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. Backaround This case was continued from the October 10, 1995 Planning Commission meeting in order to allow the property owner/operator to comply with all Conditions of Approval within seven (7) days of the Commission hearing. The Commission required that Staff monitor the business and note the number of cars on the lot during investigations. I 3. Analvsis• � I At the request of the applicant on November 1, 1995, staff I prepared and hand carried and mailed a certified letter to the permittee detailing exactly what was needed for full I compliance (letter attached). Conditions that still needs to be complied with are i Conditions 12, 15 and 21. i Condition 12 of CUP 67 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 the October Commission meeting, i Staff has observed that at least 15 to 20 cars are on the property, many appearing to be not awaiting repair. Staff � further observed that there is enough space to park 10 cars � in marked spaces. Six (6) spaces must be reserved for � customer parking. Under this arrangement, four (4) cars ' awaiting repair could be parked in the area facing Abbott j and the parking area along the south property line. Two or � three cars also may be parked, temporarily, in front of the j garage building. Therefore, a maximum of 7 vehicles ' awaiting repair may be on the subject site at any one time. � If access is available, 2 or 3 additional vehicles could be I stored behind the garage. If the Commission wishes, because of the screen planting now being provided along Atlantic + Avenue, 3 additional cars awaiting repair could be permitted � to be parked behind three cars parked in the marked spaces � on the south side of the property, for a total of 10 i vehicles maximum awaiting repair. At 11:30 a.m. on November 8, 1995 there were 7 cars , one � truck and a van parked 2 and 3 deep in the parking area on j the south side of the property. An additional car was up on ' the outside rack. Only one car was parked in the four � customer spaces on the north side of the property. 2 � additional cars were parked in front of the garage service � I 1 I I � I I � , bays. ^ On October 11, 1995 at 1:50 p.m., one day after the last Planning Commission hearing, there were 15 vehicles parked 2 and 3 deep on the south side of the property. Two cars and one truck were parked in the 4 customer parking spaces on the north side of the property. One engine block and one rear axle were on the ground in front of the 15 cars. Two cars and one van were parked in front of the garage service bays. On October 17, 1995, the one week date given by the Planning Commission for full compliance, at 1:25 p.m. there were 13 vehicles parked on the south side of the lot, 3 parked in the customer spaces on the north side, 2 in front of the garage service bays. 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". Staff has informed the permittee that the landscape improvements being made along the Atlantic Avenue and Abbott Avenue side of the property will be accepted as meeting this condition, particularly, as the trees and plant materials mature. Condition 21 reguires 6 customer parking spaces. During Staff's last visit to the site, 4 spaces were available for customer parking. 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 I Actions by a regulatory agency to revoke a permit are I categorically exempt under Section 15321 of the State CEQA i Guidelines. Therefore, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and filed with the County Clerk. i Conclusion � As described above, the permittee is still not in compliance with I all conditions of the Conditional Use Permit as contained in I Resolution No. 2367 and was not in compliance on the October 18, � 1995 deadline set by the Planning Commission. Significant I improvements have been made in meeting the requirements for landscaping, signage, and trash containment. However, the number of vehicles observed on the property since the last Commission meeting violates requirements under Conditions 12 and 15. Therefore, Staff has proposed draft Resolution No. 2564 in � order to revoke Conditional Use Permit No. 67. � i The primary problem remaining with this property is the storage I of vehicles on the property and maintaining spaces for customer � parking. Under Section 25-25.12 of the Zoning Ordinance, the � Commission "may take such action as may be necessary to insure � compliance with the regulation, general provision or condition". ' An alternative to revocation of the Conditional Use Permit would i be to add the following conditions to the existing Conditional ' Use Permit: I Condition 42: All parking and storage spaces shall be striped. ! Condition 43: No vehicles may be stored in the six spaces I reserved for customer parking. Customer vehicles only may be ,' I z � � I � '. parked temporarily in these spaces. , Condition 44: All stored vehicles must have valid and current work orders prepared and available for public review. Condition 45: No more than 10 vehicles awaiting repair may be kept on this site at any one time. Vehicles may be parked behind each other only in the storage area on the south side of the property and no more than two deep. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends that, after public testimony and consideration by the Commission, the Planning Commission determine either: 1. to adopt Resolution No. 2564 revoking Conditional Use Permit No. 67, or 2. to adopt Resolution 2568 adding the four suggested conditions to the existing Conditional Use Permit and direct staff to report back to the Commission in two months on permittee's compliance with all conditions.

We r.ecognize that over the past 5 months you have made progrese in c�ui�lyiny with the conditions of approval of your CUP. However, as you are aware, staft arid the Planning Commission have determined that you are still not fu].ly in compliance. Listed below are the Conditions of Approval that still need to be complied with and our determination ae to what needs to be done to bring your business into full compliance. Condition 12 of the CUP states that "No damaged or wrecked vehicles I shall be stored on site. No oortion of the site shall be used for vehicle storape unless thev are vehicles awaitinv repair You have consistently been storing 15 to 20 cars on this property, many of which are not awaiting repair. There is enough space on this property to park 10 cars in marked spaces. Six spaces must be reaerved for cuetomer parking at all times (Condition 21). Therefore, you may store a total of 4 cars awaitina repair in the parking area facing Abbott and the parking area along the south � property line. Two or three more cars awaiting repair may be stored temporarily in front of the garage building (behind the service bays). This meana that you may atore a maximum of 7 vehicles awaiting reoair on this site at any one time. If you can get access to it, 2 or 3 additional vehicles could be stored in the space behind the garage, adjacent to the alley. A 1 1 c a r s awaiting repair must have work orders written up. No other cars mav be stored on this site for anv reason i � i I I � � I � I i I I � � r Condition 15 states that "The property shall be used solely for auto repair eervice per plane eubmitted". Ae noted above, you have been using this property to store vehicles for other reasons than auto repair. You mav not store vehicles on this site unless thev are awaitina reoair. Condition 21 requires 6 parking spaces. These spaces are for customer parking, not for storage of vehicles or employee parking: These snaces must be kept available for customer parkina at all times. Condition 14 of the CUP states that "Open etorage of materiale, producte 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". Your site plan shows landscaping on the north side and on the corner of Atlantic and Abbott. This can be accepted as screening if the plants are at least 15 gallons and close enough together to act as a screen. A wall or additional plantinq must be provided alonq Atlantic on the west side of vour property in order to screen the parking and storaae area alona the south side of vour oropertv. Condition 17 requires that you submit a landscape plan for approval. No landscape plan has ever been submitted. The City will accept the landscaping that you show on your site plan as the landscape plan. In order to be accepted however, an automatic irrigation system must be installed in order to maintain the screen plantings in good condition and, if you don't provide a block wall as a screen along the west side of your property, additional plantings must be provided behind the fence from the security gate to the south property line in order to screen the parking and storage area. I hope this makes clear what needs to be done in order to comply with all conditions. If you have any questions, pleaee contact Robert Diplock or Art Barfield.

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 10700 Atlantic Avenue ("the Property"). The said Permittee 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 OB, 1995, September 12, 1995, October 10, 1995 and November 14, 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 April 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. I B. The Planning Commission may revoke a Conditional Use Permit after public hearing if it determines that 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 I 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 i been stored on site, with no more than 4 or 5 awaiting repair. i Staff reinspected the site in January and February of 1995, on June ( 29, July 05, September 11, October 02, October O5, October 11, I October 17, and November O6, 1995. On all these occasion, at least 15 vehicles were being stored on site. Staff reported this to the I Planning Commission at each of the continued public hearings. At each of the hearings, the permittee agreed to remedy the situation i but has not done so. On September 11, 1995 staff visited the site I and observed 13 cars and vans and one flat bed tow truck stored two � levels deep in the designated parking area. Staff was told by � Permittee that 3 of the cars were being worked on. On October 5, I staff recorded 26 vehicles on the site, only 13 of which had work , orders. On October 17, 1995, the date set by the Planning j Commission for complete compliance, 17 vehicles parked on site, � three in customer parking spaces and landscaping had not been ' completed. I � I 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 been only partially 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 been covered by stored cars during every inspection of the property and therefore, not available for customer parking. F. Condition 17 states that "No less than seven percent (7�) of the total site, excluding lot area dedicated to public right of way, shall be landscaped. The landscape plan shall be approved by the Community Development Director prior to installation". No landscape plan has been submitted for approval. Areas have been constructed for landscaping, but landscaping has been only partially installed. G. Condition 25 states, in part, '.... no security fences, grills, etc, shall be installed without prior written approval 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. These conditions are reasonable conditions which were imposed in the interest of protecting the public safety and general welfare. I 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 I violations have resulted in adverse impacts on surrounding commercial and residential property. I I. Since at least July of 1995, the Planning Commission has given Permittee ample opportunity to comply with the conditions of approval described above. While the degree of non compliance has lessened since July 1995, the Permittee has demonstrated an unwillingness or inability to comply with all conditions of approval of CUP 67. I J. Pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code Section 4-9.1, a i 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 City 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. Section 5. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning I Commission hereby revokes Conditional Use Permit 67. The Planning � Commission also hereby requests that City staff take the steps � necessary for the City Manager and/or City Council to consider suspension or revocation of the business license in effect on the property. � � I I Section 6.

The applicant also requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit to legalize an existing residential dwelling unit at 1132-36 1/2 Wilson Avenue, in the R-3 (Mult'i-family Residential) zone. Because of the many problems associated with this application, the applicant has requested withdrawal of these proposals in order to consider redesign or other alternatives to the proposal. FACTS: 1.
