Another shot for Hermosa residents to talk Pier Avenue plans

Unless you live under a million-dollar rock in Hermosa Beach, you probably already know the city is moving along with plans to overhaul its main drag, Pier Avenue.

Residents, business owners and other stakeholders have another chance to weigh in on the plans Tuesday, when the city's Planning Commission is set to debate zoning elements of the plan.

Here's just a sampling of some of the things the body will consider:

• Modified permitted and conditional uses to promote pedestrian friendly, resident-serving daytime uses

• Architectural aspects like building height, setbacks, design standards and parking locations

• Requiring buildings to have storefront facades that encourage street interaction

• Reducing chain store-like architecture

You can read more about the plans on the city's web site.

And for a refresher, check out the final report drafted by the committee that developed conceptual plans for Pier Avenue.

So, what do you think about these things? Tell the commissioners at 7 p.m., at City Hall, 1315 Valley Dr., at 7 p.m.
