NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hawthorne does hereby ordain as follows: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Hawthorne hereby incorporates by reference all the recitals herein. Section 2. Section 12.16.150 (Width of driveways) of Chapter 12.28 (Encroachments in public places) of Title 12 (Streets and sidewalks) of the Hawthorne Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows: 12.16.150 Width of driveways.

Section 3. Subsection I of Section 17.20.030 (Permitted intrusions into required yards) of Chapter 17.20 (Supplementary use and bulk requirements for all residential zones) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Hawthorne Municipal Code is hereby partially amended as follows: 17.20.030 Permitted intrusions into required yards. I. 1. No portion of any required front yard may be paved other than to provide the permitted driveway in compliance with Section 17.58.040(I) and to provide a walkway. On residential properties having a ten feet wide driveway, an additional paved walkway is allowed provided the walkway shall not be wider than five feet and shall be separated from the driveway by a landscaped area with a minimum width of five feet. On residential properties having a two car attached garage in the front, the driveway shall not be wider than eighteen feet and an additional paved walkway is allowed provided the walkway shall not be wider than five feet and shall be separated from the driveway by a landscaped area with a minimum width of five feet.

The planning director shall have the right to approve a reduction in the separation between the paved walkway and the driveway and/or to approve a wider driveway, provided the applicant provides evidence of a hardship in complying with the provisions of this section.

No portion of any required front yard or required side yard on the street side of a corner lot shall be utilized at any time for the parking or storage of motor vehicles, airplanes, boats, trailers, mobile homes, or parts thereof, except in that portion of the yard area utilized as a driveway for the principal vehicular access to the required off-street parking area on the premises. Rubbish, junk and garbage and the receptacles therefore may be stored upon the required front or street side yards no longer than twelve hours prior to the regularly scheduled pickup. Both the receptacles and any junk, rubbish and garbage remaining must be removed from front or street side yards, or from the sidewalk or curbline area, within twelve hours after the regularly scheduled pickup. Appliances, tents, clotheslines, furniture, and building, electrical and plumbing materials may not be used or stored upon the required front or side yards.

I. Paved areas. 1. Driveways. No portion of any required front yard or required side yard on the street side of a corner lot shall be utilized at any time for the parking or storage of vehicles except in that portion of the yard area designated as a driveway as defined within this title. 2.

Patios may include walls up to 18 inched in height, plants, stones, fire pits, fountains and water features that use recirculated or reclaimed water, and other permanent features commonly associated with front yard patios, subject to approval of the planning director. Explicitly prohibited in these areas are permanent shade structures (other than trees), canopies and tents, built-in barbeques or bars, storage sheds or cabinets and walls exceeding 18 inches height. J. Garbage receptacles may be stored upon the required front or street side yards no longer than 12 hours prior to the regularly scheduled pickup. Bulk trash items may be placed in the same area not more than 12 hours before a special pickup. Trash receptacles and any uncollected items remaining must be removed from front or street side yards, or from the sidewalk or curb area, within 12 hours after the regularly scheduled pickup. K. Appliances, tents, clotheslines, and building, electrical and plumbing materials may not be used or stored upon the required front or side yards. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to restrict the right of the property owner or lessee to store building, electrical and plumbing materials for use on the premises stored thereon during the time that a valid building, electrical or plumbing permit is in effect for construction on the premises. L. Small structures. The following small structures may be permitted in front yards and street side yards, subject to reasonable limitations on size, height, number and bulk and subject to approval by the planning director: a.

Subsection I of Section 17.58.040 (Development, design and improvement standards) of Chapter 17.58 (Off-street parking) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Hawthorne Municipal Code is hereby partially amended as follows: 17.58.040 Development, design and improvement standards. I. Driveways. 1. Width a. All driveways in R zones shall be not less than 10 ten feet in width at any point and two-way driveways shall be not less than 18 eighteen feet in width; provided, however, that fences, hose bibs, sewer or cleanouts, utilities meters and similar obstructions may protrude not more than 6six inches into such driveways; and provided further, that the minimum width shall be maintained for a vertical distance of not less than 7.5 seven feet six inches at any point. On multi-family developments with 5 five units or more, a two-way driveway, of not less than eighteen feet shall be required, unless the development project has access to and from the alley in which case a one-way driveway shall be permitted to the alley. b. On R-1 zoned lots with detached garages or parking at the rear of the lot, not to exceed 10 feet width, except that an additional 6 feet of width may be permitted for pass-by parking within the front setback area if it can be shown that there is sufficient length to prevent vehicles overhanging into the public right-of-way, and the curb cut width shall not exceed 10 feet except in the case of shared driveways. c. On R-1 zoned lots with attached garages, not to exceed 18 feet width. d. In other residential zones, not to exceed 18 feet width, except when developed with a single-family residence, in which case the standards for the R-1 zone above shall apply. e. In all other zones, not to exceed 30 feet width. 2. Number Parcels 60 sixty feet in width or less shall have a maximum of one driveway which shall have a maximum width of eighteen feet at the curb including the sloped and transition areas of the driveway approach. Parcels greater than 60 sixty feet in width shall have a maximum of 2 two driveways, each of which shall have a maximum width of eighteen feet at the curb including the sloped and transition areas of the driveway approach. 3. Curb cuts. In no case shall the curb cuts for driveways, including the sloped and transition areas, constitute more than 50 fifty percent of the width of the parcel. However, if single-family detached residential condominium units are developed on corner or reverse corner lots, one driveway per unit is permitted with a maximum width of sixteen feet at the curb including the slope and transition areas of the driveway approach. 4 2. All driveways in C and M zones shall be located in accordance with a plan approved by the director of planning. Before approving such plan, the director of planning shall require the driveways to be located so that any vehicle exiting or entering the parking lot shall be clearly visible at a distance of not less than ten feet to a pedestrian approaching such exit or entrance on any pedestrian walk or footpath. 3. The minimum driveway width for exits and entrances to parking lots shall be eighteen feet for two-way driveways and ten feet for one-way driveways. Driveway approaches to parking lots shall be constructed and paved in accordance with specifications on file in the office of the director of public works. 5 4. On parcels located adjacent to anthe alley, no driveway shall be permitted from the street except where two parking spaces are created on-site and directly accessible from the driveway and the placement of the driveway will not eliminate more than one curb-side parking space. Section 5. California Environmental Quality Act Determination. The proposed amendments to the Hawthorne Municipal Code contained herein constitute a project within the scope of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 5 Project (Minor Alternations in Land Use Limitations) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 and thus are exempt from environmental review. This exemption is applicable because the amendment does not change the land uses allowed on areas of slopes greater than 20% and do not change allowable land uses in a manner that could create a potentially significant impact on the environment and because the proposed changes do not alter density or building massing. Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Chapter. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Chapter, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 7. Preparation of Summary. The City Attorney is directed to prepare a “fair and adequate” summary of this ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 36933(c)1. Section 8.
