SUBJECT: Additional Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use I Permit.CUP 82053A Applicant: City of Lynwood Reauest: After review of compliance with the Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 82053A, the Planning Commission requested that an additional condition or conditions be prepared for Commission consideration. The condition(s) would reenforce the responsibility of the owner and tenant to operate the use in a safe and responsible manner in compliance with all applicable City ordinances and regulations. CUP 82053A was originally approved on June O8, 1982 to authorize the operation of a self" service gas station and car wash at 11151 Long Beach Boulevard. Backaround• At the November 8, 1995 City Council meeting, the Council received a number of complaints from neighbors concerning the operation of Andy�s Shell Station at 11151 Long Beach Boulevard. Complaints centered around aggressive panhandlers and transients congregating to try to get car wash customers to pay them to dry off their cars. At their regularly scheduled December meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to investigate compliance with conditions of approval by the operator of Andy's Shell Service Station at this location. After hearing testimony, the Commission cor.tinued the hearing to its January meeting and, after additional report and testimony, requested that one or more additional � conditions be prepared to add to CUP 82053A. Analvsis: I Staff has checked this site a number of times during January and � February. Conditions have much improved with only 2 authorized car � drying persons operating on site. No drying has been occurring on I the street and no congregation of panhandlers and transients has been observed. In order to emphasize the responsibility of the station owner and I operator and to facilitate quick response if problems should reoccur, the Planning Commission requested that additional 1 conditions be added to the original use permit. The Deputy City � Attorney has recommended the following conditions: "1. The permittee and property owner shall supervise activity on the property in a manner which insures that no violation of federal, state or local laws is committed on the property. � Such supervision may include the hiring of additional j employees or security guards or utilization of other security measures to ensure compliance. � 2. The Planning Commission shall review the permittee's i compliance with the Conditional Use Permit in 6 months from i the date of adoption of Resolution No. 2581 or sooner if necessary." i These conditions will assist the City in overseeing and regulating � the operation of this service station. i � I I i i � • .

CUP 82053A AUTHORIZING THE OPERATION OF A SELF SERVICE GAS STATION AND CAR WASH AT 11151 LONG BEACH BOULEVARD, LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood, at the request of the City Council and pursuant to law, on December 12, 1995, held a public hearing to consider compliance by the Shell Oil Company and Mr. Andy Sung ("Permittee") with conditions of approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 82053A authorizing the operation of a self service gas station and car wash at 11151 Long Beach Boulevard. After testimony, the hearing was continued to January 09, 1996. The said Permittee was present at the original hearing and subsequent continued hearings. Section 2. At the December 12, 1995 hearing, staff reported that Conditional Use Permit No. 82053A was issued upon condition that the use complies with all applicable municipal codes and ordinances and upon the finding that "the use and the conditions under which it operates will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity". Based on recent police reports and resident's complaints, staff concluded that the conditions under which the use is operating has become "detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare". Section 3. In addition, Condition J. of Conditional Use Permit 82053A requires that "All Lynwood Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance requirements shall be met". Staff reported that Condition J is not being complied with because the use was being operated in a manner that permits or allows the violation of the following Code provisions: 1. Municipal Code 3-5 '�NO person shall indulge in ... threatening or indecent conduct ... or loiter, interrupt or obstruct normal business or activity within any public place ...." 2. Municipal Code 3-23 "Prohibitions. No person shall coerce, threaten, hound, or intimidate another person for the purpose of soliciting alms on the street or at any other place that is open to the public, whether publicly or privately owned". "For the purpose of this section, soliciting shall mean asking for money or something of value, whether by word, bodily gestures, signs or other means." Section 4. Section 25-25.12 of the Zoning Ordinance provides that upon failure to comply with conditions, "The Planning � Commission shall hold a public hearing ..... and if not satisfied � that the regulation, general provision, or condition is being � complied with, may revoke the conditional use permit or take such i actions as may be necessary to insure compliance with the I regulation, general provisions, or condition." , I Section 5. The Planning Commission carefully considered all I pertinent testimony offered at the regular and continued public hearings and at the meeting of January 09, 1996 determined that in I I -. _ � � • ,; . order to insure that violations would not continue or reoccur and . < to insure appropriate monitoring of this Use Permit, two additional conditions needed to be added to Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 82053A. Section 6. Now therefore, the Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood directs that the following conditions. be added to Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 82053A: M. The permittee and property owner shall supervise�activity � on the property in a manner which insures that no violation of federal, state or local laws is committed on the property. Such supervision may include the hiring of additional employees or security guards or utilization of other security measures to ensure compliance. N.

For two of the proposed lots, and r�ecaus:= of the odd shape of the original parcel, the applicant i�as a.Lao submitted a variance request (VAR 38). For Lot 1, the reques` is to reduce the required lot area from 5,000 sq. ft. to �,172 sq.ft., the required lot length from 100 feet to I approximately 93 feet, and the required rear yard from 20 feet to ?2.5 feet. For Lot 6, the request is to reduce required lot area i°om 5,000 sq.ft. to 4,172 sq. ft. and the required lot length irom 100 feet to approximately 92 feet. At thP applicant's request, this case was continued from the last Commi:sion Meeting in order to review conditions,.,�f�approval with S�aff. F:;CTS ,.. �ource of Authoritv Section 25-18, et seq., Subdivision Regulations of the Lvnwood Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act, �overnment Code Section 66410, et seq require that a Tentative Map be submitted for the subdivision of land into five or more parcels. Section 25-26 of the Lynwood 2oning c�r_dinance permits a Variance to be obtained from the ' ?�'_anning Commission when there are special circumstances .��.aplicable to the property, and when strict application of '��ie Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges e_ljoyed by other property in the vicinity and under i.�lentical zoning classification. i ... Propertv Location. I ']�t:e property, a triangular shaped parcel, is located at the northeast corner of State Street and Weber Avenue (Block 17, i Belle-Vernon Acres M.B. 9-196), and is approximately 30,000 � square feet in size.

General Pla�esianation • � � The General Plan designation for the property is Single F'amily. The surrounding land use designatio'ns'and zoning c�assifications are as follows: General Plan Zoning North - Single Family Residential R-1 South - Multi Family Residential R-3 East - Single Family Residential R-1 West - City of Compton 5. Proiect Characteristics 7'he applicant proposes to subdivide one vacant lot into six lots in order to develop single family dwellings on each of the lots. The lot to be subdivided is triangular in shape anproximately 30,000 sq.ft. in size. The proposed subdivision, with an approval of a Variance Request, would a_low for the development of six single family dwellings on lots of 4,172 sq. ft., 5,992 sq. ft., 5,000 sq. ft., 5,000 sq, ft., 5,002 sq. ft., and 4,855 sq. ft. Off-site irnprovements are required. 6. `_;: Plan Review F:=� its regular meeting on December 28, 1995, the Site Plan �:eview Committee evaluated the proposed subdivision and recommended approval to the Planning Commission, subject to snecific conditions and requirements. ANALY S:CS 1. �onfiQUration of the Proposed Subdivision a. The design of the proposed subdivision shows the proposed lot to be in character with existing Single Family and Multi-Family Residential development in the area. e�. The proposal to subdivide one (1) parcel into six (6) lots meets the overall density requirements of the Zoning , Ordinance. c. The site is physically suitable for subdivision and Single Family Residential development. However, due to the shape of the original parcel, two odd shaped lots will be created. ' 2. Consistencv with the General Plan i -- � �,. Staff's inspection shows that the proposed subdivision . will permit future development compatible with the � Single Family Residential designation on the General i Plan. � b, The size and location of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Housing Element and the Land Use i goals and policies of the General Plan. 3. Other Findinas I ��. The site is physically suitable for the type of ( development. ; , b. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density � of development. I'I 2 �' ( � c. The d Lgn of the subdivisio or the proposed - improvei�ts will not cause subst�ial envi�onmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or � wildlife or their habitat: d. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems. e. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. ' 3. �' ariances S�af£ believes that because of the physical conditions �pecific to this property the required findings for granting a Variance can be made for this proposal. Those findings are �hat: a. The strict and enforcement of the specific regulations would result in practical difficult or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objective of the Zoning Ordinance. r�. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the subject property which do not apply to other properties in the same zone. <:. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of specified regulations would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone. d. The granting of the variance as conditioned will not constitute the granting of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity classified in the same zone. e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. _. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the orderly development of the City. Enviroamental Assessment The Community Development Department has determined that no � substantial environmental impact will result from the proposed I proje�.t. Therefore, pursuant the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Decla�ation has been prepared and is on file in the Community I Develoament Department and the office of the City Clerk.

Facts r , 1. Source of Authoritv. - While Section 25-4.b of the Lynwood Municipal Code regulates development standards in all residential zones, Section 25- 26 requires that a Variance be obtaine3.from the Planning Commission when, because of the special .circumstances applicable to the property, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. 2. Property Location and Size The site is located on on the west side of Third Avenue between Agnes Avenue and Josephine Avenue. It is rectangular and measures approximately 3,758 square feet in size. It is adjacent to an alley and has a single family house on the ' adjacent lots to the north and south. 3.

Neiahborhood Resoonse None of record at the time of preparation of the sta£f _ report. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION 1. Consistencv with General Plan The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning classification R-1 and the General Plan designation of Single Family Residential. The proposed development density will be greater than envisioned in the General Plan and permitted by tne Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, a variance is required. 2. Site Suitabilitv The property is undersiaed in relation to the proposed : development. The lot is substandard and does not meet current . _ development standards relative to lot width and lot area. Therefore, a variance is required for the project. Tne lot was divided prior to 1963 and a single-family home was constructed on the lot. The structure burned and was removed as a nuisance by the City in March 1995. 3. Compatibility The proposed project will be located in a neighborhood that is essentially single-family in character. Properties located to the north, south, east and west are developed as . single family residential. Thus, the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area. 4. Comoliance with Development Standards F-ndinas Required for Granting a Variance• Staff believes that the required findings for granting a ' Variance can be made for this request. The applicant is being deprived of a right that is enjoyed by o*_hers in similar circumstances. The lot width and lot area of this parcel should not exclude residential development for the subject site. With the exception of lot width and lot area, the proposed dwelling will meet all residential development requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. , The strict enforcement of the specific regulation will result in a practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and . conditions applicable to the property involved which do not apply generally to all other residential properties in the City. Staff recommends approval of the subject project variance for , the reduction of lot width and lot area. � . f:\var\var96-0'I . . 2 ' 5. Environmental�ssessment • � ++ . .
