Martha Rowe, 4134 Carlin Avenue, Lynwood, California, , stated the area is too crowded already; and there are too � many people and too much drug traffic. Disk 22:Mins1013 4 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.

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. ; I MOTION was made by Commissioner pove and SECONDED by ' Commissioner Cole-Dennis to adopt Resolution No. 2143, "A � RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD � APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 87064 TO CONSTRUCT TWO ,' (2) UNITS IN THE R-2 (TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONE, 12502 ; HARRIS AVENUE, LYNWOOD, CA. � The motion carrried by the following vote: ; AYES: Commissioners Dove and Kanka NOES: Commissioner Cole-Dennis ABSENT: Commissioners Pryor, Raymond, Reid ABSTAIN: Commissioner Willis, Mr. Barbosa said the absention would be counted with the � majority vote (the AYES); Mr. Woodard stated his desire i to file an appeal.

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 OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 87077 TO ALTER THE EXISTING POLE SIGN FROM ' 27' 7" TO 35' IN HEIGHT AND TO INCREASE THE SIGN FACE OF TWO � (2) PRICE SIGNS FROM 24 SQUARE FEET TO 30 SQUARE FEET." The motion carried by .the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Cole-Dennis, Dove, Kanka, Willis NOES: NONE ABSENT: Commissioners Pryor, Ramond, Reid ABSTAIN: NONE � 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 ' MUNICIPAL CODE, WITH RESPECT TO THE CALCULATION USED TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUZRED FOR THE � DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS (MINI-MALLS) UNDER 15,000 SQUARE FEET." � The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Cole-Dennis, Dove, Kanka, Willis ' NOES: NONE ABSENT: Commissioners Pryor, Raymond, Reid ' ABSTAIN: NONE � REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS . None STAFF COMMENTS• � 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 scheduled meeting on November 10, 1987. i - Appeal to City Council Planning Commission decision to � grant a Conditional Use Permit to sell beer and wine in � conjunction with the operation of a bonafide, full-service ' � Disk 22cMins1013 7 , 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. !

Zonina Enforcement History None of record. 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 3. CompatibiZity 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 area. I 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. 5. Conditions of Approval The improvements as proposed, subject to the conditions 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.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION 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.

Mas,,Director 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.

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 i i I ; 1 , 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. ; 2 ; .' - �: � � i . I -- .. � 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 upon the ' surrounding neighborhoods. 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. � � j i � � ; i. . ; 3 . c:. j . �� 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. + , � J ; � � � 4 ' I ; , � t � i ; � 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. : I � _ � � ;_ ; y ,�. - , i , L _. � � l'. 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. � i I i � � g i � , ; ' ;. I ,. ' � „ _ � -- r .... _... 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. � I � � � � I i 9 i _ I � i � - i _ � __ I 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 � � t , � � i j � i � i I � I � � � ( 10 � ; I i . i , I . � � . . � � ._ � . � i � � � I i i - , � i . i - i .. j a 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. � � I I f ' I 11 � , J I ti ` { � � � I I � � 1 t I ' 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. � , � , I � � � 12 � � : � ;.

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. .• , I . , i ' <� � � ! . f � 1 , . • i ! , ' - ' , : .`� . _ _ : i , .� � . . > � . ;: _ � . _ i. i .i ° . _ - .

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.

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: ; ', . i � , i . i ' I - � i , 5 ' ' � i r^. , . . � . . , . . . . ,i� . • Y • ' i � ' I ' . .

(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. :� , . . , , . � � - � i i �1 , ' ` _ -�� ` � � � � � , • � � � � ' . .

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. �� ; i � ., ' ' i , , � �� ; � , � � � � � � - - i � I � I I ' _ 10 j � il - .�� i� . . , � J � . � ' I � I i. .

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 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. .

GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT UPON THE RESZDENTS 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. � ; i � . . ., . ` ' � ' . - i . . �'I�. �� . � � -,: � . . , , , i- �� . . . - . _ .
