The public hearing opened at 7:51 P.M. Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:

        Denny Dunlap - appellant, said he and his neighbors were concerned about the overflow parking that would be created by the diner's expansion and its impact on residential streets; said parking on 10th Street, Ocean Drive, Owosso Avenue and Bonnie Brae Street was already impacted by many of the diner's employees, who were parked all day, and its customers, who park there and in the parking lots of other Aviation Boulevard businesses, and then cross the street at the signal to get to the diner;
         Rick Hankus - applicant, said he owned the diner for about 14 years and never had off-street parking until he purchased the building two years ago and removed the barbed wire fencing that had been surrounding the parking area; said the expansion would primarily enlarge the kitchen, and would also add four additional tables and two handicap bathrooms, but would not require the hiring of additional staff; said Aviation Boulevard allowed only one-hour parking Monday through Saturday; said he was willing to put in as much parking as possible and would put up a sign indicating there was parking in the rear;
   
     Lisa Peterson - Hermosa Beach, said she doubted there was room for extra parking in the rear lot; said she had no problem parking her minivan on Aviation Boulevard when she drove to the diner;
   
     Jeannine Bone - Hermosa Beach, said her street was filled with parked cars for the diner, especially on weekends, sometimes parked too close to her driveway, making it difficult for her to back her car out of the garage onto the street;
   
     Craig O'Rourke - Hermosa Beach, said he never had a problem with parking for the diner and thought the extra tables would eliminate some of the wait for seating in the diner and thereby free up parking by shortening the time cars were parked;
   
     Gavin Seacamp - Hermosa Beach, said he has been neighbor of the diner for five years and has never been impacted by parking problems;
   
     Jack Leland - Hermosa Beach business owner, said this was a busy eating establishment, noting that good business was important to the City; said parking was a problem everywhere, including in the area of his business on Ardmore Avenue;
   
     Kathleen Nilsen - Hermosa Beach, expressed parking concerns; said there was no room on the residential streets for any more cars due to the impacts created by this business and others on Aviation Boulevard; asked if there was a bike rack at the diner;
   
     Tony Gingiss - Redondo Beach, said he was a frequent customer of the diner for nearly 10 years and never parked on residential streets; said this was a good business and noted that parking was difficult in all of the South Bay;
        Sean Berry - Hermosa business owner, spoke in support of expanding the diner; said there were parking problems all over the City;
   
     Bert Jones - Hermosa Beach, small business owner and frequent customer of the diner; spoke in support of the request, noting that the expansion would not add any additional employees;
   
     Cathy McCurdy - Hermosa Beach, said she understood the parking concerns of the neighbors, but thought the impact was from other businesses, not the diner; and
   
     Diane Bible - Hermosa Beach, said she had been a customer of the diner since it opened and has never parked across the street in the residential area; said the expansion would not increase the parking problem.

The public hearing closed at 8:29 P.M.

Proposed Action : To approve the expansion of Ocean Diner based on the fact that there was no parking on record as being part of this land and use in existence and the parking plan meets the requirements of staff in the staff report, with the additional condition that the applicant install bike racks if the diner does not already have them.
