ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSZON
Environmental Assessment.
The Community Development Department has determined that the
project could not have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and is on file
in the Community Development Department and the office of the
City Clerk.
Staff analysis of this proposed lot consolidation include the
following findings: (a) Design of the proposed site; and (b)
Consistency of the proposed site with the General Plan.
Confiquration Of The Proposed Site Consolidation
a. The design of the proposed lot consolidation shows the
consolidated lots to be in character with existing commercial
developments in the area.
b. The proposal is meant for the consolidation of seven lots
into one in order to allow better utilization of the
property.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed
density of the development permitted by the General Plan and
zoning ordinance in that the parcels are substantially flat
and able to support the type of development proposed.
Consistency Of The Site With The General Plan
a. Staff's inspection shows the site to be compatible with the
City of Lynwood's General Plan as the General Plan limits
land use activities to those projects that enhance the func-
tion and quality of commercial developments without altering
significantly the character of the existing environment.
b. The size and location of the proposed project does not sig-
nificantly change the character of the existing environment.
c. The proposed consolidation is consistent with the Zoning
classification of minimum Lot sizes in the C-3 (Heavy
Commercial zone and the General Plan designation of
commercial .

3630 Imperial Highway (Ricarda Bennet)
Mr. Fenderson introduced Mr. Barfield, who distributed
additional information to the Commissioners and read
pertinent information.
Condition No. 14, on page 4 of Resolution No. 2315, was
corrected to read "southwest" instead of "southeast."
Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing.
Ricarda Bennet, 148 Gazina Court, Thousand oaks, rose to
state their acceptance of all conditions. Bud Nelson,
helicopter pilot, accompanied her to answer any questions.
Ms. Bennet explained the need for the heliport for emergency '
services by the Sheriff's Department, Fire Department and St.
Francis Hospital. Said heliport will be on the roof of the
hospital building now under construction and was always
planned to be part of the total hospital complex. At
present, helicopters must land either in the street or in the
park, and the heliport will totally remove the helicopters ,
from the streets and the park, thus eliminating any possible
danger for citizens of Lynwood.
Commissioner McMiller asked if St. Francis Hospital is a
trauma center. Bud Walter, in the audience, rose to state
that it is not, and no plans exist to make it so.
Commissioner McMiller then asked how many helicopters the
heliport will accommodate, and Ms. Bennet replied that it
will be built to accommodate one, but could hold two if
necessary.
All Commissioners, Ms. Bennet, Mr. Nelson and staff discussed
emergency evacuations, emergency medical care at St. Francis
Hospital, Martin Luther King Hospital and UCLA Medical Center
and possible usage by Lynwood citizens of all of the above
pertaining to the proposed heliport. It was agreed that use
of the heliport in emergency cases will be free but the
helicopters are privately owned, like ambulances, and those
private companies will charge those who use their services.
It was established that St. Francis Hospital stabilizes
emergency patients before transferring them elsewhere. The
landing staff will be provided by St. Francis Hospital.
Ms Bennet stated approval of the heliport has been granted by
the Aeronautical Division of the Traffic Department of
California.

Chairperson Dove stated that a trauma center is need'ed in
Lynwood. Commissioner Cole-Dennis agreed, stating that she
would like to see more benefit to the City of Lynwood from
heliport.
Commissioner Haynes asked Mr. Nelson about the flight plans
-- - and it was established that helicopters will not fly over
residential areas. -
Commissioner Muhsin asked about the noise capacity of the
helicopters. Ms. Bennet replied that a noise test had been
performed by Miles and Simpson on the BK 1, a twin-engine
helicopter provided by Life Lite, which will probably be the
helicopter used by St. Francis Hospital and which has a noise
level of 70 to 85 DEA. At this point, Ms Bennet approached
the Commissioners and discussed the different helicopters
with pictures provided to the Cnmmissioners earlier by mr.
Barfield. It was established that the peak noise level of a
helicopter lasts 20 seconds and helicopters must take off
' into the wind, which is generally southwest in Lynwood.
Commissioner Muhsin then asked about the comparative costs of
ambulances versus helicopters. Ms. Bennet didn't know about
the cost of ambulances, but she said the cost of a helicopter
is about $400 per hour while the rotor is turning.
,' Commissioner Haynes also discussed the cost.
There being no one in the audience wishing to speak in favor
of, or in opposition to the proposal, Chairperson Dove closed
the Public Hearings.
MOTION by Commissioner Muhsin, SECONDED by Commissioner
McMiller, to approve Resolution No. 2315, "A RESOLUTION OF
