ZSSUES AND ANALYSIS
1. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning
classification �(R-3) and the General Plan designation
(MUlti-Family Housing). Therefore, granting Conditional
Use Permit No. 19, will not adversely affect the General
Plan.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The subject property. is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed development relative to the proposed
density; bulk of the structures; parking; wall fences; ,
driveways, and other development features required by the
Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the subject property is
adequately served with the required public utilities and I
offers adequate vehicular and pedestrian accessibility.
3. Compliance with DeveloAment Standards �
The proposed development meets all the development standards �
required by the Zoning Ordinance regarding off-street I
parking; front, side, and rear yard setbacks; lot coverage,
height, unit size; and density. I

. 4. Compatibilitv
The proposed project will be located in a neighborhood that
is substantially transitioned from single-family to
multi-family residences. Properties located to the north
and east are developed with a fourplex and duplex,
respectively, and other properties in the vicinity are
developed with multiple units. The proposed project is
consistent with the R-3 2oning in the area and with the
(Multi-Family Residential) General Plan designation.
5. Conditions of Approval
The improvements proposed, subject to the conditions recom
mended by the Site Plan Review Committee, will not have a
negative effect on the values of the surrounding properties
or interfere with or endanger the public health, safety or
welfare.
6. Benefits to Communitv
The proposed development will aid to aesthetically upgrade
the neighborhood and will act as a catalyst to foster other
quality developmepts. Moreover, the development will add
favorably to the City's housing stock in furtherance of the
policies of the Housing Element of the General Plan.
7. Environmental Assessment
The Community Development Staff has determined that the
project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061
b(3) of the State of California Environmental Act of 1989 as
amended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2286:

App2icant: Elias Ayoub
PROPOSAL: '
The applicant is requesting a variance to erect a ten foot high
monument sign in the HMD (Hospital-Medical-Dental) zone at 3654
E. Imperial Highway, Lynwood.
This item was continued from the City Planning Commission meeting
of October 10, 1989. At that meeting City Staff had proposed to
resolve the issue by working on alternative proposals for sign- I
age. The applicant and staff were unable to come to a resolution �
and staff recommendation remains unchanged. I
I
FACTS: 1
1. Source of Authoritv
i
I
i
While Section 25.33 5.5 of the Sign Ordinance regulates the �
construction of freestanding monument signs. Section 25-26 re- �
i quires that a Variance be obtained from the Planning Commission I
; when, because of special circumstances applicable to the proper- i
; ty, the strict application of the Zoning or Sign Ordinance de-
prives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in �
the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. �
i �
2. PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE i
I
The property is located on the south side of Imperial Highway �
between Century Boulevard and Stockwell Drive. The property
is rectangular in shape and is approximately 6,000 square �
feet.(50'x120').
3. EXISTING LAND USE I
�
The site is developed with a medical building and is sur- +
rounded by the following land uses: �

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION:
1. Consistency with General Plan
The Proposed Land Use is consistent with the existing zoning
being classified as Hospital-Medical-Dental (HMD) however the
General Plan designation is commercial. This inconsistency
will be resolved during the General Plan update.
2. Site Suitabilitv
The property is not adequate in size and shape to accomodate
the proposed sign as required by the Sign Ordinance.
3. Compatibility
The proposed monument sign and height is incompatible with
the height and type" of signs on neighboring properties, which �
mostly are wall signs. ;
I
4. COMPLIANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Specific Findings: �
According to the Data and Sign Plans submitted by the appli- i
cant, all sign plans indicate that the proposed sign is a
pole sign and not a monument sign. �
I
I
Ordinance No. 1322 of the City of Lynwood with respect to i
regulating freestanding signs city wide calls for a minimum
of 150 feet of street frontage for all monument signs. The I
subject property has a frontage of only 50 linear feet thus, �
lacking l00 linear feet.
Further the Ordinance with regard to monument signs in com- !
mercial zones allows signs up to 6 feet above finished grade. �
The applicant proposes a 10 foot sign thus making a differ- I
ence of 4 feet in height. t
I
Additional sign height may be approved for a commercial or r
industrial center, if approved as part of a site plan by the p
City's Site Plan Review Committee. However, under no cir- !
cumstance shall any sign exceed ten (10) feet in height or 50 I
sq.ft. (per side) in sign area. �
i
The proposed monument sign and height is incompatible with I
the height and type of signs on neighboring properties, which �
are mostly wall signs.
If the applicant were to be granted a 10 foot high monument t
sign, the sign would only have optimum visibility from the �
east traveling west on Imperial Highway. If one were to be
traveling east on Imperial Highway one would not see the sign �
until one got in front of the Medical Building. ;

I
I

I

- , �
After reviewing,the sign proposal, the applicant does not
meet the findings required in Section 25-26.7 for a variance.
Nor, are there any exceptions or extraordinary findings that
would give staff the grounds to recommend the granting of a
��ariance. The Redevelopment Agency Staff is not willing to
Il upport the variance as mentioned. (see attachment)
The'property is a standard lot with no hardships experienced
i that would require an exceptional privilege and does not meet
the State requirements 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 signs of this nature, with visual clutter
which the existing Signs Ordinance is trying to preclude.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Staff has determined that this project is categorically
exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as
amended by Section 15061 b(3). Therefore, a Notice of Exemp-
tion has been prepared and is on file in the Community Devel- I
opment Department and the office of the City Clerk. I
RECOMMENDATION I
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration the I
Planning Commission deny the Variance Request: I
a. Finding that a hardship has not been established that �
would require a Variance for Case No. 3 as determined
by Section 25-26 of the City of Lynwood Zoning Code. j
b. Finding that the applicant will not be deprived of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties I
in the same vicinity if the recommendation of denial
is upheld.

MEMORANDUM
September 18, 1989
TO: Jlubrey Fenderson
Planning Manager
FROM: Renrick Karefa-Johnson
ficonomic Development I3anager
RE: VARIANCE NO. 3 �
The Redevelopment Division submits the following comments
referenced the subject proposal in the Redevelopment Project
Area A:
.
ANALYSIS:
The subject property is located on the south side of '
Imperial Highway between Martin Luther King Houlevard and �
Stockwell Drive. The request was recently denied by the
Redevelopment Division staff because it did not meet the
requirements of the city's sign regulations. �
I
The applicant has selected to file this Variance instead of I
changing the siqn. The zoning ordinance allows a maximum I
height of six (6') feet above grade for a monument sign. �
The sign as proposed is ten (10') feet high. �
The lot is a typical lot in the F�+ID zone (see attached �
assessor's map). The applicant is correct is stating that �
the property is setback further from the street that the
other properties. However, in staff's professional opinion, �
this is not a justification for a Variance. Staff is �
further concerned that approval of this sign height Variance
may set a precedent encouraging the installation of non- �
conforming signs in the HI+ID zone. �
Staff is unable to establish the Findings needed for ,
approval of the Variance.
�
SPECIFIC FINDINGS:
]►. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances �
or conditions applicable to the development rite that do �
not apply generally to sites in the same zoninq district i
(I�ID), in tkiat the lot in question is a typical lot in �
the HI+ID zo�•. �
I
�
�I
V16A:VAR3 I
f
I
. i
B. Granting the application is not necessary for the
preservation nnd enjoyment of a substantial property
right of the :?�,po7.tca^�. ,�rd to prevent unreasonable
property loss or unnecessary hardship in that a sign
with a maximum height of 6 feet can be installed on the
property and wovld appropriately address the concerns
of vehicle and pedestriaa visibility.
C. Granting the application may be detrimental or injurious
to property or improvements ia the vicinity of the
development site, or to the public health, eafety or
general welfare because it may set a precedent
encouraging non-conforming signs in the neighborhood.
D. Granting the application is not consistent with the
General Plan and the zoning ordinance and would
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with limitatiou on other properties in the vicinity and
in the same soning district, in that it would legitimize
an illegal sign, thus encouraging installation of signs
which do not meet city standards.
It is recommended that this application be denied. �

The property is a naROw strip, two-ifiirds of the width being
occupied by the structure. The balance 1s in landscaping
surrounded by a 6' high omamental heavy wrought iron fence for
security and aesthetic purposes. Having been completely
remodeled, the site requires a sign calling attention to the offices.
All of the other properties in the area have large signs or exposure
to traffic. The building to the east is offset and has a high sign
advertising its location. The building to the west occupies
approximately the s5me positioning, bfocks the exposure of this
Properfy to the east, but, because of the setback of the buildings
in the shopping center has a lot of exposure ftom the east. The
only parcel not enjoying exposure is 3654. The only exposure for
this building is that from a drive by on Imperial Highway. This
being the case, the recognition of the property by the sign
aitached to the front of the building does not occur until you
have reached the building itself.

To the contrary, the permff, if granted will enhance the property
and the improvements in the area. The sign design wiil impact
favorably and augment the renovations made. The monument
sign will be sufficientiy set back as not to block or obstruct the
view or provide a safety hazard for anyone or any property in the
area. It will be of such design as to comply with or exceed ali
building codes and standards, providing an additional degree of
safety. Further, if no easily visible sign is availabie, patients
searching for the built�ing could cause a traffic hazard on Imperial
Highway, by slowing on the throughway, while looking for the
address. With higher visibility, and the ability to locate the
building in advance, they could plan the turn into the street
necessary to reach the parking area. Othen�vise, the reaching of
the location, then seeing the sign on the building, concomitant
with slowing down, being in a quandary as to where to tUrn
would cause a major traffic hazard.)

9. Such vaAance Is necessary for ihe preservation and enjoyment ot a substantlal property righi of
the applicant, because:
Without the ability to post a sign that is visible much hardship
. could be caused to the patients looking for the offices. In this
case, a number of pafients, upon getFing discouraged about
locafing the building would give up the search and find another
doctor. This would substantially injure the overall business.

10. The granting of such varlance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan, by
re�on of the following:
The comprehensive general plan calls for orderly growth and
aestheticaily designed renovations and construction in Lynwood.
The improvements already made to the location, including
building, landscaping and construction are commensurate with
the wishes described in the plan. Further, the granfing of this
variance will not cause any deviation from the intent of the
general plan for standards for the construction and renovation of
the area. The sign for which variance is requested would be of
- such taste as to complement the plan.

PROPOSAL:
Staff is proposing to add to Chapter 25, the official Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Lynwood; to provide a CEQA monitoring
program for discretionary development projects and permits City-
wide.
FACTS•
The State of California has adopted a new law, effective this
year (AB-3180) which requires all public agencies to adopt re-
� porting or monitoring Programs when they approve projects subject
to environmental impact reports or negative declarations. The
, monitoring program is to ensure compliance with project implemen-
tation, and that prescribed mitigation measures are completed.
Attached is a copy of the monitoring program as composed by the
City Attorney's office. The program uses a checklist approach and
requires a designated city official be chosen to oversee the
program.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The proposed amendment 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 Plan-
ning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2302.
a. The project is exempt from the provisions of State CEQA
Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3).
b. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in
Resolution No. 2302, waive the reading and introduce
� the proposed ordinance amendment.

ORDINANCE N0.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
' CITY OF LYNWOOD AMENDING CHAPTER 25, THE
OFFICIAL ZONING ORDINANCE, OF THE LYNWOOD
MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING SECTION 25-32.4
CREATING A CEQA MONITERING PROGRAM FOR
DZSCREATIONARY DEVEIAPMENT PROJECTS.
WHEREAS, Public Resources Code 21081.6 requires that
all public agencies adopt a reporting or monitoring program for
projects within their jurisdiction which require either an
environmental impact report or a negative declaration;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of
Lynwood does hereby proclaim, order and resolve as follows:
Section 1. Definitions.
1. Designated City Official. This term refers to
member of the City staff chosen by the Director

concerning that project.
Section 2. Monitoring Steps. The City of Lynwood's
CEQA monitoring program shall consist of the following steps:
1. The designated city official shall use the draft
' EIR or the negative declaration of a proposed project to prepare
, a checklist of tnitigation measures which need to be met. This
checklist stiall then be given to the project proponent.
' 2. The project proponent and the designated city
I ' I official shall agree on a timetable for completion of the
i mitigation measures and for sending updated copies of the
� checklist to the designated city official.
3. The project proponent shall fill in the checklist
as the work progresses and provide updated copies to the
designated city official as agreed in step (2). the designated
city official shall stamp the date received on each updated copy
and place it in the�project file.
