Introduction and Overview

The City of Hermosa Beach is currently working on updating and integrating two of the City’s key planning documents - the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Collectively referred to as PLAN Hermosa, this Plan will set a long-term vision and provide policy direction and guidance to residents, City staff, decision-makers, and the community on what investments we make in our infrastructure, how we preserve our small beach town character, where changes are needed to grow our economy and create local jobs, and how we aspire to create a healthier environment that protects our coastal resources and sets Hermosa Beach on a path toward a more sustainable future. Within PLAN Hermosa, goals and measurable actions have been established that will help us achieve our long term vision as a community that values our small beach town character, vibrant economy, and healthy environment and lifestyles.

 

We want to hear your constructive feedback regarding this draft Plan. Please be as specific as you can in your responses/recommendations. We will then aggregate the input collected and share with City Staff and Decision-Makers.

    All residents should be allowed to purchase parking permits. This would encourage the use of local businesses and be a source of revenue for the city. The current residential permit program should be seasonally limited as it was until very recently. The year-around one hour limit unfairly puts a burden on other residents and visitors and essentially provides private parking for residents in that zone.
