CONTINIIED PIIBLIC HEARINCi:
1. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CASE NO. 120
Applicant: Abraham Ponce
The applicant is requesting approval for a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP 120) in order to develop a seven (7) unit
apartment and remodel 3 existing structures into apartments
at 10977-83 Wright Road, in the R-3 (Multi-Family
Residential) zone.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
This item was continued from the July 14, 1992 meeting due to
deficiencies in meeting guest parking requirements. The
applicant has still not corrected the site plan. Therefore,
staff requests that after due consideration the Planning
Commission continue Conditional Use Permit Case No. 120 in
order for the applicant to revise the site plan to meet
parking requirements.
2. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CASE NO. 114
Applicant: Louis and Alice Ross
I
BACKGROUND•
The applicant is requesting a Conditional IIse Permit to
development a five (5) story, 100 unit motel, and one (1)
story restaurant at 11550 Long Beach Boulevard, in the C-2A
(Medium Commercial) and P-1 (Parking Overlay) zones. During
the regularly scheduled meeting of the Commission on July 14,
1992,� the Commission continued this item to allow the
applicant to complete a required Traffic and Soil report and
other requirements to implement the proposal. This item had
been continued from the May 23, 1992 Planning Commission
meeting at Staff request. On May 20, 1992, the applicant
submitted a letter to Staff requesting that this item be
continued by the Planning Commission to July 14, 1992 in
order to comply with the,requirements set forth by the
Planning Division and the Public Works Department. On June
30, 1992, following StaEf review of the project plans
submitted on June 4, 1992, the applicant submitted revised
plans which were reviewed by Staff and determined to still be
inadequate relative to parking requirements and environment
assessment issues.

SUBJECT: Update of CUP 114
The purpose of this memo is to update the Planning Commission on
the status of CUP 114 based on the most recent submittal made by
the applicant. The following is therefore a comparative summary
of the current proposal. As you may recall, Staff had made a
number of conditions that must be met in order for the project to
continue forward.
The project as currently proposed has omitted the parcel that
contains the existing gasoline station and laundromat from the
project. This poses several new problems. The removal of this
parcel precludes any site desiqn of using this property as a main
entrance. Lynwood Road cannot be used to gain access to the site
because Cal Trans shall condition this street to be closed since
it is too close to the future 105 Freeway east bound on-ramp.
This leaves Louis Street as the only street for an entrance to
the project which may or may not be the optimum location of the
entrance based on the traffic study.
• The applicant has still not submitted a phasing plan that
outlines the scope and timing of development and has submitted no
information concerning the acquisition and timing of acquiring
property in the project not owned by the applicant.
The new site plan does show site plan data for lot area, coverage
of buildings, landscape area and parking requirements information
as well as other standard information.
No soils study has yet been conducted by the applicant as
required by Staff for Environmental Clearance. The traffic study
is being conducted at this time and a draft of the study is
forthcoming.
SUMMARY:
The most recent submitted is a substantial modification of the
original project site plan in that the laundromat/gas station
parcel was a pivotal component of the project that was going to
serve as the main entrance, removing this parcel severely
restricts egress, ingress and the overall architectural
continuity of the project. It also considerably limits th�
possible transportation alternatives of the traffic study.
Progress is being made on the traffic study however, the issue of
potential soil contamination has not been resolved which could
cause further delays to the environmentaT clearance of the
project. The site plan date is useful for Staff analysis of the
project but project phasing data has not been forthcoming wtiich
may cause further delays.

SUBJECT: 20NINO ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CA8$ NO. 25
TRASH ENCLOSIIRE BTANDARDB IN ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONEB
PROPOSAL
Staff proposes to amend Section 25-4.5 14b(i) of the Lynwood
Municipal Code regarding trash enclosure development standards in
all residential zones.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to City Council direction, Staff examined the City's
trash enclosure standards as they relate to the placement of such
structures on a typical site. Upon subsequent research, it was
noted that Section 25-4.5 does not address the placement of trash
enclosures.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Since there was no specific language in the Lynwood Municipal
Code regarding trash enclosures, some multi-unit developments
were approved with the trash enclosure in the front yard setback.
To prevent the proliferation of trash enclosures in the front
yard setback, thereby degrading the esthetic quality of
residential neighborhoods, it is recommended that the Municipal
Code be amended to preclude such structures and uses from the
front yard setback.
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.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully request, that after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2450.
A. Finding that Zoning Ordinance Amendment Case No. ?.5 is
exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as
amended.
B. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in
Resolution No. 2450, waive the reading and introduce the
proposed ordinance.

SUBJECT: AIITO BERVICS AND SALEB DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
FOR RELATED AIITOMOTIVE QSEB CZTY-WIDS
BACKGROUND•
On December 17, 1991, the City enacted a Moratorium on any
proposed automotive sales and service centers throughout the
City. This action was prompted by a proliferation of such uses
along Atlantic Avenue, Imperial Highway, Martin Luther King
Blvd., and Long Beach Blvd., the main commercial corridors of the
City. Many of these existing businesses in the City have
histories of code enforcement problems associated with outside
repair activities, deteriorated facilities, outside storage and
other nuisance-related uses. These uses were perceived as
generating visual blights in the City's commercial centers and
thereby causing a hindrance to positive economic development.
A preliminary analysis conducted by Staff revealed that there was
a high density of these uses in the City's commercial corridors
and main boulevards but these uses were generating low levels of
revenue due to factors such as low business volumes, unreported
sales, and/or unregistered businesses. The analysis concluded
. with three recommendations which are summarized as follows:
1. Focus Code Enforcement to bring about compliance of
such uses.
2. Establish new zoning code provisions to require i
appropriate mitigation of the blighted conditions I
associated with existing businesses through distance
requirements. '
3. Incorporate new design and development standards to �
regulate automotive uses. �
The attached provides a discussion of proposed solutions I
formulated by Staff to address the problems described above and �
will be codified into an ordinance following initial Planning �
Commissio� review. I
DEVEIAPMENT STANDARDS VEHICLE REPAIR ACTIVITIES
The staff report analysis on auto service uses suggested that a �
distance requirement could be used to deter and control �
undesirable auto service uses. Staff is however proposing high j
quality development standards as a means to both attract better �
business to the City and detour marginal businesses from getting I
established. .�
(
The goal of special conditions is to ensure that repair
facilities operate harmoniously and are compatible with adjacent �
and surrounding uses.

� DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOBILE AND TRAILER SALES LOTS
No person shall use any lot or parcel of land for the purpose of
conducting or maintaining thereon an open-air type facility for
the display and sale of new or used vehicles without complying
with the following minimum regulations:
(1) The sale of new or used vehicles shall be permitted in
the Light Commercial (C-2), Medium Commercial (C-2A),
Heavy Commercial (C-3), and Manufacturing (M), zones

(2) The complete plans, showing the location and design of
all buildings, structures, signs, lights, fences,
bumpers or barricades and the proposed development
thereof, including landscaping, shall first be
submitted to, and be approved by, the Site Plan Review
Board, prior to any consideration by Planning
Commission.
(3) The entire area of such lot or parcel shall be

mechanical, audible or animated statuary device. �
Temporary advertising may be permitted only during an �
approved special events sale which shall be limited to �
a maximum of eight days per calendar year. No single
sale may exceed two consecutive days. All temporary '
advertising devices shall be approved by the Director �

ABATEMENT OF NONCONFORMING USES
Wherever a vehicle sales lot exists upon any property within the
city at the time of adoption of this section, such use shall be
abated or shall meet all provisions of this section within one
. hundred and eight days after the date of adoption of this
ordinance.
CONCLUSION
The intent of these proposed development standards is to serve
the auto sales and service commercial needs of Lynwood through
the establishment of high standards of site planning,
architecture, landscape desiqn and hazardous materials
management. Although some abatement provisions were included for
existing uses, discussion is encouraqed between Staff and
Planning Commission as to what is considered reasonable for on-
going businesses since it is noted that the application of these
standards will be easier to impose on new proposed projects
rather than existing uses that may have physical constraints.
The possibility of utilizing redevelopment funds to help further
these goals is beyond the scope of this report but is encouraged
to be addressed subsequent to the adoption of these standards.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission receive and file this report and
entertain discussion with regard to Staff direction.

SUB.7ECT: PREPARATZON OF LIST OF APPROVED ROOFINd MATERIALS FOR
INCLDSION IN LIST OF CITY HQILDINa BTANDARDB
PROPOSAL•
The Planning Commission requested that Staff conduct a study of
roofing products for inclusion as a list of "approved" roofing
materials for housing. This list of roofing materials would be
approved by the Planning Commission and incorporated as part of
the City's Building Standards. The first and most visible part
of a home or building is its roof line and that is one of the
reasons for selecting complimentary roof material.
FACTB•
Staff and the Planning Commission are considerinq selecting
specific types of roofing materials to be used for new
construction, remodeling and additions to existing dwellings. As
it is necessary to establish design standards for roofing
materials throughout the City. The Commission has indicated an
interest in eliminating use of inexpensive and unattractive
roofing materials often being used by developers in attempt to
cut costs. Upon implementation of a new roofing materials
standards City-wide, it will be possible to raise the quality of
new residential development.
A survey of roofing materials on existing structures in the City
reveals that a majority of roofing materials are shake shingles,
'asphalt shingles and crushed rocks for apartment dwelling, while
most of the single family residents have wood shake shingles and
Mission "S" tile.
Roofing materials being evaluated include, but limited to:
Eaglelite, manufacturer of "Capistrano", "Malibu", "Belair" and
"Ponderosa" tile and slate; Monier, manufacturer of "Classic
'100"', "Mission S", "Homestand", "Villa" (regular and
lightweight) tile and slate. They all come in various weights
from 6.0 per square foot to 10.0 per square foot.
' ANALY8I8•
••
It is important to note that roofinq materials which come in
various colors should compliment the color and architecture of
the building, (i.e. traditional Southwest or Traditional Spanish
architectural look and satisfy other special concerns, such as
durability). They must all pass Class 'A' fire requirements and
be non- combustible.
Staff has obtained roofing material samples for presentation to
the Commission. All roofing materials listed may be used for
re-roofing over existing roofing providing that existing roof has
been designed to accommodate the weight of the product. The roof
materials made out of concrete and clay are the heaviest in
weight and are not recommended for re-roofing of older buildings
without adequate reinforcement of the roof frame.

�
, CONCLIIBION•
There are a wide variety of roofing material which are available
for inclusion in an approved list for City building standards.
Lightweight roofing material usually made from fiberglass, clay
and asphalt are best for re-roofing at a low cost or due to
special loading requirements for roofinq. The materials should
relate to building architecture, color and offer fire resistance
commensurate with UBC requirements.
Attached please find a comparative sampling of roofing product
literature for review. The brochure materials and sample
products will be presented for Commission review at the regularly
scheduled Commission meeting.
ROOF SAMPLEB TO BE PRESENTED:
1) Sample of concrete and clay tile roofing materials in various
colors and weight, ie 6.0 to 10.0 PSF.
2) Sample of slate tile.
