a) REPORT 19-0651 CITY COUNCIL REVIEW AND RECONSIDERATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO DENY A REQUEST FOR A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PARKING PLAN FOR A SIX-UNIT MOTEL PROJECT BY CONSTRUCTING A NEW THREE-STORY, DETACHED 2,744 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING CONTAINING FIVE UNITS, TO BE CONSTRUCTED BEHIND THE EXISTING 1,841 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WHICH WILL BE CONVERTED TO AN ADDITIONAL UNIT AND A PARKING PLAN TO ALLOW THE 6-SPACE PARKING REQUIREMENT TO BE MET WITH 4 ON-SITE SPACES (INCLUDING 1 TANDEM SPACE) PLUS FEES IN-LIEU FOR 2 SPACES, ON A 4,023 SQUARE FOOT LOT IN THE C-2 (RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT AT 70 10TH STREET; AND CONSIDERATION OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
The residents on 10th Street, and the surrounding impacted area, have opposed this proposed development since it's inception. Many of us have now attended multiple Planning Commission meetings regarding this proposal; and submitted written commentary. This issue has been voted down every time during the Planning Commission sessions.
Mow, we are forced to attend a City Council session reviewing this Item? Why?
The main issue at hand is the request to allow a Variance to the Parking Requirements. There is no valid reason for this City to be granting any more of these types of Variances!
Parking is, and has been for some time, a major issue, and this10th Street area is one of the most impacted areas of Hermosa Beach. We are consistently beset by the events that this city insists on ramming down our throats; all of which regularly and severely intrude on our lives!
So, how about for a change, you do what you were elected to do; Shepherd, Protect, and Nurture the City of Hermosa Beac and the residents that make this place our home! Quit selling us out to every Special Interest group that shows up! We do not need Developers that refuse to conform to our regulations! We do not need to accept "Fees in lieu of Compliance"!
