This case was continued from the November 10, 1992 Planning Commission meeting. . FACTS 1.

Property Loaation. The property is located between McMillan Avenue at the south - and Arlington Avenue at the north and is approximately 12,152.52 (49.52' x 243.44') square feet in size. (See attached location map), 3_ Existina The parcel currently contains two (2) existing dwelling • units with garages (one facing McMillan Avenue and the other facing Arlington Avenue). The uses surrounding the parce2 consist of the following: � � ; North - Single Family Residential ' �, I „ South - Single Family Residential �i East - Single Family Residential !I � West - Single Family Residential � 4.

The proposed subdivision shall result in two (2} lots approximately 6,076.26 square foot in size; one, fronting McMillan Avenue, and the other fronting Arlington Avenue. 6. Site Plan Review At its regular meeting on October 29, 1942, the Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval to the Planning _ Commission subject to conditions and requirements. Staff notes that the width of the lots shall be only 49.52 feet wide which is actually below the 50 feet minimum width allowed by the Lynwood Municipal Code. However, since this is only a few inches below the minimum allowed, Staff did � not require the applicant to file concurrently with a variance. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION Environmental Assessment. The Community Development Department has determined that the project could not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and is on file in the Community Development Department and the office of the City Clerk. Staff analysis of this proposed subdivision include the following findings: (a) Design of the proposed site; and (bj Consistency of the proposed site with the General Plan. Confiauration Of The Proposed 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 j the two (2) single fami2y structures that exist on the i, property. i 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 i flat and able to support the type of development j proposed since the existing driveway provides access to ' each residential dwelling. ; I Consistencv Of The Site With The General Plan i � i i • a. Staff's inspection shows the site to be compatible with i the City of Lynwood's General Plan as the General Plan ' limits land use activities to those projects that . enhance the function and quality of developments without � aZtering significantly the character of the existing ! environment. I � � � ,� f:\planning\staffrpt\tpm26-1 � 2 � I I � � i � � .. . � . . r" � 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-1 zone and the General Plan designation of Single Family Residential.

' i I ' � � I I � � I ::, � , 1 �, DATE: December 8, 1992 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sol Blumenfeld Director of Community Development BY: Charles Rangel, Senior Planner SUBJECT: FENCE AND WALL STANDARDS FOR SINGLE FAMILY UNIT DEVEIAPMENT At the November 10, 1992 Planning Commission meeting the Planning Commission asked staff to survey other cities on the subject of fence and wall standards. This directive was prompted by concerns raised by Mr. Enrique Suarez relative to conditions placed on his application for the location of a single family dwelling on a vacant lot in the R-1 zone. The following is based on a survey of cities throughout the area: O Cerritos - Decorative block walls such as slumpstone, split face or stucco finished walls are required per development code for a single fdmily development. O Norwalk - The ordinance requires that "a substantial solid fence or wall"... shall be installed for single family dwellings. For lots that are substandard in size a decorative wall is required in site plan review as a matter of policy in the site review process. i O Lakewood - Single family residences are required to install a six feet tall masonry block wall. Lakewood currently has 186 single family units under construction and each must ; have a solid masonry block wall. � O Pasadena - Walls and fences are not required for single � family development but is required for multi-family � development. ` O Paramount - For new Planned Unit Development (PUD) or residential specific plans decorative block masonry walls � are required either as a matter of policy or through � development codes or other land use and policy documents. ; For units in a typical R-1 single family zone however, , fencing may consist of wood or chainlink but decorative wall is not required. O Glendale - Block walls are not required in single-family. residential zones. Walls that are six (6) feet or less, and � not encroaching in the front yard setback, may be erected without a permit. O South Gate - Masonry block walls required for new residential development (maximum height, six (6) feet; five (5) feet and 75 percent (75�) open within the front yard setback. � O Santa Monica - Block walls are not required in the single- family zone. However, such walls may be erected up to eight (8) feet in height within the side and rear setbacks. � O Auntington Park - Walls are required, but do not have to be a solid masonry block wall. � i i f:\plannirg\staffrpt\fustds . �s 0 �; The survey of development standards for fence treatments reveals that it is a standard practice for some cities to require solid decorative block.walls for single family developments and is certainly not unusual for a city to require a wall other than just wood or chainlink. Given the socioeconomics of the residential R-1 zones in Lynwood however, it is difficult to justify the expenditure for block walls in that it may create a financial hardship on some property owners as evidenced by Mr. Suarez. Also, since the Commission favors higher quality roof treatments which do add to the cost of development, the cost of solid block walls may in some cases be too burdensome. Staff looks forward to getting some policy direction on these issues. ; � i f:\ptarmirg\staffrpt\fwstds � i f � i
