SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Case No. CUP 67R
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Proposal:
Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission give final
consideration to a permittees compliance with Conditions of
Approval for 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,
suspend or revoke an approved Conditional Use Permit where a
permittee is not complying with Conditions of Approval.
2. Backaround
This case has been �ontinued a number of times, most recently I
from the November 14, 1995 Planning Commission meeting in �
order to allow the property owner/operator to comply with all �
Conditions of Approval prior to this meeting.
3. Analvsis
The permittee has been making gradual efforts to comply with �
all Conditions of Approval. As of the November meeting in �
order to be in full compliance, Conditions 12, 15 and 21 j
needed to be complied with. i
Condition 12 of CUP 67 states that "NO damaged or wrecked '
vehicles shall be stored on site. No portion of the site j
shall be used for vehicle storage unless they are vehicles ;
awaiting repair". Since the November Commission meeting, I
Staff has observed that, on the average, seven (7) cars are on I
the property, either customers seeking assistance or cars
awaiting repair. This meets the requirements of Condition 12.
I
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. The landscape areas �
have been installed. �
I
Condition 21 requires 6 customer parking spaces. During '
Staff's last visit to the site, six (6) spaces were developed '
and made available for customer parking. Eight (8) spaces are i
reserved for cars awaiting repair. Spaces have been striped. i
Staff's determination is that the permittee currently is in �
compliance with all Conditions of Approval of CUP 67. !

Benefits to Communitv
The existing development, as currently being operated, is a major
improvement to the previous operation and has eliminated a
blighting influence on the area.
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
By meeting the requirements of Conditions 12, 14 and 21, the
permittee currently is in compliance with all conditions of the
Conditional Use Permit as contained in Resolution No. 2367.
However, since the permittee has had difficulty in meeting
Conditions of Approval, it is recommended that monitoring the of
permittee continue.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that, after consideration, the
Commission:
1. determine that Conditional Use Permit No. 67 may remain
in force with no modifications to Conditions of Approval.
2. direct Staff to monitor the continuing compliance of this
permittee and report to the Planning Commission at its �
February 13, 1996 meeting. �

SUBJECT: Review of Compliance with Conditions of Approval for
Conditional Use Permit CUP 82053
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Reauest:
Staff is requesting Commission review of compliance with the
Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use Permit CUP 82053. This
CUP was originally approved on June 08, 1982 and authorized the
operation of a self service gas station and car wash at 11151 Long
Beach Boulevard.
Backcxround :
On June 08, 1982 the Plunning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit No. 82053A for tlie operation of a service station and car
wash at the above location.
At the November 8, 1995 City Council meeting, the Council received
a number of complaints from neighbors concerning the operation of
that station. Complaints centered around aggressive panhandlers
and transients congregating to try to get car wash customers to pay
them to dry off their cars. At times the transients hang their
drying cloths on the neighbor's fences and use and block Oakwood
Avenue by drying cars on the street.
This station has been a source of problems for the past few years, �
with an unusually large number of Sheriff's calls (see enclosed �
Criminal Activity Report). I
f
Analvsis: �
t
Conditional Use Permit No. 82053A for the operation of a service +
station and car wash �vas 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 I
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 the recent police reports and resident's '
complaints, it appears that the conditions under which the use is �
operating has become ��detrimental to the public health, safety and i
welfare��. In fact, on the weekend of December 1, a kidnapping and �
robbery occurred at the site. �
Section 25-25.12 of the Zoning Ordinance provides that upon failure I
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 actions as may be necessary �
to insure compliance with the regulation, general provisions, or ;
condition."
Most of the conditions in CU& 82053A deal with the physical I
development of the property. However, Condition J. requires that I
"All Lynwood Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance requirements shall
be met". Staff believes that Condition J is not being complied with
because the use is being operated in a manner that permits or �
allows the violation of the following Code provisions: ;
l. Municipal Code 3-5
f
"No person shall indulge in ... threatening or indecent
conduct ... or loiter, interrupt or obstruct normal business �
or activity within any public place ....'�
j
i
I
I
;
t�
, 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 sha11 mean asking
for money or somet of va�ue, whether by word, bodily
gestures, signs or other means."
Staff has contacted Mr. John Lynch, District Manager for the
Southern California District of the Shell Oil Company by phone and
fax on November 21, 1995 and by letter on November 30, 1995. Mr
Lynch stated that Shell Oil will work with the owner of this
station to actively improve securityland to eliminate panhandling,
customer harassment, off site car drying and any other illegal
activities occurring on the. site. IHowever, at the time of the
preparation of this staff report, Mr. Lynch has not reported back
to staff on any actions that have been or are proposed to be taken.
The kidnapping and robbery on December 02 weekend indicates that
appropriate security measures are still not in place.
The car wash at this site is one lart of the problem, since it
provides an excuse for panhandling.l In addition, it appears that '
the station operator is unable or unwilling to provide adequate
site security. If the operator and Shell Oil do not take action to
resolve violations and provide additional security at the site, it
would be appropriate for the Commission to consider revoking that
portion of the Conditional Use Permit that allows operation of the
car wash and add additional conditions requiring security personnel
on site at specified times.
In addition to reconsideration of the Conditional Use Permit for I
this activity, the City may also consider taking action to revoke �
the business license of this service station or to declare this I
operation to be a nuisance.
Recommendation: �
Staff respectfully requests that the Planning Commission, after I
consideration:
i
1. open the public he�aring and take testimony concerning the
problems with the operation of this service station and any �
actions being taken to eliminate violations and illegal I
activities.
2. direct staff to evaluate compliance with all City code and �
Ordinance requirements for the next four weeks and report to
the Commission at its January meeting. ;
i
3. direct staff to prepare a resolution of revocation or any �
additional conditions as appropriate if satisfactory actions �
have not been taken to resolve identified violations and �
eliminate illegal activities by the time of the Commission's �
January meeting. i

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO ALLOW PROCESSING OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR ON SITE BEER AND WINE SALE PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF ONE
YEAR WAITING PERIOD
REQUEST:
To allow the filing and processing of an application for a
Conditional Use Permit for on site beer and wine sales in an
existing seafood restaurant on Atlantic Avenue prior to the
expiration of the required one year waiting period.
Backcrround:
At their regular meeting on May 09, 1995, the Planning Commission
approved a request by Feliciano Ramos for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP 95-06) to sell beer and wine for on-site consumption in an
existing seafood restaurant (E1 Barco Marisco) at 11098 Atlantic
Avenue in the C-3 (Heavy Commercial) zone.
Councilmemeber Rea appealed that action on May 24, 1995 and the
City Council, on June 20, 1995, upheld the appeal and denied the
•Conditional Use Permit, in part based on concerns about the
proliferation of the on site sale of beer and wine in small
restaurants.
Discussion:
After the Council denied CUP 95-06, the Planning Commission and
Council adopted amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to require a
minimum of 800 sq. ft. of seating area and seating for a minimum of
40 people in order to qualify for on site alcoholic beverage sale.
The applicant, Mr. Feliciano Ramos, has remodeled his restaurant
and believes that he can now meet those requirements.
Section 25-25.13 of the Zoning Ordinance says that no CUP I
application for substantially the same use may be filed for 1 year '
from the date of denial (June 20, 1995) "unless specifically �
permitted by the Planning Commission". �
If the Commission allows the filing of an application, the �
applicant could make the January or February Commission agenda. �
This would be 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 months after the denial, rather than
the required 12 months.
� I
Recommendation: I
I
Since additional requirements have been adopted to reduce or ,
eliminate Council concerns about on site beer and wine sales, and �
the applicant has stated that he can meet the new design standards, �
staff believes that it would be appropriate to process this
request.
