USE OF THE REDONDO BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING
TO AMENDMENTS TO THE C-2 AND C-2-PD ZONES LOCATED ON
PROPERTIES WITHIN THE ARTESIA AND AVIATION CORRIDORS
AREA PLAN.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redondo Beach at their duly noticed public hearing on December 8, 2020, adopted the “Artesia & Aviation Corridors Area Plan” (AACAP); and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Artesia and Aviation Corridor Area Plan (AACAP) is to identify policy approaches and explicit actions that can be used by City staff or property owners to activate, energize, and revitalize the Artesia and Aviation Corridors in a coordinated and consistent manner; and
WHEREAS, the purpose and intention of the “Placemaking” within the Artesia and Aviation Corridor Area Plan are to encourage reinvestment and better serve community needs, ensure the continued stability of nearby residential neighborhoods, and provide a social anchor for North Redondo; and
WHEREAS, on August 5, 2025, the City Council held a meeting to discuss the City’s General Plan – Land Use Element update with a specific focus on policies related to the “revitalization of the Artesia and Aviation Corridor”. The City Council discussed, took public testimony, and considered numerous revitalization strategies, including but not limited to, increasing the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for properties within the AACAP area from 0.6 to 1.5, potential mixed-use development within AACAP, development “caps” with increased FAR’s as incentives for early revitalization projects, reduced or eliminated open space requirements, and various additional future parking strategies. At the conclusion of all discussions and public comments, the City Council directed staff to move forward, as a priority item, with an amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance eliminating required parking for non-residential uses; and
WHEREAS, on January 6, 2026, staff presented a draft Zoning Ordinance for amendments to the C-2 and C-2-PD zones within the AACAP area for the City Council’s review and direction. City Council took public testimony, discussed the proposed ordinance, and provided the following direction to city staff:
1. Development standards should ensure a walkable environment is created that places the first-floor commercial level at-grade.
2. Landscaping should be incorporated into projects to improve the aesthetic design.
3. Ensure design guidelines intended avoid over-advertised storefronts, promote RESOLUTION NO. 2026-02-PCR-01
AACAP C-2/C-2-PD AMENDMENTS ORDINANCE
high quality design, and avoid excessive lighting
4. Update the City’s sign ordinance in a future update.
WHEREAS, on February 19, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and received a “report” (written and oral) from City staff that presented the proposed amendments to the C-2 and C-2-PD zones within the AACAP that included the City Council’s general directions, took testimony from the public and other interested parties, deliberated, and made recommendations that the City Council consider prior to adoption of the proposed standards that are specifically identified in “SECTION 1.” of the Planning Commission’s “RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS” determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY FIND AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS
1. The Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt environmental findings/exemptions that state additional regulations and/or amendments of existing C-2 and C-2-PD building intensity and development standards within the Artesia and Aviation Corridors were included in the scope of the Certified program Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 202305073) for the City’s focused General Plan Update.
Pursuant to CEQA Sections 15162 and 15168(c)(2)(e)(1) and (2) the program EIR adequately describes the proposed building intensity amendments for purposes of CEQA and would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts beyond those disclosed in the certified program FEIR. Furthermore, future development projects proposed pursuant to the amended development standards will be subject to project-level review in accordance with CEQA.
2. The proposed amendments to the Zoning ordinance are consistent with the General Plan.
a. Land Use Element Goal 1H: Continue and enhance existing commercial districts which contribute revenue to the City and are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
b. Land Use Element Policy 1.15.2: Publicly initiate and allow for the private sector development of municipal or shared parking lots, which incorporate bicycle storage facilities, along the street frontages to provide for joint use of adjacent commercial properties and allow for the incorporation of commercial uses into the structure along the street frontage (except for areas required for access).
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-02-PCR-01
AACAP C-2/C-2-PD AMENDMENTS ORDINANCE
c. Land Use Element Objective 1.17: Provide for the development of uses which predominantly serve and are accessible to local residents, create a distinctive pedestrian activity area of the City, and are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
d. Land Use Element Policy 1.17.1: Accommodate a mix of commercial uses which provide for the needs of nearby residents (as defined by Policy
1.16.1) and enhance pedestrian activity on parcels designated as “C-2-PD". e. Land Use Element Policy 1.17.3: Encourage the development of outdoor dining and other similar uses which do not impede pedestrian circulation on the sidewalks.
f. Land Use Element Policy 1.19: Provide for the development of uses which predominantly serve and are accessible to local residents and compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
3. These amendments require a vote of the people under Article XXVII of the City Charter.
SECTION 2. RECITALS. The above recitals are true and correct, and the recitals are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 10-2.2504(e)(1) and (3) Zoning amendments, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the amendments to the Redondo Beach Municipal Code pertaining to the C-2 and C-2-PD zones located on properties within the AACAP area as identified in SECTION 2. with the incorporation of the following additional considerations.
1. Prior to adopting the proposed amendments to the C-2 and C-2-PD development standards, initiate a public outreach visioning process to guide the development and design standards and build community buy-in.
2. As part of any public outreach visioning process develop visual photo simulations to depict the changes in streetscape associated with the increase to a 1.5 FAR, three stories, and a maximum height of 45 feet.
3. Artesia Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard have a different character and attributes and may warrant different development standards related to FAR, number of stories, and height.
4. The maximum development potential for the lot should not be granted automatically, but instead should be contingent upon compliance with certain design criteria and potentially based on desired use of the upper floors.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-02-PCR-01
AACAP C-2/C-2-PD AMENDMENTS ORDINANCE
5. All levels above the first-floor should have additional setbacks from the first level to reduce massing along the street frontage and a canonization and negative shadow effect.
6. Design standards should require variations in the wall planes of the front elevations for increased building articulation and added visual interest.
7. A first floor 10-foot front yard setback should be considered to provide a more engaging and walkable pedestrian environment that could incorporate additional area for outdoor dining and other street activation options.
8. The development standards should maintain the 10 percent usable public open space requirement for larger-sized lots.
