Assistant Planner Johnny Case told the commission the applicants, Dana Ireland and Tony Corte of LNB South Bay LLC, seek to expand alcohol service from beer-and-wine to include distilled spirits (ABC Type 47) and to remove an existing condition requiring a bicycle rack for six bikes. Case said staff found the CUP amendment consistent with required findings in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and recommended approval of the alcohol change but recommended denying the request to remove the bike-rack condition. Staff proposed a specific bike-rack location in the public right of way south of the outdoor dining area; Public Works reviewed and tentatively approved that location, subject to an encroachment permit and rack type approval.

Applicant Dana Ireland, owner of Coastal, said alcohol revenue is a necessary margin for restaurant survival and asked the commission to approve the amendment to achieve parity with similar downtown restaurants. Ireland also asked the commission to consider permitting up to 10 interior screens to accommodate business meetings and multimedia uses in a well-lit front room. \"These devices...give us the flexibility to try and meet the needs of our customer,\" Ireland said, describing TVs more broadly as multimedia displays used at off-peak times.

Commissioners discussed three discrete issues: allowing distilled spirits (Type 47 license), the number of interior screens, and the bicycle-rack requirement. The commission approved the CUP amendment with two notable modifications: (1) increase the maximum permitted screens from 5 (the previous limit stated in CUP documents) to 10, and (2) allow the proposed six-bike rack in the public right of way only so long as the outdoor dining deck remains in its current configuration (if the dining deck is removed the bike-rack requirement will no longer apply and parking would be restored to the curb).

Commissioners also directed staff to finalize precise language tying the bike-rack requirement to the existence of the outdoor dining deck and to ensure any rack installation complies with public-works encroachment rules. The motion to adopt staff recommendation 25-08 with those two changes passed 5'0''\u0000. Staff noted the decision will be memorialized in the resolution and processed consistent with normal appeal procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission approved an amendment to allow distilled spirits at Coastal (844 Hermosa Ave.), increased the permitted number of in-restaurant screens, and approved a bike-rack solution tied to the outdoor dining deck; motion carried 5'0''\u0000.","taxTitle","Hermosa Beach City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",71860,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6532166,"Commission approves beer-only conditional use permit for South Bay Golf Club at Hermosa Pavilion",1298,2241000,3539000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e&start=2241&end=3539","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e/thumbnail_2241000.jpg","/articles/6532166/Hermosa-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-approves-beer-only-conditional-use-permit-for-South-Bay-Golf-Club-at-Hermosa-Pavilion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532166-97b93e831d884d3896bd9e9692e5b4d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201923&Signature=j3ebDmZA9loqJxv~U6cEW-~2nJnoG2l0DYqAyGBb-4Dc~i~AYu~vo7VGGvecNwmnVdl~jb0cT2N74gtDJqwxR2GiQHV-5ci1b8kGqfeOY0pY6GIUsM8aQTt~qoUHElqniqO~RBUzBIAGjOpFvHIiQONzLiAcChzVWEobVsDOBmZNGAgNAgBYKMTmswqA8yq4UbtMnGJhWxvKmeVuRKUwCFqRgQQdCSt~Khb3HQeaFQCWXOdzXmisqP3v0Ne0bJ0CvOq4rGM2d21qkDHkOsJ0liz-0TLpWjAS1ChXYGci5TT8Dkpalw-y~gvAsRhT-C6Tg3IZxeydWAY1gYK9-PMWow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hermosa Beach Planning Commission on May 20 voted 5'0''\u0000 to approve a conditional use permit allowing on-sale beer only at South Bay Golf Club, a 2,445-square-foot virtual-golf facility located in the Hermosa Pavilion at 1601 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 180.

Assistant Planner Johnny Case summarized staff's review and reported that the Police Department did not object to the CUP subject to conditions of approval. Case said staff evaluated the proposal under the CUP findings in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and recommended approval with conditions including limits on hours (9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday'Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday), storage limits (two 3.2-cubic-foot storage areas for canned beer only), and ABC licensing requirements consistent with the General Plan.

Applicant Will Ingram told the commission the business has been operating since November 2024 without alcohol and that offering canned beer would be a modest enhancement to the virtual-golf experience. \"We've been up and running without it, so it's not necessarily crucial to our business as a bar or restaurant might be,\" Ingram said, adding that the facility typically limits customers' time (about 90 minutes per session).

Commissioners questioned whether alcohol service should be limited to patrons using the facility and discussed language to prevent the space from becoming a stand-alone drinking venue when not operating as a golf facility. The commission directed staff to add a condition that alcohol sales be limited to patrons of the business whose primary purpose is to use the golf facility; the applicant said he had no objection to the additional condition.

A motion to adopt staff resolution 25-07 with that added flexibility for staff to craft the enforcement language passed 5'0''\u0000. Staff noted the decision is subject to a 10-day appeal period following the City Council hearing on May 27.","The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing on-sale canned beer only at South Bay Golf Club (1601 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 180), with a 5'0''\u0000vote and a condition limiting alcohol sales to patrons using the facility.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6532170,"Planning Commission continues contentious 3415 Palm Drive hearing after public appeals",514,1694000,2208000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e&start=1694&end=2208","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e/thumbnail_1694000.jpg","/articles/6532170/Hermosa-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Planning-Commission-continues-contentious-3415-Palm-Drive-hearing-after-public-appeals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532170-13ee1d097137af32e51dbaf46cc8b517/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201923&Signature=kzxelfynOT300lmc2UlYxylc98LTGSahDOYIya3D25c0JFlEYb1JqTUBVOdmAcdckJ~37b3es7UAqexT8WQ3Mp8IFWwfAlt6BdFZR9VWYAGaDAIiuLGt-~orKHzJ9noclEmZiclvjnmnhnj1MhUUl-x3oY7X~AWoO~-AhM3BEwHCyRSjiiz4A-WlT51d8GUD3wxNEoKvrqXaLXNNIa3ZGCrPKU2GBWaoC1AFxc0It88mm1SpKGJUZCEhMBuyhvQYHFDzwquK-6Uq321g-fhG3ghY189lXeNcq9n5RmFj~yO5upGABdtIQ3LYtRBgbY~B~OoRkZerwOs1VxfjHGEDpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hermosa Beach Planning Commission on May 20 voted 5'0''\u0000 to continue the public hearing on a proposed project at 3415 Palm Drive to a later date.

Commissioners opened the public hearing on a continuance request after staff confirmed the applicant had requested the delay. Several residents who live near the site urged the commission to preserve neighborhood scale and to seek clearer, more detailed findings should the project proceed.

Diana Bradshaw, who identified her address as 3320 Highland Avenue and said she grew up across the street from the project site, told the commission she would not be able to attend the June hearing and asked the commission to oppose the development. \"I think it's a monster that you're letting into the city,\" she said, adding concerns about zoning, height limits and parking.

Nancy Schwaback, speaking later in the public comment period, thanked staff for outreach and urged staff and the commission to prepare specific written findings addressing areas of conformance and nonconformance with the General Plan and other legal considerations. Schwaback requested that staff explicitly set out, for the public record, where the project does and does not comply with objective standards and how any builder's remedy would affect the commission's options. She referenced potential legal issues that could be considered in review, including CEQA, the Coastal Act and the Mello Act.

Another resident, who said he had sent a letter to the governor, urged more public turnout and attention at the continued hearing.

After hearing public comment the commission acted on a motion to continue the hearing at the applicant's request; the motion carried 5'0''\u0000. No formal project decision or vote on the merits was taken at the May 20 meeting. The continuance preserves opportunity for additional staff analysis and public input at the later hearing date.","The commission granted an applicant-requested continuance to June 17 on a proposed project at 3415 Palm Drive after public commenters urged redesign and detailed findings; the vote was 5'0''\u0000.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6532176,"Planning Commission finds 2025–26 capital improvements plan conforms with general plan",437,1273000,1710000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e&start=1273&end=1710","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3416579-7049599efb155122bc4f78a359f1816e/thumbnail_1273000.jpg","/articles/6532176/Hermosa-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Planning-Commission-finds-202526-capital-improvements-plan-conforms-with-general-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532176-460f912f1e09884e86664a85d2ad5711/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201923&Signature=Y5la0jSgYuSbxOfIAOjW~yNb2JDiFYIhqDeN7pylGc1h~3JD4tQW4J7Tez~xLbn0nrBGgWeYsKqJHf0Bp6yxRMvTsrJ5Av5Q7NIk3BkAh969r19J7amDr0uxpWnAUZusBc3hf8jvtajBTrDNp~qZGfvyu9so9bg~TRi8H46jD-pDKYyyN3nWmjybJ2PyQVSRcUmNIsAPIpA9OMGBuayf3UpvlZmG4mVZShdnR-k9dD7pMGORfbTbTeohZWVzfGfYSgj4aB8VQXpnUWtW6WcGcFDVT3SVRoctiWuaBJtig1yjoFcFCo0aRudoeCnUvocm1xPsqk75fUMURKb8ADblNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission on Tuesday voted 5'0'00 to find the 2025'26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and in conformance with the city's General Plan.

Planning manager Alexis Orpiza described the CIP as the city's comprehensive program for infrastructure and facility improvements and said the 2025'26 program contains 36 projects, 28 carried over from the prior year and eight new projects. Orpiza told the commission the projects address multiple General Plan elements, including mobility, infrastructure, open space and safety; examples noted by staff included pedestrian-safety and ADA improvements, street and sewer repairs, park upgrades, downtown lighting and utility-box art, and early design work for wayfinding signage.

Commissioners asked only clarifying questions and made brief comments about the volume of work and the level of detail presented to the City Council. After the staff presentation the commission opened public comment; no speakers appeared in chambers or online for the item. A commissioner moved to find the CIP in conformance with the General Plan and exempt from CEQA; the motion was seconded and the commission carried it 5'0''00.

Under the commission's purview, the review is limited to consistency with the General Plan; staff emphasized that project scope and budgeting decisions are matters for the City Council. The Planning Commission record notes the CIP's alignment with mobility, infrastructure, open space and safety policies but does not adopt or change project prioritization or budgets.

The action was taken by minute order; no appeal period was announced at the hearing for this specific commission determination.","The Hermosa Beach Planning Commission on May 20 determined the city's 2025'26 Capital Improvement Program is exempt from CEQA and in conformance with the General Plan, voting 5'0'00.","actionData","errors"]
