Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to build two
(2), three- bedroom apartment units and three (3), two-car
garages at the rear of an existing single-family dwelling in
an R-2 (Two-family Residential) zone.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairperson Dove.
Fernando Quintana, 12512 Waldorf Drive, Lynwood stated that
he had read all the requirements as to landscaping and
grading, and he is agreeable to all conditions.
Mr. Mas referred to Item No. 17 on Resolution No. 2239. He
said that the depth of the garage would be 19 feet instead of
the 20jfeet required and the adjustment would be made with
the developer. The rear wall of the garage would be moved to
the property line. There was a brief discussion regarding the
garage l�ocation and size and green areas. Commissioner Pryor
questioned whether this would be okay with the Fire
Department. Commissioner Aaynes asked if anything was going
to be done to the existing house. Mr. Barfield said that to
his knowledge no modifications were required at this time.
There was a brief discussion on the boundary lines and
distances. Mr. Mas stated that the rear boundary line is the
borderline with the City of Compton.
There was a brief discussion on enhancement of the front
house. Commissioner pove suggested .that the case be
considered with the provision to include some facade
treatment on the front house.
Commissioner Haynes asked about the trash enclosure--where it
was going to be located and what it would be constructed of.
They were told it would be located between the rear wall and
the new unit and would be constructed of masonry.
Mr Barnes suggested that with respect to Item No.17 on
Resolution No. 2239, that a 17(a) be added to further clarify
as follows:

Mr. Barnes also sugguested that a final condition, No.33, be
added as follows for the purpose of ensuring that the facade
of the front house,�is restuccoed and a three-foot decorative
facing installed to a height of three feet or window level.
33. The facade of the front existing house is to be improved
with an additional surface treatment to window level to
the satisfaction of staff to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission if necessary.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of or
opposition to C.U.P. No. 88082, Chairperson declared the
Public Hearing closed.

3. Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 88084

Applicant is requesting a Conditonal Use Permit to build two
(2) three-bedroom apartment units and three (3) two-car gar-
ages at the rear of an existinq single-family dwelling in the
R-2 (two-family Residential) zone.
Staff recommended that since this development is very similar
to the one just adopted that include amending Item No. 17 in
the resolution to allow a setback of the garage to develop
more green area space and add Item No. 35 to insure that the
facade of the existing building is aesthetically pleasing.
Also the resolution should be corrected'to read approved and
adopted this 8th day of November, 1988, instead of llth day

conditions and was agreeable to the amendments as outlined.

Con�issioner Willis said that there was quite a contrast
between the two pieces of property. He said that the property
at 12517 has gross unsanitary conditions. There is trash,
debris, dry grass;''which is a fire hazard, plus you have a
rat problem. If Mr. Quintana can't maintain what he has in a
sanitary condition, how is he going to maintain these
multiple units?
Applicant Quintana responded that he had just purchased the
property a couple of months ago. The unit is not occupied at
this time and he had not had an opportunity to take care of
the problem.
• Mr. Barnes said that this could be made a condition of the
Conditional Use Permit that the property be kept in a
sanitary condition pending construction.
Mr Mas said that Code Enforcement is spending a great deal of
- time in trying to keep these properties clean, and if the
applicant fails to keep the property clean then that would
result in a revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr Quintana said that it was his intention to clean up the
property.
Commissioner Haynes said that he is also concerned about the
buildings at 12512 and 12517 being the same. He would like to
see a little modification in the £ront building since it is
in such a disastrous shape.
Applicant Quintana said that each building will definitely
have different decor with rocks on the front.
Chairperson Dove suggested that something similar to what we I �
did in the previous case be addressed so that the whole issue �
of maintenance not only for residential property during
construction or development but for granted Conditional Use
Permits, and conditions continue to deteriorate. He proposed
that this be put on the agenda for next month, and that it be
a condition for this Case 88084 also.
Mr Barnes suggested language for Item No. 36 to be added to
Resolution No. 2240 that the existing property shall be
cleaned and maintained in a sanitary condition pending
construction.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of or
opposition to C.U.P. No.88084, Chairperson Dove declared the
Public Hearing closed.
MOTION made by Commissioner Pryor, SECONDED by Commissioner
Haynes to approve Resolution No. 2240, approving Conditional
Use Permit No. 88084 for the construction of two three-
bedroom apartment units and three two-car garage at 12517
Waldorf Drive, Lynwood, California, in th R-2 (Two-family
Residential) zone with additional • conditions 17(a),
recommended setback of the garages, 35, window and height
facade attend to by staff and applicant, and 36, list the
condition that property be maintained during and
before construction and that it meet the State CEQA
guidelines and is categorically exempt. MOTION CARRIED BY THE

4. Gen eral Plan Amendment - Case No. 88087
Portions of the 4300 block on the northside of Carlin Avenue
(Reverend Paul Hackett and the City of Lynwood)
Mr. Fenderson said that this is a joint application between
Rev. Paul Hackett and the City of Lynwood for a General Plan
Amendment for portions of the 4300 block of the north side of
Carlin Avenue. The request is to redesignate the area from
Town House and Cluster housing to Multi-Family development to
correct an existing inconsistency and to reflect current
development trends, the inconsistency must be changed.
Mr. Fenderson made a presentation using maps to show the
surrounding land use. He said that a correction should be
made to the staff report as noted on the Case No. 88087
- document under Surrounding Land Uses: North, Single-Family,
South Single-Family and Apartments, East, Srai2er Park, and
to the}West, Single-Family and Apartments.
Sta,ff believes that changinq this area to Multi-family would
be consistent with the other areas. The major problem being
that on one single property we have two different General
Plan designations. Under a Multi-family designation it would
yield 17 units.
r
A brief discussion followed on making the designation Town-
house Cluster Housing. Chairperson Dove said he would like to
preserve the option to encourage more cluster-type dwellings.
A brief discussion on density followed. There was some con-
cern about the yield of 17 units.
Commissioner Willis asked if the Commission could go ahead
and make the General Plan and the zoning compatible but still
have the leeway of controlling the number of units. Mr. I
, Fenderson confirmed that this was correct. ',
Commissioner Haynes asked if we wouldn't be accomplishing the �
same purpose if we change it from Multi-family dwelling and '
reversed it and made it into Town-house Cluster. Mr.Fenderson !
said "no" because it would require a Zone Change. There was a
brief discussion on the zoning classification.
Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing.
Applicant Rev. Paul Hackett, 12209 Paris Avenue, Lynwwod,
spoke in favor of the adjustment because he felt that
limiting a piece of property almost ary acre in size to a
single unit or duplex would almost negate the value of the
property totally. He said that he had never questioned the
right of Sam Menlow to run a business, he only questioned the
type of business he was running.
Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked how many units R-2 would yield
and staff reported that it would yield 13 units. There was a
brief discussion on this.
DISK 41:MIN51108
J
i
�
Mr Ken Randolph, broker representing Rev. Paul Hackett, spoke
on behalf of the Reverend and said that the main thing to
consider is the bes�t use of the property and the value of the
property. He said that the value of vacant property in the
City of Lynwood is going for $8.50 to $10.50 per square foot.
He said it is unfeasible to propose to build 10 or 13 units.
There was a brief discussion on aesthetics and property
values and also poor management of units once constructed.
Speaking in opposition of General Plan Amendment No. 88087,
Mr. Robert Fry, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, said that he
was concerned about the number of apartments being built im
the City. He said that a separate parcel in question was not
landlocked--it has a 50-foot exit onto Atlantic. He said that
he was concerned with properties designated as R-1, R-2, and
R-3 zones being turned into multi-unit properties.
There was a brief discussion on the growth of the City as it
applied to the school district.
Mr. Mas said that the property Mr. Frye referred to is land-
locked and that the piece of land that connected the subject
property with Atlantic was sold separately. He said the
school district is a separate local unit of government, and
they have a responsibility, as well as the City has, to plan
the development of the City. The school district has taken
steps to deal with the influx of citizenry into the system.
Commissioner Willis said that we have approximately 54,000
people in the City of Lynwood and we do not have adequate
fire and police protection, and to overproliferate the area
with more units, we really have a problem. He said "more
gYOwth"--"more problem." He said we'll over-grow ourselves
out of existence. We have a problem right now where we can't
economically maintain what we have. Right now we cannot
cover our City with adequate fire and police protection.
Chairper'son Dove said that added units are supposed to
produce, additional taxes and the added population should
provide'more sales tax revenues.
There followed a brief discussion on over-growth and over-
population and new sources of tax revenues and the fact that
many people were living in converted garages, etc. Mr.
_ Fenderson said that the City of Lyriwood had a vacancy rate
below 40.
Commissioner Haynes said that he saw no reason why this
particular area should be changed to Multi-Family. He said
that he would not vote on this issue because he lives in the
area.
Commissioner Cole-Dennis asked if they were talking about 13
or 17 units to be built on the subject property. Mr.
Fenderson said that a multi-family General Plan designation
would yield 17 units. He said that staff would like to
stress again that the number of units on the property would
be controlled by the Commission.
Mr. Barnes said that the Commission should not underestimate
the decision they were making tonight but what we are trying
to do is fix the range of density for the area.
DISK 41:MINS1108
,
Commissioner Pryor said that Carlin was one of the best areas
for multi-family dwellings because of the width of the
street.
.�
MOTION by Commissioner Penalber, SECONDED by Commissioner
Cole-Dennis to recommend approval of the General Plan
Amendment by adopting Resolution No. 2249 recommending with
findings that the City Council amend the Land Use Element of

certain� portions of the north side of the 3200 block of
Flower rStreet and certain portions of the south side of
Fernwoo3 Avenue. The proposal is to redesignate the area
from Single-Family to Townhouse and Cluster Housing, and to
change the zone from R-3 to an R-2 classification, thus
bringing both the Zoning Map and the General Plan Map into
comformity and reflecting current development trends.
Mr. Fenderson said that Planning staff.has discovered permit
applications that have an inconsistent designation between
_ the Zoning Map and the General Plan Map. He said right now
there are four applications on hold and this inconsistency
must be corrected before any development permits can be
approved.
Chairperson Dove asked if the zoning is changed if applicants
wishing to build have to come before the Commission, Mr.
Fenderson said that if the existing zone is changed from R-3
to R-2 it would require a Conditional Use Permit which would
come before the Planning Commission for approval.

Chairperson Dove declared the Public Hearing on Case No.
88094 open.
,
Mr. Edward Rafael,�`3200 Flower Street, Lynwood, said that he
was one of the affected owners. He said his property is
current'ly zoned as R-3 and he wants to build four (4) town
home units, styled as single-family, two-story dwellings. If
the zoning is down-graded to R-2, he would lose one of his
units, and he asked for a one-time only exemption.
Mr. Barnes said that the above application is not before the
Commission tonight and has not been agendized and therefore
cannot be considered under the Brown Act. He said that he
did not believe there was a one-time only exemption. Mr.
Rafael would have to seek a variance.
Mr. Alexis Galindo, 6812 Pacific Avenue, Huntington Park,
spoke in favor of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change.
He said that he owns three properties in the area and is
proposing three different buildings which will include a
th.ree-bedroom, two-bath unit in front and two, two-bedroom
units in the back. He said that he was caught in the middle
and to reiterate that he is in favor of the resolution.
Mr. Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, spoke in
opposition to the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. He
said the width of Flower Street is too narrow and the
Commission should be taking this into consideration. ,
There being no one else to speak in favor of or in opposition
to General Plan Amenment and Zone Change, Case No. 88094,
Chairperson Dove declared the Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Haynes said that he felt downgrading the
properties from R-3 to R-2 is coinciding with Mr. Fry's
request.
MOTION made by Commissioner Penalber, SECONDED by
Conunissioner Cole-Dennis to approve the staff recommendation
and adopt Resolution No. 2248 and Resolution No. 2250.

Commissioner Cole-Dennis said she would like a copy of the sign
ordinance because things are going to come up again.
Mr. Mas said that any complaints by residents regarding code
violations should be reported to the Code Enforcement staff.
Chairperson Dove said that he had received something in the mail
from Prevention Research Center and also something to do with
the Mello-Roos Act, which allows the creation of community
service districts.
Commissioner Haynes asked if they were going to have on the
December agenda something about the clean up and maintenance of
properties during Conditional Use Permits. He feels that
applicants should be denied filing for a permit for a year if
they don't clean up their property.
Commissioner Pryor said that about three years ago a Conditional
Use Permit was granted to Reverend Henderson for a pre-school on
Atlantic Avenue and we were told how beautiful he was going to
make it. Mr. Mas said that the Conditional Use Permit is about
to expire and he will have to apply again. Commissioner Pryor
said it was turning in to a beautiful junkyard. He hasn't
painted it and there are about 13 used cars on the lot.
Commissioner Cole-Dennis said that she is not getting her mail in
a timely manner and she would like to know what is the best way
to get the mail received by the City for the Commission members.
Mr. Mas said the Planning Division would have the mail and it
could be picked up between eight and five.

Mr. Frye spoke at length on a variety of subjects concerning the
City and its development.

SUBJECT: Application for Variance - Case No. 88089
Applicants: World Savings and Loan Association
and McDonalds Corporation
Proposal•
The applicants are requesting a Variance in order to construct a
common pole sign for their establishments at 11170 Long Beach
Boulevard, and 3326 Imperial Highway, Lynwood. The proposed site
which is in escrow and to be sold to McDonalds Corporation is
currently graded for the construction of a McDonald's Restaurant.
Facts
1. Source of Authority
Section;25-26.1 of the Lynwood Zoning Ordinance requires that
a Variance be approved to allow development permits which do

The subject property is located on the southeast corner of
Long Beach Boulevard and Imperial Highway (see attached
Location Map).

, ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
1. Environmental Assessment
— ..,.
The Cominunity Development Department has determined that the
project� could not have a significant effect on the
environment, and a Negative Declaration has been prepared, in
accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended
(Seation 15073).
2. Determination of Appropriate Findings
Staff analysis of the proposed common pole sign includes the
following: (A) on-premise and off-premise requirements (B)
findings of a Variance as required by California State
Planning Law.
The proposed common pole sign is considered both an off-
premise and on-premise sign. It is an off-premise sign
because World Savings is not located on the subject property
and is proposing to advertise its business. It is an on-
premise sign because McDonald's is advertising and is located
on the subject property.
The City's Zoning Ordinance only allows common pole signs if
businesses share a common parking lot or facility. A
property may have an on-premise pole sign and a off-premise
sign if the property has an excess of 300 linear feet of
street frontage. The subject property does not meet street
frontage requirements.
California State Planning Law allows localities to grant
certain development permits that are not consistent with the
City's development standards, when because of special
circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the City's Zoning Ordinance deprives the
property owner of privileges enjoyed by other property in the
vicinity and under identical zoning classifications.
The Lynwood Zoning Ordinance requires that the Planning
' Commission approve Variances based on six basic findings and
, two additional findings for signage (see attached sheet).
After research involving this application, staff believes
that the request for Variance approval for the common pole
sign at the subject property does not meet the required
findings and should not be granted.
The proposed Variance request was published in the Lynwood
Press on November 23rd, 1988, and public hearing notices were
mailed ;to the surrounding property owners on December 1,
1988. However, as of the date of preparation of this report,
staff had not received any response.
Recommendation
c
Staff respectfully requests, that, after consideration, the
Planning Commission deny the request for Variance and adopt the
attached Resolution No. 2242:
1. Finding that the proposed Variance, Case No. 88089, will not
have a significant effect on the environment.
2. That the requested Variance does not meet the required
findinqs of the 2oning Ordinance.
DISK 41:88089VA
3. That there are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions applicable to the property involved which do
not apply generally�to other properties in the same vicinity
or zone.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
The Planning Commi'�sSion may qrant a variance only if, on the
basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the
Commission makes findings of fact that establish that the

a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of

circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved
which do not apply generally to other properties in the same
zone.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of

detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
f. That the granting of the variance will not adversely
affect the orderly development of the City (Ordinance No. 1107).
;
25-26.�8 Signs: Additional Findings
The Planning Commission may grant a variance to a regulation
prescribed by this chapter with respect to signs as the variance
was applied for or in modified form, if, on the basis of the
application' and the evidence submitted, the Commission makes
findings of!fact that establish that the circumstances prescribed
in subsection 25-26.7 apply and the following circumstances also
aPP

8: Zonina Enforcement Historv
None of;record.
9. Public Resoonse
Staff has not received any comments with respect to this
project.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning
classification (R-2) and the General Plan designation (Townhouse
and Cluster Housing). The predominant land uses in the area are
medium density residential. Therefore, granting of Conditional
Use Permit No. 88091 will not be inconsistent with the General
Plan.
2. Site Suitability
The subject property is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed development relative to the proposed
density, bulk of the structures, parking, walls, fences,
landscaping, driveways and other development features required
by the Zoning Ordinance. Further, the subject property. is
adequately served with the required puhlic utilities and offers
adequate vehicular and pedestrian accessibility.
Virginia Avenue is forty (40') feet wide; and given its status
as a local street, it is sufficient for carrying the required
traffic volume that would be generated by the proposed use.
3. Compliance with Develooment Standards
The proposed development meets all the standards required by the
Zoning Ordinance regarding off-street parking; front, side, and
rear yard setbacks; distance between structures; lot
DISK 39:88091CUP
s
i
� '
� �
coverage, building height; unit size and landscaping. The
code requires a minimum of 25% open space landscaping; the
proposed development provides approximately 360. The
development standa�s are adequate to protect the adjacent
residential uses.
4. Conditions of Approval
The improvements as proposed, subject to the conditions
recommended 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,
convenience or welfare.
5. Benefits to Community
� The proposed development will aid in aesthetically upgrading the
neighborhood and will act as a catalyst in fostering other
quality developments in the area. Furthermore, the development
will add favorably to the City's housing stock and will provide
additional affordably-priced housing in furtherance of the
policies of the Housing Element of the General Plan.
6. Environmental Assessment
Staff has found that no substantial environmental impact will
result from the project; therefore, a Negative Declaration has
been prepared, and is on file in the Office of the City Clerk
and the'Community Development Department.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2246:
1. Finding that the proposed Conditional Use Permit, Case No.
88091, will not have a significant effect on the environment.
2. Approving Conditional Use Permit, Case No. 88071 subject to the
stated conditions and requirements.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSTON
i
FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Zone Chanae - Case No. 88098
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Proposal:
The City of Lynwood is proposinq to prepare a zone change for the
11000 and 12000 blocks of Wilson Avenue.
The proposal is to change the zone from R-3 to an R-2
classification, thus bringing both the Zoning Map and the General
Plan Map into conformity and reflecting current development trends.
Background•
In recent months, the Planning staff has discovered a number of
permit applications that have an inconsistent designation between
the Zoning Map and General Plan Map. California State Planninq Law
prohibits development in areas where the zoning classification is
inconsistent with the General Plan. Therefore, before approving
any development permits, the inconsistency must be corrected.
There is one application on hold in the Planning Division located
in this area, which cannot be processed because of the
inconsistency issue.
Discussion
The subject area is surrounded by the following Zoning
classifications, General Plan designations and land uses:
Surrounding
Zoning General Plan Land Uses
North - R-3 Cluster Housing Single-Family/
Mixed Residential
South - R-1 Single-Family Sinqle-Family/
Mixed Residential
East - R-3 Cluster Housing Single-Family/
Mixed Residential
West - R-2/.R-3 Cluster Housing Single-Family/
Mixed Residential
Staff has surveyed the subject area and h�s observed the existence
of a development trend ranging from single-family, to duplexes and
multi-family apartment units. As there is a mixture of land uses
" in the subject area and surrounding areas, and the I-105 Freeway
will be constructed to the north, with commercial to the west, and
additional residential intensity at the level of an R-3 zoning
classification cannot be carried by the existing infra-structure,
staff recommends down zoning the zoning classification from R-3
(Multi-Family Residential) to R-2 (Two-Family Residential) to
reflect the General Plan designation of Townhouse and Cluster
Housing for the area.

'a.
� After an initial environmental assessment, it has been determined
that there will not be an ehvironmental impact on the area, and the
proposed zone change has been given a Negative Declaration pursuant
to requirements of the.Sta�e CEQA Guidelines, as amended.
The proposed zone chang� was published in the Lynwood Press on
November 23rd, 1988, and pt�blic hearing noticies were mailed to the
property owners involved �n the proposed reclassification as well
as property owners surrounding the subject area.
RECOMMENDATION
' Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2252:
1. Finding that the proposed zone change, Case No. 88098, will not
have a significant effeat on the environment, and certify the
Neyative Declaration as adequate (Resolution No. 2252).
2. Recommend adoption of the zone change for Case No. 88098 to the
City Council.

FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
; Community Developement Department
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment - Case No. 88099
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Proposal• ,
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment for the 3600 and
3700 blocks of Platt Avenue. Basically, this request is meant to
redesiqnate the area from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to
Townhouse and Cluster Housing (R-2) in order to correct an
existing inconsistency between the General Plan designation and
Zoning Map classifioation as a reflection of current planning
development trends.
Backqround:
In recent months, the Planning Division staff has discovered a
number of permit applications that have inconsistencies between
the Zoning Map and General Plan Map. Since California State
Planning Law prohibits development in areas where the Zoning
classification is inconsistent with the General Plan designation,
it is imperative that before approving any development permits,
the inconsistency must first be corrected.
Discussion
For the area under review, the Zoning classification is R-2 (Two-
Family Residential) while the General Plan designation is Single-
Family Residential. As a result of this inconsistency, the City
staff would like to redesignate the General Plan Map to Townhouse
and Cluster Housing in order to �establish compatability and
consistency between the General Plan Map and 2oning Map.
Many reasons could be propounded in support of this General Plan
Amendment. The most important is that in observance of a sound
planning practice for residential developments, the General Plan
designation for the area in question should range from Single-
, Family Residential to Touwnhouse and Cluster Housing then to
Multi-Family Residential. Staff has surveyed the subject area
and observed that although it is designated for Sinqle-Family
Residential, actual land uses are a mixture of single-family
homes and duplex developments. Further, the existing
infrastructure is sufficient to accomodate the limited additional
, development that might occur due to the proposed General Plan
Amendment.
The subject area is surrounded by the following zoning
' classifications, General Plan designations and land uses:
General Surrounding
: Zoninq Plan Land Uses
North - R-2 Single-Family Single-Family/School
South - R-2 Single-Family Single-Family
East - R-2/R-1 Single-Family Single-Family
West - R-3. Single-Family/ Single-Family/
Multi-Family Multi-Family

� Staff finds no negative outcome on the proposed redesignation as
there is consistency and compatability between the General Plan
designation and Zon'�ng classification among the surrounding
properties. In light of the above, an initial environmental
assessment has been conducted and it has been determined that
there will not be an environmental impact on the area.
�, Therefore, the amendment has been given a Negative Declaration
pursuant to the requirements of the State CEQA Guidelines, as
amended.
The proposed amendment was published in the Lynwood Press on
November 23rd, 1988, and Public Hearing Notices were accordingly
mailed to the property owners involved in the proposed
redesignation as well as property owners surrounding the subject
areas..
Recommendation:
�` Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2249:
1. Finding that the proposed General Plan Amendment 88-3, Case
No. 88099, will not have a significant effect on the
environment and certify the Negative Declaration as adequate.
2. Recommend adoption of the General Plan Amendment No. 88-3,
Case No. 88099 to the City Council.
