H. On January 23, 2026, a Public Hearing Notice for the February 3, 2026 City Council meeting was sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property and posted at the project site, library, and City Hall. After the Public Hearing Noice was sent out, staff found that it omitted the project address.
I. On February 3, 2026, per staff’s recommendation, the City Council continued the subject item to the February 17, 2026 City Council meeting due to improper noticing
J. On February 6, 2026, a new Public Hearing Notice with the property address was sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property and City Hall, Lomita Park, and on the City’s website.
K. On February 17, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted public testimony for an application
Section 2. Findings.
The City Council hereby adopts the above recitals and pursuant to California Government Code Section 66410 et seq., Government Code Section 66412.3, (Subdivision Map Act), Section 11-2.116 of the Lomita Municipal Code, and the City’s General Plan, based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The General Plan designation of the site is Medium-Density with the allowable density of 10.9 to 19.8 dwelling units per acre per the City’s Housing Element. The City’s General Plan update cited providing a variety of housing options to meet the varying needs of residents at all income levels. The townhome model will offer young families a path to home ownership or allow for multi-generational housing due to the option of conversion of existing space into Accessory Dwelling Units, which are permissible in all residential zoning districts within the City.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
As previously stated in Finding 1 above, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan, and it is not subject to a specific plan. The following are relevant Land Use Element policies of the General Plan:
• LU-2.4 Residential Neighborhoods. Protect established residential neighborhoods by requiring new development to be sensitive to low density housing, including through appropriate building massing and scale, and to minimize impacts related to the operation of the use.
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *154
Resolution No. 2026-07
• LU-3.5 Preserve Neighborhood Character. Preserve the character and uniqueness of existing residential neighborhoods.
The above policies explain the importance of protecting existing residential neighborhoods. The proposed townhome design includes four separate buildings at a maximum height of 27 feet. As designed, the proposed development is consistent with applicable General Plan policies.
3. The site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. Immediately to the north is a two-story townhome development similar in height and footprint to the proposed development. The proposed development includes four townhomes in conformance with all applicable development standards in terms of height, setback, parking, and density. Staff also found that the proposed development will not adversely affect protected views of surrounding residential properties.
4. The site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
As previously stated in Finding 3 above, the site is physically suitable for the type of proposed development, and the proposed density is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan. The proposed density does not result in any code conflicts and is similar to the townhome development immediately to the north.
5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The subject property is located within a developed urbanized area that is not adjacent to environmental habitat areas such as marshes, preserves, rivers, forests, lakes, and oceans. The General Plan does not identify the site or its surroundings as being a habitat for any sensitive species. As a result, the subdivision design and improvements are not expected to harm any wildlife. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause any environmental damage.
6. The design of the subdivision or of the proposed improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
The site has two drains and is adjacent to an existing community sewer system.
As part of the City’s condition of approval, the developer is required to submit civil and utility plans to the Lomita Department of Public Works and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for review and compliance with all applicable codes and is not to proceed with permits unless all applicable provisions are met.
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *155
Resolution No. 2026-07
7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
The title report identified water pipes and conduits easements on site; however, the deed document attached to the title report was written in 1912 and is partially legible due to its age. Staff determined that the easements are likely not to be impacted by the project as the use and purpose of the easements are antiquated.
The title report provided did not indicate any newer easements held by a public agency or located within the use of the property.
Pursuant to LMC Section 11-1.70.11(E), the City may approve a “Height Variation Permit” if it makes the following findings:
1. An existing significant view will not be obstructed by the proposed construction; or
2. The proposed construction is designed to be the least intrusive on the existing view of neighboring property owners and occupants.
The following statement is a justification for Finding 1 above as only one of the two findings must be made for the approval of an HVP. Planning staff sent out a total of 122 notices to property owners within 300 feet of the property and provided site plans to the property owners immediately adjacent to the property in accordance with LMC Section 11-1.70.11(C). Staff received a total of 11 responses (or 6 percent) of neighboring owners objecting to the project stating a variety of concerns including neighborhood compatibility, privacy, parking, and significant views. These neighbor concerns are not related to whether the HVP can be approved.
In response to concerns about significant views, staff contacted the concerned parties to schedule a site visit to determine the applicability of the significant views provision. Over a two-day period, staff met with four property owners at 26211 Oak Street, 26121 Oak Street, Units C and E, and 2092 Guyson Street to discuss their concerns regarding the views and documented locations identified as significant views determined by the property owners. In our discussions with the property owners, the common theme and concerns were concluded to be related to privacy concerns and parking. Under the LMC, privacy is not considered a determining Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *156
Resolution No. 2026-07
factor in the HVP application process and staff found that no significant views are to be obstructed as a result of the development.
Pursuant to the City of Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) Section 11-1.70.07, a site plan review is established in order to provide a visual and factual document to determine and regulate the physical layout, design, or use of a lot or parcel of land, building, or structure.
A site plan review is required to determine whether the proposed development will properly comply with the provisions and development standards. The City may approve a site plan review with or without conditions if it finds that:
1. The site plan complies with all applicable provisions of this title.
The requested site plan review is to permit two one-car carports in a proposed four-unit townhome development. The roof of the carports will be used as patios for the proposed units. The carports meet all the applicable setbacks of five feet from the side yards and six feet from other structures, provide a shelter to vehicles, and enhance outdoor spaces. Therefore, the requested site plan review complies with all applicable provisions.
2. The site is suitable for the particular use or development intended, and the total development, including the application of prescribed development standards, is arranged to avoid traffic congestion, will not adversely affect public health, safety and general welfare, will not have adverse effects on neighboring property and is consistent with all elements of the General Plan.
The site is located within Oak Street to the west, which is zoned for both medium and high-density residential development. Per the Lomita General Plan Land Use Element, the R-2 zoning, Medium Density designation allows for a range of residential land uses, including detached and attached single family homes, duplexes, and multifamily dwellings with 10.9 to 19.8 units per net acre.
Additionally, per the Housing Element, the development adds a variety of housing options, which is consistent with Housing Element Goal number 2.
Regarding the Mobility Element, the location of the site is within a local street, rather than a major or minor thoroughfare, and is not expected to increase traffic due to the residential land uses already established in the neighborhood. The proposed project consists of this designation with four townhomes on site and meets the required parking requirements under LMC Section 11-1.66.03(A), apartment house and condominium provision. Each townhome, except for unit C.1, has approximately four bedrooms and offers two-car garages to accommodate the required parking. (Sheet A1.1) Unit C.1, which has a total of five bedrooms, provides a third parking space adjacent to the residence. In addition, the site meets the required two guest parking spaces which are located under the carports of units B.1 and B.2. The designated guest parking spaces are to serve the residents of all units onsite and are to be identified via signage. As a result, staff does not Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *157
Resolution No. 2026-07
foresee an increase in traffic as the result of the development and any proposed ADUs on the site are required to meet the required parking requirements set forth by the State of California unless a proposal is exempt from those provisions.
For the Resource Management Element, under California Building Code, all new developments are to be solar ready to which the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Division will confirm compliance with this provision during plan check.
Additionally, the site is expected to comply with all applicable provisions related to storm water, drainage, and water conservation through the City’s drought tolerant landscaping and the State’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance requirements. Furthermore, the site is not eligible for a dumpster under the multiple family provision of the Lomita Municipal Code, as only four units are proposed on the site, therefore requiring that each residential unit maintain their own waste bins.
The project provides storage for the required bins, which are identified on the project plans.
3. The development design is suitable and functional. This requirement shall not be interpreted to require a particular style or type or architecture.
The proposed design is suitable and functional for the site as it accommodates for open space onsite for future tenants, allows for adequate access for vehicles and provides ample parking for residents and guests.
Pursuant to the City of Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) Section 11-1.70.08, a Modification, the City may approve a modification, with or without conditions, only if it first finds that:
1. The modification is being requested in conjunction with a satisfactory site plan review.
The requested modification is being requested in conjunction with SPR No. 1223 in which staff determined the proposed project is compliant with applicable development standards identified in LMC section 11-1.30.02 for the R2, residential-medium density zoning district, and general provisions per LMC 11-
1.30.03. Findings for the site plan review under Article 70 are provided above.
2. Topographic features, subdivision plans, or other conditions create unnecessary hardship or unreasonable regulation or make it obviously impractical to require compliance with the yard requirements, setbacks or other development standards identified as being eligible for consideration of a modification pursuant to this section.
Finding number two is not applicable because the requested modification is for a carport and a not a yard requirement or setback reduction. A carport in a residential zone property is subject to a site plan review and modification. The proposed carports are in conformance with the applicable development standards in the Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *158
Resolution No. 2026-07
City’s zoning code. The constraints of the site force the required parking to be located underneath the decks, adjacent to the proposed residential units. As a result, the code forces the deck to become a carport as a carport is defined as any freestanding structure, tent, or canopy designed to serve as a shelter for a vehicle, and having less than four sides. This effect of the interaction of the site conditions and municipal code thus creates unnecessary hardship and/or unreasonable regulation that would bar the creation of the deck, which would otherwise be allowed if the required parking were not located underneath it. The carport structures will not create any constraints with the use of the property, but add value to the project as they double as open space areas for residents. The application of the code is impractical because it would restrict the very nature of the request (carports), which are identified as being eligible for consideration with a modification.
Section 3. Environmental Review.
The City Council finds that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15303(b) (New Construction), 15315 (Minor Land Divisions), and 15332 (Infill-Development) of the CEQA guidelines, the project is exempt from CEQA. The project site is in an urbanized area and includes a multi-family residential totaling four units. The project will create four parcels, one for each new residential townhome unit. The subject parcel has not been subdivided within the past two years, and the average slope is not to exceed 20 percent. As an in-fill project, it is consistent, without requiring any variances or exceptions, with applicable General Plan designation, General Plan policies, zoning designations, and regulations. The development is taking place within city limits on a project with less than five acres and is surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The approval would not result in significant effects related to traffic noise, air quality, or water quality. Finally, the site can adequately be served by all required utilities and public services.
Section 4. Based on the above findings, the City Council of the City of Lomita hereby approves TPM No. No. 84865, SPR No. 1223, MOD No. 2, and HVP No. 119, subject to the following conditions:
GENERAL PROJECT CONDITIONS

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-08 to Initiate Amendments to General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designations of Several Lots Throughout the City
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution initiating a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment to consider changing the General Plan land use and zoning designations of several lots throughout the City; and Direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding the subject item.
BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2024, the City Council adopted Phase I amendments of the Zoning Code as part of the adopted General Plan Update. Phase I Code updates are intended to implement the policies and programs of the 2021-2029 Housing Element. Some of these changes included various rezoning, including allowing residential/commercial mixed-use in all commercial zones.
DISCUSSION
Since the adoption of Phase I Zoning Code amendments, staff have identified several changes that inadvertently created inconsistencies for City staff when reviewing proposed plans. Specifically, the aim is to bring legal, non-conforming multi-family residential back in compliance with the underlying land use designation and zoning map, while still maintaining the same maximum densities for consistency with the Housing Element.
First, several multi-family residential zoned areas/lots were rezoned to commercial, resulting in all the apartment buildings on Narbonne Avenue south of Pacific Coast Highway and north and south of Palos Verdes Drive (Rolling Hills Town Club and Harbor
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9b
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *176
2 Hills) becoming legal, non-conforming status. This is due to the fact that multi-family residential is not a permitted use as a standalone use in commercial zones as shown in Exhibit 1 below.
Exhibit 1 below illustrates other multi-family residential lots scattered throughout the City that appear to have been inadvertently rezoned commercial. All commercial zones may permit mixed-use development (commercial and multi-family residential) but not residential as a standalone use. Mixed-use development requires that a certain amount of building square footage based on the lot’s street frontage be dedicated to commercial use.
A legal, non-conforming use status can be extremely restrictive in terms of expansions, alterations, or redevelopment should the property be destroyed in a natural disaster. In theory, a non-conforming use and structure is meant to exist during an amortized period and then brought into compliance with present code requirements. However, the unintended consequences of creating legal, non-conforming uses are a reduction to property values, difficulty in acquiring financing/insurance and overall disinvestment which causes vacancies and neglected buildings.
Exhibit 1 – Non-Conforming Multi-Family Residential

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *177
3 Second, in 2024, the zoning for the properties on Narbonne Avenue between Pacific Coast Highway and Lomita Boulevard was changed to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) with a few dispersed lots given the Housing (H) Overlay. Following incorporation in 1964, all properties along this stretch of Narbonne Avenue were zoned Commercial General (CG) despite having been constructed as residential prior to 1964. With the recent changes 2024, a few dispersed lots have been permitted by-right to be residential as a standalone use under the H-Overlay designation given to all properties in the Housing Element shortfall list. The shortfall list identified all properties necessary to comply with the City’s Reginal Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirement. The Housing Element requires that the properties in the shortfall list be permitted to be developed as residential by-right.
Exhibit 2 – Non-Conforming Single-Family Residential
Source: Zoning Map, 2024
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *178
4 Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) Section 11-1.70.17 (non-conforming uses) does not permit the expansions and alterations to non-conforming residential uses in commercial zones fronting Narbonne Avenue, Lomita Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway. Many of these lots are just over 5,000 square feet in size and 50 feet in width. These smaller lots are not conducive for new commercial development and the best economic use for these properties is often to preserve them as residential. However, the City’s current strict requirements have resulted in many of the residential uses fronting Narbonne Avenue to fall in disrepair subsequently undermining the City’s efforts to make Narbonne Avenue a more pedestrian-friendly corridor.
Process for Correction
Pursuant to LMC Section 11-1.70.05(B), the City Council, Planning Commission or Community and Economic Development Director may initiate a zoning amendment, inclusive of amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Map. Giving the complexity of the proposed zoning amendment, staff decided to have the City Council initiate the request and decide whether to direct staff to work on the amendments.
The City Council may direct staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment that would bring legal, non-conforming multi-family residential back in compliance with the underlying land use designation and zoning map, while still maintaining the same maximum densities for consistency with the Housing Element.
Additionally, the non-conforming residential uses fronting Narbonne Avenue could be modified to include the H Overlay. The H Overlay would permit the redevelopment of the Narbonne Avenue lots with residential uses consistent with the densities required in the Housing Element.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Planning Division staff has determined that because the initiation of the proposed zoning amendment does not approve any physical projects, there is no possibility for the proposed zoning amendment initiation to have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial implications resulting from this recommendation.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-08
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA,
CALIFORNIA, TO INITIATE A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO CONSIDER CHANGING THE
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS OF
SEVERAL LOTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. On October 15, 2024, the City Council adopted Phase I of the zoning code update related to the City’s recently adopted General Plan Update. The zoning code update included the rezone of many lots citywide.
Section 2. Initiation. Pursuant to Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) Section 11-
1.70.05(B), the City Council hereby initiates amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Map.
Section 3. Environmental Review. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The City Council has determined that because the initiation of the proposed zoning amendment does not approve any physical projects, there is no possibility for the proposed zoning amendment initiation to have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.
Section 4. Planning Commission Hearing.
The Planning Commission is hereby directed to conduct a duly noticed public hearing in accordance with the provisions of LMC Section 11-1.70.04. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall recommend to the City Council whether it should approve, modify or deny the proposed amendment.
