Sian Ordinance Amendment - Case No. 88100 Citywide Staff proposes to amend Chapter 25, official Zoning and Sign Ordinance, to control construction of free standing pole signs Citywide. This matter was continued from the December 13, 1988, Planning Commission meeting to allow staff more time for evaluation. At the December 20, 1988, meeting of the City Council, an urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the construction, erection and installation of freestandinq signs was adopted. The staff is still reviewing and developing the amendment and therefore requested another continuance to the February 14, 1989, Planning Commission meeting. Chairperson Dove asked the Commission's preference. Commissioner Penalber asked Mr. Fenderson about sandwich board signs and Mr. Fenderson replied that this ordinance deals only with pole signs. Commissioner Penalber asked Mr. Fenderson what staff does about illegal sandwich board signs. Mr. Fenderson replied that Code Enforcement officers visit the owners of the offending signs and letters are written by staff to the sign owners in an effort to remove signs like i those that offended Commissioner Penalber. MOTION made by Commissioner Pryor to continue Case No. 88100 i to the next regular meeting of the Planninq Commission on February 14, 1989, SECONDED by Commissioner Willis.

Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 88093 11339-41 Louise Avenue (Donald R. Kittle) Applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Perinit to develop fourteen (14) apartment units in the R-3 zone. Applicant's request was approved by the Planning Commission on September 8, 1987. However, the applicant permitted the permit to expire and he is now required to submit a new Conditional Use Permit before he can develop his property. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Vincent Labevsciano, ?312 Rio Hondo Place, representing the applicants, rose to state their acceptance of all conditions. He is building fifteen units just down the street from those proposed by Mr. Kittle. . Commissioner Haynes suggested that a time limit might be added to the list of conditions, such as starting construction in 90 days and finishing same in six months. Mr. Barnes indicated that more stringent time limits than those already utilized in Lynwood might be considered unfair because of financing difficulties, etc., that might be encountered by any applicant. Mr. Labevsciano assured Commissioner Haynes that the applicant absolutely intends to build as soon as possible, he is waiting only for the plans to be approved by the Building Department. Commissioner Penalber asked if financing wasn't approved before plans were drawn, permits were applied for, and wasn't the applicant's appearance before the Planning Commission the last thing? He was assured by staff that banks only lend money after all the permits have been obtained. Commissioner Pryor asked Mr. Labevsciano if he understood Item No. 24 (Mr. Labevsciano said he understood and accepted the item, which dealt with dry pipe), and asked where the trash enclosure will be. Mr. Labevsciano indicated the trash enclosure on the plans. Mr Labevsciano further stated Mr. Kittle had asked him to represent him at this meeting because he is buildinq fifteen units just down the street from Mr. Kittles' proposed fourteen units. Mr. Harry Gibbens, a hearing-impaired Lynwood resident, read the following letter with the aid of a court-ordered interpreter. "I am speaking for my family. My name is Harry Gibbens, living on 1I327 Louise Avenue. I have lived in Lynwood for over twenty-six years. � Will you accept to give me more than the limit three-minute talk in order for me to speak to you due to my hearing- i impairedness and speech-defectiveness thru this slow communication? I hope that my testimony may be shorten as much as possible with help from my interpreter. I Here are my testimonies, recommendations or suggestions, if any. It has been my concern for a long time. I understand that the att'ractive 14-unit apartment will be erected on the Kittle's property. The property is just next door, south of my family property. DISK M3: PC011089 3 i recommend that the 14-unit apartment shall be erected on the existing ground level rather than on the new four feet elevated level, higher than the existing ground level. Reason: 1. Z enjoy the sun's rays of light and warmth going thru windows on the south side of my house. 2. I enjoy !'ny spectacular view of this country-type neighborhood area. I will lose the valuable sun's rays and the spectacular view completely when the future ten feet high masonry wall shall be established along my property line on the south side. Therefore, I shall be forced to pay higher utility bills after the erection of the ten feet high masonry wall." Mr. Murqa explained that this ten-foot fence probably refers to item No. 28, which is required because the property is in the flood zone. Mr. Murga stated the landfill required will probably be about 2-1/2', not 4', but the retaining wall of 2-1/2� plus the six-faot high block wall required for privacy and noise containment will look like an 8-1/2' fence on Mr. Gibbens' side. Commissioner Pryor asked Mr. Murga if the water will drain to the street and Mr. Murga stated it would. Commissioner Haynes stated that the landfill looked like more than 2-1/2' when he visited the site on Sunday. A very long discussion about the height of the fence, amount and depth of landfill, ensued between staff, Commissioners, Mr. Gibbens and his interpreter. Mr. Murga stated that the flood level zone is 81' above sea level. Mr. Gibbens resumed reading his letter. "There shall be another problem during Santa Ana wind season, blowing from west to east often directly. It has been my concern all about this which shall effect my families home roof and my next-door neighbor's house roof, north side of my property. I have seen several roof materials breaking apart from time to time during the strong wind season. After the ten feet high masonry wall and the Kittle's 14 unit apartment shall be established, the rear corner of my property (southwest corner) shall become narrower between the new Kittle's apartment and the rear existinq apartment. The narrower area shall become 'venturi effect.' Therefore, who will pay for erecting masonry wall on the rear of my property? That will help to cut down the Santa Ana wind." "The other problem shall be shadow area of my organic garden after the ten feet high masonry wall shall be established. � The (shade within defined limits) obscurity within a space from which rays from sun are cut off by the future masonry wall of ten feet high. The ten foot high wall shall cast its shadow on the qround level up to fifteen feet at noontime at this present time. That is not all. The new apartment's shadow will affect more greater than the masonry wall's shadow." i Another long discussion ensued between staff, Commissioners, Mr. Gibbens and his interpreter, concerning Santa Ana winds and their possible effect on the roofs of Mr. Gibbens' house and his neighbor's house. Mr. Gibbens asked staff if the City would be willing to pay for a wall on his property, and while Chairperson Dove was sympathetic to his problem as was Mr. Fenderson, it was concluded that the City would probably not build a fence on private property because there is nothing in the City Code that would empower the City to do � so, or to farce the applicant to pay for a fence on his new i neighbor's property. DISK M3:011089 I 4 1 I Mr. Fenderson did not think the Santa Ana winds would cause the type of damage envisioned by Mr. Gibbens, and further, the 6' block wall fence is required on all new documents. Mr. Fenderson and Chairperson Dove stated Mr. Gibbens could ask Mr. Kittle to pay for the fence. Commissioner Penalber stated that discussions of winds and garden loss was not relevant. He asked what does Mr. Gibbens want? He stated that in San Jouquin valley people worry about sunlight, while in Lynwood, the Commissioners are worried abo�t homes for Lynwood citizens. Commissioner Pryor state3 he didn't think this is the place and he didn't think the Commissioners should be ` expected to deal with Mr. Kittle on Mr. Gibbens' behalf. Commissioner Penalber stated Mr. Gibbens should have talked with staff about his problems. Both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Fenderson assured the Commissioners that they are required by law to listen to concerned property owners. Mr. Gibbens resumed reading his letter. "There are three tall trees, close to the property line. Those trees will have to be removed in the preparation of a new masonry wall foundation. Those trees' roots will be chopped and will be sliced. Therefore, those trees will be weakened and will be uprooted by stronq winds, if we keep them. Better- remove them by who? I want to let you know that there is four feet hardware cloth � in the nearly perimeter of the garden as a qopher-proof fence, mostly three feet deep into the qround. I request that the gopher-proof fence shall not be destroyed, will it be destroyed? I desire to live here in this area. Yet I understand that our City of Lynwood may interest in the name of proqress which may affect us, especially lifestyle. I do not know what I with my family will do with my present property. I'll wait and see. Thank you for your attention." Chairperson Dove asked Mr. Gibbens if the trees were on his property, and Mr. Gibbens replied in the affirmative. Chairperson Dove then asked Mr. Barnes about the trees. Mr. Barnes and Commissioner Pryor agreed that the trees won't be bothered, however, should the trees be damaged, Mr. Barnes stated the adjoining property owner would be held responsible if the trees should be damaged during the retaining wall and fence construction. Mr. Gibbens thanked the Commissioners for listening to him, I and said goodbye. I i Chairperson Dove asked if anyone else in the audience wished to speak in opposition to the proposal, there being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing. I I I DISK M3: PC011089 I � I i 5 � � I I MOTION by Commissioner Haynes, SECONDED by Commissioner Penalber, to adopt Resolution No. 2247, "A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88093 TO CONSTRUCT FOURTEEN (14) UNITS IN THE R-3 (MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONE, AT 22339-41 LOUISE AVENUE, LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA, 90262, "subject to the stated conditions and requirements, finding that there will not be a significant effect on the environment and certifying the Negative Declaration as adeguate. MOTION carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Dove, Haynes, Penalber, Pryor, Willis NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Cole-Dennis, Kanka ABSTAIN: None 3. " Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 89003 11127 Louise Avenue, Lynwood (Sangwarlaya Tiraphantna) Applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit and density bonus to develop a four (4) unit apartment building behind two (2) existing single family dwellings that are to remain at above address. Mr. Barfield stated that the proposed development exceeds the allowable density by one dwelling unit. The Planning Commission has the authority to approve units in excess of the allowable density if the units are designated as affordable units or if they are part of a development proposal which conforms to all other zoning regulations and which incorporates unique features into its design. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Craig Wheeler, Systems Construction representative, 30142 Oaklane, Silverado, California, rose to show plans with requested changes to the Commissioners. Commissioner Haynes noted that the new building will be raised to allow for the flood area and asked what about the existing buildinqs. Mr. Murga replied that only the new building will be affected, and the level of ground is not being changed. The applicant prefers to raise the building, and this is allowed under City Code, Mr. Murga said. Both Commissioners Penalber and Haynes asked how the property will be raised. Mr. Wheeler said he didn't know what has to i be done for the flood level, but was sure that the building will be raised, rather than the qround level. Commissioner Willis asked about the existing family units. There is leaky plumbing, resulting in water ponding and stagnant water. He asked if the existing buildings are legal. He stated that Mr. Wheeler should qet his act together on the present buildinqs. The garage and fence look like plywood just thrown together. He stated that if Mr. Wheeler can't maintain the existing buildings that he probably can't maintain four more. He noted a Nissan parked on the front lawn. DISK M3:PC011089 I 6 Chairperson Dove stated the Commissioners could impose more conditions. Mr. Fenderson noted that Condition No. 27 addresses that problem. Chairperson Dove asked if a fence could be added along the driveway to prevent cars from parking on the lawn. Mr. Fenderson stated that Condition No. 10 addresses this problem. , Chairperson Dove and Commissioner Haynes both questioned the facade and finish of the existing buildings. Mr. Wheeler showed elevations of the proposed new structures and stated that the existing buildings will be restuccoed and window trimming added to blend the existing buildings with the proposed new structure. Mike Bernard, also of Systems Construction, 3171 Cabana Street, Miraloma, California, rose to state that they are open to suggestions as to different types of stucco finish. They want the finish. They want the finished buildings to ' blend together nicely to present a good effect. Commissioner Pryor asked if the owners are aware of all 45 conditions, including those distributed to the Commissioners tonight. Mr. Fenderson stated he didn't know if the applicant has seen the eight new conditions imposed by the Lynwood Public Works Department. Mr. Barnes stated that the applicant must sign a form stating that he accepts all conditions before the permit will be issued. Mr. Fenderson assured the Commissioners that the project will be balanced aesthetically and the whole project will look � new. Mr. Barnes stated that Condition No. 27 doesn't adequately cover the existing units and the Commissioners would have to add another condition to ensure that the present units will be stuccoed and trimmed to match the new construction. There being no one else wishinq to speak either for or , against the proposal, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Penalber stated his aversion to plain stucco, and Commissioner Willis wanted the present buildings restuccoed. They agreed to impose Condition No. 46, "Existing buildings shall receive a color coat of stucco to match the new construction, as well as a facade treatment on the front of the existing buildings." Chairperson Dave asked about the fence along the driveway to prevent cars parked on the lawn and Mr. Fenderson suggested I just a raised_planter along the driveway. Commissioner Pryor - -want this particular lot to look different than the rest along the street. I DZSK M3:PC011089 I i 7 I ; .. � . _ . . .... . . � . ._.. `. �!

Mas, Director Community Development Department SUBJECT: Sign Ordinance Amendment Case No. 88100 . Regulatina Freestandin Pole Sians Citv-Wide PROPOSAL: The staff is proposing to amend Chapter 25, the Official Zoning and Sign Ordinance with respect to controlling construction of freestanding signs city-wide. This matter was continued from the City Planning Commission's meeting of December 13, 1988, in order to allow staff more time for evaluation. FACTS: In recent months, commercial development in the City of Lynwood has triggered an increase in the number of freestandinq signs in the City. This increase can create visual clutter, decreasing the attractiveness of the City's commercial areas. At its regularly scheduled meeting of December 20, 1988, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance, establishing a moratorium on the construction, erection and installation of freestanding signs. RECOMMENDATION: As of this date, the staff is still reviewing and developing requirements in standards and design. Staff requests that this item be continued to the City Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting of February 14, 1989. DISK 41: 88100SOA I I 1 „ .

M E M O DATE: January 10, 1989 Tp; PLANNING COMMISSION � FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director Community Development Department SUBJECT: City Council Actions on Proposed General Plan and Zone Changes At the January 3, 1989 r.egular meeting of the City Council, the Council denied without prejudice the proposed General Plan Amendment for portions of the 4300 block of the north side of Carlin Avenue, Case No. 88087, and the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for certain portions of the north side of the 32�� block of Flower Street and certain portions of the ' side of Fernwood Avenue, Case No. 88094. These applications will be reconsidered at the completion of, or during the General Plan Update. Though the Planning Commission approved two prior General Plan and Zone Change requests i.e., Case No. 88098, 88099, it appears evident that the City Council will deny such Planning Commission recommendations. Staff would like to stress that its recommendations to the Planning Commission for General Plan Amendment and Zone Changes resulted from residential development permit applications that were processed to afford the applicants due process as mandated by law.

Mr. Barfield informed the Commissioners that Pacific Bell Telephone Company is cooperating with the City and the number of control "B" boxes will be given to Lynwood in four to six weeks. B. Mr. Vicente Mas came in at this time to discuss zone chanqes and General Plan Amendments now under consideration. Ae showed a graph to the Commissioners that indicated the loss of housing units and increase in population in Lynwood in recent years. He said the overcrowding is partly due to illegal construction, primarily in sinqle family dwellings, i.e., converted garages. He stated that such overcrowding impacts public services such as police services, and results in overcrowded schools. Mr. Mas stated that only 50$ of the units approved by the I Planning Commission are built, and it can take 18 - 24 months to build approved units. I -- Chairperson Dove asked what the Planning Commission could do to alleviate the situation, and Commissioner Pryor replied that the Commissioners could impose less conditions. Disk M3:PC011089 8 At the January 3, 1989, regular meeting of the City Council, Mr. Fenderson stated, the Council denied without prejudice the proposed Gan�rai Plan Amendment for portions of the 4300 block of the north side of Carlin Avenue, Case No. 88087, and the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for certain portions of the north side of the 3200 block of Flower Street and certian portions of the side of Fernwood Avenue, Case No. 88094. COMMISSION ORALS: Commissioner Willis asked Mr. Fenderson what staff had done concerning complaints about 11410 California and 3514 Mulford. Mr. Fenderson replied that the property owners had been contacted by Code Enforcement officers and the owner requested a time extension. The property owners are now fencing off their property and bringing their trash bins in. A title search is beinq conducted by staff, Mr. Fenderson added. Commissioner Penalber commented that the building at 11420 S. Atlantic next door to his business is abandoned, but six men live there. The water has been turned off, and the men jump over the fence to gain ingress and egress. In the alley at the corner of Walnut and Atlantic, there is an abandoned bob tail van and two abandoned cars. The abovementioned six men are throwing garbage in the van and this will stink like hell in two to three months, Commissioner Penalber stated. Commissioner Willis stated he had a complaint about 5142 E. Imperial Highway, where a sign says, "Pig House," and, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings, pigs are cooked in the back of a truck. He stated that they are apparently catering these pigs, and the carcasses lie flat on the floor of the truck where the men walk. Commissioner Willis would like to know if a Conditional Use Permit was issued, and if so, what for? Commissioner Haynes asked if staff checks back on bonus units to , make sure they are still renting to low income individuals and Mr. Mas replied that in the past, former City attorneys have dealt with this problem. Mr. Barnes commented about an annual audit. Commissioner Haynes commented that builders want to build outside of the zoning codes. He stated that when the Commissioners deny applicant's requests, it's because the applicants want to tell the Commissioners what to do. He said he resents builders like the Galindo's who demand that the Commissioners do what they want just so they can make money. � Referring to the City Council's denial of the General Plan Amendments and Zone Changes, Commissioner Haynes stated that the City Council is not being fair to the Commissioners, who are trying to promote the growth of Lynwood, not the death of Lynwood. Commissioner Haynes commented that he doesn't care who builds, he just wants to increase the completion of Conditional Use Permits granted. Mr. Mas commented that "There is not much we can do," it's mostly the financial problems of the applicants. Commissioner Haynes commented that new businesses are coming in at Alondra and Atlantic.

Commissioner Haynes suggested that a time limit might be added to the list of conditions, such as starting construction in 90 days and finishing same in six months. Mr. Barnes indicated that more stringent time limits than those already utilized in Lynwood might be considered unfair because of financing difficulties, etc., that might be encountered by any applicant. Mr. Labevsciano assured Commissioner Haynes that the applicant absolutely intends to build as soon as possible, he is waiting only for the plans to be approved by the Building Department. Commissioner Penalber asked if financing wasn't approved before plans were drawn, permits were applied for, and wasn't the applicant's appearance before the Planning Commission the last thing? He was assured by staff that banks only lend money after all the permits have been obtained. Commissioner Pryor asked Mr. Labevsciano if he understood Item No. 24 (Mr. Labevsciano said he understood and accepted the item, which dealt with dry pipe), and asked where the trash enclosure will be. Mr. Labevsciano indicated the trash enclosure on the plans. Mr Labevsciano further stated Mr. i Kittle had asked him to represent him at this meeting because he is building fifteen units just down the street from Mr. Kittles' proposed fourteen units. � Mr. Harry Gibbens, a hearing-impaired Lynwood resident, read the following letter with the aid of a court-ordered ( interpreter. "I am speaking for my family. My name is Harry Gibbens, � living on 11327 Louise Avenue. I have lived in Lynwood for over twenty-six years. � I Will you accept to give me more than the limit three-minute � talk in order for me to speak to you due to my hearing- I impairedness and speech-defectiveness thru this slow communication? I hope that my testimony may be shorten as much as possible with help from my interpreter. I Here are my testimonies, recommendations or suggestions, if any. It has been my concern for a long time. I understand that the attractive 14-unit apartment will be erected on the Kittle's property. The property is just next door, south of my family property. DISK M3: PC011089 I i I � 3 � i � I recommend that the 14-unit apartment shall be erected on . the existing ground level rather than on the new four feet elevated level, higher than the existing ground level. Reason: 1. I enjoy the sun's rays of light and warmth going thru windows on the south side of my house. 2. I enjoy my spectacular view of this country-type neighborhood area. . I will lose the valuable sun's rays and the spectacular view completely when the future ten feet high masonry wall shall � be established along my property line on the south side. Therefore, I shall be forced to pay higher utility bills after the erection of the ten feet high masonry wall." Mr. Murga explained that this ten-foot fence probably refers to item No. 28, which is required because the property is in the flood zone. Mr. Murga stated the landfill required will probably be about 2-1/2', not 4', but the retaininq wall of 2-1/2� plus the six-foot hiqh block wall required for privacy and noise containment will look like an 8-1/2' fence on Mr. Gibbens' side. Commissioner Pryor asked Mr. Murga if the water will drain to the street and Mr. Murga stated it would. Commissioner Haynes stated that the landfill looked like more than 2-1/2' when he visited the site on Sunday. A very long discussion about the height of the fence, amount and depth of landfill, ensued between staff, Commissioners, Mr. Gibbens and his interpreter. Mr. Murga stated that the flood level zone is 81' above sea level. Mr. Gibbens resumed reading his letter. "There shall be another problem during Santa Ana wind season, blowing from west to east often directly. It has been my concern all about this which shall effect my families home roof and my next-door neighbor's house roof, north side of my property. I have seen several roof materials breaking apart from time to time during the strong wind season. After the ten feet high masonry wall and the Kittle's 14 unit apartment shall be established, the rear corner of my property (southwest corner) shall become narrower between the new Kittle's apartment and the rear existing apartment. The narrower area shall become 'venturi effect.' Therefore, who will pay for erecting masonry wall on the rear of my property? That will help to cut down the Santa Ana wind." "The other problem shall be shadow area of my organic garden I after the ten feet high masonry wall shall be established. � The (shade within defined limits) obscurity within a space � from which rays from sun are cut off by the future masonry wall of ten feet high. The ten foot high wall shall cast its shadow on the ground level up to fifteen feet at noontime at this present time. That is not all. The new apartment's shadow will affect more greater than the masonry wall's shadow." I Another long discussion ensued between staff, Commissioners, Mr. Gibbens and his interpreter, concerning Santa Ana winds � and their possible effect on the roofs of Mr. Gibbens' house and his neighbor's house. Mr. Gibbens asked staff if the � City would be willing to pay for a wall on his property, and I while Chairperson Dove was sympathetic to his problem as 'was � Mr. Fenderson, it was concluded that the City would probably not build a fence on private property because there is I nothinq in the City Code that would empower the City to do so, or to force the applicant to pay for a fence on his new � neighbor's property. i I DISK M3:011089 � I � 4 i I i I Mr. Fenderson did not think the Santa Ana winds would cause the type of damage envisioned by Mr. Gibbens, and further, the 6' block wall fence is required on all new documents. Mr. Fenderson and Chairperson Dove stated Mr. Gibbens could ask Mr. Kittle to pay for the fence. Commissioner Penalber stated that discussions of winds and garden loss was not relevant. He asked what does Mr. Gibbens want? He stated that in San Jouquin valley people worry about sunlight, while in Lynwood, the Commissioners are worried about homes for Lynwood citizens. Commissioner Pryor stated that he didn't think this is the place and he didn't think the Commissioners should be expected to deal with Mr. Kittle on Mr. Gibbens' behalf. � Commissioner Penalber stated Mr. Gibbens should have talked I with staff about his problems. Both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Fenderson assured the Commissioners that they are required by law to listen to concerned property owners. Mr. Gibbens resumed reading his letter. "There are three tall trees, close to the property line. Those trees will have to be removed in the preparation of a new masonry wall foundation. Those trees' roots will be chopped and will be sliced. Therefore, those trees will be weakened and will be uprooted by strong winds, if we keep them. Better- remove them by who? I want to let you know that there is four feet hardware cloth in the nearly perimeter of the garden as a gopher-proof fence,. mostly three feet deep into the ground. I request that the gopher-proof fence shall not be destroyed, will it be destroyed? I desire to live here in this area. Yet I understand that our City of Lynwood may interest in the name of progress which may affect us, especially lifestyle. I do not know what I with my family will do with my present property. I'll wait and see. Thank you for your attention." Chairperson Dove asked Mr. Gibbens if the trees were on his I property, and Mr. Gibbens replied in the affirmative. Chairperson Dove then asked Mr. Barnes about the trees. Mr. Barnes and Commissioner Pryor agreed that the trees won't be bothered, however, should the trees be damaged, Mr. Barnes stated the adjoining property owner would be held responsible if the trees should be damaqed during the retaining wall and fence construction. Mr. Gibbens thanked the Commissioners for listening to him, and said goodbye. � Chairperson Dove asked if anyone else in the audience wished ' to speak in opposition to the proposal, there being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing.

Mr. Barfield stated that the proposed development exceeds the allowable density by one dwelling unit. The Planning Commission has the authority to approve units in excess of the allowable density if the units are designated as affordable units or if they are part of a development proposal which conforms to all other zoninq regulations and which incorporates unique features into its design. � Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Craig wheeler, Systems Construction representative, 30142 Oaklane, Silverado, California, rose to show plans with requested changes to the Commissioners. Commissioner Haynes noted that the new building will be i raised to allow for the flood area and asked what about the existing buildings. Mr. Murga replied that only the new � building will be affected, and the level of ground is not � being changed. The applicant prefers to raise the building, I and this is allowed under City Code, Mr. Murga said. � Both Commissioners Penalber and Haynes asked how the property will be raised. Mr. Wheeler said he didn't know what has to be done for the flood level, but was sure that the building will be raised, rather than the ground level. Commissioner Willis asked about the existing family units. There is leaky plumbing, resulting in water ponding and stagnant water. He asked if the existing buildings are legal. He stated that Mr. Wheeler should get his act I together on the present buildings. The garage and fence look like plywood just thrown together. He stated that if Mr. Wheeler can't maintain the existinq buildings that he probably can't maintain four more. He noted a Nissan parked on the front lawn. I I ' I DISK M3:PC011089 � I i i 6 � � I I , Chairperson Dove stated the Commissioners could impose more conditions. Mr. Fenderson noted that Condition No. 27 addresses that problem. , Chairperson Dove asked if a fence could be added along the driveway to prevent cars from parking on the lawn. Mr. Fenderson stated that Condition No. 10 addresses this problem. Chairperson Dove and Commissioner Haynes both questioned the facade and finish of the existing buildings. Mr. Wheeler showed elevations of the proposed new structures I and stated that the existing buildings will be restuccoed and window trimming added to blend the existing buildings with the proposed new structure. Mike Bernard, also of Systems Construction, 3171 Cabana Street, Miraloma, California, rose to state that they are open to suggestions as to different types of stucco finish. They want the finish. They want the finished buildings to blend together nicely to present a good effect. Commissioner Pryor asked if the owners are aware of all 45 conditions; including those distributed to the Commissioners tonight. Mr. Fenderson stated he didn't know if the applicant has seen the eight new conditions imposed by the Lynwood Public Works Department. Mr. Barnes stated that the applicant must sign a form stating i that he accepts all conditions before the permit will be issued. �' Mr. Fenderson assured the Commissioners that the project will I be balanced aesthetically and the whole project will look I new. Mr.. Barnes stated that Condition No. 27 doesn't adequately � cover the existing units and the Commissioners would have to I add another condition to ensure that the present units will � be stuccoed and trimmed to match the new construction. i There being no one else wishinq to speak either for or � against the proposal, Chairperson Dove closed the Public � Hearing. Commissioner Penalber stated his aversion to plain stucco, � and Commissioner willis wanted the present buildings restuccoed. They agreed to impose Condition No. 46, "Existing i buildings shall receive a color coat of stucco to match the new construction, as well as a facade treatment on the front of the existing buildings." i Chairperson Dove asked about the fence along the driveway to prevent cars parked on the lawn and Mr. Fenderson suggested just a raised planter along the driveway. Commissioner Pryor didn't want this particular lot to look different than the j rest along the street. � DISK M3:PC011089 I 7 I � i � I � Zt was agreed to impose Condition No. 47, "A raised planter bed shall be installed along the side of the driveway next to the lawn. .

Mr. Barnes commented about an annual audit. Commissioner Haynes commented that builders want to build outside of the zoning codes. He stated that when the Commissioners deny � applicant's requests, it's because the applicants want to tell the Commissioners what to do. xe said he resents builders like the Galindo's who demand that the Commissioners do what they want just so they can make money. Referring to the City Council's denial of the General Plan Amendments and 2one Changes, Commissioner Haynes stated that sometimes the City Council thinks we are not doing our job, however, we are trying to promote the growth of Lynwood, not the �death of Lynwood.
