SUBJECT: Variance Case No. 17

Avenue in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone, Lynwood,
California.
Facts

Section 25-26 requires that a Variance be obtained from the

applicable to the property, and when strict application of
the Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges
enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical
zoning classification.
2. Propertv LocaCion and Size
The site is located between Cortland and Fernwood Avenues,
at the northwest corner-of Vieta and Fernwood Avenues.
(Refer to the attached location map). It is an odd shaped
parcel and is measured at approximately 5,104.61 square feet
in size.
3. Existing Land Use
The site is vacant and is surrounded by the following land
uses:
,. North - Residential
South -I-105 Century Freeway
East - Residential
West - Residential
4. Land Use Description
General Plan Zoning

` Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the Variance
request. �
7. Zonina Enforcement Historv
None of record.
8. Neiqhborhood Response
None of record at the time of preparation of the staff
report. ,
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
1. Consistency 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.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The property is adequate in size to accommodate the proposed
development. However, the lot is substandard in that it does
not does meet current development standards relative to lot
width. Therefore, a Variance is required for the project.
3. Combatibility �
The proposed single-family residential use is compatible with
other uses on neighboring properties.
4. Combliance with Development Standards
Findings:
The property is substandard in lot width and there are
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone.
Granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvement in the vicinity.
Granting of the Variance will not adversely affect the order
development of the City.
Owing to the unique shape of the lot, granting of this
variance would not set a precedent in the City that would be
replicated elsewhere.
Staff recommends approval of the subject project Variance for
the reduction of lot width.
5. Environmental Assessment
The Community Development Department staff has determined
that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section
15061 b(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality
Act of 1989 as amended.

report.
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
1. Consistency 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.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The property is adequate in size to accommodate the proposed
development. However, the lot is substandard in that it does
not does meet current development standards relative to lot
width. In addition the site configuration does not allow
compliance with those requirements. Therefore, a Variance is
required for the project.

The proposed single-family residential use is compatible with �
other uses on neighboring properties. I
4. Comoliance with Development Standards �
�
Findings: '
r
i
The property is substandard in lot width and there are �
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions '
applicable to the property involved which do not apply i
generally to other properties in the same zone.
Granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the I
public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to I
properties or improvement in the vicinity.
Granting of the Variance will not adversely affect the order
development of the City.
Owing to the unique shape of the lot, granting of this
variance would not set a precedent in the City that would be
replicated elsewhere. �

Staff recommends approval of the subject project variance for �
the reduction of lot widths. - I
5. Environmental Assessment �

'�+,
small for the proposed development and that the relatively
small lot area results in a less than optimal floor plan.
All landscape requirements will be met by the proposed plan.

Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the
Variance request.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
1. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning

2. Site Suitabilitv
The property is relatively small and does not optimally
accommodate the proposed development. The lot is substandard
in that it does not does meet current development standards

Therefore, a Variance is required for the project. i
��
3. Compatibility
,
The proposed sinqle-family residential use is generally �
. compatible with other uses on neighboring properties, though �
the proposed use will not conform to the existing building• �
line setback. �

Findings: ��
i
The property is substandard in lot width and there are ,
exbeptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions ;

public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to �
properties or improvement in the vicinity. �
Granting of the Variance will not adversely affect the order ',
development of the City. ,
i
Owing to the unique shape of the lot, granting of this i

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION

- Applicant: Rick Kesseler
PROPOSAL•
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit
to develop a sixteen (16) unit townhouse development at 4291„
Carlin Avenue in the R-2 (Two-Family Residentialj zone. This item
� was continued from the January 12, 1993 Planning Commission
meeting.
FACTS: "

, a Conditional Use Permit be obtained for any residential
development in the R-2 (Two-Family Residential) zone.

6. Pro�ect Char�eristics •
,,
The applicant proposes to develop sixteen (16) units in a
cluster of four (4) structures in keeping with the General
Plan designation of Townhouse and Cluster Housing. The
development will consist of two floor plans, a three-bedroom
unit (unit A) and a two-bedroom unit (unit B). There will
be twelve (12) "A" units and four (4) "B" units. The units
will be combination slit level and two-story. Unit A will
be approximately 1,300 sq. ft. with a private balcony. Unit
B will be approximately 806 sq. ft. Each unit will have an
attached two-car garage and the development will provide
four (4) guest parking spaces. The development provides
public open space at the rear of the site of approximately
3,500 sq. ft. which will contain such amenities as benches,
barbecue equipment, and play equipment.
The proposed townhouse development will be targeted for
individual sale and ownership. FurtHermore, the applicant is
requesting a 25$ density bonus that would enable the-
development of sixteen (16) units. The maximum number of
units allowed on the site without the density bonus would be.
thirteen (13) units and althouqh 13 units would be the
maximum, the site is able to accommodate 16 while still
meeting the development standards as required by the Zoning
Code. In order to mitigate proposed increased density, Staff
recommended increased landscaping requirements including the
' use of 24" box trees throughout the project. The current
site design provides 27 percent landscaping.
Approval of the density bonus would require that 25$ of the
units be targeted for sale to low to moderate income
households. Three (3) units will be low income and one (1)
will be moderate income housing, pursuant to State Housing
Guidelines. The density bonus provides an opportunity for
the City to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment
requirements (RHNA) mandated by the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).
The Planning Commission at the January 12, 1992, meeting,
, made comments and recommendations relative to the design of
the project and continued the item so that the applicant
would be able to address the concerns raised by the Planning
Commission at said meeting. The Commission directed the
applicant to work with Staff in revising the project design.
Initially the developer was reluctant to revise the project
pursuant to Commission's direction. The project was
redesigned to address the issues raised by the Planning
Commission relative to the screening of the parking area,
landscaping, adequate rear setback, and the installation of
decorative paving particularly at the pedestrian walkways.
Since the January Planning Commission meeting, the Project
has gone through two design iterations, one meeting with
staff and the second meeting a the homeowners group of
Niland Street. The homeowners group expressed concern over
the size and the amount of units being proposed. The home
owners sought to redesign the project with fewer units and
increased amenities. The developer has chosen however, to
proceed with his revised plan that was presented to staff.
7. Site Plan Review:
On December 23, 1992, the Site Plan Review Committee
evaluated the proposed development and established
conditions for the proposal and deemed it appropriate for
the site.
f:\staftrpt\cup125-3
2
' 8. Zonina Enfor�ent History: �
� On November 11, 1992, The Code Enforcement Division sent the
applicant a notice in reference to the amount excess debris
and overgrown vegetation on the site.
On November 30, 1992, Code Enforcement sent the applicant a
letter of non-compliance regarding the above as the
applicant did not respond to the November llth letter.
The applicant corrected and complied with Code Enforcement
by the Site Plan Review meeting of December 23, 1992.
9. Public Response:
At the Planning Commission meeting of January 12, 1993, Dr.
Charles Floyd spoke in opposition to the project stating
that approval of the project would interfere with the ballot
initiative for a card club that has since been certified by
the City Clerk. The City Attorney has determined that such a
ballot measure does not effect nor impact the decision
rendered by the Planning Commission. Block Watch Co-
Captain, Henry Sims also spoke in opposition to the project.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
1. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoninq
classification (R-2), and the General Plan designation, Town
House and Cluster Housing. Therefore, granting Conditional
Use Permit No. 125, will not adversely affect the General
Plan. However, the project design.previously was not in
conformance with the Community Design Element of the
General Plan relative to the following:
a. Parking and surface areas should facilitate the
convenient and safe maneuvering of vehicles and parking
areas shall be screened by earthmounding, landscaping,
arid/or low decorative walls.
b. Structures shall be adequately setback from the rear
yard to avoid land use impacts.
c. Decorative paving, such as stamped and colored concrete,
should be installed, particularly for pedestrian paths in
parking areas to provide visual relief areas of asphalt.
Since the January meeting the project has been redesigned
to address the above requirement of the Design Element of
the General Plan.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The subject property is adequate in size and shape to .
accommodate the proposed development with the appropriate
design relative to the proposed density; bulk of the
structures; parking; walls, fences; driveways, and other
development features required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Furthermore, the subject property is adequately served with
the required public utilities and has the potential based on
the design, to offer adequate vehicular and pedestrian
accessibility.
3. Compliance with Development Standards
The proposed development meets the development standards
required by the Zoning Ordinance regarding off-street
parking; front, and rear yard setbacks; lot coverage, '
height, unit size; and 25� density bonus.
3
�
4. Compatibilit� �
� The.proposed project will be located in a neighborhood that
has substantially transitioned from single-family to two-
family residences. Located to the north are single-family
residential uses. Properties located to the south, east,
and west are developed as single-family/multi-family
residential respectively.
5. Public Hearinci
On January 12, 1993, The Planning Commission heard testimony
on C.U.P. No. 125 and moved to continue the item to allow
the applicant the opportunity to redesign the project to
create better building articulation, open space, and visitor
parking.
6. Conditions of Apbroval
The improvements proposed, subject to the conditions
recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee, will not have
a negative effect on the values of the surrounding
properties, with the incorporation of Planning Commission �
concerns, or interfere with or endanger the public health,
safety or welfare.
7. Benefits to Communitv
Development of the site has the potential to enhance the
neighborhood and act as a catalyst to foster other quality
developments if the design is refined per Planning
Commission direction. Furthermore, the development may add
to the City's housing stock in conformance with the policies
of the Housinq Element of the General Plan.
8. Environmental Assessment
The Community Development Department Staff has determined
that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section
15061 B(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality
Act of 1989 as amended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No.
2461:
1. Certifying that the project is categorically exempt from the :
provision of the State CEQA Guidelines as amended by Section
15061 b (3)
2. Approving Conditional Use Permit, Case No. 125 subject to
the stated conditions and requirements.
