REPORT
THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. On July 17, 2002, the City Council for the City of Manhattan Beach (“City”) adopted Resolution No. 5770 approving a Master Use Permit (“MUP”) and on February 11, 2003, the California Coastal Commission issued a Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) to the City (A5 -MNB-02-257), to allow the development of a 63,850 square-foot, two-story commercial development, 40,000 square feet of grade-level public areas including a Town Square, and a two-level, public subterranean parking structure at 451 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, commonly referred to as Metlox (“Property”), subject to the terms and conditions of that certain “Disposition and Development Agreemen t and Ground Lease Between the City of Manhattan Beach & Metlox LLC” dated May 15, 2002 (“Ground Lease”).
SECTION 2. Amendments to the MUP and Ground Lease since 2003.
• May 25, 2005: Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P C 05-08, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment to modify the previously - approved alcohol sales and special events permitted to occur at the hotel use. • December 13, 2006 : Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P C 06-20, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment to modify the previously- approved hours of operation and allowed off-site sales and consumption of wine at the Petros restaurant tenant space (Suite B110). , • May 14, 2008: Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P C 08-08, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment to allow limited on-site sales and consumption of beer and wine at the Le Pain Quotidien tenant space (Suite A-132).
• September 7, 2010: City Council adopted Resolution No. 6275, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment to modify the previously-approved hours of operation, notification for events, allow expanded food service operations, and approved various noise mitigation measures at the hotel use. • October 7, 2014: City Council adopted Resolution No. 14-0064, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment to modify the eating, drinking, and banquet services associated with the hotel, allow special events to be conducted on the terrace, modify conditions regulating marketing, and allow installation of noise mitigation measures at the hotel use. • June 5, 2018: City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-0074, approving a Master Use Permit Amendment and the Third Amendment to the Ground Lease to allow personal improvement uses in certain locations and the conversion of one restaurant into two restaurants within its existing footprint at the Property.
SECTION 3. On October 13, 2023, Metlox, LLC (“Applicant”) applied for a Master Use Permit Amendment and Coastal Development Permit to modify the established size limitations applicable to specific land uses, including Eating and Drinking establishments, within the existing commercial development at the Property (“Project”). Pursuant to the applicable entitlements for the Property, the existing permitted uses include Retail, Personal Services, Retail/Specialty Food Services, Eating and Drinking Establishments, Offices, and Visitor Accommodations. A corresponding Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease is required for the request.
SECTION 4. Master use permits and amendments thereto are governed by Manhattan Beach Municipal Code Sections 10.84 .100, 10.84.105, and 10.84.060, and Chapter A.84 of the Manhattan Beach Local Coastal Program (“LCP”) , respectively .
Municipal Code Section 10.84.100 and LCP Section A.84.100 specify that, “[A] request for changes in conditions of approval of a use permit […] that would affect a condition of approval, shall be treated as a new application.” Thus, a request to modify the conditions of approval is processed as a Use Permit Amendment. Use Permit Amendments are typically reviewed by the Planning Commission. However, as part of the City Council’s action on June 5, 2018, the City Council retained jurisdiction of the subject request, in the event that the applicant reapplied for the same request in the future. The Applicant’s request includes modifications to the size limitations for specific land use categories established by the original Master Use Permit approved in 2002 as most recently amended by a Master Use Permit Amendment approved in 2018; thus a master use permit amendment is required.
SECTION 5. Coastal development permits are governed by Chapter A.96 of the LCP. Section A.96.040 specifies that, “Except as provided by Section A.96.050, any person, partnership, or corporation, or state or local government agency wishing to undertake any development, as defined in Section A.96.030, in the CZ District, shall obtain a Coastal Development Permit in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, in addition to any other permit required by law.” The subject request includes an intensification of the permitted land uses, including Eating and Drinking Establishments, by modifying the established size limitations of specific land uses.
SECTION 6. On January 21, 2025, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project, during which the City Council received a presentation by staff and testimony from the Applicant, and provided an opportunity for the public to provide evidence and testimony. The City Council also received and reviewed written testimony received by the City prior to and during the public hearing. After the close of the public hearing, the City Council directed staff to draft a resolution approving the Master Use Permit Amendment and Coastal Development Permit, subject to conditions.
SECTION 7. The City Council finds that the Project is within the scope of, and was adequately analyzed in, the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified for the original development of the Property pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (State Clearinghouse Number SCH 1999121090, Resolution No. 5659) in 2001.
Further, the Ground Lease amendments relating to commissions and auditing are economic in nature, and have no potential for having any direct or indirect impact on the environment. As such, no further environmental review or documentation is required to be prepared for the Project or Ground Lease amendments.
SECTION 8. The record of the public hearing indicates:
A. The Property (as described in Exhibit A attached to this Resolution) is located in Area District III and is zoned Downtown Commercial (CD), with a General Plan land use designation of Downtown Commercial. The Property is within the non-appealable portion of the City’s Coastal Zone, and surrounding properties are zoned CD to the south and west, Public and Semipublic (PS) to the north, and Open Space (OS) to the east.
B. The uses authorized by this Master Use Permit amendment are either permitted by-right or conditionally permitted in the CD zoning district and
are in compliance with the Property’s General Plan lan d u se designation of Downtown Commercial. The General Plan encourages the Downtown Commercial land use category to “provide locations for a mix of commercial businesses, residential uses with discretionary review, and public uses, with a focus on pedestrian-oriented commercial businesses that serve Manhattan Beach residents.”
C. A Coastal Development Permit is required for the Project because it involves an intensification of existing uses, including Eating and Drinking Establishments, within the City’s Coastal Zone.
D. The Property is currently governed by a Master Use Permit (Resolution No. 5770) and subsequent amendments (including, but not limited to, the most recent amendment approved by Resolution No. 18-0074) approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, and a Coastal Development Permit approved by the California Coastal Commission (Permit No. A5- MB-02-257).
E. The Project is consistent with the following General Plan and LCP goals and policies, as described in the staff report prepared for the Project:
Land Use Plan Goal LU-6: Maintain the viability of the commercial areas of Manhattan Beach.
The viability of commercial areas depends on a range of factors, including having various types of services and restaurants. The proposed changes to the maximum allowable square footages for each use category still encourages a variety of uses at the subje ct site, including dining, retail, and services to support the Downtown commercial viability.
Land Use Plan Policy LU-6.2: Encourage a diverse mix of businesses that support the local tax base, are beneficial to residents, and support the economic needs of the community.
Downtown Manhattan Beach has a mix of restaurants and services.
The ability to redistribute allowable uses within the existing commercial development could attract more patrons to the property.
Eating and drinking establishments as well as retail businesse s are required to collect sales tax, a portion of which goes back to the City.
Land Use Plan Goal LU-7: Continue to support and encourage the viability of the Downtown area of Manhattan Beach.
Downtown Manhattan Beach has a variety of commercial uses including, but not limited to, coffee shops, restaurants, and retail stores.
As proposed, the modifications to the allowable square-footages for a combination of land uses is complimentary to these uses, as patrons may visit othe r Downtown businesses, thus contributing to the economic viability of Downtown Manhattan Beach.
Land Use Policy LU -7.1: Encourage the upgrading and growth of businesses in the Downtown area to serve as a center for the community and to meet the needs of local residents and visitors.
Allowing for modifications to the size limitations of permitted uses within an existing multi -tenant commercial development in a central location in Downtown Manhattan Beach encourages this
development to adapt and respond to gradual neighborhood changes and changing market conditions over time.
Land Use Plan Policy LU-7.4: Encourage first-floor street front businesses with retail, restaurants, service/commercial, and similar uses to promote lively pedestrian activity on Downtown streets, and consider providing zoning regulations that support these uses.
A portion of the existing buildings have facades oriented along commercial corridors (Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Valley Drive, and Morningside Drive). The proposed modifications would continue to encourage customer-serving and pedestrian-oriented land uses on the ground floor and throughout the existing commercial development. The existing restriction at the site that prohibits office uses on the ground floor is proposed to remain unchanged.
Local Coastal Program Policy II.B.5: Development of the former Metlox site shall provide the parking necessary to meet the standards set forth in Section A.64 of Chapter 2 of the Implementation Plan. All required parking shall be provided on the Metlox site.
A thorough analysis of the parking requirements for the proposed Master Use Permit amendment has been provided above and has confirmed that required parking can be provided on the Metlox site. The parking is in full compliance with the Coastal Permit conditions of approval imposed by the Coastal Commission
SECTION 9. Based upon substantial evidence in the record, and pursuant to Municipal Code Section 10.84.060 and Section A.84.060 of the LCP, the City Council hereby makes the following findings related to the Master Use Permit amendment and Coastal Development Permit:
1. The proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located for the following reasons:
The subject site is within the CD zoning district and is currently occupied by a variety of land uses in accordance with the existing land use entitlements. These land uses include eating and drinking establishments (restaurants), retail sales, retail/specialty food services, personal improvement services, offices, personal services, and visitor accommodations (hotels). The applicant is proposing to modify the size limitations for most of the allowable land uses at the site (with the exception of visitor accommodations), allowing them more flexibi lity to redistribute square -footage among those land uses. The applicant’s request would alter the maximum size thresholds allowed for specific land uses but does not alter the primary function or use classifications at the site or allow for an increase in the building area on the site.
2. The proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which the uses would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working on the proposed project site or in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such uses; and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city for the following reasons:
The General Plan encourages a “vibrant downtown” that offers “services and activities for residents and visitors.” The Property’s General Plan land use designation is Downtown Commercial. The proposed modifications to the size limitations are applicable only to allowable uses for the subject site and there are no proposed changes to the types of land uses that are permitted at the property, or in the overall building area allowed on the site . The combination of uses currently allowed at the property, includ ing eating and drinking establishments (restaurants), retail sales, retail/specialty food services, personal improvement
services, offices, personal services, and visitor accommodations (hotels) are consistent with the intended mix of uses in the Downtown District. The Project is compatible with neighboring uses, as neighboring lots are developed with commercial uses to the south and west, public and semi-public uses to the north, and open space to the east.
When taken together, the requested modifications to the size limitations of allowable land uses do not result in a significant intensification of use because the site will continue operating as a multi -tenant, commercial development and is not proposing an y physical expansion of the existing buildings. There are no new buildings or expansion of existing buildings being proposed. Furthermore, the Project was reviewed by the Building & Safety and Traffic divisions, the Public Works, Police, and Fire Departmen ts, none of which raised concerns or objections that have not been adequately addressed through modifications to the proposed project or conditions of approval. Therefore, the Project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working on the site, or in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City.
3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of Title A (Zoning) of the Manhattan Beach Local Coastal Program and Title 10 of the Municipal Code, including any specific condition required for the proposed uses in the district in which they would be located for the following reasons:
The Project proposes to change the size limitations of permitted uses within the existing footprint of a commercial development. The types of allowable uses would remain unchanged from those currently permissible under the existing land use entitlements th at have governed the site to -date. Per LCP Section A.16.020 and the existing land use entitlements, there are certain uses permitted at the subject site by-right and conditionally through the approval of a Use Permit at the property. A Master Use Permit Am endment is also required when a proposed project requires changes to the original Master Use Permit’s conditions of approval.
The project site is an existing, multi -tenant commercial property. The project scope is to modify the size limitations for specific land uses and redistribute square footage among those uses within the existing buildings, with no increase in the overall si ze of the existing commercial development. Conditions of approval have been proposed which will ensure compliance with the required findings for a Use Permit and serve as an additional governing entitlement with the prior land use entitlements (including, but not limited to, Resolution No. 18 - 0074 and Resolution No. 5770) for the development and operation of the subject site.
4. The proposed use will not adversely impact nor be adversely impacted by nearby properties. Potential impacts are related but not necessarily limited to traffic, parking, noise, vibration, odors, resident security and personal safety, and aesthetics, or create demands exceeding the capacity of public services and facilities which cannot be mitigated.
The proposed project is located on a previously-developed site along Manhattan Beach Boulevard and is consistent with uses surrounding the site, which include commercial, public and semi -public, and open space uses. The proposed changes to the size limitations are being applied to land use categories currently permitted to occur at the subject site under existing land use entitlements. Project characteristics related to parking, noise, vibration, odors, security, and personal safety are addressed through LC P and Manhattan Beach Municipal Code requirements, and conditions of approval. Furthermore, the use will not create demands exceeding the capacity of public services and facilities.
The applicant contracted a transportation consultant to prepare a parking analysis, which analyzed the amount of parking required by the code based on the project request, the estimated demand based on the subject request, and analyzed the amount of surplus parking that would remain available for continued use by the general public. Based on their observations and analysis, the consultant provided parking-related recommendations. These recommendations have been incorporated as proposed conditions of approval.
SECTION 10. Based upon substantial evidence in the record, and pursuant to Section A.96.150 of the LCP, the City Council hereby makes the following findings related to the Coastal Development Permit:
A. The project, as described in the application and accompanying material, or as modified by any conditions of approval, conforms with the certified LCP.
The subject site is located within Area District III and zoned Downtown Commercial (CD). The General Plan and Local Coastal Program/Land Use Plan designation for the property is Downtown Commercial, which “provides locations for a mix of commercial businesses, residential uses with discretionary review, and public uses, with a focus on pedestrian-oriented commercial businesses that serve Manhattan Beach residents.” The proposed increase in eating and drinking establishment uses for the Property is allowed through a Master Use Permit (or amendment thereto) in the CD zoning district and is consistent with the City’s General Plan land use designation. There are no changes proposed to the types of land use classifications permitted at the project site, but rather to allow changes to the maximum square - footage for each use, within the established square -footage limit for the overall Property. As such, the project as conditioned conforms with the City’s certified LCP.
B. If the project is located between the first public road and the sea, that the project is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act of 1976 (Commencing with Section 30200 of the Public Resources Code).
As the project site is located east of Ocean Drive, it is not located between the first public road and the sea; therefore, it is not subject to this finding. Further, the existing structures at the Property do not impact public access to the shoreline.
Adequate public access is provided and shall be maintained along Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Morningside Drive, 13th Street, and Valley Drive. Furthermore, the project does not create any barriers along Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Morningside Drive, 13th Street, and Valley Drive that prevent public access to the coast.
SECTION 11. In addition to the MUP, the City and the Applicant entered into that certain Disposition & Development Agreement & Ground Lease ("Ground Lease") dated May 13, 2002 as to the Subject Property, which, inter alia, designated certain types of sub-tenants as to which the City and Metlox agreed were beneficial, subject to certain terms and conditions such as square footage limitations. Thereafter, in light of changing circumstances, the parties amended the Ground Lease three times thereafter. The Applicant has now sought additional modifications to the limitations imposed upon certain types of sub -tenants, which requires not just the MUP Amendment and CDP, but an amendment to the Ground Lease . Accordingly, t he City Council hereby approves the Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease, substantially in the form attached hereto, and hereby directs the City Manager and the City Attorney to make any necessary changes to conform the Fourth Amendment to the Council action on the Applicant's application to amend the MUP and Coastal Development Permit.
SECTION 12. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the Project, subject to the Fourth Amendment to the Ground Lease being fully executed, and the conditions below:
General
1. All conditions applied to Resolution No. 5770 and subsequent amendments, including Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 18 -0074, City Council Resolution No. 18 -0074 and Coastal Development Permit No. A5 - MB-02-257, remain in full effect unless expressly modified or superseded by the conditions contained herein.
2. The Project shall be in substantial conformance with the plans and project description submitted to, and approved by, the City Council, as amended by these conditions. Any substantial deviation from the approved plans and project description, as conditioned, shall require review by the Community Development Director to determine if further approval from the Planning Commission or City Council is required.
3. Any questions of intent or interpretation of any condition will be reviewed by the Community Development Director to determine if Planning Commission or City Council review and action is required.
4. At any time in the future, the Planning Commission or City Council may review the Master Use Permit for the purpose of revocation or modification in accordance with the requirements of the Manhattan Beach Municipal Code (“MBMC”) Chapter
10.104, LCP Section A.96.210, or both . Modification may consist of conditions deemed reasonable to mitigate or alleviate impacts to adjacent land uses.
5. Community Development Department staff shall be allowed to inspect areas of the Property open to the public at any time during regular business hours to determine compliance with the conditions imposed and Local Coastal Program requirements.
6. The Applicant shall submit all necessary plans to the Community Development Department for any tenant improvements. Modifications and improvements to the Property shall be in compliance with applicable Planning Division, Building Division, Public Works, Wa ste Management, Fire Department, and Health Department regulations, when applicable, and all other applicable codes and regulations (California Building Code, MBMC, etc.).
