Mas, Diiector , Community Development Department . SUBJECT: Zoninq Ordinance Amendment Case No. 1, Parking Standards, City-Wide PROPOSAL The staff is proposing to Amend Chapter 25, the official Zoning Ordinance with respect to parking standards city wide. BACKGROUND• An analysis of traffic and parking patterns in commercial and industrial zones undergoing new development in Lynwood shows that there are substantial and siqnificant deficiencies within the City's Zoning Ordinance, governing, parking, loading design and layout standards, which preclude maximizing off-street parking and layout opportunities. It is the intent of this proposed amendment to deal with quantitative parking requirements only, as the lack of sufficient off-street parking in the commercial and industrial zones is a problem which must be immediately corrected. Loading design and layout standards will be addressed at a later date, when greater study has been done. This item was continued from the Planning Commission meeting of March 14, 1989 in order to allow staff additional time to obtain more information on parking standards from other cities. FACTS: Increased on-curb or on-street parking on commercial streets create more traffic congestion in many commercial and industrial zones throughout the city, and is primarily due to inadequate parking provided on existing developed commercial/manufacturing lots. Staff believes that much of the increased on-street parking is attributable to inadequate parking standards in the City of Lynwood Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends that the City re-establish quantitative a parking requirements and eventually parking design and layout guidelines to remedy the deficiencies in off-street parking. The establishment of off-street parking in the commercial/manufacturing zones is necessary to protect the public health, safety, convenience and public welfare. The City of Lynwood parking standards have never been totally revised, and though the ordinance has requirements for specific land uses, a great deal of the required parking is established through zoning classifications. For example, if a business owner is located in the C-2A zone, regardless of the land use, (if the I use is not specifically addressed by the ordinance) parking requirements would be l space for each four hundred (400) square i feet of gross floor area. This is not sufficient as there has I been a tremendous increase in automobile traffic in Lynwood due to increased automobile ownership in the last few years. DISK 7:ZOA1 1 I City staff reviewed parking standards of ten (10) cities: Bell, Bellflower, Downey, Torrance, South Gate, Compton, Lawndale, ' Norwalk, Paramount and Commerce (See attached Charts). The survey deals with requirements for specific land uses, especially, areas in which staff believes, present parking problems to the city; ie commercial, office and manufacturing. The analysis discloses, that the City of Lynwood has one of the most lenient parking requirements among the surveyed cities. Some of the areas which staff paid particular attention are requirements for,government administrative, commercial, office and industrial land uses. The proposed Amendment was published in the Lynwood Press on December 29, 1988, and the staff has not received any comments as of the date of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The project is exempt from the provisions of State CEQA Guidelines as amended by Section 15061 b(3) and is on file in the Community Development Department. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests, that after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2259 A. The project is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3). B. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in Resolution No. 2259, waive the reading and introduce the proposed ordinance.

Mas, Director � Community Development Department SUBJECT: Variance Case No. 1 Applicant: Lawrence R. and Brenda J. Bible Proposal• The applicants are requesting a variance for a five (5') foot high wrought�iron fence along the fr.ont yard setback of their property in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zone at 10992 Pine Avenue, Lynwood. BACKGROUND: This case was continued from the March 19, regularly scheduled meeting to April 14 due to a tie vote and, recommendation of the Staff Attorney. Facts• 1. Source of Authority. While Section 25 4.7 of the Lynwood Municipal Code regulates fences in all residential zones, Section 25-26 requires that a Variance be obtained from the Planning Commission when, because of 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 on the East side of Pine Avenue between Imperial Boulevard and Pendleton Avenue. It is rectangular in shape and measured at approximately 7,588.4 square feet (68.5'x110.78'). 3. Existing Land Use The site is developed with a Single Family home and is I surrounded by the following land uses: North- Residential South- Residential East- Residential West- Residential 4. Land Use Description General Plan Zoning North- Residential R-1 I South- Residential R-1 East- Residential R-1 I West- Residential R-1 j I 5. Project Characteristics � The variance request would allow the applicant to extend the height I of the proposed fence from the required forty eight(48") inches as � determined by the Zoning Ordinance to sixty (60") inches thus � making a difference of twelve (12") inches. i DISK 7:VARIANI 1 ,� 6. Site Plan Review At its regular meeting of February 23, 1989 the Site Plan Review Committee denied the proposed project. 7. Zoning Enforcement History . None of record. 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 Suitability The property is adequate in size and shape to accomodate a standard fence relative to structures, parking, walls, fences, landscaping, driveways and other development features required by the Zoning Ordinance. 3. Compatibility The proposed height of the fence is incompatible with.the heights of fences on neighboring properties. - 4. Compliance with Development Standards Specific Findings: . The property is a standard lot with no hardships experienced that would require an exceptional privilege and does not meet the State requiremnts for findings of a Variance. � Undoubtedly granting of this Variance would set a precedent in the city that would eventually result in the increased construction of fences of this nature. Staff's determination of these findings is to recommend denial to the Planning Commission on the Variance request. 5. Environmental Assessment This development is categorically exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully Yequests that after consideration the Planning Commission deny the Variance Request: " a. Finding that a hardship has not been established that would require a Variance for Case No. 1 as determined by Section 25-26 of the City of Lynwood Zoning Code. b. Finding that the applicant/property owner will not be deprived of priviZeges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same vicinity if the recommendation of denial is upheld.

VA�.�'�_ TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Di.rector Community Development Department SUBJECT: VARIANCE- CASE NO. 2� , Applicant: Ceneyda Reyes PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval of a parking variance in the R-3 (Multi-Family Residential) zone at 10978 San Vicente Avenue, Lynwood, CA., 90262. FACTS: Measured at approximately five thousand and forty (5,040) sq. ft., the subject property is determined to be a substandard lot yet it has three legal dwelling units. Per Section 25-15 of the City of Lynwood Zoning Code, the said buildings are categorized as Leaal nonconforming buildings. A legal nonconforming building cannot be expanded or structurally changed and if up to fifty (50�) percent is destroyed (by fire or by any other calamity), it cannot be rebuilt in its original form but shall meet all the standard requirements and conditions of the existing zoning code. Basically, the applicant is requesting a parking variance that would allow him to provide only three one car garages for the three dwelling units rather than the required six parking spaces three of which should be covered as determined by Section 25-4.5 of the Lynwood Municipal Code. She also proposes to enclose an existing porch, remodel the living room, kitchen and bath on the single family house. Staff recommended approval of the parking variance only. However, the applicant's consultant requested a continuation of the case for further discussion with staff on the issue of remodelling the front house. Staff made various attempts to reach the consultant for said discussion but all to no avail. This item was continued from the Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting of February 14, 1989. Recommendation Since the applicant's consultant did not show up for discussions regarding the remodelling of the front house, Staff respectfully request that this item be continued to the Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting of May 9, 1989.

Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 8 10404 Long Beach Boulevard (Yi Chin Su) Mr. B-Pessima noted that the population of the City of Lynwood is 54,000 and at this time 97 liquor licenses have been issued. This averages to 18 liquor stores in every square mile of Lynwood. It is the opinion of staff that granting this CUP will adversely affect the community. The Site Plan Review Committee recommended that the Planning Commission deny the permit. Mr. B- Pessima also noted that presently there are twelve establishments in the general area of the subject site selling liquor. He distributed a letter of appeal received from the applicant to the Commissioners. Vice-Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing and Rod Archer representative of CLR Enterprises, Inc. 3540 wilshire Boulevard, Suite 603, Los Angeles, California, 90010, rose to speak in favor of the project for his client, Mr. Yi. Mr. Archer stated that Mr. Yi had been in business in that same spot for six years without a single problem. Mr. Yi was forced to surrender use of his beer and wine license in August 1987, because the owner of the property decided to redevelop the site. Mr. Yi fully intended to reopen his market upon completion of the redevelopment, but the developer did nothing to protect the C.U.P. Mr. Archer, stated that extremely extenuating circumstances surround this application, which should be dealt with equitably and fairly. Mr. Yi should have had his license qrandfathered into the redevelopment by the developer, but somehow, perhaps due to language barriers, this was not done. Mr. Archer reiterated that this is not a new license. Disk S:PCO31489 4 An extensive discussion ensued. Mr. Mas stated that when physical surroundings are changed, a new C.U.P. must be obtained. Mr. Fenderson stated that existing City policy is to eliminate stores selling liquor when possible because of the present proliferation of stores selling liqour within City limits. Mr. Archer insisted that the issuance of a C.U.P. is a discretionary action and this particular case requires - equity and fairness. Vice-Chairperson Dove asked if there aren't special arrangements for malls. Mr. Mas replied yes, but only in malls of five acres or more. Mrs. Suzie Woo, 831 Fifth Avenue, Los Angeles, rose to state that this is her brother's business and she worked there previously. Mr. Yi lived in front of the store and kept constant watch over it, he cleaned graffiti and maintained lower prices. His only problem was language, she stated. Delbert Robertson, 3202 Tenaya, Lynwood, stated he is a property owner since 1973 and there were no problems of any kind during the six years Mr. Yi operated the market. Esau Morales, 3275 Tenaya, Lynwood, stated Mr. Yi was a good market operator who kept everything clean. Westa Morales, 3275 Tenaya, Lynwood, stated Mr. Yi had a clean market with no problems. There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of the proposal, Vice-Chairperson Dove asked if anyone wished to speak against the proposal. Jane Semone, 3153 Sequoia Street, on the South Gate/Lynwood border, stated she lived in the neighborhood for 23 years and conditions have changed since there was only a market at that location. Now there is a hamburger stand, a laundromat, and other facilities. Beer and wine sales will cause problems at those adjoining businesses, she stated. Mr. Archer returned to �the podium to restate essentially what he had said before. There being no one else wishing to speak, Vice-Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Mas stated that Mr. Yi had to surrender his license because he had no place of business. Mr. Archer restated that Mr. Yi had surrendered his license voluntarily because he intended to reopen his market when the remodeling was finished. Commissioner Penalber stated he couldn't understand why Mr. Yi didn't check into this matter before he signed a lease. Mr. Fenderson stated he couldn't understand why Mr. Yi wasn't as diligent with the City of Lynwood as he was with the ABC District. Mr. Archer said it is unfair to speculate on why Mr. Yi didn't come to the City, the important thing is that he surrendered his license with the intent of reopening. He simply didn't understand that he would have to so anything other than reapply with the ABC District. Disk S:PCO31489 5 Vice-Chairperson Dove stated that this is not an easy case for .. him to decide one way or another since he can see both the hardship for Mr. Yi and yet he wants to stop proliferation of , business selling liquor. Commissioner Penalber stated that he 3s in the same position. Vice-Chairperson Dove asked staff if Mr. Yi could use the license in another location and Mr. Mas replied in the affirmative. . Commissioner Willis stated that his contituency is opposed to proliferation of businesses selling Ziquor and besides, it is contrary to City policy to be in conflict with zoning rules. Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked staff if ABC contacts the City when someone surrenders a license and Mr. Fenderson replied in the negative. Mr. Archer came to the podium to restate his case one more time, this time adding that staff should have informed both the applicant and the developer what the procedures are. Commissioner Willis stated it was the developer's responsibility to see that the C.U.P. was protected. Mr. Fenderson agreed, statinq that the developer did not follow through on his responsibilities. Mr. Barnes stated that the issue is not who should have done what, the issue is that the City is against proliferation of liquor stores. He added that Mr. Archer has not claimed that � Mr. Yi will suffer great hardship and also has not explained why Mr. Yi will suffer great hardship and also has not explained why Mr. Yi delayed in requesting the C.U.P. Commissioner Willis asked Mr. Archer if Mr. Yi would suffer great hardship because the bulk of his sales are beer and wine sales. Mr. Archer replied that the bulk of Mr. Yi sales are not beer and wine, but that community members support the market as shown by the people present at the meeting. MOTION by Commissioner Penabler, SECONDED by Commissioner Willis, to deny the request for Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 8, finding that the C.U.P. request falls short of Ordinance No. 1306 and denying the C.U.P. as it will adversely affect the City's General Plan. MOTION carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Dove, Penalber, Willis NOES: Commissioner Cole-Dennis ABSENT: Commissioners Aaynes, Kanka, Pryor ABSTAIN: None Vice-Chairperson Dove told Mr. Archer that he can appeal the decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council. The Commissioners took a two-minute break, after which Commissioners and staff returned. - 7. Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 6 - 3620 Carlin Avenue (Emigdio Carillio) Applicant requests approval to develop a two-story, four- bedroom house in the R-2 zone, presently develaped with one single-£amily residence and an attached single-car garage.

Madison Avenue, South Gate, 90280, -• rose to speak but, since he spoke only Spanish, Mr. Mas acted as interpreter. He accepted all conditions required for approval. � Rosa Rios, 3620 Carlin Avenue, owner of the property, rose to state she doesn't want to have to plant trees because tbere is a school nearby and it might be dangerous.. John Oskoui stated it will sa€e; an�inspector will go onsite and if there is any danger at that time, the trees will be eliminated_ There being no one else wishing to speak for the proposal, - Vice=Chairperson Dove asked if anyone wished to speak against the proposal. Irene Weatherbee, who lives at 2317 W. Carlin and owns the � property at� 124-25 Bullis Road, rose to state that this property is adjacent to hers. It is a nice, quiet neighborhood with no two-story buildings. If the applicant is permitted to build a two-story building, her view will be blocked from the bath'room and the bedroom. The new owners removed their trees and tore down the chain link fence that divided the two properties. Their dogs run all over her property although the new owners have now erected an eight (8) foot wooden fence that was not erected properly. Mr. Mas stated that one condition of approval is a 6' masonry wall fence so the wooden fence would have to come down anyway. Mrs. Weatherbee again stated her objections to the two-story building, the absence of the chain link fence, the doqs and the trailer. Mr. Barfield stated the trailer will be removed, this has been agreed between staff and the owner. Mr. Mas stated the trailer is a Code Enforcement violation and - a Code Enforcement officer will be onsite tomorrow. Mrs. Weatherbee stated she has seen three different dogs, both � their barking and their messes are offensive. She said the two-story building will cut off all breezes. Mr. Barfield stated that there is an existing two-story building across the street at the Bullis/Carlin intersection. Mrs. Weatherbee replied that there is an alleyway.next to that building, not a home. The applicant returned to the podium to state that there was a female dog who had puppies are all gone now and there is only one dog, about 2-foot high, who stays inside the existing front house. When the bushes and trees were removed, she stated, "the chain link fence came with them," and she plans to build a masonry fence. Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked if she planned to live in the new four-bedroom house and the applicant replied in the affirmative. There being no one else wishing to speak for or against the proposal, Vice-Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing.
