Commissioner Haynes asked why no City Attorney was present. Mr. Mas stated the attorney had been informed of the meeting but he was unable to attend. Mr. Mas stated the material presented by staff was checked and approved by`the City attorney, so every- thing was legally covered. " DISKM5:PC082889 . 1 i Commissioner Haynes stated his displeasure and unwillingness to % appr.ove or amend material presented to the Commission without the guidance of an attorney.

Mr. Mas stated there was no legal violation or any violation of rules. Chairperson Dove asked if there is any restriction as to the size of letters. He finds that small letters can be a hazard, espe- cially on the freeway. Mr. Mas replied that only the size of the sign is limited, but a , . scale drawing must be submitted to staff before approval is granted'. , � At this time, it must be noted that three typos were found in the proposed ordinance. 1), in the heading "ABCDE" should be changed to "ABCD" since there is no item E, 2), in the "On-Premises Freestanding Sign." paragraph, it should read "may only be erect- ed,�� and_3), under item (A), it should read "up to a maximum of two hundred (200) square feet." There was a long discussion as to which side of a corner lot, would be considered the proper side to measure and it was agreed that both sides of a corner lot cannot be considered. - ; Commiasioner Haynes stated he would like "any sign must deal with the mailing address, " added to the ordinance. Mr. Mas stated that if Commissioner Haynes wanted that added, it could be added, _ as it is now, on a corner property, the City must take into consideration the frontage that will accommodate the proposed sign. Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Layton Hall, 3653 E. Imperial Highway, Lynwood, rose to state . his support for the proposed ordinance. He stated that if Lyn- wood wishes to attract major retail companies, like K-Mart, which spend millions to locate their outlets; they must be permitted to have easily visible signs. A lack of good signage can cause the loss of 1�� of possible retail sales, which affects the potential tax base and man hours worked, he stated. There being no one else wishing to speak either in favor of or in opposition to the proposal, Chairperson Dove closed the Public Hearing.

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. Desian Of The Proposed Site Consolidation a. The design of the proposed lot consolidation shows the consolidated lots to be in character with existing residential developments in the area. b. The proposal is meant for the consolidation of five lots into two 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 R-3 the General Plan designation of Multi-family residential.

Mas, Director Community Development Department City of Lynwood >>330 Bullis Road Lynwood, CA 90262 RE: Potential Impact of Proposed Development on Public School System Case No. CUP 23 . Dear A1r, Mas: Please be advised that the Lynwood Unified School District has received notice of the above application for the proposed residential development, to be located at northwest corner of Fernwood and Birch, Lynwood California. The proposed development is located in the Wilson Elementary School Attendance Area. This school is currently overcrowded an aithough portable classrooms are being used to help alleviate the problem, the long range solution to the overcrowded conditions requires the construction of several new schools. This long range solution will take three to five years. In addition, any proposed new enrollees due to this residential project will be attending Hosfer Junior High School and Lynwood High School, both of which are also experiencing severe overcrowded conditions. The impact of this development to our enrollment may be as follows: Primary: 0.6 Yield Factor x 6 units = 3.6 new students Secondary: 0.3 Yield Factor x 6 units = 1, new students Considering that all of our schools are already overcrowded this new development has a very NEGATIVE impact on the School District.

SUBJECT: Variance Case No. 3 Applicant: Elias Ayoub PROPOSAL• The applicant is requesting a variance to erect a ten foot high monument sign in the HIrID (Hospital-Medical-Dental) zone at 3654 E. Imperial Highway, Lynwood. FACTS• 1. Source of Authority While Section 25.33 5.5 of the Sign Ordinance regulates the construction of freestanding monument signs, Section 25-26 requires that a Variance be obtained from the Planning Comm'ission when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, the strict application of the Zoning or Sign Ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. 2. PROPERTY LOCATION AND SZZE 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 The site is developed with a medical building and is sur- . rounded by the following land uses: North - Commercial South - Residential East - Commercial (Medical) west - Commercial 4. LAND USE DESCRIPTION GENERAL PLAN ZONING North - Commercial CB-1 South - Multi-Family R-3 East - Commercial � West - Commercial �`'ID 5. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS The variance request would allow the applicant to locate a � mornunent sign without the 150 foot street frontage required, arid to erect 1 a 10 foot high monument sign instead of a pes.initted 6 foot monwnent sign. I 6. Site Plan Review I j At its regular meeting of Septe�nbei 28, 1989 the Site Plan Review Cortmittee � rec.�nded denial of the proposed signage. � 7. Zoning Enforcement History I ! None of History, I � DISK 53:VAR3 i l � i� ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION: , 1. Consistency with General Plan The Proposed Land Use is consistent with the existing zoning being classified as Hospital-Medical-Dental (HI�ID) however the General Plan designation is commercial. This inconsistency will be resolved during the General Plan update. 2. Site Suitability The property is adequaEe in size and shape to accomodate a standard sign relative to structures, parking, walls, fences, landscaping, driveways and other development features re- quired by the Zoning 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. 4. COMPLIANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Specific Findings: According to the Data and Sign Plans submitted by the appli- cant, all sign plans indicate that the proposed sign is a pole sign and not a monument sign. Ordinance No. 1322 of the City of Lynwood with respect to regulating freestanding signs city wide calls for a minimum of 150 feet of street frontage for all monument siqns. The subject property has a frontage of only 50 linear feet thus, lacking 100 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- ence of 4 feet in height. Additional sign height may be approved for a commercial or industrial center, if approved as part of a site plan by the City's Site Plan Review Committee. However, under no cir- cumstance shall any sign exceed ten (10) feet in height or 50 sq.ft. (per side) in sign area. The proposed monument sign and height is incompatible with 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 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 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 extiaordinavy findings that would give staff reason to reoamiend the I granting of a variance. The Redeveloprt�ent Agency is not willing to support the variance as mentioned. (see attachment) � The property is a standard lot with no hardships experienced that would � require an exceptional privilege and does not meet the State requirements � for findings of a Vaziance. I I I I 1 ; ' Undoubtedly grantinq of this Variance would set a precedent in the city that would eventually result in the increased construction of eigns of this nature. 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- opment Department_ and the office of the City Clerk. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests 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. 3 as determined by Section 25-26 of the City of Lynwood Zoning Code. b. Finding that the applicant will not be deprived of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same vicinity if the recommendation of denial is upheld. 1. Location Map 2.

The request was recently denied by the Redevelopment Division staff because it did not meet the requirements of the city's sign regulations. The applicant has selected to file this Variance instead of changing the sign. The zoning ordinance allows a maximum 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 HI�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. SPECZFIC FINDINGS: A. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the development site that do not apply generally to sites in the same zoning district (HI�ID), in that the lot in question is a typical lot in the HI+ID zone. V16A:VAR3 I � I i 1 B. Granting the application is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant, and 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 would appropriately address the concerns of vehicle and pedestrian visibility. C. Granting the application may be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site, or to the public health, safety 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 limitation on other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning 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. ### I I I I i I i I V16A:VAR3 1 I i � i ' _ — 50' -� r-- - - -- i i i i � I ' .� !

The property is presently improved as follows: The improvements to the outside include a six foot high decorative wrought iron fence, completely new landscaping with timed water sprinklers, a re-stuccoed building with color blending into the surrounding decor, a clay tile decorative parapet roof, a completely redesigned front with decorative planters, decorative wrought iron coverings with new wood framing for the windows, a paving brick sidewalk on the side. On the interior, the forestry is being removed, the � electrical system is being brought up to code, the carpets are all bein� replaced, the waiting room area has been enlarged, the planter area is being enclosed, the ceiling is being re-sprayed, all of the plumbing is being brought up to code, walls are being stripped, wallpapered and/or painted according to the decorators' plan. . � . . ( �� Attachment 3. Unnumbered item: There are excepTional or spedal circumstances appllcable to the properiy including size, shape, Topography, locatlon or surroundings In the following respect: The property is a narrow strip, iwo-thirds of the width being occupied by the structure. The balance is in landscaping surrounded by a 6' high ornamental 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 same positioning, blocks the exposure of this property to the east, but, because of the setback of the buildings in the shopping center has a lot of exposure from 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 attached to the front of the building does not occur until you have reached the building itself. . . ._ � .. �_ � Attachment 4. 8. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or Injurlous to the property or Improvements in such zone or vlcinity In which the properiy is located , for ihe following reasons: To the contrary, the permit, if granted will enhance the properly and the improvements in the area. The sign design will impact favorably and augment the renovations made. The monument sign will be sufficiently set back as not to block or obstruct the view or provide a safety hazard for anyone or any properiy in the area. It will be of such design as to comply with or exceed all building codes and standards, providing an additional degree of safety. Further, if no easily visible sign is available, patients searching for the building 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. Otherwise, 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.) I � � � , �. � Attachment 5. 9. Such varlance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substanilal properly right 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 patients, upon geiting discouraged about locating the building would give up the search and find another doctor. This would substantially injure the overall business. . . _ � .. (, � Attachment b. 10. The granting of such variance will not adversely affect ihe comprehensive general plan, by reason of ihe following: The comprehensive general plan calls for orderly growth and aesthetically 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 granting of this variance will not cause any deviation from the intent of the generai pian 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 pian.
