliable gauge of voter support for the proposed sales tax measure, it is important that the survey simulate the type of discussion and debate that will occur prior to the vote taking place and identify how this information ultimately shapes voters’ opinions about the measure.
The objective of Question 8 was thus to present respondents with arguments in favor of the proposed measure and identify whether they felt the arguments were convincing reasons to support it. Arguments in opposition to the measure were also presented and are discussed later in this report (see Negative Arguments on page 21). Within each series, specific arguments were administered in random order to avoid a systematic position bias.
Question 8 What I'd like to do now is tell you what some people are saying about the measure we've been discussing. Supporters of the measure say: _____. Do you think this is a very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not at all convincing reason to SUPPORT the measure? FIGURE 11 POSITIVE ARGUMENTS

The arguments are sorted from most convincing to least convincing based on the percentage of respondents who indicated that the argument was either a ‘very convincing’ or ‘somewhat convincing’ reason to support the measure. Using this methodology, the most compelling positive arguments were: All money raised by the measure will stay local to fund essential services and facilities here in Hermosa Beach. By law, it can't be taken away by the State or the County (75% very or somewhat convincing), By keeping our city safe, clean and well-maintained, this measure will help protect our quality of life and keep Hermosa Beach a special place to live (74%), and The City maintains 47 miles of streets, 70 miles of sidewalks, and 112 acres of beaches, parks and playfields.

TOP POSITIVE ARGUMENTS BY INITIAL SUPPORT Table 3 on the next page lists the top five most convincing positive arguments (based on the percentage of respondents who cited it as very convincing) according to respondents’ vote choice at the Initial Ballot Test. The most striking pattern in the table is that the positive arguments resonated with a much higher percentage of voters who were initially inclined to support the measure when compared to voters who initially opposed the measure or were unsure. Nevertheless, three specific arguments were ranked among the top five most compelling by supporters, opponents, and the undecided.

After exposing respondents to projects and services that could be funded by the measure as well as the types of positive arguments voters may encounter during an election cycle, the survey again presented respondents with the ballot language used previously to gauge how support for the proposed sales tax measure may have changed. As shown in Figure 12, overall support among likely November 2026 voters increased to 62%, with 29% of voters indicating that they would definitely vote yes on the measure. Approximately 30% of respondents opposed the measure at this point in the survey, and an additional 9% were unsure or unwilling to state their vote choice.
Question 9 Sometimes people change their mind about a measure once they have more information about it. Now that you have heard a bit more about the measure, let me read you a summary of it again. To provide funding for city services in Hermosa Beach, such as paving streets and fixing potholes; repairing aging infrastructure; keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained; fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response; police and crime prevention; shall City of Hermosa Beach's ordinance establishing a 1% sales tax be adopted, providing approximately 4 million dollars annually for general city services until ended by voters, with independent audits, citizen oversight, and all money locally controlled? If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on this measure? FIGURE 12 INTERIM BALLOT TEST
SUPPORT BY SUBGROUPS Table 4 on the next page shows how support for the measure at this point in the survey varied by key voter subgroups, as well as the percentage change in subgroup support when compared with the Initial Ballot Test. Positive differences appear in green, whereas negative differences appear in red. Support for the proposed sales tax measure increased or decreased by moderate amounts (five percentage points or more) between the Initial and Interim Ballot Tests for many subgroups, with the largest net changes in support exhibited by those who rated the City’s fiscal management as fair (+10%), voters under the age of 30 (+10%), those who have resided in Hermosa Beach less than five years (+9%), and voters age 40 to 49 (+8%).

Whereas Question 8 presented respondents with arguments in favor of the measure, Question 10 presented respondents with arguments designed to elicit opposition to the measure. In the case of Question 10, however, respondents were asked if they felt that the argument was a very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not at all convincing reason to oppose the measure. The arguments tested, as well as voters’ opinions about the arguments, are presented in Figure 13.
Question 10 Next, let me tell you what opponents of the measure are saying. Opponents of the measure say: _____. Do you think this is a very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not at all convincing reason to OPPOSE the measure?
FIGURE 13 NEGATIVE ARGUMENTS
Among the negative arguments tested, the most compelling were: Residents and local businesses have been hit hard by inflation, high interest rates, and cost of living increases. Many are struggling to stay afloat. Now is not the time to raise taxes (73% very or somewhat convincing), Everyone is coming after us for tax increases - including state and county taxes, school bonds, and other taxes that will be on the ballot this year. Enough is enough. We can't afford to keep raising our taxes (70%), and There are no guarantees on how funds will be spent, which means the City can divert the money to pet projects without any say from voters. We can't trust the City with our tax dollars. They will mismanage the money (68%).

Voters’ opinions about ballot measures are often not rigid, especially when the amount of information presented to the public on a measure has been limited. An important goal of the survey was thus to gauge how voters’ opinions about the proposed measure may be affected by the information they could encounter during the course of an election cycle. After providing respondents with the wording of the proposed measure, projects and services that could be funded, and arguments in favor of and against the proposal, the survey again asked voters whether they would vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the proposed sales tax measure.
Question 11 Now that you have heard a bit more about the measure, let me read you a summary of it one more time. To provide funding for city services in Hermosa Beach, such as paving streets and fixing potholes; repairing aging infrastructure; keeping streets, parks, playgrounds and public facilities safe, clean, and well-maintained; fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response; police and crime prevention; shall City of Hermosa Beach's ordinance establishing a 1% sales tax be adopted, providing approximately 4 million dollars annually for general city services until ended by voters, with independent audits, citizen oversight, and all money locally controlled? If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on this measure? FIGURE 14 FINAL BALLOT TEST
At this point in the survey, support for the measure was found among 55% of likely November 2026 voters surveyed, with 27% indicating they would definitely support the measure. Approximately 33% of respondents opposed the measure at the Final Ballot Test, and 12% were unsure or unwilling to state their vote choice.

Whereas Table 6 displays changes in support for the measure over the course of the interview at the subgroup level, Table 7 displays the individual-level changes that occurred between the Initial and Final Ballot Tests for the measure. On the left side of the table is shown each of the response options to the Initial Ballot Test and the percentage of respondents in each group. The cells in the body of the table depict movement within each response group (row) based on the information provided throughout the course of the survey as recorded by the Final Ballot Test.
For example, in the first row we see that of the 27.0% of respondents who indicated that they would definitely support the measure at the Initial Ballot Test, 21.7% also indicated they would definitely support the measure at the Final Ballot Test. Approximately 4.0% moved to the probably support group, 0.4% moved to the probably oppose group, 0.4% moved to the definitely oppose group, and 0.5% stated they were now unsure of their vote choice.
To ease interpretation of the table, the cells are color coded. Red shaded cells indicate declining support, green shaded cells indicate increasing support, whereas white cells indicate no movement. Moreover, within the cells, a white font indicates a fundamental change in the vote: from yes to no, no to yes, or not sure to either yes or no.
TABLE 7 MOVEMENT BETWEEN INITIAL & FINAL BALLOT TEST
As one might expect, the information conveyed in the survey had the greatest impact on individuals who either weren’t sure about how they would vote at the Initial Ballot Test or were tentative in their vote choice (probably yes or probably no). Moreover, Table 7 makes clear that although the information did impact some voters, it did not do so in a consistent way for all respondents.
Some respondents found the information conveyed during the course of the interview to be a reason to become more supportive of the measure, whereas a similar percentage found the same information reason to be less supportive. Despite 15% of respondents making a fundamental5 shift in their opinion about the measure over the course of the interview, the net impact is that support for the measure at the Final Ballot Test (55%) was just one percentage point different than support at the Initial Ballot Test (56%).
5. This is, they changed from a position of support, opposition, or undecided at the Initial Ballot Test to a different position at the Final Ballot Test.

City of Hermosa Beach True North Research, Inc. © 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 F INAL B ALLOT T EST AT L OWER R ATE The ballot language tested throughout the survey indicated that the measure would increase the local sales tax rate by one percent and be used to fund general city services. Voters who did not support the proposed measure at the Final Ballot Test (Question 11) were subsequently asked if they would support the measure if the rate were set at a lower amount: one-half percent.
As shown in Figure 15, lowering the tax rate to one-half percent generated a modest amount of additional support for the proposed measure. An additional 7% of voters indicated they would support the measure if the tax rate were lowered to one-half percent, although nearly all of the additional support for the measure was ‘soft’ (i.e., probably yes).

M ETHODOLOGY
The following sections outline the methodology used in the study, as well as the motivation for using certain techniques.
QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENT Dr. McLarney of True North Research worked closely with the City to develop a questionnaire that covered the topics of interest and avoided possible sources of systematic measurement error, including position-order effects, wording effects, response-category effects, scaling effects, and priming. Several questions included multiple individual items. Because asking the items in a set order can lead to a systematic position bias in responses, items were asked in random order for each respondent.
Some of the questions asked in this study were presented only to a subset of respondents. For example, only individuals who did not support the sales tax or were unsure at the Initial Ballot Test (Question 5) were asked to describe the reason for their position (Question 6). In some cases, two versions of a question were tested to identify how wording differences impact perceptions of the item. In such cases, half of the sample received the item with version 1 wording (e.g., Question 10, item D1) and the other half received version 2 (e.g., Question 10, item D2).
The questionnaire included with this report (see Questionnaires & Toplines on page 31) identifies the skip patterns and programming instructions used in the survey to ensure each respondent received the appropriate questions.
PROGRAMMING & PRE-TEST Prior to fielding the survey, the questionnaire was CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) programmed to assist interviewers when conducting telephone interviews. The CATI program automatically navigates skip patterns, randomizes the appropriate question items, and alerts the interviewer to certain types of keypunching mistakes should they occur. The survey was also programmed into a passcode-protected online survey application to allow online participation for sampled voters. The integrity of the questionnaire was pre-tested internally by True North and by dialing into voter households in the City prior to formally beginning the survey.
SAMPLE The survey was administered to a stratified and clustered random sample of registered voters in the City who are likely to participate in the November 2026 general election, with a subset who are also likely to participate in the lower-turnout June 2026 primary. Consistent with the profile of this universe, the sample was stratified into clusters, each representing a combination of age, gender, and household party type. Individuals were then randomly selected based on their profile into an appropriate cluster. This method ensures that if a person of a particular profile refuses to participate, they are replaced by an individual who shares their same profile.
STATISTICAL MARGIN OF ERROR By using the probability-based sampling design noted above, True North ensured that the final sample was representative of voters in the City who are likely to participate in the November 2026 general election. The results of the survey can thus be used to estimate the opinions of all voters likely to participate in said election.
Because not all voters participated in the study, however, the results have what is known as a statistical margin of error due to sampling. The margin of error refers to the difference between what was found in the survey of 519 voters for a particular question and what would have been
Methodology
City of Hermosa Beach True North Research, Inc. © 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 found if all of the estimated 11,560 likely November 2026 voters identified in the City had been surveyed for the study.
Figure 16 provides a graphic plot of the maximum margin of error in this study. The maximum margin of error for a dichotomous percentage result occurs when the answers are evenly split such that 50% provide one response and 50% provide the alternative response. For this survey, the maximum margin of error is ± 4.2%.
FIGURE 16 MAXIMUM MARGIN OF ERROR DUE TO SAMPLING
Within this report, figures and tables show how responses to certain questions varied by subgroups such as age, gender, and partisan affiliation. Figure 16 is thus useful for understanding how the maximum margin of error for a percentage estimate will grow as the number of individuals asked a question (or in a particular subgroup) shrinks. Because the margin of error grows exponentially as the sample size decreases, the reader should use caution when generalizing and interpreting the results for small subgroups.
RECRUITING & DATA COLLECTION The survey followed a mixed-method design that employed multiple recruiting methods (telephone, text, and email) and multiple data collection methods (telephone and online). Telephone interviews averaged 16 minutes in length and were conducted during weekday evenings (5:30PM to 9PM) and on weekends (10AM to 5PM). It is standard practice not to call during the day on weekdays because most working adults are unavailable and thus calling during those hours would likely bias the sample.
Voters recruited via email and text were assigned a unique passcode to ensure that only voters who received an invitation could access the online survey site, and that each voter could complete the survey only one time. During the data collection period, email reminder notices were also sent to encourage participation among those who had yet to take the survey. A total of 519 surveys were completed between April 16 and April 23, 2026. 519 Respondents

Methodology
City of Hermosa Beach True North Research, Inc. © 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 DATA PROCESSING Data processing consisted of checking the data for errors or inconsistencies, coding and recoding responses, weighting, and preparing frequency analyses and crosstabulations.
ROUNDING Numbers that end in 0.5 or higher are rounded up to the nearest whole number, whereas numbers that end in 0.4 or lower are rounded down to the nearest whole number.
These same rounding rules are also applied, when needed, to arrive at numbers that include a decimal place in constructing figures and tables. Occasionally, these rounding rules lead to small discrepancies in the first decimal place when comparing tables and charts for a given question.

B
All money raised by the measure will stay

All money raised by measure will stay local to fund essential services, facilities here in Hermosa Beach; by law, it can’t be taken away by State or County
By keeping city safe, clean, well-maintained, measure will help protect quality of life, keep Hermosa Beach a special place to live City maintains 47 mi of streets, 70 mi of sidewalks, 112 acres of beaches, parks, playfields; measure provides funding we need to keep streets, infrastructure, parks in good condition
Most of sales tax goes to State, County; measure ensures higher percentage of sales tax dollars stay here in Hermosa Beach, we have local control over how those funds are spent
City has $220M+ in unfunded street, infrastructure projects that need to be completed; the longer we wait to fix streets, infrastructure, facilities, the more expensive it will become
Fast response times for 911 calls critical for saving lives; measure will ensure that we have enough police officers, firefighters, paramedics to respond quickly to 911 emergencies
Measure will cost just $1 for every $100 purchased; food, medicine, many other essential items are excluded from tax
Measure includes a clear system of accountability incl citizen oversight, independent audits, public disclosure of how all funds are spent
Measure makes good financial sense; most of money raised by sales tax comes from people who visit, pass through Hermosa Beach, but don’t live here

There are no guarantees on how funds will be spent, City can divert money to pet projects without any say from
voters; we can’t trust City with tax dollars; they will mismanage money

CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL EVENT POLICY GUIDE AND FEE UPDATES - 26-PR027 Todd Tullis When these policy & fee changes were reviewed by the Commission (April 16 2026), the RCS fee study showing that special event costs exceeded revenues by ~$350k had yet to be made public. During the Commission meeting we were assured by Staff that these changes would result in the city covering its costs, though no specifics of estimating methodology were shared. Given the magnitude of the subsidy being provided is now known, I hope that Staff can "show their work" around cost estimation for Special Events so that the public and Council have confidence that these new fee amounts will recover city costs.
For
FY 2026-2027 BUDGET PRESENTATIONS - 26-AS-061
Todd Tullis I encourage the Council to work "big to small" - by this I mean to start with the highest dollar items first - when directing action or making decisions on the available revenue options. Specifically regarding TOT/Short Term Rentals I hope Council can ensure there are lawful and resident-friendly operational limits and that the city can collect its share of taxes from these stays that are likely to increase in frequency.

AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PROJECT ANALYSIS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY YARD PROJECT -26-PW-025 Ira Ellman In January of this year, the City Council made the decision to spend $565K for Owners Representative Services over four years related to the City Yard. This was a poor decision without determining how Hermosa Beach would pay the required estimated $20mm remediation and construction costs. In that January meeting, the City Manager said that raising meter and citation rates would create a new revenue stream and not our intention to program those in the next budget, but to have those set aside to extent possible to fund this. I dont believe that is the case, as these incremental revenue streams, along with creative accounting, are what is being used to balance the 2026-2027 Budget. Now, staff are proposing spending an additional $574K on City Yard CEQA and environmental services. With the current difficult financial situation the city faces, it continues to be increasingly obvious that no additional funds should be invested in the City Yard until funding the project is resolved.

AWARD OF CONTRACT TO MOFFAT & NICHOL FOR PREPARATION OF A VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION PLAN. - 26-CMO-032 Tracy H AGAINST
Sea Level Rise (SLR) adaptation planning requires strong justificationparticularly when recent scientific updates question the extremes of both high- and low-end projections that often drive such plans.https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/19/2627/2026/Hermosa Beach is confronting significant fiscal strain, with City Council budget sessions projecting a **$3.2 million structural general-fund deficit** for FY 2027 and a cumulative five-year shortfall approaching $19.3 million. One-time measures (pandemic aid, vacancy savings, deferred spending) have been exhausted, prompting discussions of departmental cuts, fee increases, and other difficult choices to protect core services. In this context, a nearly $474,000 three-year commitment (through April 30, 2029) for sea level rise adaptation planning requires strong justificationparticularly when recent scientific updates question the extremes of both high- and low-end projections that often drive such plans. ### Questionable Scientific Foundation: Implausible High-End and Inconsistent Low-End Projections The **European Geosciences Union** (EGU) *Geoscientific Model Development* (2026) paper on the ScenarioMIP-CMIP7 framework highlights important limitations in prior scenarios used for climate planning. Specifically:
- **High-end projections**: CMIP6 high-emission scenarios like **SSP5-8.5** (and its predecessor RCP8.5) "have become implausible" due to trends in renewable energy costs, policy developments, and recent emissions data. The new CMIP7 scenarios narrow the high end, with forcings expected below previous extreme levels.- **Low-end projections**: "At the low end, many CMIP6 emission trajectories have become inconsistent with observed trends during the 20202030 period." This indicates that aggressive low-emission pathways assumed in earlier modeling often do not align with real-world developments in the current decade.These findings underscore that extreme scenariosboth very high and very lowat the tails of previous projections lack strong plausibility or consistency with observed data. Many coastal adaptation plans, including those influencing California communities, have leaned on upper-bound sea level rise estimates tied to high-emission pathways to justify expansive (and costly) measures. Relying on such assumptions now risks over-preparing for low-likelihood outcomes while underweighting more central, plausible trajectories. The paper stresses designing scenarios within a "wide and plausible range," prioritizing internal consistency and realism over legacy extremes.For Hermosa Beach, this calls for **prudent recalibration**: Focus on robust, no-regrets strategies (e.g., enhanced beach management, drainage improvements) based on updated, moderate projections rather than committing substantial funds to plans potentially anchored in outdated high-end assumptions.### Moffatt & Nichol: Suboptimal Fit Amid Fiscal ConstraintsMoffatt & Nichol brings strong expertise in large-scale port, harbor, and regional transportation infrastructure projects. However, this orientation is less ideal for a compact, primarily residential beach community like Hermosa, where adaptation needs center on localized issues such as wave run-up, groundwater intrusion, minor flooding, and recreational beach preservation. Their portfolio skews toward major engineering endeavors that could produce recommendations disproportionate to the city's scale and budget realities.With structural deficits projected and core services under pressure, outsourcing to a firm geared toward bigger-ticket solutions increases the chance of over-scoped outcomes. Hermosa has conducted prior climate-related assessments; layering on another comprehensive plan at this price point duplicates effort when resources are needed elsewhere.### Recommendations - **Re-scope or pause** the contract to incorporate the latest CMIP7-aligned science and limit scope to essential, cost-effective updates. - Prioritize monitoring of actual local sea level and erosion trends over speculative long-term modeling.- Explore lower-cost alternatives: academic collaborations, state resources, or targeted engineering studies focused on proven resilience measures.- Align any planning with fiscal disciplinedefer non-urgent expenditures until the structural budget gap is addressed sustainably.Awarding this contract now would commit significant funds (and staff time) amid documented deficits for planning that should be grounded in the most current, plausible science. The EGU/GMD analysis provides clear rationale for caution on both high- and low-end extremes, reinforcing the need for evidence-based restraint in Hermosa Beach's current fiscal climate. Council should prioritize core services and flexible, adaptive management over this expenditure.Source Assistance: AI Against
ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT (TA24-01) TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE (HBMC) PERTAINING TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE - 26-CDD045 Stacy Straus, Srour & Associates
To Hermosa Beach City Council,I am in support of the proposed changes to Administrative Procedures being presented to you. As a regular representative of applications for residential and commercial development in the City of Hermosa Beach, it is encouraging to see the proposed changes, as they create clarity, allow transparency, they will save time for an applicant, and mostly they allow for predictability, which applicants need as they consider investing in this City.
I attended a session with Planning Manager Oropeza where I was able to ask questions about the proposed changes, give comments and get and give clarification. Ms. Oropeza had a command of the Muni Code, was able to address my comments and questions, made changes in the draft proposal regarding the detailed implementation questions and she took into account my concerns. I hope we have your support in making the changes to the City procedure that will give applicants the direction, clarity and transparency they need when considering development in Hermosa Beach. I am available for questions or discussion as well. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Stacy Straus For

CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL EVENT POLICY GUIDE AND FEE UPDATES - 26-PR027 Laura Pena Dear City Council -
I appreciate the effort to improve clarity and administrative efficiency in the Special Event Policy Guide. I believe this item should be viewed as more than a permit guide update. It is also an economic and fiscal policy decision.The Citys fee study shows that Community Resources recovers only 47.3% of its costs overall, and that Special Event Permit activity recovers only about 14.8% of cost. In dollar terms, that is roughly $60,000 in special event revenue against $405,896 in cost, and $1.368 million in Community Resources revenue against $2.895 million in cost. That level of under-recovery is harder to justify in the current fiscal environment.Cost RecoveryThe staff report says the proposed fees are intended to support improved cost recovery. But some of the proposed fees appear much closer to symbolic charges than true cost recovery.For example, the proposed policy sets: Long Term Agreement (LTA) application fees at $485 commercial and $291 nonprofit Reserved Parking Staging at $207 Event Modification at $114 Public Hearing at $38 plus publication costsBut the fee study shows materially higher documented costs: LTA cost: $8,784 Reserved Parking Staging cost: $542 Event Modification cost: $527 Public Hearing cost: $176 The LTA example is especially important. Even at the fee studys 35% recovery benchmark, the multi-year agreement fee would be $1,902 for commercial events and $1,141 for nonprofits. Instead, the proposed fees are $485 and $291. The proposed commercial LTA fee appears to recover only about 5.5% of the Citys documented cost, not 35%.I understand from Commissioner feedback that when this item was before the Commission on April 16th, the fee study results were not yet public and the estimating methodology was not shared.I also think there is an important local business equity issue here. I am concerned about the difference between the subsidies being effectively provided to sponsors and participants within large special events versus the fee burden placed on our small businesses trying to do modest activations. For example, the fee study shows a co-sponsor fee of $356 per sponsor within the special event program, while the Temporary Minor Special Event fee in the Citys permit structure is $1,900, with a $335 date change fee. That creates the impression that a local business trying to do small activations may be paying far more than a sponsor participating within a larger event ecosystem.LTA FrameworkI am concerned about the proposed LTA framework. It is too thin. The draft reduces eligibility to only one threshold, that an event has been held in our City for at least three consecutive years, and limits obligations to a post-event presentation focused on attendance, community impacts, and successes and challenges. Longevity alone should not be enough to justify recurring priority access to public space and City resources. LTAs should also demonstrate measurable economic value, operational reliability, and a clear public return.
The City has the most leverage at the front end of these negotiations. If staff enters into LTA negotiations without specific deliverables such as local business activation, measurable economic reporting, cost recovery expectations, and compliance standards, we may not be setting these agreements up as true win-win arrangements.Peak Season Limits CitywideWhat problem are we actually trying to solve? If the answer is administrative ease, I do not believe that alone is a sufficient reason to impose citywide limits if that could unintentionally constrain smaller events that may better serve different parts of the City or support local businesses in a more targeted way.Hybrid Pricing ModelI would also encourage consideration of a simpler hybrid pricing model rather than relying too heavily on symbolic fee levels. A framework with a minimum base fee, actual cost billing for City services, and a revenue share above a threshold may better protect the City while still allowing event producers to benefit when events perform well. I support a stronger special events program. But if we want events to contribute to revenue generation, the policy must do more than organize the process. It must be tied to measurable public value.
I appreciate your consideration. Against

Thank you for creating meaningful opportunities for public feedback during the Zoning Code Update Administrative process. For those of us following these updates closely, these forums have been valuable because they allowed the public focused feedback before items reach Council. I recommend the City provide more communication about these open forums so they can engage a wider audience.The few items I would like to address lead to a broader question for Council: How does the City define success for the Administrative Procedures updates?In my view, the update is successful if compliant projects move faster, staff spends less time on avoidable process, businesses can open and improve their spaces more predictably, mixed-use housing moves from application to completion, and the City grows recurring revenue without relying only on new taxes and fees.How the City defines and publicly reports that success will matter. If residents, businesses, applicants, and investors can see that our City is improving review timelines, reducing bottlenecks, and providing more predictable service, it will increase trust and signal better quality services.I respectfully recommend the following refinements:1. Strengthen the Purpose section.The Purpose section supports orderly growth and economic development, but it does not yet connect the Administrative Procedures to measurable service outcomes. I recommend adding language stating that the zoning procedures are intended to promote timely, predictable, consolidated, and measurable review of housing, business, and development applications.This matters because zoning administration affects economic development, housing production, business openings, commercial reinvestment, and fiscal sustainability.2. Define compatible in Section 17.04.040 Definitions.I support using compatibility as an approval finding. However, because the term appears throughout the entitlement chapters, it should be clearly defined in the definitions section.Compatibility should mean the ability of a use or project to coexist with surrounding uses based on identifiable physical and operational factors such as scale, setbacks, access, parking, noise, lighting, odor, hours of operation, and other measurable impacts. It should not mean that a project must be identical to its surroundings, universally popular, or free from controversy.3. Allow Director level minor modifications for late-night establishments and outdoor uses when the change does not intensify the use or expand floor area. Outdoor dining, patios, retail display, and active frontages are important to our commercial vitality. A blanket exclusion could make it harder for businesses to make practical improvements, accessibility upgrades, safety changes, or layout adjustments even when no new impacts are created.4. Remove Section 17.03.110(C)(3) from Revocation of Permits.As proposed, this provision would allow a permit to be revoked if the approved use or activity has been suspended or dormant for more than 12 consecutive months. I respectfully recommend removing this provision. A valid permit should not be vulnerable to revocation simply because a use has been inactive for 12 months. Vacancies and delays are often caused by factors outside the control of the property owner or operator, including tenant turnover, financing, insurance, construction delays, Coastal Commission review, plan check, lease negotiations, utility upgrades, market conditions, or broader economic uncertainty.This language could unintentionally penalize property owners who are actively trying to lease, improve, finance, permit, or reactivate a space. It may also reduce the value of existing entitlements, discourage tenant improvements, complicate financing, and make investors more hesitant to take on vacant or underutilized commercial properties.5. Create a tiered Parking Plan process.Routine parking plans for small commercial spaces, changes of use, shared parking, restriping, managed parking, or modest parking adjustments should be reviewed administratively when objective criteria are met. Larger or policy level parking requests should remain with the Planning Commission.These refinements would make the code more business supportive while still protecting residents and public accountability.I appreciate the work staff has done to improve the Administrative Procedures. I encourage Council to support the update, while asking staff to define success clearly, measure outcomes publicly, and make these refinements so these procedures become a stronger economic and public service process.
As always I appreciate your consideration For

Ecomment Report
ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT (TA24-01) TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE (HBMC) PERTAINING TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE - 26-CDD045 Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce
Dear City Council and Mayor,On behalf of Hermosa Beachs business community, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce appreciates the Citys work to modernize the Administrative Procedures section of the Zoning Code.We support the overall goal of creating a more timely, predictable, and measurable review process for business and development applications. Clearer procedures, stronger administrative review pathways, and more consistent decision making are important steps toward supporting local businesses, property reinvestment, tenant improvements, and long term economic vitality.As the City considers adoption, we respectfully recommend three targeted refinements to better protect businesses and encourage investment.1. Section 17.03.100(A) Minor ModificationsAs proposed, the Director would not be able to approve minor revisions for late-night establishments or outdoor uses, even when the change does not intensify the use or expand approved floor area.We recommend removing this blanket exclusion. Outdoor dining, retail displays, patios, and active frontages are important to our commercial vitality. Businesses should be able to make modest, non-intensifying changes administratively. A more balanced approach would allow Director approval when the change remains consistent with the original approval and conditions.Remove Section 17.03.110(C)(3) from Revocation of Permits.As proposed, this provision would allow a permit to be revoked if the approved use or activity has been suspended or dormant for more than 12 consecutive months, as demonstrated by any form of evidence or documentation. I respectfully recommend removing this provision. A valid permit should not be vulnerable to revocation simply because a use has been inactive for 12 months. Vacancies and delays are often caused by factors outside the control of the property owner or operator, including tenant turnover, financing, insurance, construction delays, Coastal Commission review, plan check, lease negotiations, utility upgrades, market conditions, or broader economic uncertainty.This language could unintentionally penalize property owners who are actively trying to lease, improve, finance, permit, or reactivate a space. It may also reduce the value of existing entitlements, discourage tenant improvements, complicate financing, and make investors more hesitant to take on vacant or underutilized commercial properties.The City already has authority to revoke or modify permits when conditions are violated, laws are violated, approvals were obtained by fraud, the use creates a nuisance, or the permit is being exercised contrary to its terms. Those provisions appropriately focus on actual harm, noncompliance, or misuse not inactivity alone.3. Section 17.72.030 Parking Plan Review AuthorityAs written, all Parking Plans would be reviewed by the Planning Commission. We recommend creating a tiered process.Routine Parking Plans for small downtown lots, changes of use in existing buildings, shared parking, restriping, managed parking, or modest parking adjustments should be eligible for Director level review when objective criteria are met.Planning Commission review should be reserved for major parking reductions, large new development, removal of public parking, or unresolved policy issues.Parking is one of the biggest barriers to reinvestment in older commercial buildings. If every parking solution requires a public hearing, the process may discourage tenant improvements, adaptive reuse, storefront activation, and business expansion. A tiered approach would still protect parking availability while making it easier for businesses to improve and activate commercial spaces.Recommended Council DirectionThe Chamber respectfully requests that City Council support the Administrative Procedures update with direction to staff to:
1Allow Director level minor modifications for late-night establishments and outdoor uses when the change does not intensify the use or create new impacts;2Remove this language altogether - no revocation of permits based on dormancy;3Create a tiered Parking Plan process with Director review for routine small-scale parking requests and Planning Commission review for major or policy level requests;4Track outcomes such as review timelines, administrative approvals, Planning Commission hearings avoided, tenant improvements, business openings, and commercial vacancy trends.
Our business community supports thoughtful regulation and public accountability. But the process should also be practical, proportional, and predictable. These refinements would help the City protect neighborhoods while supporting business investment, commercial vitality, and long term fiscal health.Thank you. Hermosa chamber of Commerce and Business Advocacy Commitee.

Agenda Item 11(a)
Hello Council and Staff.
My comment relates specifically to community reach-out and feedback.
I have not been following this so cannot comment on the substance of the changes.
However, I am encouraged to see the efforts to streamline matters as our City continues its efforts to make life easier for its residents and business owners, and not harder. I also appreciate this in the context of the fee discussions. I firmly believe if we are not able to recover fully for this type of activity, before raising fees we need to evaluate processes and, where we can, lower costs. So, thank you for this.
Meanwhile, I am grateful the City has renewed its efforts to be transparent and engage with the community in a meaningful way. For example, during hearings about last year’s Builder’s Remedy application, the Planning Department did a great job of keeping residents and other stakeholders informed, by tracking email addresses of those who submitted comments or other feedback, and reaching out directly when, for example, hearing dates were extended. We very much appreciated that courtesy and those efforts.
In that vein, I applaud the recent three “Drop-in Office Hours” but understand they were sparsely attended. I don’t know what efforts were made to publicize those meetings but, it seems, similar outreach would have been great. Maybe it was done but apparently there were up to 14 prior “study sessions and discussion meetings” with Economic Development “stakeholders.” Presumably anyone who participated in those prior meetings, or commented at earlier hearings, were informed of the Drop-In opportunities.
Other means to publicize these events, and maybe these were done, I am just not aware, are through the email subscription list of upcoming City meetings, the City Manager report at Council meetings and the Staff Report at relevant Commission meetings.
Again, I am grateful for the increased engagement and desire for robust community feedback on matters which impact us and encourage those efforts be enhanced wherever possible. And maybe all these, or similar, publicity measures were undertaken and folks were just so happy with the changes they did not feel the need to comment! Thank you for your service.
Best, Nancy Schwappach
I support this ordinance. After more than 40 years without a comprehensive update to the City’s zoning procedures, this effort is long overdue, and I appreciate the years of work by staff, the Planning Commission, and the many stakeholders who contributed to getting it here.
That said, I believe a few targeted refinements would make this a substantially stronger ordinance — one that better serves residents, property owners, and small businesses – – and that matches the spirit of the City’s own stated goals of timely, predictable, and measurable permitting.
1. Precise Development Plans for Code-Compliant Housing and Mixed-Use Projects
I support staff recommendations to create a “Minor PDP” that routes condos and small mixed-use in a more appropriate process. Currently every condo and every mixed-use project in Hermosa Beach — regardless of size, and regardless of whether it fully complies with city code — is required to obtain a “Major” Precise Development Plan.
This means a staff report, a public hearing before the Planning Commission, applicant fees, and months of added delay, even when the project raises no policy questions and deviates from nothing in the code. This adds a negative impact to all parties with no positive effect.
The data speaks for itself. Over the last 24 months, the Planning Commission has not once denied a code-compliant Condo/Mixed-use PDP. I can not count how many times I have heard Pete Hoffman say at a Planning Commission hearing “It checks all the boxes. We can’t deny it.”
A guaranteed delay with a predetermined outcome is not oversight. It is process burden imposed on residents and property owners who have already done everything the City asked of them.
Recommendation: Follow staff recommendation that condos and mixed-use projects that meet 100% of objective standards and seek no variance or deviation are approved at the Director-level. Full appeal rights to the Planning Commission are preserved, but a mandatory public hearing for a project that complies with everything in the code is not appropriate. If the code is objective, the review should be administrative.
2. Dormancy-Based Permit Revocation Should Be Struck All-together The proposed ordinance would allow a permit to be revoked if a use has been dormant for more than 12 consecutive months. I am asking the Council to strike this provision entirely.
Most people view a vacant storefront as a problem to be solved. I’d ask Council to consider a different frame: almost every vacant commercial space in this city is actively going through something. Cleaning up. Finding a tenant. Pulling permits. Waiting on the Coastal Commission. Negotiating a lease. Working through financing. Managing insurance or ADA compliance issues. The transition is rarely visible from the street — but that does not mean it isn’t happening.
Consider the Becker building, which many of you know. Don English had tenants and wanted to make a transition that should have been straightforward. But once the project entered the regulatory process — Planning Commission routing, solar requirements, and California ADA elevator requirements — each layer added months. What should have been a manageable transition became years of vacancy. That building was not abandoned. It was stuck. And no revocation clock would have helped — it would only have added pressure and uncertainty to an owner already navigating a complex system.
Furthermore, tenanting a commercial property is a completely different animal to residential property. Lenders and investors build extended vacancy periods into every deal they underwrite. Standard lease-up assumptions are 6 to 12 months for office, 8 to 12-plus months for retail, and 12 to 24 months for stabilized occupancy in new or significantly vacant buildings. These are not failure scenarios — they are normal market transitions. When commercial properties are finally tenanted, the leases are typically 5-10yrs, or longer, so getting the right tenant is important.
The answer to vacancy is not a penalty. The answer is a system that allows smoother transitions.
The City already has code enforcement tools to address genuinely abandoned or nuisance properties. A new dormancy-based revocation trigger is not needed for that purpose — and its reach goes well beyond it.
Recommendation: Strike §17.03.110(C)(3) in its entirety.
3. Parking Plans — Create a Tiered Review Process
As written, all Parking Plans are reviewed by the Planning Commission. This is disproportionate and discourages reinvestment in small local events, and older, small commercial buildings where parking is already one of the biggest barriers to tenant improvements, adaptive reuse, and storefront activation.
A small downtown lot with eight parking spaces is not a policy question. It is arithmetic.
Routing that kind of routine adjustment through a Planning Commission hearing adds months of delay and cost to projects that need neither.
Recommendation: Establish a tiered Parking Plan process. Director-level review should be available for routine plans: restriping, shared parking arrangements, small changes of use, modest parking adjustments, and managed parking for smaller events and commercial lots. Planning Commission review should be reserved for major parking reductions, large new development, removal of public parking, or situations involving unresolved policy questions. This preserves Commission oversight where it genuinely matters while removing unnecessary process burden from straightforward cases.
Entitlement Expiration — Allow Exercise of Permit
Entitlements can expire before financing is secured, before Coastal Commission review is complete, or before plan check and tenant improvement work can commence. For applicants who are diligently pursuing a project, this can mean going back through a full
hearing for an approval that everyone agreed was appropriate — just because the timeline slipped due to factors outside their control. I recommend adding an “Exercise of Permit” provision for substantially unchanged approvals where the applicant can demonstrate diligent pursuit. An exercised permit should not require construction commencement as its only metric of progress.
I hope my comments are helpful and considered seriously. Other than one item (revocation due to dormancy) I strongly support staff recommendations, with minor tweaks. The refinements I have outlined are not objections to the overall effort in any way but an invitation to go a little further and match the level of review to the level of judgment actually required. A streamlined, predictable process is a win for all stakeholders!
Best Regards
Jon David
Dear City Council.
Dear Director Nichols
Director Nichols said in her 5/12/26 budget presentation related to taxpayer subsidies and program costs that:
Our proposed budget reflects a strong position for a Parks and Recreation Department, recovering about 77% of the department costs...
This would seem to be a mathematical impossibility.
PARKS & REC FYE26 BUDGET
$2,536,857
77% RECOVERY:
2,536,857 x 77%= $1,952,602.
UNRECOVERED Costs & Subsidies ACCORDING TO Director Nichols 77% calculation:
2,536,857 - $1,952,602 = $584,255
UNRECOVERED P&R SUBSIDIES ACCORDING TO RCS:
$1,526,319
RCS Spreadsheet:
Thats a million dollar per year discrepancy that needs a better explanation.
So is it $584,255 or $1,526,319 in unrecovered costs & subsidies? Director Nichols also said in her 5/12 budget presentation that:
Additionally, we do have ONE program that's currently operating at a deficit. It is our Park After School program.
By my count, looking at the RCS spreadsheet above its not ONE program operating at a deficit; its 12 of the 14 Programs and a cumulative deficit of $1,526,319 I hope the public gets a better independently verified analysis of Director Nichols costsubsidy recovery facts, figures & plans before approving any new fees in the Special Events Policy Guide.
Its also reasonable we get an independent audit of the taxpayer subsidies the Parks & dept will accrue over the next 3 years for each of the 14 items in the spread sheet above.
I leave you with a question. The Parks & Rec have $1.526 million dollars a year in taxpayer subsidies currently.
With your new fee schedule how much of the ~1.526 million in Park Department Subsidies are targeted for recovery for each of the next 3 years for the 14 major programs listed above.
And while some Parks and Rec Subsidies may be justified eg a portion of the Theatre Costs or day care for low to moderate income residents, how much in subsidies should go to non-residents?
Shouldn't the council specifically authorize amount of each subsidy and if the that target cant be met get the city out of that business?
Every subsidized dollar recovered reduces the General Fund budget deficit by a dollar and I hope the city address this squarely before coming hat in hand asking for a sales tax increase.
Thank you for considering

Staff Report No. 26-AS-059
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
REVENUE REPORT, EXPENDITURE REPORT, AND CIP REPORT BY PROJECT FOR MARCH 2026
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the March 2026 Financial Reports.
Executive Summary:
Attached are the March 2026 Revenue and Expenditure reports. The reports provide detail by revenue account and by department for expenditures, with summaries by fund at the end of each report.
Discussion:
As of March 2026, General Fund revenue is 65.0 percent received for 75.0 percent of the fiscal year. The General Fund revenue, particularly tax revenue, is not received incrementally. The total would reach 76.1 percent when adjusting for tax revenue.
General Fund expenditures are 77.2 percent expended for 75.0 percent of the fiscal year.
Expenditures do not necessarily occur on an incremental basis. The total would reach
71.7 percent when adjusting for encumbrances.
The Capital Improvement Project (CIP) reports group the funding for each project together, which is similar to how the projects are shown in the budget. In the regular Expenditure Report, the CIPs appear at the end of each fund; therefore, the total funding is not displayed in one place.
