As an � alternative to this zone change, City staff is suggesting a change � to the text of the Zoning Ordinance that would permit this type of � use in the C-2 zone under certain limited conditions. � i DISCUSSION ` i One of the uses being proposed for this development is a dance � hall, with live music and where admission will be charged. This use is permitted only in the C-3, Heavy Commercial zone with a Conditional Use permit. In order to approve this use, either a i rezone or a modification to the Zoning Ordinance is required. Originally, staff suggested a rezone to C-3 or PCD (Planned i Commercial Development). This is a large piece of property on a major arterial that might qualify for a more intense use. However, the site is not big enough for a PCD designation (5 acres) and C-3 zoning would permit very heavy commercial use if the proposed use were to go out of business or the existing building was abandoned - things like auto repair facilities, equipment rental yards, dog ; kennels, feed and fuel yards, etc. Theaters and concert halls are permitted in the C-2 zone with a Conditional Use Permit and this type of use is also being proposed as part of the entertainment center. Public dances in the proposed entertainment center are similar enough to a concert hall or theater that it could be included as a conditionally permitted use � under limited circumstances and with proper regulations. If the Commission chooses to approve this proposal, then staff recommends amending the C-2 Light Commercial Zone text to add a section for those uses requiring a Conditional Use Permit - concert halls, theaters and entertainment centers. � 25-7 b. The followina uses also are permitted provided that a Conditional Use Permit has been rsnted b the Plannin Commission: 1_ Conc_ert halls auditoriums theaters (includinctlive stacxe and motion picture) 2.

The center would provide live music dancing, closed c,ircuit TV events and would be available for rental for parties, dances and reunions. The applicant also wishes to serve beer and wine in the entertainment area. Approval of this project as proposed would require an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance (ZC 96-02) and revision to the existing CUP (CUP 96-OS) to allow beer and wine to be sold throughout the building. This hearing was continued from the Commission's July 09, 1996 meeting at the request of the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency. l. Pro�ect Characteristics The applicant proposes to develop an.entertainment center I that would include a stage area, music shows (live and via direct TV), dances and closed circuit TV shows. When not scheduled for regular events, the hall would be available ' for rent for private dances, parties and reunions, school sports, folklorico dances and special meetings. In � addition, the applicant proposes to sell beer and wine in � the entertainment area. The current application shows that � parking will be provided for 172 cars. � 2.

Land Use Description The General Plan designation for the subject property is Commercial, and the zoning classification is C-2 (Light Commercial). The surrounding General Plan and Zoning are: General Plan Zoning North - Commercial North - C-2 ` South - Public Facility South - P-1 East - Single Family Residential East - R-1 West - Commercial West - C-2 7. Lvnwood Redevelooment Aaencv � The subject project is located.in the City's Redevelopment Project (Project Area "A") and has been reviewed by the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency. At its meeting on July 09, 1996, the Agency referred the project to Staff to review with the applicant and neighbors. At the meeting on August 06, 1996 the Agency recommended that the project be transmitted to the Planning Commission for processing. , On July 02, 1996, staff presented the above proposal to the � Agency for review and possible concept approval. At that meeting, several neighbors raised a number of concerns with � the project including traffic, parking, noise and dangerous or anti social behavior by the customers. The Agency ' directed staff to set up a meeting with the applicant and ! neighbors to see if a project could be designed that would be acceptable to both. Two meetings were held on July 24, 1996 and a third meeting on July 31, 1996. The first meeting was attended by 6 � people, the second by 7 and the third by approximately 34 people. � Result of Meetina with Neiahbors i At the first meeting, one neighbor supported the proposal and three others expressed limited concerns. At the second meeting, very strong objections were expressed by four neighbors and by two other interested parties. Primary i concerns were parking, noise late at night, traffic and possible criminal behavior of people attending events. One person compared this proposal to El Fallerone in the Lynwood ! Plaza, and stated that criminal activity, particularly burglary, had increased significantly since this facility began operating. At the third meeting, people appeared to be almost evenly divided between those in favor and those opposed. Those � opposed again raised the issues of parking, noise at night, and possible criminal activity. One person stated that neighboring property values.would go down if this project ' was approved. In addition, one neighbor was opposed to the suggestion of closing off alley access to Ernestine Avenue as causing inconvenience to the residents. ' Those in favor stated that would be tax benefits to the City ' _. from the project, that the project would stimulate additional economic activity, that it would provide jobs and activity for young people on weekends, and that the � applicant should be given a chance to make a profit. Two people suggested that the application be approved for 6 months and then extended if there were no serious problems. h:�staffrt\tup9608.7 � 2 � ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION 1. Consistencv with General Plan and Zonina The proposed land use is consistent with the General Plan designation of Commercial, therefore, granting the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General ' _ Plan. However, the proposal would not be consistent with Zoning unless Zone Change ZC 96-02 is approved. 2. Site Suitabilitv 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. The site has good access. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is a major arterial and can carry the quantity of traffic the proposed development would generate. The current � ADT along this arterial is 14,890 vehicles per day. Approval of this proposal will not exceed the maximum ADT. � The side street, Ernestine Avenue, is classified as a local street whose_primary function is to provide direct access to ' abutting properties. The proposed project could generate additional traffic on Ernestine Avenue by patrons looking ' for parking spaces. 3. Alternatives to the Pr000'sed Use - Staff suggested the possibility of lower impact uses that could be phased over time, such as young peoples concert ' hall without dancing or beer and wine, and the Discovery Zone restaurant/arcade. This would allow the applicant to test out possible uses and demonstrate to the City and the neighbors that the uses could be operated in a safe and ! responsible manner. (-See attachment B) 4. Possible Mitiaatinq Measures In response to questions and concerns voiced at the meeting with neighbors, the applicant indicated that he would: 1. close off the alley access to Ernestine Avenue to ' reduce possible traffic and parking impacts. 2. provide one security person per 100 persons at each event. 3. station security people in the parking lot, at the doors and on Ernestine Avenue to provide crowd control and security. 4. soundproof all exit doors. The applicant also indicated that he would consider providing a Discovery Zone type use. In order to limit problems of overflow parking, Staff has � recommended limiting the area available for concerts and � other assembly to match the amount parking available. Under the current parking plan, this means that about 2/3 of the main assembly area could be used for dances or concerts (about 7,000 sq. ft.). ' 5. Conditions of Approval The improvements as proposed, subject to the conditions recommended by the Community Development Department, will not have a negative effect on the values of the surrounding properties or interfere with or endanger the public health, safety or welfare. 3 i 6. Benefits to Communitv The proposal will facilitate upgrading the commercial use of the property and support the commercial designation of the General Plan. However, unless carefully controlled, the proposed use could have severe impacts on the neighboring residential areas. - 7. Environmental Assessment The Community Development Department has determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the. environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared and is on file in the Community Development Department office and in the office of the City Clerk. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that after consideration the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2595: I 1. Certifying that the project will not have a negative � effect on the environment, the Director of Community � Development has issued a Negative Declaration. � 2.

Discussion: On May 14, 1996 the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 96-05 to permit the sale of beer and wine in a restaurant at 3840 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The sale of beer and wine was restricted to the restaurant and lounge area only and also was required to be sold only in conjunction with a food order. The lessee and operator of the restaurant now wishes to expand operations to include an entertainment center which would occupy a large area to the rear of the existing restaurant. The applicant wishes to extend the sale of beer and wine to the entertainment area-during the hours of operation.

Pronertv Location and Size The site is located on the south side of Martin Luther Kir.g Jr. Blvd. between Bullis Road Ernestine Avenue (see the attached location map). The subject property is a generally rectangular group of lots, approximately 89,600 square feet _ in size (including rear parking area). .. �'xistina Land Use The sice conLains a large building with a vacant bowling alley and restaurant. The surrounding land uses are as follows: - North - Commercial South - Public/Semi Public East - Resiaen*ial West - Commercial 4. Land Use Desianation The General Plan designation for the subject property is Commercial, while the Zoning Classification is C-2 (Light Commercial). The surrounding land use designations and zoning are as follows: General Plan Zoning North - Commercial C-2/P-1 South - Commercial C-2/P-1 East - Single Family Residential R-2 West - Commercial C_2 5. Pro Characteristics The applicant proposes•to sell beer and wine only in an existing restaurant and lounge. The restaurant seating area is over 1,200 sq. ft. with seating for approximately 40 persons in booths and has counter seating for 26 additional customers. There is additional seating at booths and tables in the lounge area for 50 more people. The restaurant has been operating as a restaurant for the past several months. 1 � City Ordinance No. 1141 allows a bona fide restaurant to sell alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption if granted a conditional use permit. BONA FIDE RESTAURANT is defined as a place which is regularly ^' used and kept open for the serving of ineals to guests for compensation and which has suitable kitchen facilities fo= cooking of an assortment of foods which may be required for meals. - ' 5. Si�e Plan Review A� i�s r>gular meeting on April 30, 199b, the Site Plan �eview Committee evaluated the proposed request ana recommended approval to the Planning Commission subject to stated conditions. 7. Zonina Enforcement Historv None of record for this lessee at the time this report was prepared. Warnings have been given concerning signage and parking. �. Neiqhbornood R�soonse Staff has received several complaints from neighbors ' concerning parking problems when the former bowling alley area has,been used as a meeting facility. One neighbor complained about parking problems ac the May 07, 1996 Council meeting. No complaints have been received concerning the operation or tne restaurant. ANALYSIS AND CONCL _. Consistencv with General Plan and Zonina Ordinance Th= pr000sed land use is consistent with the existing zoning classification of C-2 and the General Plan designation of Commercial. Bone fide restaurants are exempt from the distance - requirements for bars, taverns and off sale facilities. The -estauranL also exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirements for a minimum seating area of 800 sq. ft. and seating for 40 customers for restaurants serving beer and wine. However, beer and wine cannot be sold in the lounge area unless it is in conjunction with a food order. Without food, the lounge becomes a bar or tavern which must be a minimum of 500 ft. away from residential uses. 2 Comoatibilitv The existing restaurant has commercial uses to the north and west with a large parking area to the south. However, there is residential development to the east. There have been ongoing problems and complaints concerning.the primary lessee of this building allowing parking for large trailer trucks and cabs in *_he building's parking lot. Recently, the current restaurant lessee has been allowing large meetings in the vacant bowling a11ey area. This has lead to a number of complaints, one at the May 07, 1996 Council meeting, about overflow parking clogging local streets, blocking driveways and parking in front of fire hydrants and loitering around the building late at night. Permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages at this site would not be incompatible with the adjacent commercial uses, but may aggravate the negative effects on adjacent residential uses. I The restaurant lessee was told by the Director of Community Development and again by the Planning Manager on May O1, and � May 02, 1996 not to allow large scale assembly on the site. i Not only is it a nuisance but assembly halls are not a � 2 I permitted use in the zone and the applicant has no business license for providing assembly facilities. On Sunday, May 06, 1996 at approximately 11:_30 a.m. the Planning Manage: observed a large number of cars in both parking lots, many with stickers supporting CWA, the group using the meeting facility. Also Superior Market had posted signs at two entrances to their parking lot saying "Customer Parking Only, No CWA Parking". 3. CONCLUSION Tne appiicant for Conditional Use Permit Case No. CUP 96-05 is currently noc operating in compliance with City Ordinance reaui-ements relating to large scale assembly. In spi�e o� severa� warn_ngs he seems unwilling or incapable of controllina this property and complying with City � requiremen�s. Issuing a CUP to serve beer and wine in this' restaurant will only aggravate the problem and increase the negative imoac*s on the neighbors. _ For these reasons, Staff believs that the Conditional Use ?erm3t should r.o� be approved at this time. If the Plannina � Commission wisnes, this application can be continued to the next meetinc to allow tne applicant time to demonstrate ' compliance wi�h all City Ordinances. If the Commission ; wisnes to approve this reauest, a draft resolution is attached. � �NVIRONMENTAL ASSESSM�NT � _. �, The Community Dev=lopment Director has determined that the � nroject is categorically exempt from provisions of the California ; �nvironmental Quality Act, oursuant to Section 15061b (3) of the j State CEQA Guidelines as amended. i � a��OMMENDATION S:a=f reaues*_s *hat the Planning Commission, after coasideration, concinue tnis hearing to the next regularly, scheduled meeting and direc* Staff to work with the applicant to bring tne operacion o` this �acility into compliance with all C_t}- Ordinances-and,recrula�ions. - Attachments _.

Chic6ts, Director Community Development Department BY: Robert Diplock, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Possible Revisions to Conditional Use Permit CUP 139 Applicant: Watts Health Foundation Inc. PROPOSAL: To have the Planning Commission consider a request from the Watts Health'FOUndation, Inc. for authorization to expand the operation of their Women and Children Residential Rehabilitation Center at 3598 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the H-M-D (Hospital, Medical, Dental) zone to their approved occupancy load (135 persons maximum) in order to apply for funds to initiate a Community Prisoner Mother Program. BACKGROUND: On JuTy 26, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 139 (Resolution 2501 attached). That approval was based on a business plan that indicated that clients would be selected from�referrals from various social service agencies of women who have completed detoxification and who will be provided treatment and rehabilitation services. The facility is currently operating at approximately 1/2 the originally authorized dccupancy of 135 persons. The Watts Health Foundation, the service provider, now wishes to submit a grant application for funds to establish a new program in the Martin Luther King facility under the State Department of Corrections' Community Prisoner Mother Program (CPMP). Services provided would be similar to or the same as what is currently being provided. Part of the grant application requires a letter from the city "acknowledging the intended use of the facility", and that, barring any environmental issues a CUP will be granted. Property Location and Size• , The subject property is located on the west side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Norton Avenue and is approximately 45,000 square feet in-size. Land Use Designation: The General Plan Designation for the sub�ect property is Hospital, Medical and Dental while the Zoning Classification is H-M-D. The surrounding land use designations are as � follows: I General Plan Zoning North - Commercial North - CB-1 South - Commercial South - C-2 East - Commercial East - C-2/P-1 West - Residential/Commercial West - R-3/H-M-D ' DISCUSSION: The CDMP provides "housing, sustenance, supervision and programming to meet the special needs of incarcerated mothers" in order to help them "bond with their children and strengthen the family unit." Information provided as part of the grant application package states that "The CUP must reflect... recognition of the inmate screening criteria identified in Section II .. More restrictive criteria wi11 not be accepted". In addition, it is stated that " The CUP cannot establish any requirements which compromise the security of the CDMP." Section II states that the program is open to inmate mothers with less than six years remaining on their sentence with children under the age of six... Although this is undoubtedly a valuable program, staff believes that it is a significant departure from the existing program here in Lynwood and has the possibility of significant adverse impacts on the city and the surrounding commercial and residential areas. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission: 1. Find that the proposed expansion of operations is a significant change from the original program concept with potential serious adverse affects on the City and neighboring residential areas. 2. Deny authorization for the addition of this type of program to the Watts Health Foundation facility. planning\cup139r.rpt STATE OF CALI�ORNIA �?

PROJECT INTRODUCTION The California Department of Corrections (CDC) is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids for four Community Prisoner Mother Program �CPMP) Facilities, one in each of foliowing regio�al areas: (1) Southern California, ' 15 beds; (2) Los Angeles, 23 beds; (3) Central California; 15 beds, and the (4) Bay Area, 15 beds. See Map, Attachment 2, for area descriptions. The CPMP facilities will provide housing, sustenance, supervision, and programming to meet the special needs of incarcereted mothers. Programming includes parenting skilis development, child development, substance abuse education and relapse prevention, vocationai and educational training, counseling, and pre-release planning. The intended purpose of providing the above programming is to establish stability in parent-child relationships and to assist the successful transition back into the community. A. Purpose ` The California Department of Corrections (CDC) is requesting proposals from �, experienced providers of substance abuse treatment and services to women and children. The goal of the CPMP is to provide a safe, stable, wholesome, and ' stimulating environment for both mothers and their child(ren). The primary focus '� of the CPMP is to provide the opportunity for inmate mothers to bond with their � children and strengthen the family unit. In order to achieve these goals, inmate � mothers wili participate in a structured program to address substance abuse , � � - '�ommunity Prisoner MotherProgram 3 RFP Number C96.089 1 _ j issues, emotional stability, self estgem, and employment skills. These services will be provided to women and children on the facility premises, and by utilizing established services in the community that assist in developing survival skills ' which promote a functioning, self-sufficient family. B. Background Statement . --- The CPMP is authorized by Assembly Bill (AB) 512 (1978) and operates under I Penal Code Section 3410. Services for "the program are curcently provided by i seven private Contractors under the administration of Parole and Community ' Services Division (PBCSD�. The initial design of .the program allowed inmate � mothers with less than two years remaining on their sentence to reside in a � community correctional center with tfieir children under age two. Since 1980, the length of the sentence left to serve has increased to six years and now allows �', ' children under the age of six to participate in the program. During this same ` �- period, the program increased from one facility with six beds, to a total of seven � facilities with 94 beds and the program is now being-administered by the Office of � Community Resources Development (OCR), Women and Childre�'s Services Unit � (WCSU). ' i I Contracts for five of the facilities will expire on June 30, 1996. The purpose of this � RFP is to solicit bids for one facility located in each of the four geographical , regions of, Los Angeles, Southern Califomia, Central California and the Bay Area, I as designated in Section II, "Project Introduction", (see Map, Attachment 2). � � C. Problem Statement ' Before CPMP was implemented, following delivery of an infant, all incarcerated mothers were immediately separated from their child and remained in prison to complete the term of their sentence. The child or children of this mother would be placed in a foster home or with a relative. The child would usually have a long distance relationship with the mother. The Legislature determinedthat-it is in the best interest_of the child if the mother is permitted to serve her time in a community facility, receive educational, vocational, parenting skills training and at the same time bond with her child(ren). CPMP �romotes community reintegration, independent living, and self-reliance. The ultimate goal of this program is to reunite mothers with their child�ren) and re-integrete them back into � society as productive citizens. � � D. Program Goals and Objectives ' The program goals and objectives of this Request for Proposal (RFP) are to ' contracY with a vendor to provide community based housing for both mother and child(ren). The intended purpose of the program is to establish stability in the parent-child relationship, reduce the use of alcohol and drugs, reduce involvement in criminal behavior and reduce the rate of recidivism; thereby, reducing the long-term costs to the State. ; _ � � ; ; : i I , ''•! tn� T t. p (� DATE: August 13, 1996 �'��"1�� Lll� �V. l: P„� f_ .�i �, G _ — T0: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: Gary C. Chicots, Director Community Development Department BY: Robert Diplock, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Possible Revisions to Conditional Use Permit CUP 139 Applicant: Watts Health Foundation Inc. PROPOSAL: To have the Planning Commission consider a request from the Watts Health'FOUndation, Inc. for authorization to expand the operation of their Women and Children Residential Rehabilitation Center at 3598 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the H-M-D (Hospital, Medical, Dental) zone to their approved occupancy load (135 persons maximum) in order to apply for funds to initiate a Community Prisoner Mother Program. _ BACKGROUND: On July 26, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 139 (Resolution 2501 attached). That approval was based on a business plan that indicated that clients would be selected from' referrals from various social service agencies of women who have completed detoxification and who will be provided treatment and rehabilitation services. The facility is currently operating at approximately 1/2 the originally authorized occupancy of 135 persons. The Watts Health Foundation, the service provider, now wishes to submit a grant application for funds to establish a new program in the Martin Luther King facility under the State Department of Corrections' Community Prisoner Mother Program (CPMP). Services provided would be similar to or the same as what is currently being provided. Part of the grant application requires a letter from the city "acknowledging the intended use of the facility", and that, barring any environmental issues a CUP will be granted. Pr__opertv Location and Size: The subject property is located on the west side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Norton Avenue and is approximately I� 45,000 square feet in size. - i ' Land Use Desicrnation: � The General Plan Designation for the subject property is � Hospital, Medical and Dental while the Zoning Classification is H-M-D. The surrounding land use designations are as ! follows: General Plan Zoning � North - Commercial North - CB-1 , South - Commercial South - C-2 East - Commercial East - C-2/P-1 � West - Residential/Commercial West - R-3/H-M-D � i i i � I __ . DISCUSSION: � The CDMP provides "housing, sustenance, supervision and programming to meet the special needs of incarcerated mothers" in order to help them "bond with their children and strengthen the family unit."- Information provided as part of the grant application package states that "The CUP must reflect... recognition of the inmate screening criteria identified in Section II .. More restrictive criteria will not be accepted". In addition, it is stated that " The CUP cannot establish any requirements which compromise the security of the CDMP." Section II states that the program is open to inmate mothers with less than six years remaining on their sentence with children under the age of six. Although this is undoubtedly a valuable program, staff believes that it is a significant departure from the existing program here in Lynwood and has the possibility of significant adverse impacts on the city and the surrounding commercial and residential areas. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission: 1. Find that the proposed expansion of operations is a significant change from the original program concept with potential serious adverse affects on the City and neighboring , residential areas. 2. Deny authorization for the addition of this type of program to the Watts Health Foundation facility. � I � 1 � i � planning\cup139r.rpt i I I � I � I � � � � l , I , � _ STATE OF CALIfORN1A �,- Department of Corrections TABLE OF CONTENTS Community Prisoner Mother Program RFP Number C96.089 -- pAGE RFP PROJECTED TIMETABLE i /.

BACKGROUND: ' The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 139 (Resolution 2501) on July 26, 1994. One of the conditions of approval requires periodic review of the applicant's compliance with all of requirement and conditions. _ On March 14, 1995 .staff reported to the Planning Commission on their visit to the facility and their review of compliance with Conditions of Approval. At that time, the facility was in limited operation (10 adult residents and 9 children). Staff reported that only minor conditions remained to be complied with and the Commission authorized issuance of a Certif'icate of Occupancy for that portion of the facility currently being used. The Commission also directed staff to conduct an additional review in one year. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: ' Planning staff and the Chief Building Inspector made an unannounced tour of the Watt Health Foundation facility the week of July 22, 1996. The facility is operating at about half.capacity - a total of . 65 or so.clients and staff. Both the exterior and the interior of the building look very good. The interior remodel is complete and most of the rooms are furnished. The hallways, floors and rooms are very clean - to hospital standards. The kitchen and dining areas are also very clean and neat. There was a discarded toilet and some bad smelling debris in the dumpster area adjacent to the patio facing Norton Avenue, which has since been cleaned up. Parking did not seem to be a problem at the time of staff � inspection. There were two vacant spaces in the parking area. Since that time, staff has driven by twi and noticed several free parking spaces. The one condition that remains to be complied with is the planting � of street trees along Norton Avenue. The Foundation is currently working with the Public Works Department to meet this condition. � Staff has received no complaints from neighbors about the operation ' of this facility. The City's Central Complaint Office also reports _ no complaints. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectful requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission determine that the Watts Health Foundation program � currently is operating in substantial compliance with Conditions of Approval contained in Resolution 2501.
