Source of Authoritv. ! While Section 25.4.14 of the Lynwood Municipal Code regulates I additions in all residential zones, Section 25-26 requires ! that a Variance be obtained from the Planning Commission � when, because of the special circumstances applicable to the ' property, the strict application of the 2oning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by'other property in the vicisiity and under identical 2oning classification. 2. Propertv Location and Si�e � � The site is located on tfiie West side of Vieta Avenue between Fernwood and Cortland Avenues. (Refer to the attached I location map). It is rectangular in shape and measured at ' approximately 8,345.6 scp�are feet (130.4'x64'). � 3.

Granting the variance request would allow the applicant to • construct a two (2) story 560 square foot addition consisting of two bedrooms, two baths and a family room. 6. Site Plan Review At its regudar meeting of March 22, 1990, the Site Plan Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval to the Planning Commission subject to specific conditions and requirements. 7. 2onina Enforcement Historv None of record. 8. Neiahborhood Response None of record at the time of preparation of the staff report. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION: 1. Consistencv with General Plaa , The proposed land use is consistent with the existing Zoning classification R-2 and the General Plan designation of Single Family Housing. 2. Site Suitabilitv The property is adequate in size to accommodate the proposed addition. However, given current development standards relative to parking, driveways, open space, and landscaping, there is an inabi2ity to provide the required parking on the site, therefore requiring a variance to be considered for the , project. 3. Comoatibilitv r - The proposed addition is compatible with other structures on neighboring properties. 4. Compliance with Develo�ment Standards ' Specific Findings: The property is a lot with exceptional and extraordinary - circumstances due to current development, resulting in a hardship with respect to city development standards, �particularly, parking requirements. Granting the variance application would allow the applicant to develop his property as other property owners in the same � vicinity that have duplexes and required parking. Granting of this Variance would not set a precedent in the City that would eventually result in increased construction � of this nature. � diskb5:vari7 � ^ 2 , Granting the application would allow the property owner to � enjoy the same rights as other property owners in the vicinity without constituting special privileges. 5.

Granting the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site or general welfare because it would not likely set a precedent encouraging such development in the neighborhood. D. Granting the application is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, in that it will allow a project which does meet the City's development standards circumstances. E.

Citv-Wide (ZOA #81. Proposal• The staff is pro.posing to amend Chapter 25, the official Zoning and Sign Ordinance with respect to regulation of off-premises � freestanding freeway oriented signs; city-wide. Backcrround• In recent months the City Council of the City of Lynwood has established moratoriums and amended its sign ordinance to reflect a new city image with respect to allowable signage within the city. This amendment is consistent with the above stated efforts. Issues and Analysis: On December 5, 1989, the City Council established a moratorium on the erection and installation of off-premises freestanding signs. The purpose was to design a fee structure ' which upon implementation, would generate funds to cover expenses i of monitoring and controlling the proliferation of such signs. In past years, the City has purchased property along the Glen I Anderso, Z-105 freeway, to be used as parkland. Zn addition, it is the desire of the City Council to allow construction of freeway oriented off-premises signs, by leasing land to billboard companies. The proposed amendment to the existing ordinance includes the ' requirement of billboard license fees to be assessed in a manner consistent with the municipal code. And includes changes in relation to location and zoning as any newly constructed signage along the freeway must comply with State law as described by the State Department of Transportation. ' Environmental Assessment: The proposed amendment is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3) and the notice of exemption has been placed on file in the Community Development . Department, and the office of the City Clerk. Recommendation Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2326. 1.

Conditional Use Permit No. 40 (CUP 40) 12540 Atlantic Avenue (Aubrey Gray) Applicant requests approval to operate an auto repair service and youth training center. Mr. Fenderson introduced Mr. Omoruyi, who read pertinent information. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Applicant Aubrey Gray, 4046 Lugo Avenue, Lynwood, rose to object to the required parking spaces, he said the three previous businesses located in the same spot hadn't been required to provide additional parking, and one of the previous owners ran an auto shop. He said he can't borrow any more money to buy any more land, besides, he can't find anyone who will sell him any adjacent property. Mr. Fenderson stated there simply aren't enough parking spaces to run an auto shop retail auto parts store and youth training program. He suggested Mr. Gray negotiate with someone nearby who has extra parking spaces. Mr. Fenderson said fifteen parking spaces were needed and the City is . willing to settle for twelve, but no lower than that. (with the use of an adjustment) Mr. Gray said the car repairing business (with 4-5 employees) will occupy the building from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., high school students will train every other night from 6:00 p.m. , to 9:00 p.m., and auto parts will be for sale from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 pm. Further, he tried to locate the owner of the � property across from his building and has been unable to do so. Mr. Fenderson said staff will be glad to help him locate the property owner. Chairperson Pryor asked Mr. Gray if he would be willing to scrap the youth training proqram if it would help him get the ' Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Gray said he would rather keep the youth training program, but he won't be paid for training the students and he has to make a living so he would drop the , youth training program if forced to do so. The discussion continued for some time, with Commissioners , Cole-Dennis, Dove and Pryor trying to find some way the youth program could be retained. Commissioner Cole-Dennis suggested that staff and Mr. Gray work together to find a solution and return with this item on May 8, 1990, the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission, and all agreed this would be best. Mr. Gray said he would have preferred that the matter be , settled at this meeting, without any provisions for parking, because he needs the money that will accrue from him business. Chairperson Dove did not close the Public Hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Pryor, SECONDED by Commissioner Cole- Dennis, to continue Conditional Use Permit No. 40 (CUP 40) to the May 8, 1990, meeting of the Planning Commission. mindisk8:min14 3 : B � � MOTION carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner pove, Cole-Dennis, Muhsin, Pryor NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Haynes, Willis, McMiller ABSTAIN: • None Commissioner Pryor reminded staff that people have been parking in front of this location for at least 38 years.

Commissioner Cole-Dennis said, considering the number of letters received by the City from neighbors in opposition, that there might be a parking problem. She would rather wait until the applicant could be present to answer questions. Mr. Barfield said he didn't think there would be a parking problem because parking was not congested on the street at the time of fiel.d sweeps.
