Frustrating new rules make it difficult for long time mom & pop owners maintain their properties. There should be additional guest permit allowance and also allowance for non-resident owners to pull a permit.
I agree with Marc. Hermosa Beach rules, regulations and restrictions are out of hand. Its such a turn off and bad look for the city.
In 2024 in North Hermosa we never saw Parking Enforcement at all, not once. Therefore our residential permits and guests permits were useless and we paid for each one of them. In other word those without permits parked for free during the entire enforcement period !!!
Exactly…very frustrating and hope that changes this year!
These ridiculous requirements now have made it impossible for non- resident owners like ourselves to obtain a parking pass. We only purchased this property that has no garage nor driveway due to the ability to buy street parking passes. We pay an absorbent amount in HB property taxes & cannot even park our car near our property! Such a joke and now considering selling. Please consider the property owners city council!
As a grandparent, it’s really inconvenient to visit with your grandchildren. There should be permits for extended families.
My parents live in Hermosa Beach and own some rental property in the permit areas. It is impossible to find parking to work on the properties without being able to use a permit. They are 80 years old and cannot walk 5 blocks carrying heavy tools.
