Casillas)
This applicant is requesting a Special Permit to add
Dancing and Entertainment at the existing restaurant and
cocktail lounge.
Because of the written request of Miguel Garcia, the .
applicant's lawyer, staff requested that this case be
continued to the November 10, 1987, meeting, but since
dancing and live entertainment have been observed,
without the special permit (which means the business is
operating illegally), and the applicant is unable to
provide the necessary parking, Mr. Mas asked Mr. Barbosa
if the special permit could be denied at this meeting,
rather than continue to the November 10, 1987, meeting. j
A short discussion ensued in regards to the I
appropriateness of denying the permit. Mr. Barbosa �
stated that should the Commissioners feel inclined to i
deny the permit, the action would be appropriate.
i
Chairperson Kanka opened the Public Hearing. Since the �
applicant was unable to attend, she asked if anyone �
wanted to speak in favor of the special permit. No one i
came forth, so she asked if anyone wanted to speak ,
against the special permit. '
Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, California, '
stated his opposition. He visited the site and stated �
the music was loud. He also stated that the business is I
operating illegally because of the entertainment and j
dancing activities are held without the reguired permit. �

stated his opposistion because of the loud,music and the �
illegal entertainment and dancing occurring at the site.

Zapien, owner, 12501 Harris Avenue, Lynwood, California,

Ray Chavira, 11434 Plum Street, Lynwood, California, rose

many people and too much drug traffic.

Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, California,
stated he is opposed to the development because the
Planning Commission cannot determine how many peopple will
ultimately live in the apartments.
Mrs. D. Gilmore, 12407 Harris Avenue, Lynwood, California,
stated there is a serious drug problem in the area and
that there is inadequate police protection, and inadequate
mail service now. The building recently approved for
senior citizens on Carlin Avenue now is inhabited by
families with many children. All these problems require
that the property owners maintain higher insurance.
Gerald Hunter, 11301 Hulme Avenue, Lynwood, California,
states he owns a single-family home now presently worth
over $110,000.00. He contends that building apartments
will reduce the present property values.
Chairperson Kanka told Mr. Hunter that, the proposed
building at 12502 Harris is not near his home.
Mr. Woodard, 12417 Harris Avenue, Lynwood, California,
proposed the project alleging that his home is next door
to the proposed building, and police.reqularly raid the
area searching for drug dealers. Police kicked down his
door and put shotguns on him and his wife while a doper
hid in his bedroom.
There being no more persons wishing to speak, Chairperson
Kanka closed the Public Hearing. �
City Attorney Barbosa said Mr. Zapien should be allowed ,
time to rebut, Mr. Mas acting as interpreter. Mr. Zapien '
stated there are now two units on the premises, he lives
in one of them and is proposing to remove the remaining I
unit and replace it with a duplex. In other words, there �
will be only one more unit added, and Mr. Zapien plans to
continue to live on the premises.
i
At this point, Mrs. D. Gilmore, in the audience, stated '
she just realized she had spoken against the wrong �
property. However, she is still opposed to the I
construction of any more appartments. �
Commissioner pove stated there is, indeed, a proliferation �
of apartments in Lynwood, however,,there are no grounds to i
deny the application. ;

6. Variance - Case No. 87077
Tom Lem (Chevron)
This is a request for approval of a Variance in order to
install a thirty-five (35') foot rotating sign at the
Chevron Service Station, 11401 South Atlantic Avenue,
Lynwood, California.
Staff stated that the 35-foot sign would be legal for any
other business but a service station. The need for. the
variance is prompted by an inconsistency between the Sign
Ordinance and the development standards applicable to
service stations. While the first establishes a thirty-
five (35') foot limit, the second establishes a thirty-
foot (30') limit. Denying the requested variance would
result in denying the applicant the same rights other
property owners enjoy. Staff further stated that the
necessary actions would be taken to resolve the Code
inconsistency. The Site Plan Review Committee did not
approve any encroachment in the public right-of-way or �
rotation of the sign. �
Chairperson Kanka opened the Public Hearing. i
Mr. Bill Amend, of Arcadia, rose to state that Chevron �
will accept staff's recommendation of a 35-foot sign that �
does not encroach on the public right-of-way and does not �
rotate.
Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, California, �
rose to speak on behalf of a nearby church in favor of the
35-foot sign as long as it does not rotate. ,
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson
Kanka closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Cole-Dennis and SECONDED by '
Commission Dove to adopt Resolution No. 2151, "A RESOLUTION

7. Zoning Ordinance Amendment Case No. 87078
The City of Lynwood is considering amendinq Chapter 25,
the Official Zoning Ordinance, with respect to requiring
additional�parking for mini-malls. It has become apparent
Disk 22:Mins1013
6
that the current parking standards of one (1) parking
space required for each 400 square feet of retail
commercial floor area is inadequate in actual usage of
mini-malls. The problem is exacerbated because the
developer of mini-malls usually has no committed tenants,
and some types of tenants require more parking spaces. It
is suggested that one (1) parking space for each 350
square foot of gross floor area be required of future
mini-malls instead of the one (1) space for each 400
square foot of floor area.
Chairperson Kanka opened the Public Hearing.
Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, California,
stated that the proposed increase of parking spaces would
be a good idea, more parking is needed by the present
mini-malls, and this change might curtail the building of
more mini-malls.
There was a short discussion prompted by Commissioner
Dove, who asked if the square footage might not be lowered
further.
The MOTION was made by Commissioner pove, and SECONDED by
Commissioner Willis to adopt Resolution No. 2152, "A RESO-
LUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
RECON�'lENDING CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO �
CHAPTER 25, THE OFFICIAL ZONING ORDINANCE, OF THE LYNWOOD '

r
- AB2020 "The Bottle Bill." Mr. Mas explained that the
State Legislature has mandated the establishment of '
recycling centers in all jurisdictions. However, the
legislation allows local units of government to regulate t
the location and questions.of this case. The recycling of �
beverage containers is in part due to the fact that dump �
_ sites are diminishing. Staff is currently preparing a
draft ordinance which is expected to be submitted for
Planning Commission consideration at the next reqularly

restaurant. City Council held a Public Hearing at which
the Council voted to uphold the Commission decision. City
Council has been appraised by staff that nuisances are
caused by present beer and wine operations that don't
conform to the City Code.
- A special Planninq Commission meeting was held on
September 29, 1987, concerning R-2 and R-3 zones presently
acceptable to the General Plan, although the citizens of
Lynwood don't want any more multiple dwellings. The City
is now in the process of updating the General Plan and
this may be changed to more realistically reflect the
desires of the citizenry of Lynwood. Mr. Mas stated that
articles would be printed in both the Lynwood Press and
the Lynwood Journal, and perhaps even mass mailers would
be used to notify the citizens that a series of Public
Hearings will be held.
COMMISSION ORALS
Commissioner Cole-Dennis would like to see stimulating,
strong public information dispensed.
Commissioner pove wants detailed messages explaining
multiple zoning options to the citizens. Mr. Mas replied
_
that an advisory committee will be formed. I
Public Orals
Mr. Ray Chavira, 11434 Plum Street stated he had three questions. '
First, he would like to know the latest information on the Long ,
Beach Boulevard reconstruction from Fernwood to the.City Limits.
Second, when will Code Enforcement be moved from the Fire
Department to City Hall annex. Third, the direction staff plans
to take on the new alcohol ordinance at the Planning Commission '
meeting of November 10, 1987.
Concerning the third guestion, City Attorney Barbosa stated that -
he will get the ordinance to Mr. Mas tomorrow (Wednesday, October
14, 1987), then Mr. Mas will analyze it in time to discuss it at j
the November 10, 1987, meeting. Mr. Mas added that an expensive
survey is now underway; consultants have been retained. '
Concerning the first question, Mr. Mas stated that Mr. Chavira
should get in touch with the City of Lynwood Public Works
Department. The project must be completed within the next 2-1/2 ,
years because the bond issue money must be depleted within that
time. John Askoui stated that his department is working on
specifications and design which should be done by January, 1988. i
Concerning the second question, Code Enforcement is now a '
division of Building and Safety. The format may be changed
during the next four months, and special training may be provided i
for Code Enforcement officers so they can issue citations.
Mr. Chavira added a fourth question concerninq the possibility of �
using citizen volunteers, like the Block Watch program. Mr.
Barbosa stated he is not aware of any plans to use citizen
volunteers. !

exit by backing into the street.
2. On August 11, 1987, the Planning Commission continued this
matter to its regular meeting of September 8, 1987, since the

26, 1987, the revised site plan was submitted to the Planning
Division.
3. The Site Plan was reviewed by the Site Plan Review Committee
on September 24, 1987. This site plan was rejected because

the Planning Commission to give the applicant sufficient time

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
. 1. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is consisfent with the existing Zoning
designation (R-Z) and consistent with the General Plan
, designation (Townhouse and Cluster Housing).
2. Site Suitability
The property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the proposed development relative to structures, parking,
' walls, fences, landscaping, driveways and other development
features required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Lynwood Road is not a major arterial, but it is well suited
to carry the quantity of traffic the proposed development
would,generate. I

The proposed development is surrounded by a mixture of I
low and medium density residential developments; therefore, �,
the project will be compatible with the developments in the

i
�
, �
;
4. Compliance with Development Standards .
The proposal meets the development standards required by the
Zoning Ordinance with respect to front, side, and rear yard
setbacks; distance between structures; lot coverage;
building height; and density. However, the lot width
required an adjustment of 10� to increase the lot�width to
50 feet. The Zoning Ordinance (Section 25-30) permits a
minnor adjustment to the lot width without the need to
obtain a variance.

recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee, will not have
a negative effect on the values of the surrounding
properties or interfere with or endanger the public health,
safety or welfare.
' 6. Benefits to Community
The proposed development will aid in aesthetically upgrading -
the neighborhood and will act as a catalyst in fostering
other,quality developments. Furthermore, the development
will add favorably to the City's housing stock and will
provide additional affordably-priced housing in furtherance
of the policies of the Housing Element of the General Plan.
The development will eliminate the potential problems associated
with vacant lots.

FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
Community Developement Dept.
SUBJECT:' Proposed ordinance establishing recycling centers
to accept redeemable beverage containers in
compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 2020. ,
Facts
The 1986 .session of the State Legislature considered and
approved the issue of recycling beverage containers. This is in
direct response to the concern over the deminishing number of
lawful sites or potential lawful sites. A method of reducing
solid waste is to encourage the community to consider recycling
those items which are renewable such as aluminum, glass and
plastic. The method for encouraging recycles rests on the
requirement of the customer paying a one (.O1) cent fee
deposited into a state account to be returned to the recycles
upon proof supplied by the recycler that it has accepted the
actual number of containers for recycling.
Issues & Analysis
The law requires that local governments grant to recyclers
permits to operate either mobile facilites and/or reverse vending
machines within "convenience zones." Mobile recycling facilities
consist of typically a truck equipped with bins to hold the
recyclables. The recycling equipment would be located on the site
a minimum of 30 hours per week; at least 5 of those 30 hours must
be other than Monday thru Friday 9:OOAM to 5:OOPM. Reverse
vending machines consist of something on the order of a soft
drink machine where cans, bottles or plastic containers are
deposited one at a time in the machine and at least the one (.O1)
. cent deposit is returned automatically. These machines are
stationary or permanently fixed. Attached is a drawing supplied
by one of the companies proposing to locate a reverse vending
machine site in a convenience zone at the Lucky Market located at
10721 Atlantic Blvd.
Establishment of convenience zones was based on information
accumulated by the State Department of Conservation. A
convenience zone is an area within a one-half (1/2) mile radius
of a supermarket. A supermarket was defined as a full-line self
service retail store with gross annual sales of Two Million
dollars ($2,000,000.00) or more annually. The state established
a total of 2,743 zones, of which six (6) zones are located in.
Lynwood (a map is attached for your information).
In addition to reverse vending machines and mobile recycling
facilities, the proposed ordinance sets standards for placing
permanent recycling facilities in the manufacturing (M) zones.
The location of permanent recycling facilities would be regulated
by the ordinance as to proximity to residential zones,
landscaping, fencing parking requirements.
The ordinance sets up an administrative procedure where by
the Community Development Director would be able to issue a
permit providing the applicant complies with all the development
standards established in the ordinance for reverse vending
machines and mobile recycling facilities. The permanent
recycling facility would require a Conditional Use Permit for
placement within a Manufacturing (M) zone. "
' ,.
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 envorionment; therefore, it is not subject to the
provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended (Section
15061 b 3).
Recommendation
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,
b. Recommending that the City Council approve the
findings in Resolution No. 2153, waive reading and
introduce the proposed ordinance.

Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Amendment to Municipal Code 5ection.25-16.17 relating �.
• to the maximum height of the pole sign permitted on
sites. developed to gasoline. service stations .
standards.
Proposal
' This is an amendment to the Municipal Code with respect to the
' height of free standing signs iocated at gasoline service stations.
�;_ , � � �� �
Facts '
At the last Planning, Commission hearing the Commission was ',
asked to consider a variance for a pole sign which was located at
a Chevron gasoline service station. The purpose of the variance
was to permit the height of the sign to excel the maximum height-
permitted in the code. Section 26-16.17 relates to service .
station development standards including signing.. .
The` maximum height of the major identification sign in a service �
station development is twenty-five (25') feet. The conflict _, '
arises in the sign code, which states the maximum height of a pole .'
siqn in.a retail or commercial development is thirty-five (35')
feet. This ordinance would correct that inconsistency:
.� Issues and - Analysis
The Municipal Code maintains separate developinent standards
for,service stations and retail use, which is a direct result of
the two uses being so divergent. Service stations typically have '
a more intensive circulation pattern for a single use. Retail
developments may have multiple users, hence the 'necessity for
different signing standards. Since the two uses do differ,-it is .
appropriate that specific sign sizes, locations and numbers be,
enumerated separately in the code. However, ttiere is a section
in the service station standards which is inappropriate..
Specifically, it deals with the height of the free standing sign.
:' The sign code referring to service stations permits. the free=
standing sign to extend to a.height of twenty-five (25') feet
(Section 25-17) whereas the sign code (Sectson 25-33):for retail -
development allows a thirty-five (35') foot free-standing sign. "
s' 'To ensure consistency in the typical type of . signing on ". '
commercial sites, it is important to impose the same standard for
free-standing signs throughout the city.

PRELIMINARY PLAN
FOR
AMENDMENT N0. 3 TO THE
LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT "A"
Z. INTRODUCTZON
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.
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 I
prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments, i
economic dislocation and maladjustment which cannot be '
remedied without redevelopment. Other negative influences '
include unsafe or non-functional buildings due to aging, j
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 wa s to revitalize the communit �
Y y'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. i

,
The Preliminary Plan is an initial framework document which'
is intended to be adjusted during the review and adoption
process of Amendment No. 3 to the Lynwood Redevelopment
Project "A". More detailed and specific documents will be
prepared which target. more precise programs and actions
necessary to accomplish the revitalization process.
The proposed project area consists of lands contained within
the adopted Survey Area Boundaries. A project area is
defined in Health & Safety Code Section 33320.1 as a
predominately urbanized area of a community which has been
selected by the Planning Commission for the purpose of
initiating necessary public improvements and revitalization
of private property. "Predominantly urbanized" means not
less than eighty (80) percent of the privately owned
property in the project area:
1. has been or is developed for urban uses;
2,. is characterized by the subdividing and sale of
lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate
size for proper usefulness and development.
3. is characterized by the laying out of lots in
disregard of the contours and other topography
or physical characteristics of the ground and
surrounding conditions; or
4. is an integral part of an area developed for
urban uses.
The Planning Commission may select one or more project areas
comprised of all or part of any survey area. The lands
included within a project area may either be contiguous or '
non-contiguous. ;
The Planning Commission, pursuant to Health & Safety Code
Section 33325, must submit the Preliminary Plan for the '
Project Area to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency. Health &
Safety Code Section 33324 states that a Preliminary Plan �
need not be detailed and is sufficient if it:
a) Describes the boundaries of the Project Area. '
b) Contains a general statement of the land uses, �
layout of principal streets, population densities,
and building intensities and standards proposed as ;
the basis for the revitalization of the Project '
Area. �
i
c) Shows how the purposes of this part would be I
attained by such revitalization efforts.

II. DESCRIPTION OF TAE 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
�� B ��
III. 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 cse can be permitted in the locations and
the extent set forth in the City's General Plan:
1. Commercial
2. Residential
3. Industrial j
4. Public Uses '
IV. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS
As a basis for improving the Project Area, it is proposed I
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 i
the proposed Project Area are anticipated to transition to
commercial use over time. �

VI. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING INTENSITZES
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 i
than otherwise occur under conventional commercial i
zoning regulations. ,
7. To provide specific development standards needed for ,
' the.orderly transition of residential land uses within I
the commercial General Plan Designation. '
f
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. +

VIII. 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 people of such
areas. These areas are characterized by one or more of the
conditions set forth in Health & Safety Code Sections 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 i
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
I
5 �
. �
i
. I
' . > . . � .
�
i
= i
r
.
(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 i
currently served by narrow streets which have substandard !
paving. The growing obsolescence of these existing public �
facilities has an adverse impact on the quality of life for
residents within the Project Area.
I
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 j
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. I
I
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.
6
i
i
�
z
. .
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 occurrences 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 distribution
system; ,
�
4. Inadequate sewage disposal and distribution ;
system;
5. Flooding, inadequate drainage and lack of flood I
control facilities; '
6. Mixed and incompatible land uses; �
7. Irregularly shaped and inadequately sized parcels;
8. Vacant and under-utilized parcels; and
i
9. Inadequate facilities for the support of public
services, including public protection and recrea- �
tion.

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 i
properties into viable and productive uses; and in
the financing of development throughout the ' I
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 i
conditions within the Amendment Area by the following
actions: �
f
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. �

3. Replacement, installation, and improvement of
water lines and facilities as necessary to
increase capabilities for providing adequate fire
flows and domestic water supplies.
9. 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. I
9. In appropriate cases, rehabilitation of structures �
iricluding those of historical or architectural i
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. i
12. Disposition of property acquired for uses in p
accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. �
I
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.

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 finaac-
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-term funding
over the entire Zife 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 increasinglp
, , 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 propertp 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 Pre2iminary Plan proposes
• an identical pattern of land uses, roadways and public
� 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 j
- Project Area in order to eliminate the spread of
. detrimental influences and ultimately create a i
' more cohesive community. `j

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 all 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 I
facilities. i
6. The General Plan seeks to protect the community I
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 i
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 will insure a balanced i
approach to the preservation of aesthetic and I
environmental resources while considering the i
development needs of the area. I
8. The General Plan provides for the protection of (
the City's population from fire, flood, and �
geological 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. �

' X. GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT UPON THE RESZDENTS
AND 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 p'repared 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 acEivities will occur
only when sufficient financial resources are available and
such action will produce effective and beneficial results;
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. �

PRELIMINARY PLAN
, FOR
�' ' AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE
" 'I LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT "A"
�
. $. � � i '
��'- I. 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
f �{
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
, . r i A
ment Pro�ect
velo J •
. I I� nwood Rede p
i Amendment No.'3 to the Ly
c l _
� �' 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
� I.:" disuse due to irregular and inadequate lot layouts and
, depths,. insufficient public parking, traffic congestion, the
�.;; I I , prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments,
� ' economic dislocation and maladjustment which cannot be
j� remedied without redevelopment. Other negative influences
1 include unsa£e or non-functional buildings due to aging,
? �I defective construction, faulty spacing, overcrowding,
.'� inadequate open space and mixed and shifting uses.
i
� This plan outlines basic conditions hindering improvement
��. � and deterring the City's commercial corridors from achieving
° �r,', " �a quality equal to the quality residentiaL neighborhoods
� that lie adjacent to the proposed project area. It explores
'� f' 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
;,..- i i • local residents.

�� The Preliminary Plan is an initial framework document which
•�' is intended to be adjusted during, the review and adoption
�`�� . 3 to the Lynwood Redevelopment
process of Amendment No
.. '.' Project "A". More detailed and specific documents will be
prepared which target more precise programs and actions
!' necessary to accomplish the revitalization process.
, I
,
,.
i " The proposed project area consists of lands contained within
i the adopted Survey Area Boundaries. A project area is
i � � � defined in Health & Safety Code Section 33320.1 as a
predominately urbanized area of a community which has been
'' selected by the Planning Commission for the purpose of
' � i, initiating necessary public improvements and revitalization
of private property. "Predominantly urbanized" means not
� � less than eighty (80) percent of the privately owned
i
property in the project area:
"� I 1. has been or is developed for urban uses;
�� 2, is characterized by the subdividing and sale of
' I - I . lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate
� . size for proper usefulness and development.
.� r i 3. is characterized by the laying out of lots in
' disregard of the contours and other topography
" ` or physical characteristics of the ground and
surrounding conditions; or °
i 9. is an integral part of an area developed for
' . urban u§es.
.
, . i
i The Planning Commission may select one or more project areas
° � comprised of all or part of any survey area. The lands
included within a project area may either be contiguous or
I' f � non-contiguous.
�
^i I.� The Planning Commission, pursuant to Health & Safety Code
>I � Section 33325, must submit the Preliminary Plan for the
Project Area to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency. Health &
!, Safety Code Section 33324 states that a Preliminary Plan
i
� ' ed and is sufficient if it:
, i need not be detail
: i i '
� a) Describes the boundaries of the Project Area.
b) Contains a general statement of the land uses,
, � layout of principal streets, population densities,
' I and building intensities and standards proposed as
.'' ` � ,. the basis for the revitalization of the Project
� ' Area.
. , ;
c) Shows how the purposes of this part would be
; attained by such revitalization efforts.

VIIZ. ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW
' f ` 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.
��.I,�_ � Health & Sa£ety Code Section 33030 acknowledges that in many
cities and counties there are areas which are either
' ry, 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 people of such
`ii areas. These areas are characterized by one or more of the
�- conditions set forth in Health & Safety Code Sections 33031
i and 33032, which cause a reduction of, or lack of, proper
' i �'_ � utilization of the area to such an extent that it cannot
�; reasonably be expected to be reyersed or alleviated by
'' private enterprise acting alone. The law establishes two
, i (2p broad categories - of these conditions, one citing a
� declining physical environment which tends to diminish the
e il,, quality of life for neighborhood residents, and the second
, � describing a depressed economic environment resulting.
largely from insufficient development efforts and inadequate
public improvements.
i
'" � The physical environment is characterized by the existence
- of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for
', ;Ij ' living, commercial, or other purposes, or any combination of
,`i such uses, which may be characterized by any one or a
` combination of the following factors:
° ���
i�
� I �. (a) Defective design and character of physical
� " construction.
, (b) Faulty interior arrangement and exterior
' spacing. .
,i ° � .
�. (c) High density of population and overcrowding.
, ,
�' ' (d) Inadequate provision for ventilation, light,
� sanitation, open spaces, and recreational •
I I facilities.
,I �
'•� �i (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:

(a) The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular
�� form and shape and inadequate size for proper
,.� �
� usefulness and development.
� (b) The lapout out of lots in disregard of the
contours and other topography or physical
', � j�_ characteristics of the ground and surrounding
. i� � 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.
`.� ��, � a (d) A prevalence of depreciated values, impaired,
investments, and social and economic mal-
I` adjustment.
, ��I' ! Generally, the Amendment Area is characterized by public
i �,� facilities which require substantiaZ upgrading as a result
of an aging strip commercial corridors, industrial and
, I residential areas. These deficient facilities include
streets, lighting, guEters, storm drains, drainage lines,
� i' , water lines, and sewer lines. Some commercial areas are
' "' ' currently served by narrow streets which have substandard
� �r� • paving. The growing obso7.escence of these existing public
�� facilities has an adverse impact on the quality of life for
! residents within the Pro�ect Area.
I �
4 Portio'ns 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
, � to miti ate the negative
proper screening or landscaping 4
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.'
I � , Under-utilized properties and structures exhibiting deferred
,;i. �� � - �
, 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.

�' Many of the properties within the Amendment Area are well
e � � .
; maintained 'and are only in need of improved public
` infrastructure facilities; however, there are properties
, i', ,,_i scattered throughout the' Amendment Area which' clearly
exhibit signs of physical and economic decline.. The
deferred maintenance evident in these properties constitutes
_ I, a threat to the welfare of the entire Amendment Area. The
'• rehabilitation and revitalization of these properties is
,a ' � necessary to prevent damage to the character of the area as
! I' a whole and to attain an optimal level of economic viability
. � for the Project Area.
�' � I � Based upon field surveys, preliminary review of the current
�I :' demographic data, historical trends and discussions with
'�, ; City officials, the proposed Amendment Area displays some of
'. � ,` the negative characteristics specified in the California
� � Aealth & Safety Code. While these characteristics greatly
� vary within the Amendment Area in terms of the number of
, �� . actual occurrences and the degree of severity, these
�I ��' . conditions as a whole may be summarized as follows;
.i : . .
�� 1. Structures in need of rehabilitation;
j .
�!` 2. Inadequate street, parking and pedestrian
�` conditions;
,
�I� � 3. Inadequate water supply and distribution
.� system;
4. Inadequate sewage disposal and distribution
' system;
I
5. Flooding, inadequate drainage and lack of flood
j� control facilities; �
,
1 h+. 6. Mixed and incompatible land uses;
� �, i
7. Irregularly shaped and inadequately sized parcels;
i1
;', 8. Vacant and under-utilized parcels; and
'
�; 9. Inadequate facilities for the support of public
'°� I ; ' services, including public protection and recrea-
'. tion. `

I � Benefits from the proposed Project will occur to the
existing and future inhabitants and property owners within
i�� 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:
�I � .
' � 1. Provide for the comprehensive planning, design,
, �" replanning, development, reconstruction, or
, �� I rehabilitation of the Amendment Area in order to
'�I � facilitate a higher and better utilization of
".� I� properties within the Project Area and thereby
' I , contribute to the public health, safety, and
" welfare;
. , ,
'�. I, i 2. Stimulate construction activities and employment
"� opportunities throughout the Amendment Area;
� i i
, �
3. Assist in the financing, construction and/or
' � reconstruction of curbs, gutters, .sidewalks,
, � streets, flood control facilities, water distribu
_' I tion systems, sewage distribution systems, and
" other public facilities; and
i � , 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.
,.i, �. 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 .
i �I�' conditions within the Amendment Area by the following
i 'i
actions:
I�' y 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction,
redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs,
- i gutters, lighting, sidewalks, and other public
'i '�� improvements. �
i ,
� 2. Modification of signalization at various intersec-
� tions within the Amendment Area and proper
� .lighting of said intersections.

'�' 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,
..i developer incentives, and payment of the principal and
" I i- interest on any outstanding loans. The use of tax increment
financing would insure the availability of long-term 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.
-''r� 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
, i� � 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 public
facilities within the Amendment .Area as indicated by the
� General P1an. All future Agency activities will be consis-
,� I "' ' tent with the City's adopted General Plan, which may be
i� I summarized as follows:
,�
''..� fl 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.
�
� i ' i , 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.

�� 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
il. �_, 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
`iy� providing decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable
i • housing for all residents within the Amendment
� Area.
�� �
� ' S. The General Plan provides for the funding of
i i
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
I' ! enhancin the communit
g y, including the development
' of recreational facilities and public open space,
' and funding of on-site and off-site public
'i .
� , facilities.
`�� � 6. The General Plan seeks to protect the community
-�t from noise impacts that would jeopardize its
% !,I �i 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.
1
' i !� 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 will insure a balanced .
� approach to the preservation of aesthetic and
e� I environmental resources while considering the
'. development needs of the area.
�� �., �' g. The General Plan provides for the protection of
,� the City's population from fire, flood, and
' geological 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.

I AND THE SUAROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS
� The negative impacts the Project upon residents adjacent
, ;� . ,
i �, to the Project Area and surrounding neighborhoods will, in
�
general, be minimal. There may be short-term inconveniences
� placed upon residenEs using the circulation system within
�� the Project Area due to the anticipated public. works
'�,i improvements which the Agency may undertake from time-to-
;, time.
. ,.
i � ° Positive impacts upon residents and the surrounding neigh-
, , borhoods will, in general, be in the areas of public
'�'� facilsties and services, and environmental quality. The
, long term positive impacts will include the preservation and
.� i upgrading of the City's commercial activities and a better
� quality of life for residents Lynwood.
' �� �i In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970 (CEQA), as amended to date, an Environmental Impact
h, 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;
� � therefore; the proposed Project is intended to be phased
.` with a limited scope of direct activity at any given time.
!: This subject wi1T be discussed in depth by the Agency in the
.'.II, ' "Report to the City Council" which will accompany the
�� proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area.
