Hermosa Beach About Town
PLAN Hermosa set for vote
The Hermosa Beach City Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday evening on whether to adopt its revised General Plan and Local Coastal Program. The documents, known together as PLAN Hermosa, have been in the works for the last four years, and are master planning tools that will guide city ordinances for coming generations. Although much of the plan has passed through the vetting process without comment, segments on sustainability and historic preservation generated significant public concern. The document on which council members will vote Tuesday mostly deferred to public sentiment in removing the more controversial aspects.
The public hearing will take place at the regularly scheduled council meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in City Council chambers. Copies of the plan are available for review at the city’s Community Development Department, Library, and Community Center, and on the city’s web site at: http://www.hermosabch.org/index.aspx?page=767
