i
�
�
o On Nove� 4, 1993 the applicant�quested that the
�. project be ard by Planning Commis on as originally
proposed.
2. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is inconsistent with the existing
zoning classification (R-2), and the General Plan
designation, Town Aouse and Cluster Housing. However, the
Site Plan Review Committee and the Planning Staff evaluated
the proposal and determined that if a zone change were to be
granted, a broader area should be considered in order to
encourage and afford the opportunity for commercial
revitalization and development. Much of the Redevelopment
Project Area is comprised of narrow lots which preclude the.,
possibility for creative, larger scale development.
The owner has not presented plans for a project and does not
have plans to substantially upgrade the existing use which is
vacant, which presents a blight to the community. The
applicant indicates that the proposed General Plan Amendment
will enable him to move forward with locating a commercial
tenant on site. However, it is not possible to ascertain
whether such a project will enhance the commercial corridor
in a manner consistent with the goals and policies of the
General Plan.
3. Area Suitabilitv
The subject area is adequate in size and shape to carry out;
the intent of the Commercial designation of the General Plan,
and accommodate the proposed development relative to the
proposed density; bulk of the structures; parking; walls, I
fences; driveways, and other development features required by
the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the subject property is
adequately served with the required public utilities and
offers adequate.vehicular and pedestrian accessibility.
4. Comoliance with Develooment Standards '
The proposed General Plan Amendment would enable the proposed,
i
use to be consistent with the General Plan and meet all the �
development standards required by the Zoning Ordinance. The I
proposed use is currently inconsistent with the adopted I
General Plan and zoning for the area.
5. Comoatibili� i
_ The proposed project will be located in an area of mixed land I
uses. Located to the north is multi-family dwelling unit, a �
church, and auto repair shop. Properties located to the '
south and east are commercial/retail uses. And, to the west I
are developed as single residential
respectively. ;
6. Conditions of Aporoval I
The General Plan Amendment and improvements proposed, subject I
to the conditions recommended by the Site Plan Review �
Committee, will not have a negative effect on the values of
the surrounding properties or interfere with or endanger tha
public health, safety or welfare. However, the proposed usa �
will not materially improve the area. �
� 7. Benefits to Communitv �
The proposed General Plan Amendment may enhance the �
neighborhood and may act as a catalyst to foster other • j
quality developments. However, the General Plan Amendment �
and proposed development would preclude residential �
development of the property anticipated in the City's General �
Plan and Redevelopment Planning.

SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Case No. 132
Applicant: MANUEL MANCILLA
PROPOSAL•
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit in order to
establish an automobile repair center at 2918 E Imperial Hwy in
the M(Industrial) zone. This item was continued from the October
12, 1993 meeting to the next Planning Commission meeting in order
to give the applicant and designer time to make necessary
modifications to plans submitted for the project.
' FACTS•
1. Source of Authoritv
Section 25-16.15 of the Lynwood Municipal Code requires that
a Conditional Use Permit be obtained in order to operate any
business with respect to automobile uses.
2. Prooertv Location
The subject property consists of a regular shaped lot on the
south side of E. Imperial Hwy. between Oakwood Avenue and
Beechwood Avenue (see attached location map).
3. Property Size
The subject property is approximately 10,000 square feet in
size.
4. Existincx Land Use
The subject site contains two (2) existing structures which
are approximately 4,000 square feet. The surrounding land
uses are as follows:
North-Commercial East-Industrial
South-Commercial West-Commercial
5. Land Use Description
General Plan: Zonina:
North-Industrial North-M
South-Industrial South-M
East-Industrial East-M
West-Industrial West-M
6. Proiect Characteristics:
The applicant progoses to operate a full service automotive
repair center (auto repair, body and fender works) in an
existing 4,120 square feet structure which is presently
vacant with minor proposed renovations. There is no
landscape on site presently, however, Staff is requiring a
minimum of 7� landscape to screen the proposed use from �
public view, and the applicant has shown 8.4� proposed
landscaping on the attached plan.

f
Staff has pr�ared an alternative design�n order to resolve
.� the Planning Commission concerns relative to proper
screening of auto uses arid incorporation of such uses within
the City's retail corridors. Staff's design entails creating
a"Facade/Wall" which is consistent in design and scale with
other retail uses in the City. The applicant declined to
incorporate the "Facade/Wall" which would screen the use
from the public view. Therefore there would be no major
renovation of the existing structure and the applicant is
proposing a simple ten (10) foot high wrought iron fence
which exceeds the City's fence height requirements of three
(3) feet.
A Variance is required to construct a ten (10) foot high
wrought iron fence on the subject property.
Applicant claimed that the cost of constructing a
"facade/wall to screen the use from the public view is too
expensive and will be a financial burden to him. However,
Staff recommend that a"facade/wall" or other alternative
design acceptable to the Planning Commission and ttie
Director of Community Development Department be considered
as a Condition of Approval. The applicant's representative
requested a cost estimate from Staff which was forwarded for
review on November 3, 1993. The cost for the screen wall is
approximately 2 1/2 times the cost of a combination
block/wrought iron wall required under the Municipal Code.
7. Site Plan Review
At its reqular meeting on Thursday, July 29, 1993, the Site
Plan Review Committee evaluated the proposed development and
recommended approval to the Planning Commission subject to
the conditions and requirements stated in attached
resolution �
8. Zonina Enforcement History

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION:
1. Consistencv with General Plan

classification of M(INDUSTRZAL) and General Plan
designation of Manufacturing. Therefore, granting
Conditional Use Permit No. 132 will not adversely affect the
Lynwood General Plan.

The property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the proposed development relative to structures, parking,
walls, fences, landscaping, driveways and other development
features required by the Zoning Ordinance.

commercial developments; therefore, the project will be
compatible with the surrounding land uses.
4. Comoliance with Development Standards

Zoning ordinance with respect to setbacks; lot coverage;
building height and density.

, 5. Conditions o�oproval •
1t The improvements as proposed, subject to the conditions
recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee, would not
have a negative effect on the values of the surrounding
properties or interfere with or endanger the public health,
safety or welfare.

the property and support the commercial intent designation
of the General Plan.

project could not have a significant effect on the
environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions
of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, a Notice of

SUBJECT: Variance Case No. 25
Applicant: Joel Govea
Pr000sal•
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow reduction of the
required lot width from fifty (50') feet to forty five (45') feet
in order to develop a single family dwelling on a lot at 11128
Louise Avenue, in the R-3 (MUlti- Family Residential) zone,,
Lynwood, California. This case was continued to the next Planninq
Commission meeting. The applicant was not present at the October
12, meeting.
Facts
1. Source of Authoritv.
While Section 25-4.5 of the Lynwood Municipal Code regulates
development standards in all residential zones. Section 25-
26 requires that a Variance be obtained from the Planning
Commission when, because of the special circumstances
applicable to the property, the strict application of the
Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed
by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning
classification.
2. Property Location and Size
The site is located between Elmwood Avenue and Beechwood
Avenue, on the east side of Louise Avenue. It is rectangular
in shape, and measured, approximately 20,000 (200' x 100')
square feet in size.
3. Existina Land Use
The site contains an existing single family dwelling with a
two (2) car garage, and is surrounded by the following land,
uses:
North - Multi-Family/Single Family Residential
- South - Multi- Family Residential
East - Multi-Family Residential
West - Multi-Family Residential

�, 5. Proiect Chara�eristics •
The subject property contains an existing single family
dwelling and a two (2) car qarage. The property is
developed such that it has a seventeen (17') foot side yard
on its south side, and a three (3') foot side yard on its
north side. The applicant proposes to subdivide the lot into
two (2) parcels (one (1) lot 50'x 200', and the other 45'x
200') and develop a two (2) story single family residence.
The residential design calls for three (3) bedrooms, two (2)
and a half (1/2) bathrooms, and living, dining, kitchen, and
laundry room on the first floor. The design also calls for a
detached two (2) car garage. All landscape requirements will
be met by the proposed plan.
6. Site Plan Review
At its regular meeting of September 30, 1993, the Site Plan
Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the
variance request.
7. ZoninQ Enforcement Historv
None of record.
8. Neighborhood 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 inconsistent with the existing,
zoning classification R-3 and the General Plan designation
of Multi- Family Residential. If the proposal is approved,
the site will be underdeveloped relative to the maximum
density under the General Plan.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The property is adequate in size to accommodate the proposed
development. However, the lot is substandard and does not.
meet current development standards relative to lot width.
Therefore, a variance is required for the project.
3. Compatibilitv
The proposed project will be located in a neighborhood that
is substantially transitioned from single-family to multi-
family residences. Located to the north is a multi-family
residential dwelling. Properties located to the south, east,
and west are developed as multi-family residential
respectively. Thus the site will be underdeveloped relative
to the maximum density under the General Plan.
4. Compliance with Develobment Standards
Specific Findings:
The property is a substandard lot with a hardship experienced
that would require an exceptional privilege and does meet the
State requirements for findings of a Variance.
Staff recommends approval of the subject project variance for
the reduction of lot width. •

5. Environmental�sessment •
11 The Community Development Department has determined that the
project could not have a significant effect on the
environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions
of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, a Notice of
Exemption has been prepared and is on file i the Community
Development Department and the office of the City Clerk.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration the
Planning Commission approve the Variance request:
A. Certifying that the project is categorically exempt from
the provision of the State CEQA Guidelines as amended by
Section 15061b(3).
B. Finding that a hardship has been established that
would require a Variance for Case No. 25 as determined
by Section 25-26 of the City of Lynwood Zoning Code.
C. Finding that the applicant/property owner will not
be deprived of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same vicinity if Variance case
No. 25 is approved.

Proiect Characteristics • �
The applicant proposes to subdivide one (1) lot into two
(2) parcels to allow for the development of a two (2) story
: single family dwelling on the undeveloped parcel. The
proposed subdivision shall result in two (2) lots, one,
approximately 11,000 square foot in size, and the other,
approximately, 9,000 square feet in size. ;
6. Site Plan Review
At its regular meeting on September 30, 1993, the Site Plan
Review Committee recommended approval to the Planning
Commission subject to conditions and requirements.
Staff notes that the width of the lot shall be only.45 feet
wide which is five {5') feet less then the 50 foot minimum
width allowed by the Lynwood Municipal Code. Thus, the
Zoning Ordinance requires the applicant to file a Variance
request to address the proposed lot width. ,
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION �
Staff analysis of this proposed subdivision include the following
findings: (a) Design of the proposed site; and Consistency of
- the proposed site with the General Plan.
Confiauration Of The Pronosed Site Subdivision
a. The design of the proposed subdivision shows the
proposed lots to be in character with existing single
family residential developments in the area.
' b. The proposal is intended for the subdivision of one (1)
lot into two (2) parcels in order to allow better
utilization of the property and separate ownership of
the single family structure that exist on the property.,
, c. The site is physically suitable for the proposed use,
the development is permitted by the General Plan and
- � Zoning Ordinance in that the parcels are substantially
flat and able to support the type of developmeat
proposed since the existing driveway provides access to
each residential dwelling. ' .
• Consistencv Of The Site With The General Plan
a. Staff"s inspection shows that the proposed lot split
will be incompatible with the General Plan, unless a
Variance is approved to allow one lot to be 45 feet wide
rather then the required 50 feet width for a lot under
the General Plan designation of Multi-Family and zoning
classification of R-3. if the proposal is approved, the.
site will be underdeveloped relative to the maximum {
density under the General Plan.
b. The size and location of the proposed project does not
significantly change the character of the existing
environment. ,
c. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Zoning
Classification of minimum lot sizes in the R-3 zone and
the General Plan designation of Multi- Family
Residential.

is substantially transitioned from single-family to multi-
family residences. Located to the north is a multi-family
residential dwelling. Properties located to the south,
east, and west are developed as multi-family residential
respectively. Thus the site will be underdeveloped relative
to the maximum density under the General Plan.

The improvements as 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 or interfere with or endanger the public health,

`• entails creating a"facade/wall" which is consistent in
design and scale with other retail uses in the city. The wall
will screen the use from public view. Staff inet with the
applicant, contractor, and the designer on two occasions to
review and make necessary changes to the proposed plans in
other to meet auto related development standards. At the
Planning Commission meeting of Octber 12, 1993, the Planning
Commission directed staff to conduct a detailed review of
project plans which were submitted at the Commission hearing.

proposed development relative to structures, parking, walls,
fences, landscaping, driveways and other development features
