TO: CITY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: Kenrick Karefa-Johnson, Director Community Development Department ' SUB,7ECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 9. Parkland (QuimbV) Imoact Fees City Wide PROPOSAL City staff is proposing to amend Chapter 25, the official Zoning Ordinance, by deleting sections 25-18.17 (Park Land Dedication) and amending Chapter 24, the official subdivision Ordinance, by adding Section 24-8, which will impose Parkland fees on new residential development of (3) three or more units that require the approval of a tract, parcel, or subdivision map. These fees will be used to generate funds which can be earmarked for the upgrading and expansion of Parkland which will be impacted as a result of such development. I BACKGROUND � Since the passage of Proposition 13 many communities have turned i to new development projects in recouping or offsetting the cost to accommodate such development. The use of Quimby fees as � established by State Law, has been a method in which cities have � received monetary compensation or land dedication in an effort to � � obtain additional open space for parkland or to maintain existing , parkland. (Attached is a copy of local requirement for park and i recreation dedication {Quimby Act} as stated in California State i Government Code Section 66477). i ISSUES'AND ANALYSIS: � In recent months, Planning Staff has reviewed parkland (Quimby) i fees established and used by other cities throughout the State, I including fee structures and the rationale for their use. In addition, Staff also surveyed these same cities to determine if � such fees would have a negative impact on development that would be subject to these fees. The survey revealed that the development in these Cities did not result in a reduction of ' development activity as a result of the imposed fees. Therefore, � proposal of such fees in the City of Lynwood would not effect ' development in the City. ; The following chart is comparison of those cities that use the I I , provisions of the Quimby Act, versus the existing conditions of 1 the City of Lynwood. Used in the survey are the cities of I Corona, Cudahy, Culver City, Irvine, Norwalk, and Roseville. The � acres per 1000 population range from 3.0 to 5.0. ' i ACRES PER 1000 POPULATZON � � 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 ; Corona * i Cudahy * Culver City * � Irvine * Lynwood * Norwalk * ; Roseville * ; I disk76:impact4 � .' I 1 I I Staff believes, that the City of Lynwood is currently deficient in existing parkland; both in actual acres and goal orientation. Based on the 1990 census figures for population at 59,740 and the 50 acres of existing city parks; the city has 1.0 acres of parkland per 1000 population. the State recommended and desired level for parkland is 2.5 acres per 1000 population. This level has been established as a goal in the open space/conservation element of the Lynwood General Plan. To date, the City would need an additional 75 acres of parkland to reach that goal. In view of the above, Planning Staff has determined that such a method to obtain fees or land for parks should be established to address the deficient acreage of open space (parkland) that exists in Lynwood. The proposed Ordinance Amendment includes the requirement of direct payment to the City or dedication of land in lieu of payment for residential development. Where applicable, the City Council may supplement the monies that were normally allocated from the general fund to the Department of Park and Recreation for the maintenance and upgrading of park facilities. The ordinance would only apply to tract or parcel maps involving (3) three or more units. As mentioned these funds would be used for the acquisition and maintenance of new and existing parkland � space and facilities. As the City is facing total build-out, the primary type of contribution will be the in lieu fee, which has been calculated by staff with the formula used in the provisions of the State Quimby Act. The formula and factors in the formula determination I are as follows: � Factor Justification/Authori� 2.5 acres =.0025 Number of acres needed for park and recreation facilities for every 1000 resident of � Lynwood (California State I Government Code Section 66477). � 1,000 Residents Number of residents per acre (California State Code Section I 66477). Population Density = 4.1 1990 estimated figures number • � of person living in Lynwood divided by number of occupied � units (1990 census) Los � Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, 1989). , $250,000 Value of Parkland Appraised value. I Number of Units Determined by Developer. I Formulas � I Acres x value of Parkland Appraised valued. � .0025 x$250,000 x 4.1 x 1=$2562.50 per unit Quimby Fee � Applicable to (3) three units or � mbre. This figure will constitute that in lieu fee that will be paid by I the developer. disk76:impact-2 . � i 2 I • The following formula determine the average required for dedication the formula is as follows: , Acres x population density x number of units = amount of land .0025 x 4.1 x 1=.0103 acres for each unit (amount of land) The developer shall be required dedicate land and/or pay the in lieu fee or both at the time of approval of the subdivision map. If no units are proposed at the time of approval of the map, the developer will pay the fee or dedicate land when the land is developed Use of Fees• The Quimby Act requires that the collected fees be used within a five-year period or be returned to the developer. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Staff has found no substantial environmental impact that will result from the proposed ordinance amendment; therefore, a Negative declaration has been filed in the Community Development Department and is on file at the office of the City Clerk.

FROM: Kenrick Karefa-Johnson, Director Community Development Department SUB,7ECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. ZOA 10 Planned Residential Development Zone, City Wide. � Pronosal• � The Staff is proposing to amend Section 25-4.8 (c) of Chapter 25, the official Zoning Ordinance with respect to Planned Residential Development zones. The ordinance proposes to reduce the minimum area for inclusion in a P-R-D zone from five (5) acres to one (1) ! acre�for new residential development. � Zssues and Analvsis: A recent land use analysis of residential development in the City of Lynwood shows that there are no sites 5 acres or.more in size that can utilize the section for P-R-D zones. It is the intent I of this proposed amendment to reduce the minimum area for I inclusion in a P-R-D zone to increase the possibility for single family residential development. The application of the current � ordinance on P-R-D zones is no longer practical as the city of ; Lynwood is at a stage of maximum build out. I Staff has been approached by two developers, interested in I constructing single family homes. The first proposal is for (13) thirteen units and the second for (10) ten units. Both sites total approximately one acre. if the proposed ordinance amendment is adopted, these developments if realized, will increase the City's single family housing stock by (23) twenty- three units. This is consistent with the goals and policies of � the Aousing Element of the General Plan, and with the land use ! element as it relates to the increase of area for single family residential land use development. The plan calls for replacement of single family homes, eliminated by the construction of the Glen Anderson, I 105 freeway. The General Plan land use survey of residentially designated i vacant land, indicates that of the total 81 acres, 26� is I designated single family 48� is designated Townhouse and Cluster . Housing and 26� is designated Multi-Family Residential. Further, none of the existing vacant residential land has the equivalent 1 of (5) five acres as required by Section 25-4.8 of the P-R-D I zone. (see attachment No. 3 for more detail). Because the P-R-D zone is an overlay zone which can be utilized in all residential zones, adoption of the proposed amendment will increase singl.e family housing stock in the R-1 (Single Family) R-2 (Two-Family), and R-3 (MUlti-Family) residential zones and will also decrease ' opportunities for Multi-Family residential development. � I � ( ( � disk78:amend � � I I 1 � I ' I :.a Environmental Assessment: Staff has found no substantial environmental impact that will result from the proposed ordinance amendment; therefore, a Negative Declaration has been filed in the Community Development � Department and is on file at the office of the City Clerk. Recommendation Staff respectfully requests, that after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No 2352. A. Finding that Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. l0, will not have a significant effect on the environment and certifying the Negative Declaration as adequate. B. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in I Resolution No. 2352 waive the reading and introduce the proposed ordinance. i I Prepared By: .C� �-� ��hOYJ�`{ � Reviewed By: (��-� —��— Attachments 1.

I i � I disk78:amerd I � 2 t� SURVEY ON VACANT RESIDENTIAL LAND The Planning Staff was approached by two developers interested in constructing single family homes. The proposed developments are located on Carlin Avenue and Los Flores Avenue and the sites are about 1 acre or more. Staff decided to review all existing vacant land to identify vacant land of 5 acres or more, as required by Section 25-4.8 relating to Planned Residential Development and viewed this as an opportunity to further the goals of the City Council by increasing single family residential development. Much of the current vacant land is located south of Imperial Highway presently designated for school expansion (proposed Lynwood Senior High School). In addition 19 acres in the western� portion of the city have been earmarked for the County Regional � Justice Center. Upon staff's field investigation and inspection of residential vacant land, it was disclosed that the majority of the city's residentially vacant land is comprised of excess California Department of transportation properties adjacent to the new Century Freeway (I-105). The purpose of this survey was to verify the existing vacant land for residential development within the City of Lynwood, through , use of the land use survey as provided by Cotton /Beland/ Associates, June 1989, (see attached map). There are only 170 acres (5$) of vacant land within the City of Lynwood. Eighty-one 81 acres of the 170 acres of the vacant land is zoned for residential uses, (none of the vacant residential zoned land equals 5 acres of contiguous land). The current General Plan only designates an additional 2 acres of land for residential I uses. Because the P-R-D zone is an overlay zone which can be utilized I in all residential zones, adoption of the proposed amendment will increase the single family housinq stock in all residential � zones. R-1 (Single Family) R-2 (Two Family), and R-3 (Multi- Family). Also once the P-R-D zone land use requirement is reduced from 5 acres to 1 acre, it will decrease opportunities � for Multi-Family residential housing in the city. See table 1 for vacant acres by Zoninq/General Plan cateqory. TABLE 1 . VACANT ACREB BY ZONIN(i/(iENERAL PLAN CATEGORY � New .

The additional two acres is accounted for by the deletion of two acres from the vacant nonresidential use. � I I i � i I I I I � I i � i I � i I � � • I � I � � � disk78:zoa-10 I I � � � 2 � I � • I � . -aeee q�..=� r anaa ' q. ,aeeco . i "/,.,,,vi�.7 � ' � � ..aaao�o i $ �/// � i.� ' � .' �^^� ' //j ' J �: � . p � 96L0r ➢ ' . � M� .% �'� se� :� jiCC> 2 p0�., w • � . r�i/�4 �4 /; Y i y � 7 �.+�' s� � i �.5' . � : i . �. ��i��i 1• i�,�d tn iNTlBw u" >.. � 1 � � �.� �� I ,� �''� () � . -�::> nya+ w+HP°�.'�.y �� nnlne rSiJ � � .�Y6�� '�'• � ,�'. �� 44 IM1tlll . aY�� , �:�J � � .

Background• A primary goal of the Community Design Element in the Lynwood General Plan is to eliminate aspects of the City's image which are less desirable. At present, along some commercial and industrial corridors, razor and barbed wire on fences and blockwalls are noticeable from street view. The elimination of this kind of exposure is the purpose of this ordinance amendment. ' Issues and Analvsis: The Zoning Ordinance currently contains language which allows razor and barbed wire to be located within (20) twenty feet of the street right of way if it is screened from street view. This' has turned out to be a potential code enforcement problem as many businesses are not complying with the ordinance. The new ordinance does not allow barbed or razor wire within (20) twenty feet of a main corridor. It also prohibits chicken wire in conjunction with any fence or wall or by itself. This should eliminate problems with new business establishments. However, there are businesses which have existed prior to any ordinance regulating defensive wire (pre - 1985). These businesses would be considered having legal non-conforming fencing which would be grandfathered. Environmental Assessment: The Community Development Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt, pursuant to Section 15061 b(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality Act as amended. Recommendation: Staff respectfully requests that after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2359 1. Certifying that the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines as amended by Section 15061 b(3). I 2. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in Resolution NO. 2359 waive the reading and introduce the � proposed ordinance amendment. � i I I disk77:zone ' � � i I I I _ , . 1 1!' l Attachments: 1.

Zonina Ordinance Amendment No. 10 i City of Lynwood I Staff proposes to amend Chapter 25 as related to razor and I barbed wire on fences and blockwalls visible from street view. Chairperson Haynes opened the Public Hearing. Mrs. Margaret Araujo rose to state her opinion that people who drive by those businesses (like those on Lonq Beach Boulevard) using razor and barbed wire will never want to stop to shop in Lynwood because of the negative picture this presents to out-of-towners. She also stated that those presently using those fences should not be permitted to "qrandfather in" this usage, thereby continuing to present a negative picture of Lynwood. She wanted all usage of these fences discontinued. _ There being no one else in the audience, Chairperson Haynes closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner pove suggested perhaps these fences could be hidden under vines or by hedges planted between them and the sidewalk. Both Chairperson Haynes and Commissioner Pryor were of the opinion that businesses must be allowed to protect their properties since Lynwood simply doesn't have enough police. It was agreed by both that businesses can be burqlarized out of business. Commissioner Muhsin said he didn't like to see the razor and barbed wire and Commissioner Pryor reminded him that both his car and his truck had been stolen. Mr. Barnes sugqested the Commissioners might consider bringinq this item back next month to giva staff time to find a solution amenable to both factions.
