All landscape requirements will be� met by the proposed project. 6. Site Plan Review At its regular meeting of April 29, 1993, the Site Plan Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the, Variance request. 7. Zoning Enforcement Historv None of record. 8. Neiahborhood Response None of record at the time of preparation of the staff report. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION 1. Consistencv 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. 3. Compatibility , The proposed single-family residential use is compatible with other uses on neighboring properties. f:\pLanning\staffrp[\f:varl8 , 2 � , � � � , 4.

GASE NO6 �'-U P � ZS DATE: June 8, I993 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: Sol Blumenfeld, Director Community Development Department ' SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 125 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 Residential) zone. This item was continued from the January 12, 1993 Planning Commission meeting. - FACTS• 1. Source of Authority Section 25-4.2 of the Lynwood Zoning Ordinance requires that a Conditional Use Permit be obtained for any residential development in the R-2 (Two-Family Residential) zone. ' 2. ProPertv Location: The site is located on the North side of Carlin Avenue, between Atlantic Avenue and Waldorf Drive. (Refer to the attached location map) 3. Propertv size• ,. ' The site consists of a rectangular shaped lot, approximately 41,511 square feet (101' x 411') in size. i 4: Existing Land Use: � The property is currently a vacant lot. The surrounding land uses are as follows: � North - Single-Family Residential South - Mixture of Residential ' East - Trailer Park ' West - Vacant Care Facility , 5. Land Use Desianation: j The Gener.al Plan Designation for the subject property is Townhouse & Cluster Housing while the Zoning Classification is R-2. The surrounding land use designations are as follows; , General Plan Zoning } North - Single-Family Residential North - R-1 � South - Townhouse & Cluster Housing South - R-2 • East - Townhouse & Cluster Housing East -'R-2 West - Townhouse & Cluster Housing West - R-2 � � f:\staffrpt\cup125-3 . �� , ��' i � , 1 j r �, � � - . . ! � � � � ' 6. Proiect Chara�eristics . z; �,, � The applicant proposes.to develop sixteen (16) units in a cluster of four (4) structures maintaining consistency witki 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 split 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. i 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 although 13 unSts 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 mitiqate 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. 9 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). � (Please see attached Affordability Index) � 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 tkie installation of" decorative paving particularly at the pedestrian walkways. l Since the January Planning Commission meeting, the Project� has gone through two design iterations, one meeting with , staff and the second meeting with a homeowners group on 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 homeowners group comments are attached.) The developer has chosen however, to proceed witki his revised plan that was presented to staff. . 7. Site Plan Review: � On Decembez 23, 1992, the Site P.lan Review Committee� , • evaluated the proposed development ana established conditions for the proposal and deemed it appropriate for the site. � , � f:\staffrpt\cup125-3 � ,� . � . �� ,- ; � j '' , 8. Zoninq Enforc�ent Historv: • 1 (i On November 11, 1992, The Code Enforcement Division sent the applicant a notice in reference to the excessive debris and overgrown vegetation on the site. ` On November 30, 1992, Code Enforcement sent the applicant a, letter of n'on-compliance reqarding the above as the ' applicant did not respond to the November lith letter. ; The applicant corrected and complied with Code Enforcement by the Site Plan Review meeting of December 23, 1992. 9. Public Resbonse: , 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.: On June 3, 1993, Staff inet again with Mr. Sims who indicated ' a desire to eliminate the "B" units at rear and relocate the recreation area more toward lot frontage which would' increase the amount of project open space. In reviewing the elevation at the rear of the property, it was noted that the adjoining properties are three (3) feet higher than tlie proposed finished elevation of the subject site and that the proposed recreation area will be two (2) feet higher than the finished elevation of the project which is almost contiguous with the finished elevation of Mr. Sims'; , property. Thus, per Mr. Sims, in order to provide additional visual screening, the proposed project rear separation wall should be over-in-height. (Aproximately 12', high) ISSUES AND ANALYSIS 1. Consistency with General Plan � � The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning 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 thej convenient and safe maneuvering of vehicles and parking areas shall be screened by earthmounding, landscaping,' and/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 � f:\staffrpt\cup725-3 � � � � , 3 � . ;.,1 design relat• e to the proposed dens3ty; 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. ' a 4.. Compatibility � 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 Hearin4 , 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 Approval 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 Housing Element of the General Plaa. , 8.
