SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Case No. CUP 67 R
Applicant: City of Lynwood
� Proposal:
' .Staf£ is requesting that the Planning Commission consider
" revoking Conditional Use Permit No. 67 (CUP 67) that allows the
operation of an automotive repair shop at 10700 Atlantic Avenue,
. in the C-3 (Heavy Commercial) Zone.
Facts �• �
1. Source of Authoritv
,Section 25-25.12 of the Zoning Code allows the Planning..
� , 'Commission to hold.a public hearing in order to reconsider,
suspense or revoke an approved Conditional Use Permit. �'
` 2. Background '
� This case was continued from the September 12, 1995
Planning Commission meeting in order to.allow the property
;owner/operator to comply with all Conditions of Approval.
�The Commission required that Staff monitor the business and
�.note the number of cars on the.lot during in'vestigations. .
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION: �
` The Conditions of Approval under CUP 67 have still not been fully
met. As of Staff inspection on October 5, 1995, the following
conditions have not been totally complied with:
12. No damaged or wrecked vehicles shall be stored on site.
�, No portion of the site shall be used for storage unless it •
is auto repair related activity.
13. On site traffic circulation and parking should be
developed in such a manner that ingress and egress accesses ,
are separated or channeled so that conflicting traffic
, movements are minimized. -
14. Open storage of materials, products and equipment shall
be completely concealed from view of vehicular and
�pedestrian traffic by an architectural barrier approved by
' the Community Development department Director or his/her
designee.
15.. The property shall be uaed solely for auto repair
• service per plans submitted. .
' • 17. No less then seven percent (7�} of the total site,
excluding lot area dedicated to public right-of-way, shali
; be landscaped. The landscaping plans shall be approved by
the Community Development Director.prior to installation. '
� 24. All signage must be reviewed and approved by the
Blanning, Building, and Redevelopment Divisions; and a
-, building permit for signage must be issued by the Building •
Division. � j
i
' 25. All security fences, grills, etc. shall be
architecturally compatible with the design of the subject
and adjacent buildings. In addition, no security fences,
° � grills,etc. shall be installed without prior written
approval of the Director of Community Development and
. required building permits.
26. The existing property shall be cleaned and maintained
in a sanitary condition and shall be maintained in a neat
and orderly manner at all times. Failure to comply may
result in the revocation of this Conditional Use Permit.
With respect to the Conditions'of Approval relative to signage
requirements, the applicant has received approval of a proposed
sign program by the Community Development Department. However,
there are still an excessive number of vehicles being stored on
the site.
On October 2, 1995, Staff counted fifteen (15) vehicles parked or
stored on the subject site. On October 5, 1995, Staff recorded
26 cars on the lot. Of the 26; thirteen (13) cars had work
orders.
A check of license plates indicate that these vehicles are newly
moved onto the site. None of the plates match those recorded by
the Commission last month.
Benefits to Communitv
The existing development, as operated, does not assist in
� upgrading the surrounding area, and does not support the purpose
and intent of the General Plan.
Environmental Assessment
Actions by a regulatory agency to revoke a permit are
categorically exempt under Section 15321 of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared
and filed with the County Clerk.
Conclusion
As described above, the applicant/owner is still not in
compliance with all conditions of the Conditional Use Permit as
contained in Resolution No. 2367. Some efforts have been made
in trying to carry out the requirements for landscaping, signage,
and trash containment. However, the license plates checked
shows ;that the owner/operator is continuing.to move in and store
vehicles on the lot in violation of the Conditional Use Permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that, after public testimony and
consideration by the Commission, the Planning Commission revoke
Conditional Use Permit Np. 67

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF`THE CITY OF
LYNWOOD REVOKING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 67 WITH
RESPECT TO PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10700 ATLANTIC AVENUE,
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,
pursuant to law, on July 11, 1995, held a public hearing to
'-. consider compliance by Mr. Eduardo Jerezand ("Permittee") with
conditions of approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 67 granted
to establish an automotive repair facility at 10,700 Atlantic Avenue
("the Property"). The said was present at.that hearing
' and subsequent continued hearings.
' Section 2. The Planning Commission, at the July 11, 1995
meeting and at the continued hearings on August 08, 1995, September `
- 12; 1995 and October 10, 1995 ,determined' that, in spite of
direction by the Commission, a number of conditions of.approval of
CUP 67 were not being complied with.
- Section 3. The Planning Commission carefully considered all
pertinent testimony offered at. the regular and continued public
hearings and determined.that Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 67 '
should be revoked.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds, pursuant to Section
25-25.12 of the Lynwood Municipal Code, that:
A. Conditional Use Permit No.,67 was granted on Ap'ril 09, 1991
to Permittee to operate an auto repair service at'10700 AtlantiC
Avenue in the City of Lynwood. Said permit contained 44 conditions
of approval, and required' that conditions must be observed and
` complied with at all times.
" B. The Planning Commission may revoke a Conditional Use Permit
� after public hearing if it determines t�hat a condition of approval
of the:Conditional Use Permit' is not being complied with. Also,
condition number 33 of Conditional Use Permit 67, ,contained in
Resolution No. 2367, states that " Any violation of conditions in
this resolution may result in revocation or modification of the
Conditional Use Permit by the issuing body at a regularly scheduled
' meeting".
C: Condition 12 of the CUP states that "No damaged or wrecked
, vehicles shall be stored on site. No portion-of the site shall be
used for vehicle storage unless they are-vehicles awaiting repair".
, Since December 6, 1994 staff has determined that over 20 cars have
` been stored on site, with no more than 4 or 5 awaiting repair. �
Staff reinspected the site in January and February of 1995, on June
29, July 5, October 02 and October 5, 1995-. On all these occasion,
at least 15 vehicles were being stored on site. Staff reported '
this to the Planning Commission at each' of the continued public
' hearings. At each of the hearings, the permittee agreed to remedy
the situation but has not done so. On September 11, 1995 staff
visited the site and observed 13 cars and vans and one flat bed tow
� tr-uck stored two levels deep in the designated parking area. $taff
was told by Permittee that 3 of the cars were being worked on.' On
October S, staff recorded'26 vehicles on the site, only 13 of which
had work orders.
�• , .
D. Condition 14 of the CUP states that "Open storage of
' materials, products and equipment shall be completely concealed
from view of vehicular and pedestrian traffic by,an architectural
barrier approved by the Community Development Department Director
or his/her designee" . No plan for an architectural barrier has ever
been submitted for approval. The landscaping that would partially
• conceal products and equipment has not been installed.
E. Condition 15 states that "The property shall be used solely
for auto repair service per plans submitted". Plans submitted show
6 required parking spaces. These spaces have ben covered by stored
� cars during eveiy inspection of the property and therefore, not
available for customer parking.
F. Condition 17 states thaC "No less than seven percent (70)
of the total site, excluding lot area dedicated to public right of
way, sha11 be landscaped. The landscape plan shall be approved by '
the Community Development Director prior to installation". No
landseape plan has been submitted for approval. Areas have been ••
' °constructed for landscaping, but no landscaping has been
installed'.
G. Condition 25 states, in part, ".... no security fences, .
; grills, etc, shall be installed without prior written appro'val of
_ the Director of Community Development and required building
, permits." No approval has ever been requested or granted for
` security fences and grills on the site.
- H. There is non compliance with the following Conditions of
Approval of CUP 67: Conditions No. 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 23, and 25.
, Condition 24 has been partially complied with. These conditions are
reasonable conditions which were imposed in the interest of
-- protecting the public safety and general welfare. The above
' described violations of conditions have resulted in vehicular
traffic hazards, reduced availability of on street parking and the
creation of blight in the immediate vicinity. These violations have �
resulted in adverse impacts on surrounding commercial and
" residential property. -
I. Since at least July of 1995, the Planning Commission has
given'Permittee ample opportunity to comply with the c'onditions of
approval described above. While the degree of non compliance has
lessened slightly since July 1995, the Permittee has demonstrated
an unwillingness or inability to comply with reasonable conditions
, of approval of CUP 67.
: J. Pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code Section 4-9.1, a
business license may be suspended for reasons including violations
of provisions of the Lynwood Municipal Code. Pursuant to Municipal
Code Section 4-9.5, a business license may be suspended or revoked
by City Council for reasons set forth in Section 4-9.1. The
- conditions of approval constitutes an order or regulation of the
CiGy imposed pursuant to authority in the Municipal Code.
Accordingly, the City Manager and/or City Council should consider
suspension or revocation of the business license in effect on the ,
property.
5ection 5. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning
Commission hereby revokes Conditional Use Permit 67. The Planning •
Commission also hereby requests that City staff take the steps
necessaiy for the City Manager and/or City Council to consider
suspension or revocation of the business license in effect on the

8. Zonina Enforcement Historv
None of Record
9. Public Responses
No written submittals at the time this report was prepared.
ANALYSZS AND CONCLUSION:
1. Consistencv with General Plan and Zoning
. � The General Plan specifies that the M zone is compatible
with the General Plan "Industrial" category and the proposed
land use is permitted in the existing zoning classification
, of M(Manufacturing). Therefore, granting Conditional Use
Permit No. 95-10 will not adversely affect the General Plan.
2.. Site SuitabilitV
" The property is adequate in.size and.shape to accommodate
the,proposed development , relative to structures, parking,
walls, fences, landscaping, and other development features
required by the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the subject
property is adequately served with public utilities and
offer adequate vehicular and'pedestrian accessibility.
, 3.. Compatibilitv
' The proposed development is surrounded by other uses
compatible to it in the subject industrial area. The
�, building on site contains a plywood operation and a beauty
product supply bus�iness. The plywood operation, which
utilizes, approximately, 70 $ of the building is in the
process of moving. Therefore; the remaining use will be :
compatible with the subject use. However, residential uses
� lie along Mona Boulevard and 118th Street in Los Angeles
Gounty just west of the subject site.

� 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

SUBJECT: Zonina Ordinance Amendment ZOA 95-07 Modifications to
Uses Permitted in the C(Commerciall and M(Manufacturina)
Zones and Related ChanQes
, Applicant: City of Lynwood
' PROPOSAL:.
The.City of Lynwood is proposing to amend the Zoning Ordinance to
addlcertain permitted uses to the CB-1 zone, reduce the number of
heavy commercial uses permitted in the C-2 and C-2A zones, and
restYict commercial and personal service uses permitted in the M
(manufacturing) zone. The amendments are deaigned to permit
� certain new uses, protect the City's commercial areas from heavy
commercial and manufacturing development, and to minimize the
intrus'ion of commercial uses into the City's limited industrial
areas.
_ In addition, certain cleanup items are included, primarily to
clarify wording and to move a variety of special regulations
� currently scattered through the "permitted uses" sections into'a
separate "General and Special Regulations" section. ,
The oderall proposal was discussed briefly at the Commission's last
,- meeting,_ and was continued to.this.meeting.
FACTS:
'. The City's current zoning ordinance permits almost all commercial
uses in every commercial zone except the CB-1 zone. It also permits
° manufacturing uses in the C-2A and C-3 zone and all retail and
personaI service uses in the M zone. In addition, the Ordinance
• permits poultry or rabbit killing in the C-3 zone, in conflict with
other provisions prohibiting the slaughter of animals in the City.
The Ordinance also scatters long sections of special regulations
for specific uses in the "permitted uses" section of the Ordinance,
making it difficult to find permitted uses.
- DISCUSSION:
Usually zoning ordinances have graded sets of zones, starting with
the lightest, low impact uses and moving up to the heaviest, high
: impact uses. In fact three of Lynwood's commercial zones are named
"light commercial",_ "medium commercial", and."Heavy commercial".
� However, as can be seen from the attached table, the Lynwood zoning
ordinance permits almost all commercial uses in each C zone (except
for CB-1). The C-2 light commercial zone permits some fairly heavy
uses - including car washes, blueprinters, furniture storage,
multiple tenant retail, plant nurseries, taxidermists, and
tinsmiths. In addition, manufacturing uses are pe'rmitted in the
C-2A and C-3 zones.
, Most of our heaviest commercial zoning has been applied along our
most visible arterial streets - C-2A and C-3 along Long Beach
Boulevard, and C-3 along Atlantic Avenue north of the Century
freeway.
With major improvements being planned or constructed along these
streets, staff does not think it is appropriate to allow battery
rebuilding, bottling plants, cold storage plants, commercial
laundries or personal storage buildings along Atlantic Avenue, or�
taxidermists, tinsmiths, sign manufacturing or tire retreading
along Long Beach Boulevard.
.
� On the other hand, certain light commercial uses that one would ,
expect to be desired or appropriate are not specified as being
permitted in the CB-1 zone.
In addition, the M(manufacturing) zone permits any retail and
personal service use. Staff believes that it would be wiser to
, utilize scarce manufacturing land for actual manufacturing and'
industrial activities and encourage retail and personal services to
locate in existing commercial and office space. Retail or service
uses in Manufacturing zones should be limited to those uses that
directly serve manufacturing employment. .
PROPOSAL:
In order to resolve the problems discussed above, staff is
proposing the following modifications to the Zoning Ordinance:
. 1. add certain light commercial uses as permitted uses to the CB-1
zone,
2. eliminate a number of heavy commercial uses permitted in the C-2
and C-2A zones,
3. restricts commercial and personal service uses permitted in the
M (manufacturing) zone.
. The proposed additions and deletions are shown on the attached
table.
Specifically, the proposed amendment would:
1. add concert halls, drug stores, delicatessens, newsstands,
business and professional offices as permitted uses in the
CB-1 (Controlled Business) zone.
1. eliminate manufacturing uses currently permitted in the C-2A
(Medium Commercial) zone and the C-3 (Heavy Commercial) zone
2. limit retail and personal service uses permitted in the M
(Manufacturing) zone to only those incidental to or providing
services to the manufacturing or industrial uses (for example,
a blueprint service, day care center or small delicatessen
serving workers in an industrial park).
5. add cafeteria and personal services, and eliminate alcoholic
beverage sales (off sale), billiard parlors, blueprint
companies, car washes, electric distribution substations,
furniture storage, medical labs, plant nurseries, recycling
facilities, taxidermists, tinsmiths, trade schools, as
permitted uses in the C-2 (Light Commercial ) zone.
6. eliminate alcoholic beverage sales (off sale), wholesale
bakeries, ceramic manufacturing, electrical equipment
manufacturing, tinsmiths, tire .retreading and wholesale
bakeries as a permitted use in the in the C-2A (Medium
Commercial) zone.
7. add equipment rental yards, eliminate bottling plants, cold
atorage plants, feed and fuel yards, as a permitted use in the
in the C-3 (Heavy Commercial) zone.
8. eliminate alcoholic beverage sales (off sale), dressmakers,
drug stores, dry goods sales and add wholesale bakeries,
batteiy rebuilding as permitted uses in the M(manufacturing)
zone.
9. add auto reconditioning, commercial printing, and tire
retreading as permitted uses in the M(Manufacturing) zone.

SUBJECT: Zonina Ordinance Amendment ZOA 95-08 Amendment to -
Reauirements for the Sale of Alcoholic Beveraaes for On,
. Site Consumption �
�� Applicant: City of Lynwood
FACTS �
'_- Recently the Commission considered a request from a small family
style restaurant for a Conditional Use Permit to sell beer and •
wine. The Commission approved the request because,the applicant
appeazed to meet all Zoning Ordinan"ce requirements. However, the
Commission expressed concern about the possibility of a large
number of beer and wine licenses being ;approved for small
restaurants.
When this application was heard by the City Council, the Council
, expressed similar concerns and denied the application. They also
directed staff to look at possible revisions to standards and'
"regulations concerning Conditional Use •Permits for on site
alcoholic beverages. '
ANALYSIS •
' Staff- looked at the alcoholic beverage. regulations for six
neighboring cities and our own regulations regarding on-site liquor
- sales. We also evaluated the size and location of "restaurants in
: Lynwood with Conditional Use Permits to serve alcoholic beverages
on site . �
Our current ordinance restricts the locaeion of bars and taverns
but has' no locational restrictions on bona fide restaurants. The °
only restriction is that 510 of tfie restaurant's gross receipts
shall.be from food sales. Theoretically, this would allow fast i
food restaurants to qualify for on site alcoholic beverage sales, j
as well as restaurants that do much of their business as take out: �
., I
- To resolve the problems with the current ordinance, staff suggests
the following: . ,
. . i
1. clarify that the 51°s of gross receipts from food sales shall �
.. be from food consumed on the premises.• •
�
� 2. establish a minimum size for restaurants that can be allowed I
to serve beverages. � �
. . �
_' Using 'some of our medium sized' restaurants as examples, an ;
, appropriate minimum size is suggested to be 2600 sq. ft. of food ,
service area and a minimum seating at tables or_ booths. for 40 �
persons. ' '
,
. BNVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: ' �
�
t
The Director of Community Development has determined that no ;
significant adverse environmental impacts will result from the �
proposed Ordinance change, therefore a Negative Declaration has I
.been prepared and filed in the,Community Development Department and �
in the office,of the City Clerk. ' . '

: SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR A LAND USE COMPATIBILITY AND DESIGN
DETERMINATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OWNER PARTICIPATION
; �' AGREEMENT' SETWEEN THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND
' IRA KHOSHNOOD ET.AL. FOR A PROPOSED COMMERCIAL
' DEVELOPMENT AT 12217 ATLANTIC AVENUE WITHIN REDEVELOPMENT
,- PROJECT AREA "A". '
Reeuest•
. The C'ity Council has referred a'request to determine land use
� compatibility and appropriateness of design in conjunction with an
Owner Participation Agreement to the Commission for review and
, report. The owners of the former Kinney shoe store site wishes to:
1. changing the permitted use from a fabric store to .a
general merchandise retail/discount store.
2. limit the exterior improvements'to new plate glass and
doors, any-other required repairs and paint.
, 3. allow use of an existing pole sign instead of the
� approved monument sign.
Hacksround-
On August 16, 1995 the Agency approved an Owner. Participation .
Agreement (OPA) spelling out the permitted uses and required
improvements for the rehabilitation of the existing vacant Kinney
Shoe Store at 12217 Atlantic Avenue. The owner proposed to creaCe
_ a large fabric store on the site. The City also amended` the
: General Plan and'rezoned the property in order to facilitate the
development.' •
Since that time the property owner has prepared plans and submitted
" them for approval, but has not started construction.. He now wishes
to�reactivate the project, but is requesting-3 modifications to the
' existing Owner Participation Agreement (see attached letter). Those
changes are: •
� 1. changing the permitted use from a fabric store to a
• general merchandise retail/discount store which would,
carry a variety of stock, ,including electronics, small
� appliances, kitchen ware, chinaware, luggage and hardware
items. .
2. limit the exterior improvements to new plate glass and
doors, any other required repairs-and paint.
3. allow �use of an existing pole sign instead o£ the
approved monument sign.
', On September 19, 1995, the owner asked the Redevelopment Agency to
, authorize an amendment to the Owner Participation Agreement to
allow these changes. At that meeting, the applicant presented �
photographs of a similar store to the ,Agency. These photos
• depicted.a store similar to a"Pic-and Save" or $,.99 store. This
_ generated some concern from Agency members based on land use
compatibility and highest. and best use of the site. The Agency
discussed the item and then referred the request to the Commission
for review arid report. .
.
A .... .. . , . . � , .
�' � . ' . ' .- .
Basically, the Agency is asking the Commission to,consider and make -
recommendations concerning the following questions:
1. Is this an appropriate use for the location and the
buiTding? If not, are there alternative uses?
2.. Is the proposed redesign acceptable? Is it compatible
with the General Plan and Redevelopment Plan? Can the
applicant be permitted to retain the pole sign?
Discussion•
The applicant:has indicated previously and as.part of this request,
that he now does not believe that a large stand alone fabric shop
at this location is-viable. He has previously requested permission
to put two storea into the building and, on several occasions, has
discussed possible �alternative uses with staff'. He��is now proposing
to lease the site to a discount retail shop. The lessee believes
that this would be an economically viable use at this location.
,' , The proposed use is a permitted use under Che current zoning and
General Plan designation. It would also be compatible with the
- Commercial� uses to the south and should aot adversely impact the
church to the north. It' is also well separated from the
. a residential uses to the west.
Market Impact
� The owner has indicated that, although this wil`1 be called a
discount store, it will not be a$.99 store and will sell only new
merchandise at retail including: `
1. electronics - T�I's, stereo, VCR's, radios
', 2. small appliances - toaster, mixers, microwave ovens
3. kitchenware - pots and. pans
, 4. chinaware - glasses and china, in boxed sets
5. luggage ,
- .' 6. hardware items , �
7. stationery
Business License data'indicates Ehat there are 23 variety or $.99
type stores or shops in Lynwood that could sell items similar to
. what would be carried by the proposed discount store. Nine of them
- are located in the Market Place, which means they are small .
,. operations. Seven are on Long Beach Boulevard, 4 on Atlantic and
' two on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Market Place shops
probably would be in limited competition with this shop because of
their location and the type of goods that they carry. Because of
' the location, the Long Beach Boulevard stores also only would be in
limited competition.
On Atlantic Boulevard there is a small $.99 store one block south
of the Kinney Shoe Store location,, one in Compton three blocks
south and another three blocks to the north (north of I-105). Both '
� of these stores carry the same type of stock - soft drinks, canned
goods and paper goods. North of Martin Luther King on Atlantic are ,
2 more $.99 stores carrying similar stock.. These stores could be in
direct'competition with the proposed discount store if it carried
some of the same low cost items, as originelly proposed. Four shops j
_ of the $.99 type have closed during the year. '
I
There is one sma11 hardware store north on Atlantic that might �
compete with hardware items carried by the discount store. The four .i
$.99 stores on Atlantic are much smaller than the proposed discount ;
store and do not carry any of the more expensive items that the
proposed store would carry. '
i
�
Because of the broader range of goods carried, a general
merchandise store likely would have broader market appeal and
�
'
. . ° �
.,
,�.. , �
.T� E . � . � . . .
therefore more customers than a fabric store at this location. If
the stock were limited to the more.expensive items - electronics,
small appliances and luggage- the store.should not take business
away from the nearby $:99 stores or variety stores in the Market
Place.
� Alternative Uses ,.
A number of alternative uses have been put forward by the owner -
including a pharmacy, a hardware store, and a restaurant. Any of
' these would be permitted under current zoning - but the discount "
store is the first proposal that appears•;to be serious.
.' Desipn Modifications
: The applicant has requested.two other changes to the previously -
approved proposal: , �
1. reduction of the improvements required to the facade
2. retention and use of the existing pole sign �
The applicant has submitted a suggested redesign of the facade
improvements (reduced copy attached). It uses an awning•rather than
� a solid 'facade, painted rather, than tile strips under the center
windows, and no surrounds around the metal poles holding up the
front arcade roof. �
While this is an acceptable design, it is a minimal improvement
One of the reasons for amending the General Plan and appro.ving a
rezone for this project was that the original proposal would
provide,a major upgrade for the buiiding and would help improve the
surrounding area. The'City has constructed new street medians in
front of this property and will be planting street trees along
Atlantic Avenue Go help upgrade the area. The City would derive
more benefit by continuing to require 'the facade and signage
improvements for this property as originally approved. �
In regard to signage, the Zoning Ordinance currently permits pole
signs on corner lots of over 50,000 square feet.' This property
does not meet those criteria. The pnly way to a11ow the retention
, of the sign would be to approve a variance and staff believes that .
' appropriate findings could not be made to grant that variance: . '
- Staff has checked with our Facilities Maintenance Department, and
the City does not have equipment available to remove the sign, as
suggested by the applicant. Staff has recommended that the
- applicant apply for a facade improvement grant/loan to assist in
providing proper signage. That has� not been done yet. The.
' applicant's designer is currently exploring ways of reducing the
cost of removing the pole sign and replacing it with the approved ,
monument sign.
Conclusion ' �
A quality store at this location would be a good addition to this
part of town. A$.99 type of operation would not be. If the
Commission were to recommend approving the change in use, the
Commission should consider suggesting that a restriction on the
type of stock to be offered should be incorporated into the Owner
' Participation Agreement.
Retaining requirements for the originally approved improvements
would provide a higher level of community benefit than the reduced
` improvements proposal, Under no condition should the pole_sign or
. roof sign be allowed to remain.
. �
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully recommends that, after consideration, the
Commission recommend that the Agency: �
1. allow a change in the permitted use of this property from a
fabric store to a general merchandise retail store but
restrict the type of stock to be offered to appliances,
electronic equipment, luggage, hardware, kitchenware and
chinaware.
2. retain the requirements for building and signage improvements
as originally approved.

� On•September 19, 1995, I asked the Redevelopment Agency to Approve
° an amendment to the owner participation agreement, to allow this j
store to be opened as an appliance/general merchandise store '
because I believe that this will be more successful and have more .�
customers than a fabric store. �
' , I
I also asked that the original design of the exterior remodel be i
modified and that I be allowed to keep the existing pole sign. �
.
' The Redevelopment Agency discussed my request and then referred it j
to your Commission for review and report. To help you make your ?
' decision, I would like to give you the following information: �
i
PROPOSED USE - the proposed use is a general merchandise retail �
store. It wi not be a$.99 store. The following items will be �
sold: .
