CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: L Tentative Parcel Map No. 15467 - Case No. 9(TPM 15) 11400 California Avenue (Reverend Dr. Charles Floyd) Applicant requests approval to consolidate five parcels into two im the R-3 (MUlti-Family Residential) zone. Mr. Fenderson stated that Public Works Department removed Condition No. 8, the payment of fees had been waived; Condition No. 9, since the buildings have already been built, grading is not necessary; and under Condition No. 15, subsec- � tions b, reconstruction of damaged curb and gutter; c, recon- struction of damaged pavement; d, construction of twb wheel- chair ramps, and e, installation of two marbelite street lights. , Commissioner Haynes asked Mr. Fenderson if the street lights are not needed. Mr: Fenderson replied that the City Council, at their last meeting, had waived those requirements. _ Mr. Murga stated that this is an old parcel map and the City Council had taken this into consideration when granting the waivers on fees and grading. Mr. Mas stated the Public Works Department had used the City's standard language to obtain a dedication of land to widen the street. Since the City Council had waived the dedication, under Condition No. 15, subsections b, c, d, and e were not needed: Commissioner' Haynes again asked if the street lights are not needed. - Mr. Murga agreed that the street lights are needed, but the City Council had decided, since this is an old parcel map, and since Caltrans may widen the street in the future, to waive the street lights. � '�� Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. minutes7:disk7 2 Dr. Charles Leonard Floyd, 3696 Cedar Avenue, Lynwood, rose to say this project began five years ago. He stated the only �.=:c:;,��..::, ?i,_' ;Zad to come back to the City now is becaus� of a s3mple e'rror on the part of staff, they didn't sign off the parcel map in August 1983. He apologized to the neighbors to his church far the long time they have had to suffer with the problems associated with construction. Dr. Floyd spoke of his problems with the FDIC and the Savings and Loan mess and his attempts to resolve the matter with FDIC Attorney Zayer. Commissioner Haynes asked Dr. Floyd why he went to the City Council before coming to the Planning Commission. Dr. Floyd stated that his attorney wanted to get Harold C. Williams (the City Engineer at tht time) or Joseph Wang (the present City Engineer and Assistant City Engineer at that time) to take care of the matter. Dr. Floyd further stated he had spent $3,000 with a civil engineer to get new plans so he could take them to the City Council and get everything over with. Also, prior to the City Council meeting, he and his attorney had considered a lawsuit against the City. Dr. Floyd continued, the present City staff wants him to give the City 10' off his front property and 7' off the sides, he won't do that. He understood that Caltrans was supposed to take care of the widening of the street. Chairperson Dove asked if the present lot configuration is the same as it was in 1983. Dr. Floyd stated it is identical. Chairperson Dove thanked Dr. Floyd and asked if there was anyone present wishing to speak in favor of the proposal. There was no one. Chairperson Dove then asked if anyone present wished to speak against the proposal. Mrs. Reese, 3540 Mulford Avenue, Lynwood, rose to state she lives 1/2 block from the project. She and her neighbors have waited for seven years and now there are two, two-story shells of buildings with no doors and no windows. Vagrants are always sleeping there, the neighbors hear vagrants fight- ing there at 3:00 a.m., causing lots of police activity. The church is covered with graffiti and surrounded by dead bush- es. Mrs. Reese stated she doubts if the church has any active congregation holding services. Mrs. Reese stated that she and her neighbors no longer have the peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Now Dr. Floyd is being given another two years and the possibility of three one-year extensions if the Planning Commission approves this Tentative Parcel Map. Mrs. Reese complained that the neighborhood just can't afford this. She requested disapproval of the Tentative Parcel map and abatement required on the property. Or, if the Commis- sion wants to approve, just give Dr. Floyd one year finish the project. Chairperson Dove asked Mr. Barnes 'if this could be done. minutes7:disk7 3 I Mr. Barnes replied that extentions are not discretionary, the law grants three possible extentions. �.c.iY°'...�an�s ,.. �..:'.:, asked Dr. Floyd if the conditians are as stated by Mrs. Reese. Dr. Floyd stated that actually the conditions are worse. Example, five to six homeless men sleep in the buildings. He stated he needs the FDIC to help, and, instead, the FDIC is trying to take the property away from him to give to St. Emydius Church. St. Emydius Church wants to build a youth center there. Dr. Floyd stated that there is an active congregation that meets every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. and he invited all present to join them. Dr. Floyd stated the buildings had once been 93� complete, beautifully painted, carpeted, and a new roof. He said the san who took the windows is now in jail. Dr. Floyd added that he can drive the'Commissioners around the neighborhood and show them his doors which are now being used by his neighbors. Dr. Floyd stated he has spent over $100,000 in legal fees and the FDIC is now charging his church $341 every day in interest. Commissioner Willis stated his concern about taking any action since the City Council has already acted. Mr. Barnes stated Dr. Floyd tried to bypass the Commission by keeping the old tentative parcel map and not applying for a new parcel map. He said the Commissioners can reimpose the waived conditions or require new conditions. Chairperson Dove stated he didn't want to continue the present conditions, he wanted to take an action that would make a positiive contribution to the neighborhood. Commissioner Haynes stated his concerns are with Mrs. Reese . : and her neighbors. He questioned how fast the church administration will complete the project if the Commission gives its approval again. He asked how fast the doors and windows will be replaced. Further, Commissioner Haynes questioned if the graffiti will be removed. He stated his aversion to continuing in the same situation £or another year. Commissioner Pryor asked why a tentative parcel map is required for a church. Mr. Mas replied that it is now five separate parcels of land and the five lots need to be made into two lots, the church can then sell one. The development is across property lines and a easement is needed for a parking lot. Commissioner Pryor commented that Dr. Floyd has spent so much , money for legal fees, couldn't some of the money be used to clean up the property. After all, he added this is a church. minutes7:disk7 4 Mr. Mas stated the applicant cannot go ahead with construction and will have to go back to the City Council if ;'r;•* '; - •:r.<a,�; ;?;•r,r,mission .:,:��s�a't grant the permit. Refusal to approve wil'1 only extend the present situation. The City Council will probably initiate abatement procedures, Mr. Mas added. Dr. Floyd replied that he has legal problems with the FDIC. The (FDIC) has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and are now in Chapter 7. The FDIC appraised the property at $375,000. Dr. Floyd said he asked to buy it at that price and the FDIC attorney said the property isn't for sale at any price. Dr. Floyd stated he doesn't want to put anymore money into the property because the FDIC won't give the property to his church. Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked Dr. Floyd if a fence would help. Dr. Floyd replied that he is cutting a contract with Community Development to lease the property for fifteen years, and yes, a fence would help. He stated his contractor won't take any money until a fence is up. He said there had once been a fence, even the fence had been stolen. Chairperson Dove stated the clock won't start running until Dr. Floyd gets word from the FDIC. Dr. Floyd stated he is due in court on December 4, 1989, with the FDIC. He plans to win even if he has go to to Congressman Gonzalez. He told the Commissioners that had this tentative tract map been filed in 1983, when he still had money, the work would have been done. He stated he didn't know the map hadn't been filed until 1986. Commissioner Pryor stated he didn't understand, if Dr. Floyd had money in 1983, why didn't he finish? Dr. Floyd said there was very little left to be done, the work was 93� finished, then the Orange Coast Thrift and Loan Company folded. He stated he now has two companies who will loan money to his church. He said the original reason for changing the five lots into two was to separate religious and commercial buildings. he said he would be glad to settle with the FDIC, then will secure the building, pick up the garbage, etc. Commissioner Willis asked Dr. Floyd if he will clean the property weekly while waiting for the legal matters to settle. Dr. Floyd said he now has a man living in the center house, , and he will have a trash bin brought in to help with the cleanup. Chairperson Dove asked Dr. Floyd if the law enforcement ' people have been helpful and Dr. Floyd replied in the affirmative. Dr. Floyd said the drug dealers are still selling on his corner, but this is because the Sheriff . Department can't have people there twenty-four hours a day. minutes7:disk7 5 � - , , i Chairperson Dove asked for�a motion. � ;,�:;:-., � + �`=9a , '�`� ::�, ` '-:� � .. :aolution could be amended to requite an immediate cleanup and weekly cleanups thereafter. He further asked if Dr. Floyd could be required to return to the Commission in 30 days to report on any progiess. Mr. Barnes stated that the cleanup is really a Code Enforcement matter, after all, this is not a CUP but a TPM, and.it is also inappropriate to require Dr. Floyd to report to the Commission. However, both an immediate cleanup and weekly cleanups can be required. Mr. Barnes suggested adding Condition No. 18 that the property must be immediately cleaned and properly maintained until construction is completed. MOTZON, by Commissioner Haynes, SECONDED by Commissioner Pryor, to adopt Resolution No. 2289, "A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 15467 TO COMBINE PARCELS 9, 10, 11, 12, AND 13 INTO TWO LOTS 362 AND 363 OF TRACT NO. 2551 MB 24-78-80 PER MAP RECORDED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY," subject to the stated conditions and requirements, adding Condition No. 18, the property must be immediately cleaned and property properly maintained until construction is completed, and certifying that the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3).

Variance Case No. 3(VAR 3) 3654 Imperial Highway (Elias Ayoub) Applicant requests approval to construct a ten (10) foot high monument sign in the HMD (Hospital, Medical, Dental) zone. Mr. Fenderson defined a"pole sign" as a sign that has airspace between the ground and the sign, and a"monument sign" as a sign that has no space between the ground and the sign (monolithic). - Mr. Fenderson stated he went to the site last week and talked with Mr. Ayoub, who told him he had spent so much money on the building that he needs a larger sign than permitted by City Code. Mr. Fenderson stated that the lot doesn't qualify for a monument sign. Chairperson Dove asked how high the bottom of the pole sign would be from ground level and if a pole sign could be used. ' Mr. Fenderson replied that Mr. Ayoub can't have a pole sign, the lot doesn't qualify and besides, a pole sign couldn't be seen. Staff suggests a sign on the building, th'is would be aesthetically pleasing and visible. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Elijah Salem, 9330 Pecan, Cypress, California, 90630, representing the applicant, rose to state that two signs were present on the building (one on the roof) when construction started. Now the building has been extensively remodeled. ' The lot is narrow and the owner wants a monument sign ten feet high, two feet wide by. two feet, twisted slightly in the northeast corner of the lot. (Think of Washington Monument). He needs this particular sign because of present high E buildings and present signage of two neighbors. He merely wants to identify the doctor's building. The owner does not want a sign on his building, wants a separate monumnet sign ten feet high, • Mr. Fenderson stated that a monument sign ten feet high would , be disgroportional and small trees should be planted in that spot. He asked Mr. Salem if Mr. Ayoulv is getting funding from the City. Mr. Salem replied that Mr_ Ayoub is trying to get money from the City but it has not yet been determined that he will. F minutes7:disk7 9 Mr. Fenderson stated that staff has offered various alternatives, but Mr. Ayoub has remained adamant that he has .: ,.-.:; to have a ten-foot moru'aieiri; �i��i�. �::.:;.. �. ,:;s•.:. t'.:.ygested perhaps a projection sign attached on one side to the building, which is not acceptable to Mr. Ayoub. Mr. Ayoub wants his sign to be equal to those of the chiropractor and gynocologist signs next door, and , in order to do this, the sign must be a monument sign ten feet high. Mr. Barnes stated that there has to be something unusual about the applicant's property, not his neighbors' property, to qualify for a variance. The signs present on his neighbors' property do not qualify as something unusual because the unusual condition must stem from his particular piece of property. Commissioner Haynes commented that it is an unusual circumstance when a sign isn't visible from one side. Mr. Salem stated that the building is twelve-foot high, and they might accept an eight-foot monument sign, but the ten- foot would be better. Mr. Barnes suggested this item should be continued to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission so photographs can be brought to show the Commissioners. He stated this had deteriorated into a negotiating session and negotiations should be done at the staff level, and before the item reaches the Commission. Dr. Ayoub stated he wants approval right now, he is moving this weekend and will need the sign. Chairperson Dove stated the sign couldn't be build fast enough to be there this weekend regardless of hat the Commission does, and Dr. Ayoub agreed. MOTION carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Dove, Cole-Dennis, Haynes, McMiller, Muhsin, Pryor, Willis NOES: None ` ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None STAFF COMMENTS Mr. Fenderson stated that all elements for the new General Plan should have been received by staff by October 17, 1989. Staff should then be able to schedule a Public Hearing soon. He expects to present the new General Plan to the Planning Commission in February 1990 and then the City Council should approve same in Y4arclt Z990. Commissioner Pryor commented that this should be well-publicized so that the public will be sure to know about the proposed changes. minutes7:disk7 10 ; Commissioner Haynes stated he realizes staff is undermanned, still he wants Commissioner Cole-Dennis' Public Notification ` Program completed. Mr. k'enderson commented that he has limited personnel at present, but work is proceeding on the Public Notification Brogram. Mr. Barfield stated he is researching plague companies, should have something at the next meeting for Commissioner Kanka. Commissioner Haynes thanked him for his diligence. • PUBLIC ORALS � There was none. COMMISSION ORALS Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked what happened to the missing minutes and Mr. Fenderson replied that their clerk typist returned from vacation and quit. Commissioner Haynes agreed that the minutes should be brouqht to the Planning Commission. The minutes clerk stated she had delivered all minutes prior to this meetinq to the City of Lynwood. , At this time, a discussion about Code Enforcement: Possibility, -` of getting funds to hire a secretary and another Code Enforcement officer approved by the City Council; possibility of turning the , Code Enforcement responsibilities over to Los Angeles County; possibility of contracting with Los Angeles County; the large number of unanswered and unenforced Code Enforcement complaints, "giving some complaints to the County Health Department if they can be considered sanitation complaints.

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 lot consolidation include the following findings: (a) Design of the�proposed site; and (b) Consistency of the proposed.site with the General Plan. Desicrn Of The Proposed Site Consolidation a. The design of the proposed lot consolidation shows the consolidated lots to be in character with existing industrial developments in the area. b. The proposal is meant for the consolidation of two lots into one in order to allow better utilization of the property. c. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of the development permitted by the General Plan and zoning ordinance in that the parcels are substantially flat and able to support the type of development proposed. Consistencv Of The Site With The General Plan a.

The size and location of the proposed project does not significantly change the character of the existing environment. c. The proposed consolidation is consistent with the Zoning Classification of M(Manufacturing) the General Plan designation of Industrial.

Mr. Barfield stated the Planning Commission continued this item, on August 8, 1989, to give the applicant time to address various groblems found by the Site Plan Review Committee. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Alphonoso Avila, 8997 California Avenue, South Gate, 90280, represting the applicant, rose to state their acceptance of all conditions. ttiere being no one else wishing to speak, either in favor of, or in.opposition to the proposal, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Cole-Dennis stated that, except for the apartments next door, the area was mostly single-family dwellings. She stated the driveway is very small for so many units. Also, there are already so many children in the area, and they must attend Roosevelt Elementary School located over a mile away, plus a letter was received from the Lynwood School Board. Chairperson Dove stated that the property is zoned R-3 and the proposed use agrees with the General Plan. Commissioner Haynes commented that the school system is already overcrowded, there will be increased demands on City services, such as the Fire Department, increased demands on Iocal medical facilities, plus the City is already paying over a quarter of a million in fines that must.be paid because the school system is overcrowded. . Commissioner Haynes then asked Mr. Barfield if all of the Commissioner's concerns £rom previous meetings had been notified and Mr. Barfield replied in the affirmative. � Mr. Fenderson stat'ed that the applicant had originally applied for permission to build five units, staff had , prevailed upon him to agreet to the three units now requested. He agreed that the City of Lynwood is overcrowded and that the school board has fallen short by not planning . £or growth. Mr. Mas stated that for the past ten to twelve years, the City has been working closely on denisty and the quality of developments coming into the City. Staff always tries at the , Site Plan meeting to reduce both the number of units and the size of the units, because of the overcrowding of City schools and the increased demands on City services. Staff - must deal within the framework of state laws. Staff works �hard to redvice density and emphasize open space for chilren ' to play since overcrowding at the schools precludes using school grounds for rebreational activities.

Variance Case No. 3(VAR. 3Z 3654 Imperial Highway (Elias Ayoub) ' Applicant requests approval to construct a ten (10) foot high monument sign in the HMD (Hospital, Medical, Dental) zone. Mr. Fenderson stated the applicant now has an alternate plan which he wishes to present to the Commission and staff at the ' same time. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Ed Salem, 9330 Pecan, Cypress, representing Elias Ayoub, rose to show original drawings to the Commissioners and explain same. Fte stated the applicant wishes to have an attractive sign, he is in the process of being elected Cheif of Staff, _ which demonstrates his' commitment to the community. he showed several snapshots to the Commissioners and discussed same. Mr, Salem said that patients say they can't locate the building, and when they do, they almost have accidents. this problem is inost acute for patients driving from the freeway. He can solve the problem on the Century side by signs on the wall and parapet, it is most important to have a sign on the front wall. Mr. Salem stated the applicant's desire to have an eight foot hi'gh by three feet (8'x3') wide monument sign. (Think monolithic.) � Commissioner McMiller asked Mr. Fenderson his opinion of the 8' monument sign and Mr. Fenderson replied they hadn't had a chance to consider it, this was the first they'd heard of it. Chairperson Dove said he�d approve it if it meets with the City Code standards. Mr. Fenderson stated the site doesn't meet the criteria to allow a variance. The variance has to be granted because of _ the site, not because of the applicant's business problems. The variance must be tied to that particular piece of . property. Commissioner Cole-Dennis said she'd seen a new sign for the building next door that is ten feet high and she knows the Commissioner didn't vote on it. • There was then a short discussion about the sign on the fron _ to f the applicant's building between Mr. Salem, Commissioner Cole-Dennis and mr. Mas, culminating in the conclusion that the sign is there because it is required by City Code. !�_, �.� . • minutesdisk:7 . 5 I I Commissioner Cole-Dennis then commented on the fact that the applicant's building goes all the way to the sidewalk and the C.ity must have agreed to this. this alone is a problem, she added. Mr. Mas stated he would have the neighbor's sign inspected. He stated nothing could be done about signs erected before the'ordinance was adopted, but no new signs could violate the ordinance. He stated the hardship must emanate from the land, not the business of the property owner or the user of the property. Commissioner Cole-Dennis said this progerty has problems becaase the building on it is built all the way to the sidewalk. Mr: Salem said the problem comes from the way the land was subdivided. i Chairperson Dove stated the curvature of the street also contributes to the problem. Commissioner Haynes said they were beating a dead dog. Ae asked Mr. Salem if he couldn't accept a six foot sign, and a Mr. Salem replied that they needed an eight foot sign, this ' was the absolute minimum because of the six foot fence. The Commissioner looked at the pictures provided by Mr. Salem. Commissioner Aaynes stated his sympathies lie with the man's situation and his need for a variance to allow an eight foot high monument. There being no one else wishing'to speak, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing and told Mr. Salem theyu wou2d recall him if they had any more questions. ' Mr. Mas stated that if the Commissioners grant the variance that staff will work with the applicant. Staff must stay within the parameters of the City Code and the sign as proposed exceeds by two feet the allowable height. ' Mr. Jaramillo stated the Commissioners have two decisions to make. First, they must find the hardship, then they must ' find the particulars to grant that will alleviate the , hardship. Both Commissioners Cole-Dennis and Haynes agxeed that a hardship exists because the applicant can't advertise his business. Commissioner Willis asked Mr. Salem when the applicant determined that a hardship existed and how 'long he had been located at the site,when he determined that the hardship existed. Mr. Salem replied that there was a very large, high sign on the roof when the applicant acquired the property and when he was well into construction, he was told he couldn�t put the same sign up anywhere, now that he has taken it down. He has assumed the existing sign could be replaced once the building . was redone. The key problem at this time is that people cam�t identify this site, and this could cause financila "` �'-, problems. ' minutesdisk:7 _ 6 . a Mr.' Fenderson stated.that financial hardship for the applicant can't be considered in granting the variance. Commissioner :•?illis stated he couldn 'r ;., ��1;,�r:a a _- variance as the situation presently stands. He added that 50� of the people have the same problem, if this vaziance�is granted, other people will now want larger signs. Chairperson Dove stated that there is something distinct about this particular property. Commissioner Haynes stated the Commissioner were hear to decide if the property is in a position whereby a sign is needed to designate where it is located. MOTZON by Commissioner Haynes, SECONDED by Commissioner Cole-Dennis to find first, that the property suffers a hardship and secondly, that the Commission directs staff to make a recommendation for a solution in appropriate signage. .

Mr. Mas suggested the Commissioners look at the location map attached to the subject item and they could see that it's not the same parcel Commissioner Haynes referred to.
