Staff has requested that 'the Commission find that Conditiona.l Use Permit 87081 will not have a significant effect on the environment and approve said permit.

A short discussion followed, with Mr. Mas stating With the City's policy is to ask for block wall fencing new construction in the R-2 and R-3 zones. He stated that newer block wall fences are reinforced. Commissioner Pryor stated that wood deteriorates and Mr. Mas agreed. Mr. Fears stated that surrounding properties all have chain link fences. Commissioner Pryor replied that chain link fences do not serve as buffers or offer f � any privacy. Commissioner pove stated that block wall I� fencing adds to the total property value. DISK 22:PLANCOMM 4 � I ,' � Chai'_�person • ka inquired about the cor• ct location of the �roperty. She thought the lot would be the first one at the intersection of Bullis/Lynwood Road. Ms. Tilford remarked that the assessors map shows it as the second lot from the corner of Lynwood & Bullis Road. Mr. Mas explained that houses were demolished for the freeway, because a much wider freeway was planned than was � actually built, therefore, CALTRANS has been selling some of the properties it acquired for the freeway. Chairperson 'Kanka asked if California l�o r�heirprevious CALTRANS offer to sell the property owner, before selling to someone else. Mr. Mas said he thought the property should have been offered first to the City of Lynwood, second, to the school district, and thirdly, to the previous oWni�•W uld been� to purchase the property, public auction. There beinq no one wishing to speak for or against the • Conditional Use Permit application, Chairperson Kanka closed the Public Hearing: Commissioner Pryor stated that six foot block fences should not be mandatory on single family residences, although he believed they should be constructed with multiple units. Mr. Fears stated that although the surrounding properties are all zoned R-2, only single family dwellings are on the properties have chain link fences, or dilapidated wood fences. There was a discussion relative to whether CALTRANS acted properly in selling the subject site before contacting the previous owner.

Another circle will be created each time a new market is built in the City. Mr. Chavira then asked what happens when circles originating in two different cities overlap and Mr. Mas replied that dominance will probably be dictated by the location of the supermarket.

Mr. Barnes� stated that each supermarket is required to � have one recyclinq center.

Commissioner pove stated he was ambivalent about the subaect, but he did not want anything that would cause a rod'ent problem, and he considers recycling a good idea.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED RECYCLING ORDINANCE--AB 2020 CASE N0. 87079 PROPOSAL This is a proposed ordinance to amend the Lynwood Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance to specify conditions and procedures for permitting recycling facilities in the City. i BACKGROUND This matter was continued from the November 10, 1987 meeting of the 'Planning Commission, in order that the City Attorney could review the ordinance and provide more restrictive standards. FACTS The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (AB 2020) was passed in 1986. The Act establishes a beverage � container recycling program in California by requiring a one-cent � deposit on all containers and the establishment of Certified Recycling Centers for the redemption of the containers. At least one Certified Recycling Center is to be established within a Convenience Zone. Convenience Zones are the areas within a half ' mile radius of any supermarket that conducts $2 million, or more, a year in business. There are six (6) Convenience Zones in ' , Lynwood. The.consumer started to � � pay the deposit on October 1, 1987, and a11 .Convenience Zones are to have at least one Certified ; , Recycling Center by January 1, 1988, or the stores selling beverages are to redeem the cont,ainers or pay a daily fine. Recycling centers can take many forms, varying from the unmanned � reverse vending machine to a parked semi-trailer manned by an attendant. Because of the variety of types and the potential for noise, traffic corigestion, loss of parking, litter, vandalism, ; and an undesirable visual impact, the proposed ordinance provides standards to regulate recycling facilities. , ISSUES AND ANALYSIS The proposed ordinance is designed to promote recycling of � , beverage containters and to make redemption convenient for consumers. In addition, the City recognizes that a program of Disk 8:AB2020 . 1 � � . �_ . . � � permitting and regulating such uses will allow convenient recycling facilities, while minimizing potential negative impacts , to the community. The ordinance defines the various types of recycling facilities, making important distinctions between reverse vending machines, mobile recycling units, small collection facilities, large collection facilities, and processing facilities. The Lynwood Municipal Code is amended to allow certain types of recycling facilities within th'e CB-1 (Controlled Business) zone, provided the specified criteria and standards are met and administrative approval is granted by the Community Development Director. Recycling facilities permitted within this zone include reverse vending machines and small collection facilities. Small collection facilities include bulk reverse vending machines or a grouping of reverse vending machines, kiosk type units, unattended containters for donation, and mobile units. The criteria and standards, and the Conditional Use Permit requirement, have been established to prevent potential negative impacts to surrounding areas. These impacts may include traffic congestion, parking, noise, aesthetics, vandalism, and litter. The ordinance addresses large scale recycling operations, allowing them in the Manufacturing (M) zone. These facilities include large collection facilities and processing facilities. "� I Standards are specified for these facilities so that negative impacts to surrounding uses are minimized. Site Plan Review Committee approval will be required prior to a , public hearing for a Conditional Use Permit before the Planning Commission. � ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposal is covered by the general rule that there is no possibility that the ordinance amendment will have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, it is not subject to the , provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended [Section 15061 (b) (3)]. I RECOMMENDATION I , Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 2153: a. Finding that the proposed amendment is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended. I b.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Preliminary Plan is to provide general direction to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency in the formulation and development of a Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. 3 to Redevelopment Project "A". This Preliminary Plan will set the basic parameters and establish guidelines to be followed in the preparation and implementation of a Redevelopment Plan for the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Lynwood Redevelopment Project "A". The preliminary goal of the Preliminary Plan is to create the framework for enhancing the character of the community through the revitalization of existing uses and the develop ment of compatible uses. Although the redevelopment and transition of some land uses are anticipated and necessary, the basic land use character of the area will remain. i The Preliminary Plan proposes to upgrade the current physical elements of properties and structures in the project area which are presently under-utilized -or improperly utilized due to blighted conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, inadequate infrastructure and public improvements, deterioration or disuse due to irregular and inadequate lot layouts and depths, insufficient public parking, traffic congestion, the prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments, economic dislocation and maladjustment which cannot be remedied.without redevelopment. Other negative influences include unsafe or non-functional buildings due to aging, defective construction, faulty spacing, overcrowding, inadequate open space and mixed and shifting uses. This plan outlines basic conditions hindering improvement and deterring the City's commercial corridors from achieving a quality equal to the quality residential neighborhoods that lie adjacent to the proposed project area. It explores ways to protect these established residential environments, focuses on ways to revitalize the community's commercial corridors in such a manner that will improve the City's visual quality image and enhance the quality of life for the local residents. � � 1 ,. i " . . :;: I r.: .� . � � d) Shows that the proposed Redevelopment Project con- forms to the Lynwood General Plan. e) Describes, generally, the impact of the proposed project upon residents thereof and upon4the surrounding neighborhoods. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT AREA The boundaries of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Lynwood Redevelopment Project "A" are illustrated in the map attached hereto, labeled Exhibit "A". The legal description of the proposed Project Area is attached hereto as Exhibit �� IIZ. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAND USE The Land Use Element of the Lynwood General Plan presents the City's objectives and policies on the location and character of land uses necessary for orderly growth and development. As a basis for the revitalization of the Project Area in conformance with the City's Land Use � Element, it is proposed that, in general, the following ' categories of land i:se can be permitted in the locations and the extent set forth in the City's General Plan: 1. Commercial -° 2. Residential 3. Industrial 4. Public Uses IV. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS As a basis for improving the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the layout of principal streets and those streets to be developed will conform to the Circulation Element of the Lynwood General Plan. Existing streets within the Project Area may be closed, vacated, widened or otherwise modified, and additional streets may be created as necessary for proper pedestrian and/or vehicle circulation. V. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED POPULATION With the present General Plan land use designation of primarily commercial for the Project Area, new residential uses are not anticipated. Existing residential uses within the proposed Project Area are anticipated to transition to commercial use over time. , �, 3 ; fi ; ,. J � I f ' ) � .. �i) • • 1 VI. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING INTENSITIES The standards for building intensity shall be established in accordance with those contained in the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan of the City of Lynwood. As a basis for the revitalization of the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the building intensity will be guided by the City General Plan Zoning Regulations, which have been established to achieve the following objectives: 1. To enhance residential rehabilitation and maintenance , within the City. 2. To provide appropriately located areas for office use, retail stores, service establishments, and wholesale business offering commodities and services required by residents of the City and its surrounding market areas. 3. To encourage commercial, industrial, and related uses to concentrate, for the convenience of the public and for a more mutual beneficial relationship with each other. 4. To minimize traffic congestion and to avoid overloading of utilities by preventing construction of bUildings of excessive size in relation to the amount of land around them. 5. To promote high standards of site planning, architec ture and landscaping design for office and general commercial developments within the City of Lynwood. 6. To provide more opportunities for design flexibility than otherwise occur under conventional commercial zoning regulations. 7. To provide specific development standards needed for the orderly transition of residential land uses within the commercial General Plan Designation. VII. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING STANDARDS� It is proposed that the building standards should conform to the building requirements of applicable State statutes, and Los Angeles County and City of Lynwood codes and ordinances. 4 ; , ; i .. . • o VIIZ. ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW The proposed revitalization of the Amendment Area would attain the purposes of the California Health & Safety Code (Sections 33000 et. seq.)• The purpose of this section is to provide a general description of the physical, social, and economic conditions presently existing within the proposed Foothill Boulevard Redevelopment Project. Health & Safety Code Section 33030 acknowledges that in many cities and counties there are areas which are either physically, socially, or economically in need of assistance, and as such require improvements in the interest of the health, safety and general welfare of the peop�le of such areas. These areas are characterized by one or �more of the conditions set forth in Health & Safety Code Secttions 33031 and 33032, which cause a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it cannot , reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. The law establishes two (2) broad categories of these conditions, one citing a declining physical environment which tends to diminish the quality of life for neighborhood residents, and the second describing a depressed economic environment resulting largely from insufficient development efforts and inadequate public improvements. The physical environment is characterized by the existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for living, commercial, or other purposes, or any combination of such uses, which may be characterized by any one or a combination of the following factors: (a) Defective design and character of physical '. construction. {b) Faulty interior arrangement and exterior spacing. (c) High density of population and overcrowding. (d) Inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces, and recreational facilities. , (e) Age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character, or shifting of uses. The economic environment is characterized by properties displaying one or more of the following conditions: i 5 l . - - I ' I ___ .. , � + (a) The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development. (b) The layout out of lots in disregard of the contours and other topography or physical characteristics of the ground and surrounding conditions. (c) The existence of inadequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or public sectors without initiating revitalization efforts. (d) A prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments, and social and economic mal- adjustment. Generally, the Amendment Area is characterized by public facilities which require substantial upgrading as a result of an aging strip commercial corridors, industrial and residential areas. These deficient facilities include streets, lighting, gutters, storm drains, drainage lines, water lines, and sewer lines. Some commercial areas are currently served by narrow streets which have substandard paving. The growing obsolescence of these existing pub]!ic facilities has an adverse impact on the quality of life for residents within the Project Area. Portions of the Amendment Area are characterized by mixed and incompatible land uses, which reflects a general lack of cohesiveness and unity. In some areas, incompatible uses are located adjacent to residential properties without proper screening or landscaping to mitigate the negative effects of such non-compatible land uses. There are a number of properties scattered throughout the Project Area which suffer from inadequate setbacks as a result of unconventional lot splits. This occurrence has led to the sale and development of properties which are of irregular shape and insufficient size for a proper, functional development. Under-utilized properties and structures exhibiting deferred maintenance are seen in portions of the Amendment Area. In some cases, these instances of deferred maintenance may be attributed to absentee landlords who are unable or unwilling to devote adequate attention to their properties. 3 , 6 ; , i . I � � � � " � ,.4 . � � Many of the properties within the Amendment Area are well maintained and are only in need of improved public infrastructure facilities; however, there are properties scattered throughout the Amendment Area which clearly exhibit signs of physical and economic decline. The deferred maintenance evident in these properties constitutes a threat to the welfare of the entire Amendment Area. The rehabilitation and revitalization of these properties is necessary to prevent damage to the character of the,,area as a whole and to attain an optimal level of economic viability for the Project Area. Based upon field surveys, preliminary review of the current . � demographic data, historical trends and discussions with City officials, the proposed Amendment Area displays some of the negative characteristics specified in the California Health & Safety Code. While these characteristics greatly vary within the Amendment Area in terms of the number of actual occurrencea and the degree of severity, these conditions as a whole may be summarized as follows: 1. Structures in need of rehabilitation; 2. Inadequate street, parking and pedestrian conditions; 3. Inadequate water supply and disEribution system; 4. Inadequate sewage disposal and distribution system; 5. Flooding, inadequate drainage and lack of flood control facilities; 6. Mixed and incompatible land uses; 7. Irregularly shaped and inadequately sized parcels; 8. Vacant and under-utilized parcels; and - 9. Inadequate facilities for the support of public services, including public protection and recrea tion. � . ; ; i y � i { � i I � I �. , ... � � Benefits from the proposed Project will occur to the existing and future inhabitants and property owners within the Project Area in varying degrees depending upon the existing characteristics and needs within the Amendment Area. Residents and taxpayers throughout the City will also benefit from the proposed revitalization of the Amendment Area and contributions of the Area to the funding of needed public facilities. These benefits would be obtained through the following general activities: 1. Provide for the comprehensive planning, design, replanning, development, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of the Amendment Area in order to facilitate a higher and better utilization of properties within the Project Area and thereby contribute to the public health, safety, and welfare; 2. Stimulate construction activities and employment opportunities throughout the Amendment Area; 3. Assist in the financing, construction and/or reconstruction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streets, flood control facilities, water distribu tion systems, sewage distribution systems, and other public facilities; and 4. Assist in the development of under-utilized properties into viable and productive uses, and in the financing of development throughout the , Amendment Area in such a way that will make new development economically feasible. Specifically, the Redevelopment Project activities may include, but will not be limited to, the actions outlined below. The Lynwood Redevelopment Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the future occurrence of detrimental conditions within the Amendment Area by the following actions: 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, lighting, sidewalks, and other public improvements. 2. Modification of signalization at various intersec tions within the Amendment Area and proper lighting of said intersections. I g I � I ` , � I � ; v I � _-- Y' i . � � 3. Replacement, installation, and improvement of water lines and facilities as necessary to increase capabilities for providing adequate fire flows and domestic water supplies. 4. Replacement, installation, and improvement of domestic sewage distribution facilities and treatment facilities to reduce public health and safety hazards. � 5. Construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and drainage facilities. 6. Improvement and development of various utility distribution systems including electrical, gas and telephone. 7. Improvement and development of recreational and community facilities, parks, and playgrounds. 8. Improvements to streetscapes, signing and urban design. 9. In appropriate cases, rehabilitation of structures including those of historical or architectural significance. -° 10. In appropriate cases, the demolition or removal of certain buildings and improvements. 11. Financing programs for the construction and rehabilitation of commercial buildings and the permanent mortgage financing of those buildings. 12. Disposition of property acquired for uses in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. The above mentioned summary of major public improvements is not complete in that other public improvement projects may be proposed by the Agency. In addition, some projects/im provements may be undertaken outside of the Amendment Area boundaries that are of benefit to the Amendment Area. a 9 � I . I `' f . � � It is proposed that the Amended Project Redevelopment Plan include a provision for the use of tax increments, in accordance with Health & Safety Code Section 33670, as the principal method of financing the proposed public improve ments projects. Funds generated from tax increment financ ing may be used for such purposes as Redevelopment Agency staff expenses, office space lease, land 'acquisition, developer incentives, and payment of the principal and interest on any outstanding loans. The use of tax increment financing would insure the availability of long funding over the entire life of the proposed Project. Furthermore, the upgrading nature of these public improvements would result in higher rates of assessed valuation in the Amend- ment Area, producing tax increment funds of increasingly greater quantities. In general, the proposed Redevelopment Project involves a redistribution of funds. The proposed Project by itself would not add any new taxes, nor increase the property taxes of any homeowners within the Amendment Area, nor change any existing zoning or building regulations. IX. CONFORMANCE TO THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY As prepared, the Preliminary Plan conforms to the provisions of the Lynwood General Plan. The Preliminary Plan proposes an identical pattern of land uses, roadways and publac facilities within the Amendment Area as indicated by the General Plan. All future Agency activities will be consis tent with the City's adopted General Plan, which may be summarized as follows: 1. The land uses identified in the Land Use Element of the Lynwood General Plan within the Project Area boundaries are the same land uses contained in the Preliminary Plan. 2. The General Plan establishes principles which will encourage better community design. The Prelimi nary Plan proposes to make improvements to the Project Area in order to eliminate the spread of detrimental influences and ultimately create a more cohesive community. . ; 10 � I � � 3. The General Plan proposes a traffic circulation system in and around the Amendment Area to provide for the efficient and safe movement of people and goods. The Preliminary plan proposes to improve the circulation system within the Project Area in , accordance with the standards provided in the General Plan. 4. The General Plan establishes. policies to provide for the housing needs of all segments of the community. The Preliminary Plan proposes to assist in implementing the General Plan goal of providing decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for a11 residents within the Amendment Area. 5. The General Plan provides for the funding of required community services and facilities to serve Amendment Area development. The Preliminary Plan proposes to make improvements to these services and facilities for the purpose of enhancing the community, including the development of recreational facilities and public open space, and funding of on-site and off-site public facilities. 6. The General Plan seeks to protect the community from noise impacts that would jeopardize its health and welfare. The Preliminary Plan supports" this effort to protect residential� areas from excessive noise and to minimize noise related impacts generated by future improvements. 7. The General Plan establishes standards for both the conservation and development of natural resources. The Preliminary Plan proposes to utilize these guidelines for all future improve ment activities which wil'1 insure a balanced approach to the preservation of aesttietic and environmental resources while considering the development needs of the area. 8. The General Plan provides for the protection of the City's population from fire, flood, and qeological hazards. The Preliminary Plan proposes that all future improvement activities will seek to promote a safe living environment that is protected from environmental and man-made hazards. 11 ' I� ; i ,� , ;' a ;; :;': ' � � X. GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED PROJSCT UPON THE RESIDENTS At1D THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS The negative impacts of the Project upon residents adjacent to the Project Area and surrounding neighborhoods will, in general, be minimal. There may be short-term inconveniences placed upon residents using the circulation system within the Project Area due to the anticipated �public works improvements which the Agency may undertake from time-to time. Positive impacts upon residents and the surrounding neigh- borhoods will, in general, be in the areas of public facilities and services, and environmental quality. The long term positive impacts will include the preservation and upgrading of the City's commercial activities and a better quality of life for residents of Lynwood. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended to date, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project. The EIR will also discuss possible mitigation measures which would reduce these environmental impacts to a level of insignificance. It is anticipated that direct Agency activities will occur only when sufficient financial resources are available and such action will produce effective and beneficial results;-L therefore, the proposed Project is intended to be phased with a limited scope of direct activity at any given time. This subject will be discussed in depth by the Agency in the "Report to the City Council" which will accompany the proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area. 12 , i I i I ' � 1i i' " , 'i ; .... . • A EXHIBIT A PROJECT AREA MAP (TO BE INCLUDED) Y � � EXHIBIT B PROJECT AREA LEGAL DESCRIPTION MEETS AND BOUNDS AMENDED (TO BE INCLUDED) � � I I I � i I I ` -- , . � � PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT "A" Prepared by LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY y 11330 Bullis Road Lynwood, California 90262 Charles G.

We believe the services we propose will provide the City with a comprehensive governmentaT relations I program which will have the ability to monitor as well as i influence the development of state and federal public policy. � Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell is a political law firm with offices in Sacramento, California; Austin, Texas; � and Washington, D.C. The firm utilizes the concept of integrating our legislative, administrative, and legal I expertise to effectively represent our client's interest. Our � trade mark is a team approach. In this way, the cespective I strengths of our professionals can effectively influence public I policy actions on behalf of our clients. Although established in Sacramento only three yeazs I ago, the firm has grown to become one of the largest government � celations firms in the state capital. The California office employs eight legislative advocates with a wide range of � experience and expertise in the governmental process developed from almost 75 years of exposure to California politics. The ' efforts of our governmental relations staff are backed up by ; our professional legal and support staff numbering twelve. These professionals work as a team to assist our clients in � obtaining an inside channel to the pablic policy decision making process. Areas of expertise include the fields of insurance, business, transportation, agriculture, health, law enforcement, labor relations, housing finance, the state budget � process, redevelopment, public works, toxics and workers' compensation.

Our facilities include automated technology such as Legi-Tech, Lexis, telecommunications equipment and advanced word processing systems for all support staff. Our cli?nts enjoy two conference rooms that can be used for meeting and educational purposes, a cat=ring kitchen and work room of sufficient size to handle large projects. In summary, we believe our firm has the staff. expertise, and facilities to represent the City of Lynwood in a manner consistent with California cities competing for grants, ' budget resources and pilot projects. I have attached a representative list of key persons in Sacramento with whom o�r � firm has access. I have also attached a representative list of ' grants and awards that our firm has been instrumental in � obtaining. Although our firm has not concentrated efforts in ' this area due to our client make-up, we have been active in a number of projects that might be of interest. Our firm is currently involved in representing the I California Collider Commission on a project to bring the $4.4 � billion Superconducting Super collider to this state. Part of this project involves developing the state's financial package which will involve the Legislative, State Treasurer and � Governor approving up to $500 million in revenue bonds as part � of the state's contribution to develop the site for this � project. Senate Bill S1 and Assembly Bill 185, which authorize � such bon�s, have each passed their respective houses and a � final bill will be developed by a conference committee of both houses before the Legislature adjourns for their summer recess. I Our firm was instrumental in securing the development I and passage of Proposition 44 (June, 1986 ballot). The measure, authored by Assembly Member Jim Costa, authorized the � sale of $150 million in general obligation bonds to finance � water reclamation, conservation, and agricultural drainage � water cleanup. The firm helped devise and lobby the � authorizing legislation, as well as direct the statewide � campaign efforts which resulted in its passage. ; Other efforts of our firm on a nationwide basis in ; obtaining grants and appropriations to benefit the activities � of our clients have included: j � 1) $15 million from General Services Association for .

INTRODUCTION Representation of the City of Lynwood requires first, an ability to recognize the scope and breadth of issues which may have an impact on a public entity such as Lynwood. This entails a sufficient working knowledge of a great number of subject areas in order to identify potential areas of concern contained in a proposed legislation, regulation, or other activity of state government. Second, such representation requires an in depth knowledge of the political process, as well as personnel who have ongoing social and professional relationships that provide access to decision makers in the legislative and executive branches of government. One of the truly strong points of Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell is the expertise of its professionals in many of the areas of concern to the city. This expertise has been developed by past and present represe'ntation of numerous clients, associations. and entiEies, as well as experience gained by our professionals in prior employment. .Without attempting to recap the biogtaphical information contained in this proposal, members of our firm have developed expertise in � the areas of insurance, workers' compensation, industrial , relations, health care, transportation, finance, toxics, water, � housing, environmental quality, the state budget process, securing available grants and many others of relevance to.the City of Lynwood. Experience in representation of large emp,loyei � associations, public entity representation for counties and I libraries and staff work in the Legislature and state ' government, give our professional staff special insight into i many of the subject matters related to the representation of the City of Lynwood. The size and quality of our staff give us the ability to cover the multitude of activities and hearings � on'proposed legislation and regulations which often involve j conflicting time schedules. This is especially relevant when i such responsibilities involve a public entity with potential � for legislation in clearly three quarters of the Legislature's � standing committees, as well as the subject subcommittees. ' I Tnere are several areas which we view as critical to the City of Lynwood that are being addressed by the Legislature I this session: Fiscal Topics - The Governor and the legislative 1 leadership have placed the fiscal condition of the state at the I top of the priority list. The effects of the Gann limitation will continue to place additional pressure of the Legislature I and the Governor in the next budget year. The increase in � budgetary tension will exacerbate the desire to implement "creative financing" which would result in a further negative impact on cities. If, for example. the State were to adopt � block apportionments to local government as a means of avoiding � the Gann ceiling, it would then be incumbent upon the City of � Lynwood to ensure that the methodology and assumptions are �I ; I ! i I I ' � � �`, just. It would be necessary to ensuze that any appropriations to cities recognize the needs of urban centers, such as Lynwood. Municipal Finance - Our firm was retained by the coalition of bond houses, banks, and local governments to maintain the tax ded�ctibility of municipal securities. We fully appreciate the limitations placed on the traditional uses of public interest bonds by the 1986 Tax Reform Act. The � Legislature is considering conforming with the Act. The City , of Lynwood must act to ensure that the state does not move i precipitously in this area, especially given the decline in I federal assistance. Honsing, economic development, and public works are key areas in which fully tax exempt bond financing � can be effectively and legitimately used to meet the needs of a � municipality's citizens. � Law Enforcement - The need to retain funding for i public safety needs is a must for all major cities. Of particular importance is the need for additional funds to I combat youth gang activity and truancy, drug trafficking, i violent offenses, and counseling centers for innocent victims. Effective representation ir. Washington and Sacramento ' is vital to additional funding for local government in these � areas. Public Services - Members of our firm have wide , experience in the areas of library services and funding; parks i and recreation, transportation, health care, human relations, i affirmative action, and economic development. The contraction � of public dollars affects many of these services first. We are � equipped to deal in each of these areas with expertise and provide timely counsel to the City. � The growing fiscal conservatism of California has ' resulted in a distinct threat to local government's ability to adequately serve its citizens. Cities such as Lynwood will be � significantly affected unless properly represented. � The City, its leadership, and its citizens, must be apprised of the changes being proposed and considerations by ' the Govecnor and the Legislature. It must be prepared to gather an effective team to ensure that fundamental services � and revenue streams are not adversely affected. Our proposal , to provide governmental relations services is intended to I respond to this need and is structured to ensure successful results. � I A. Summary of Capabilities, Qualities, and Expertise Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell concentrates on � results. Our track record of effective representation is � attributable to a wide range of expertise among our government � relations advisors, an understanding of the legislative and regulatory process, and a commitment to successfully represent our client's interests. The firm's staff of government ' i I � � ' � � relations specialists work to educate decision-making officials in the Administration and the California state Legislature on issues of specific concern to the client. The firm's legislative advocates provide almost a half-a-century of experience and.expertise in government relations services in California. during the 1965-86 Session, Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell's legislative efforts ranged from monitoring legislation to sponsorship and passage I of major legislation requested by our clients. The firm was responsible for following approximately 400 Senate and Assembly bills for a variety of interest each requiring varying levels � of advocacy services. Due to the spectrum of issues, the I firm's government relations personnel handled issues reviewed ., by 35 of the Legislature's policy committees. Many of these bills also required full lobbying efforts before the fiscal � committees of each house, votes on the Assembly and Senate , floors and interaction with the Governor's Office and ' Administration officials in the various state agencies. Some of our legislative achievements include: � 1. Insurance ! (a) Working on behalf of the California insurance I agents and brokers, the firm drafted and passed legislation ; stating the legislative intent behind statutes which support the prohibition of unfait insurance rate discrimination � contained in the California lnsurance Code. The passage of + this measure required substantial lobbying efforts and personal contacts with virtually every member of the Legislature, � including the leadership of both houses, to overcome active, ; thorough, and well orchestrated campaign of inedia and other I interest group opposition. After educating the legislators on i the merits, the bill was passed in both houses with vote totals well in excess of the simple majorities required. Discussions j with the Governor's political and legislative staff saved the � i measure from a potential veto and resulted in Governor Deukmejian taking the most unusual step (for his administration) of letting the bill become law without his signature. (b) As a representative of the insurance agents and brokers of California, the firm supported legislation authored i by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown which limited midterm policy I cancellations by insurance companies as well as requiring ' substantial advance notice of the non-renewal of policies. i Specifically, our negotiating efforts resulted in concessions , from the insurers which lengthened the advance notice � requirements for both cancellation and non-renewal, the i limiting of the acceptable bases for these activities by � insurers and advance notice to the agent or broker as well as � the insurance consumer, all to the benefit of the insurance i consumers of California as well as their agents and brokers. (c) The firm drafted and sponsored legislation on ' behalf of California insurance agents and brokers which � I I I . � � � required that insurers give advance notice of the termination of an agency contract. Additionally, the measure required insurers to renew most policies, in the absence of another available mark2t, for one year or one policy term. The passage of the legislation will result in more stable insurance markets for consumers and agents and was achieved through negotiations I with insurers to remove some of their opposition as well as i active lobbying of the members and staffs of the committees on Senate Insurance, Claims and Corporations; Assembly Finance and Insurance; Assembly Ways and Means and Senate Appropriations. The end result was a bill which achieved an overwhelming vote of approval in both houses of the Legislature and a � Gubernatorial signature. i 2. Transportation: , � I On behalf of its client, the firm gained a budget augmentation of seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000.00) for increased personnel years to be utilized in connection with I snow removal from major California highways after working with key legislators and staff of the Departments of Finance and Transportation. Identical appropriations were contained in � both the Assembly and Senate versions of the budget after firm � members extensively lobbied both of the appropriate monetary subcommittees, thus removing the item from Conference Committee � consideration. Undeterred by the Governor's blue penciling of the appropriation, the firm obtained the introduction of an urgency measure and passed it in both houses by the required two-thirds vote. Upon reconsideration, the bill which I contained the same monetary appropriation was signed into law by the Governor. i 3. Housing: � The firm represented a major minority development firm � in obtaining a contract agreement in the amount of $90 million � for the construction of low income and affordable housing. In i doing so we participated in the contract negotiations for these � housing projects with the Department of Housing, the Federal Highway Administr.ation and the California Business, ' Transportation and Housing Agency. 4. Health Care The firm worked with the Department of Health Services and dramatically modified the promulgation of regulations affecting hemodialysis. Tne successful negotiations saved the I client $14 million in calendar year 1986 alone. 5. Toxics + Our firm led the effort on behalf of our client to �' reform and extend'the state-imposed fees on hazardous waste � facilities and generators. I I These are just some examples in the myriad of � legislative accomplishments by Heron, Burchette, Ruckert 6 � Rothwell. i � � I I � ' � � II. RECAPITULATION OF SERVICES A. Monitoring: Heron, Burchette, Ruckert 6 Rothwell (HBRR) will monitor the legislative and administrative process to ensure the City of Lynwood's ability to identify potential' legislation and administrative actions affecting its interests. This activity would be accomplished through the review by o�r professionals of all bills and amendments thereto for possible effect on the City. Proposed and adopted regulations of interest to the City would be monitored by review of reports prepared by the Office of Administrative Law and receipt of proposed regulations through maintaining the firm's name on the mailing lists of key departments, boards, and commissions of interest to the City. Regular contact will also be made with the legislators and key staff of primary committees affecting the City. This contact is essential in order to obtain early notice regarding development of future legislation or situations that my give I rise to the introductions of legislation affecting the City. Through the establishment of a continued dialogue with i legislators, our firm will keep policy makers aware of the effect of specific legislation relative to the City of Lynwood. � B. Bill Review: Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell � maintains a full subscription with he legislative bill room and receives all copies of all versions of bills, resolutions, files, journals, histories, etc. Copies of all bills and � amendments that are determined to have any impact on the i legislative interest of the City of Lynwood will be forwarded I to the persons responsible for review, i i During the review process, issues of concern to the � City of Lynwood would be identified and then forwarded to the , appropriate parties or specific department heads requesting ' review, establishment of a position, and specific action necessary to conform the legislation or proposed regulation to the policy of the City. C. Regular Bill List: With regard to legislation, ! once positions are established by the City, such information � and required actions will be entered into the computer bill list and updated on a regular basis as required. The City's Legislative Committee will be provided with a monthly summary containing the number of the bill, a short summary of the bill, a short summary of what the bill seeks to accomplish, the City's position on the bills, the bill's status and the bill's � next scheduled hearing. A breakdown of the City's bill list and status report can be provided separately to specified � department heads for theic review. Alternatively, monthly reports will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the City. Wcitten reports will be combined with regularly � scheduled meetings with the Mayor, City Council, or personnel of the Department of Intergovernmental Relations to discuss and adopt policy positions on issues of importance to the City. i � � D. Legislative Advocacy: The City's position on all legislation of intezest will be tcansmitted to legislators, legislative staff, committee consultants, state agencies, and other special interest groups. This will be accomplished through: (1) letters notifying appropriate officials and agencies of the Council's position; (2) personal disc�ssions with legislators, their staff, and committee consultants; (3) I meetings with state agencies and other special interest groups � represented at the Capitol; (4) testifying before appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature; (5) direct I lobbying of legislators; (6) drafting of amendments; and (7) j coordinating council members and city representatives for ; testimony both in Sacramento and other legislative hearings ; scheduled throughout the state. + E. Coordination of Legislative Efforts: Heron, � Burchette, Ruckert 5 Rothwell will assume responsibility for ! coordination of the City's legislative program. This includes � the development of the City's legislative platform, proposed I legislation, and proposed regulations and/or amendment thereto. I i Prior to the beginnzng of each legislative session, � our lead professionals will meet with and solicit input from � the city council, major, city manager, city attorney, or i specific department heads, where necessary, to gain a complete � understanding of the issues of importance to the city for i purpose of developing a legislative/government affairs � program. Interaction with such individuals will continue during the legislative session as the firm would intend to meet � periodically with appropriate city officials to discuss and review the status of legislation, budget matters, regulations, and grants of interest to the City. Communication with City ; officials would be further enhanced by written and oral � communication where necessary to receive input or advise officials of matters of interest to the City in a timely inanner. � Coordination of legislative efforts also involves the � responsibility for requesting and organizing appropriate ; background material from offices of the City for legislative or regulatory issues of importance. This function will also � involve coordinating participation by council members or city � technical staff in state hearings and meetings which would � further the interests of the City. Two additional elements are critical to coordinating � the City's legislative program. First, Heron, Burchette, j Ruckert & Rothwell will actively seek to cooperate with and , coordinate other potential allies on issues of common interest I with particular emphasis on the League of California Cities, � representatives of other cities, counties, special districts, � business and labor. Second, the firm's professionals will establish close working relationships with the City's state � legislative representatives and their staffs so that they are � constantly awace of the issues of interest to the City and the strategies and activities intended to be employed to deal with � these issues. � I . - � � F. Establish a Presence Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell will actively work to establish a strong identity and presence at the State Capitol for the City. This effort will be reinforced by day-to-day involvement in the political and legislative process on behalf of the City. Our firm will serve � as a resource to legislators, their staff, and the policy � committees of both houses on matters pertaining to the interests of the City with particular attention paid to fiscal committees and budget matters. A full time office and support staff make our firm easily accessible to all segments of government seeking information and answers to inquiries I relative to our client's interests. Presence, accessibility � and an open channel of communication with legislators, staff � and state officials allows for an educational process and exchange of information in areas of concern to the group. , G. Annual Report: Heron, Burchette, Ruckert 6 I Rothwell will, at the end of each legislative session, compile an annual legislative report detailing the activities undertaken on behalf of the group during the preceding year. I This teport will review and analyze legislation of interest to the City which passed both houses of the Legislature and which will become law at the beginning of the next calendar year. In � addition, the report will discuss legislation actively i supported and opposed, the final status of these bills, general steps taken in lobbying the legislation, and the political analysis of behind-the-scenes legislative process regarding ! these bills. I H. Grant Monies: Heron;.BUrchette, Ruckert & ' Rothwell will monitor the state and federal budgets for available grant dollars for the City of Lynwood. When grants are identified through such monitor.ing or by the various I offices of the City, Heron, Burchette, Ruckert & Rothwell will I assist in obtaining such grants on behalf of the City. Activities will include personal contact with legislators to j secure support, communication with appropriate agency � executives and their staffs to ensure their understanding of ' all necessary matecials and information precedent to a decision i or an award and additional activities necessary to assist in obtaining such grants for the City. � I. Speeches and Conferences: Heron, Burchette, i Ruckert & Rothwell will attend and participate in appropriate city, county, and state activities on behalf of the City of i Lynwood where requested to make presentations and/or provide I consultation regarding legislation on regulatory issues. � I 9 'r I ( � i � .

Specifically, the purposes of the Reserve Force would be to: � I 1. create a trained force to respond to severe police ' emergencies; ' 2. bridge the gap between the police and private I citizens; and � i 3, increase private interest and participation in law � enforcement activities concerning drug trafficking � problems. ! i The City of xxxx currently employs Peace Officers. ; While this force can handle the every day law enforcement responsibilities, there are times when gang violence and drug ; related crime demand additional resources. At such times, � properly trained Reserve Force officers could be used to handle routine functions, freeing up full time officers to respond to � the emergencies. � At the same time, Reserve Force officers could serve a vital function as a liaison between the oolice and civilians. Hostility between police and civilians can often erode the � close working relationship needed to effectively fight crime. ; Reserve Officers who are not full time police and who return to ! other jobs in the community could help reduce tensions and keep i the open lines of communication. As designed, the Reserve Force will also increase the involvement of the private sector in law enforcement � activities. Every officer on the force would naturally discuss � his police activities with co-workers and neighbors. Private � businesses will be asked to participate in the program � financially, increasing awareness and interest. Finally, as replacement officers are needed and trained, more people would � become actively involved. Law enforcement is most effective when it is supported ' by the community. The Reserve Force will draw new community resources in the fight against infiltration of gangs, drug ' ttafficking and crime. At the same time, it will provide cost effective resources for the xxxx City Police Department. � I � f . � � PLAN OF OPERi4TION The pact-time personnel would be integrated into a vari�ety of Police Depactment functions such as the xxxx xxxx . xxxx xxxx and xxxxx. During the first year, xxxx Reserve Force personnel would be integrated into the program, combining with the existing xxxx Reserve Officers. During the second year, an additional xxxxx would be incorporated into the Department. The program would be implemented under the guidance of ' a full time xxxx City Police Department Sergeant, assisted by two Police Officers. The plan involyes recruitment of personnel from a variety of sources, (eg., Police Officers , themselves, City of xxxx Personnel Department, Employment Development Department, Colleges and Universities, and related , community orqanizations). The concept involves a combination of the policies and procedures guiding most Reserve Officer Programs, (e.g., voluntary participation of these activities, while also involving paid part time positions). The first 24 hours of . such a period is voluntary in nature, but beyond that point, a individual is compensated at a rate of $15 per hour. Each Reserve Force member will either be a Level 1 or Level 2 Reserve Officer. This implies co;noletion of a Reserve Officer's Academ� and a specific number of hours, and authorization to handle general Law Enforcement duties alone or with a regular Police Officer as a partner. Doring the first program year, the organizational , structure would include xxxx Reserve Force Commander, xxxx Reserve Force Lieutenants, xxxx Reserve Force Sergeants, and , xxxx R'eserve Force Officers in addition to the existing xxxx Reserve Officers (totalling xxxx). This is in addition to the xxxx full-time Police Officers responsible for managing the program. The Reserve Force Commander, Lieutenants, and , Sergeants would form the "Command Staff". This group would handle direct day to day administrative operations. The ' Commander would have direct line supervisors over the xxxx Reserve Lieutenants who would supervise the following areas: � 1. xxxx '� � 2. xxxx 3. xxxx + 1 4, xzxx ; i i 5. xxxx � .' I ; i � t i i , i ' � � � Each of the Lieutenants would have 2 Sergeants assigned to them for direct operational control of the Officers. Concomitant with the "Command Staff" management approach, the forth would have 24-hour coverage in the office in the event of a major incident requiring mobilization of the entire Force. The program will also allot time and funding for academy training, uniforms, concealed weapons, permits for all Level 1 and Level 2 Officers, Commendation Certificates and awards for exemplary job performance. The program provides the Department with a cost effective operation and also dramatically increases the capability of the Department by approximately xxxx8. The number of regular Police Officers is xxxx in 1987. The additional 100 Reserve Force Members (within a two-year period) albeit part-time, will be of great significance. The primary function of the Reserve Force would be to II act as a backup.for the Police Force, as well as an augmenting �I force assisting Police officers with routine activities. If any violent emergencies which are apart from routine ar_tivities � provided by the Police Department occur, the Reserve Force � would not provide assistance. Clearly those soecial situations ; require the tenure and expertise of a fu11;� qualified Peace Officer. I I � IDENTIFIED PRIVATE/LOCAL PARTICIPATION IN I THE DEMONSTRATION PILOT PROJECT There are approximately xxxx licensed businesses � located in the City of xxxx. These businesses range from xxxx to xxxx. The private sector would support the Pilot j Demonstration Project through xxxx. This financial support ' would account for xxxx8 of private sector participation in the i Pilot Demonstration Project. The curren't City operating budget for 1987/88 is $xxxx , of which $xxxx is budgeted for Police Services. The projected total cost for the Reserve Force is $438,517. It is estimated , that between private sector and local pacticipation, ; approximately 208 of the funding could be generated. Therefore, federal assistance is requested in the amount of ) $438,517. i EVALUATION The program would be evaluated in a variety of ways. i First, the Department will evaluate changes in such things as ' response time, reductions in crime rates and the ability of the i Department to respond to more incoming calls and/or to resolve I problems. Reports would be prepared on a quarterly basis and the Department would be able to compare statistics with previous periods prior to the creation of the Reserve Force.

ImpLementation of this Reserve Force will address the ever growing problems associated with crime as well as the tentacular hold of drugs in xxxx. The Reserve Fozce Pilot Demonstration Project can serve as a role model for cities throughout the nation facing ti�e same serious problems. , � � � � � � � � i i . . � - . � . . . � , ' � � I � � { . i � � � . � _ ! � . .. � ' . .. � .

Mas, Director Community Development Department SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 87097 Applicant: Teresita Valdez Proposal The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a convalescent hospital to provide geriatric, primarily non-ambulatory 24-hour care to operate at 4271 Carlin Avenue. The site was the location of a similar operation which had been closed. The facility contains 105 beds ranging from single occupancy rooms to 3 individuals in a room. 1. Facts Source of Authoritv: Section 25-4.2a, of the Lynwood Municipal Code which identifies the type of permit required for residential uses within the R-3 zoning district. The heading of community care facility is a permitted use within the R-3 zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit. 2. Property Location: The site is located on the north side of Carlin between Castlegate and Stoneacre Avenues. 3. Propertv Size: The site is rectangular in shape and is approximately 38,634 square feet in size, generally 94' X 411' (.09 acres). 4. Existin� Land Uses: The site is currently occupied by a building which had been used as a convalescent hospital containing 105 beds, kitchen facilities, as well as accessory uses generally found in this type of facility. The site is surrounded by the following land uses: North: Residential South: Residential East: Residentisl West: Residential 5. Land Use Descriptions: North: Single family residential South: Single family residential East: Vacant West: Multi-family apartments 6. Pro.iects Characteristics: The applicant is proposing the re-opening of the former convalescent hospital known as Hilton Convalescent home. The facility has an occupancy of 105 beds for non-ambulatory as well as ambulatory patients, and would provide 24-hour DISK 22:87097CUP , skilled nursing care. According to the Los Angeles County Community Health Facilities Regional Inspector, the '�' convalescent hospital would require certain basic care to be provided, which is regulated by both Los Angeles County and the State of California. From a zoning standpoint the site is consistent with the permitted uses in an R-3 zoning district, as far as building configuration. However, it does not meet the minimum requirements for landscaping and parking spaces required. It is estimated that 25 employees would be accessing the site at the day shift, which is the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. The site is able to accommodate twenty (20) parking spaces, which is not adequate parking for the employees. The deficiency in the numbers of parking spaces available and the number of parking spaces necessary indicates a large number of employees would be required to park off-site, thereby creating an impact to Carlin Avenue in terms of on- street parking. Additionally, visitor parking must be factored into the calculation for parking. The code requirement for convalescent hospitals is one (1) space per five (5) beds. Using that calculation the site requires 21 parking spaces to serve the 105 bed facility. Consideration must be given to the appropriateness of permitting the facility to re-open with an inadequate number of employee parking spaces exacerbated by the number of potential visitors on a daily basis. 7. Site Plan Review At its regular meeting on December 17, 1987, the Site Plan Review Committee approved the proposed project, subject to the findings stated in the attached Resolution. 8.. Zoning Enforcement History: 1969 - A Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of the convelescent hospital for a 100 bed facility. 1975 - Conditional Use Permit issued to permit the convalescent hospital to change uses to a commercial home for convalescents and state/county retirees. 1978 - Revocation of the Conditional Use Permit to conduct the facility as a commercial home for convalescenta and State/County retirees. 1979 - Revocation of the Conditional Use Permit for the operation of the residential care facility for the elderly. Analssis and Conclusion 1. Inconsistency with the General Plan The proposed land use is consistent with the zoning designation of R-3, provided the Conditional Use Permit is issued. However, the General Plan designates the site for Townhouse and Cluster Housing which generally is more consistent with the R-2 zoning district. Therefore, consideration should be given for the potentielity of a General Plan Amendment for the area between Cookacre and Thorson Avenues. DISK 22:87097CUP I , � „. 2. Site Suitability The property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate a facility of this type; however, its inability to provide an adequate number of parking spaces for both employees and visitors makes the size of the convalescent hospital in- appropriate as to the number of beds provided. The potential trips generated by both employees and visitors at peak a.m. and p.m. hours would be approximately 35 trips generated by the facility which, by themselves, is not anticipated to create an impact on the adjacent streets in terms of traffic movements. It should be pointed out, however, that the combination of employees and visitors would contribute to the off-street parking impacts caused by insufficient parking on-site to accommodate the employees and visitors. 3. Compatibility The compatibility of the land use to the surrounding area is appx•opriate provided that the site accomodates the necessary parking spaces required to minimize the on-street parking impacts. In addition, the inconsistency between the General Plan and zoning creates an incompatability of the potential use and the city's General Plan for a less dense land use. 4. Comnliance with Development Standards Specific Findings a. The proposed conditional use would adversely affect the General Plan since the zoning and land use designation are not consistent. To allow the convalescent facility to operate wo�ld necessitate the initiation of a General Plan Amendment. b. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this chapter and the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, since the operation of convalescent facilites are a permitted use within the R-3 zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit. c. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious i to properties or improvements in the vicinity, since the site cannot adequately accommodate the reqUired number of parking spaces for the size of the �i facility provided the number of beds does not exceed 90. � d. That the proposed conditional use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter, i except for approved variances. (Ord. No. 1107.) If the project is approved for a maximum of 90 beds, i it would then accommodate the existing, number of , parking spaces, thereby eliminating the necessity of I on-street parking for employees and visitors. 5. Conditions of Approval ! Conditions of approval would be subject to the applicant i providing the following: ' DISK 22:87097CUP � I � 1. Reduce the number of beds at the facility to 90 beds. i 2. Provide a landscaping plan for the entire site including the parking lot. 3. The Planning Commission initiate a General Plan Amendment to redesignate the area between Thorson and Cookacre Avenues from Townhouse and Cl�ster Housing to Multi-Family Residential, in order to provide consistency with the current land use patterns, zoning and the General Plan. Environmental Assessment The development has recieved a negative declaration pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended. Recommendation Staff respectfUlly requests that after consideration the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2158. a. Finding that re-opening the facility would not have a significant effect on the environment, and certify the Negative Declaration as adeqUate. b. Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 87097, subject to stated conditions and requirements. Attachments: 1. Location Map 2. Plans 3.
