CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
1. Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 88012
3532 Los Flores Blvd. (Herbert Thomas)
Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to build
four apartments at the subject address in the R-3 zone. The
matter was continued from the July 12, 1988, Planning
Commission meeting, after hearing testimony from the
applicant.
Mr. Harden Carter reminded the Commission that this item had
been continued so that the applicant could revise the site
plan, because the Commission considered Sanborn Avenue
substandard in width, more onsite parking was needed and the
five units requested was one more than the Commission felt
could be accommodated by the size of the site.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairperson Dove.
Mr. Herbert Thomas, 12156 Louise, Lynwood, stated his
acceptance of all conditions as set forth.
Chairperson Dove asked if anyone wished to speak for the
proposal, there was no one, so he asked if anyone wished to
speak against the proposal.
Mr. Charles E. Glenn, 3533 Carlin Avenue, rose to state that
he is neither for nor against the proposal, but wanted ',
Condition No. 27 to require hard-wire smoke detectors, rather '
than those that are just "stuck" on the ceiling. He stated
his preference for hard-wired smoke detectors because they
are permanent, and do not depend upon batteries. Chairperson
Dove stated that hard-wired detectors go out of commission
when, because of the fire, the power goes out. Chairperson
Dove further stated that because of this, both styles of
detectors have advantages and disadvantages.
Commissioner Haynes recalled a previous case where two '
children perished because hard'-wired detectors had been used. �
He stated that since batteries can go out, too, perhaps a �
combination of the two would be better.
Applicant Thomas responded that he will consider hard-wired
detectors and said he will investigate the matter and report
to the Commission at the September 13th meeting. Commissioner
Kanka agreed with Commissioner pove that a combination of the
two styles should be required.
MOTION made by Commissioner Kanka, SECONDED by Commissioner I
Penabler, to adopt Resolution No. 2181, "A RESOLUTION OF TAE I

Mr. Darrell Henry, 3968 68th Street, Sunnyslope, California,
stated he was not informed of this hearing, although he owns
property adjacent to the subject site. He is opposed to a
convenience market because the street is too narrow to
accommodate the traffic that would be attracted to the market.
Mr. Mas explained that people owning property within 300'
feet are notified about the first Public Hearing, after that,
those still interested are expected to call City Hall or
attend meetings. However, this will be a new proposal, so
those people will be notified again, Mr. Mas gave his card to
Mr. Henry so that Mr. Henry can call him personally regarding
the project.

Permit is the third part of a master plan over a ten-year period
to replace all St. Francis Hospital buildings. At the end of the
ten-year period, the City of Lynwood will have a new, completely
modern hospital facility.
Commissioner Kanka asked Mr. Walter if he had any objections to
the conditions and he stated that No. 6, of the Planning Division
requirements, should read, "There should be an averaqe required
front yard of no less than ten feet along the Century Boulevard
frontage," instead of, "There shall be a minimum required front
yard of no less than ten feet ...."
Mr. Mas stated this condition had been discussed with staff and
the landscaping plan has been approved with the word "average"
instead of the work "minimum."

5225 Beechwood Avenue (Roberto and Maria Gonzalez)
Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to demolish two
houses and build seven senior citizens' apartment units in front
of an existing single-family home. No density bonus requested.
Vice-Chairperson Penalber opened the Public Hearing and Maria
Gonzalez, 5225 Beechwood Avenue, Lynwood, rose to ask what a
density bonus is. Mr: Carter said staff did not discuss this
with the applicant at the counter. Mrs. Gonzalez then asked if
they could rent to handicapped people under sixty.
Both Ms. Tilford and Vice-Chairperson Penalber said that,
according to Lynwood City Code, senior citizen housing is
restricted to people sixty and over.
Mrs. Gonzalez then stated that brick walls of approximately five
feet are now surrounding the property and asked if it would be
necessary to demolish the brick wall to replace with six-foot
block wall fencing. Mr. Mas said staff would have to inspect the
existing brick wall to see if the construction will comply with
present regulations: if not, the wall would have to come down.
James Devore reminded Mrs. Gonzalez that her property is in the
flood zone area and proper drainage will be required. Mr. Mas
said if fill dirt is brought in, the existing wall will have to
be removed, and a retaining wall built. Mr. Devore said the fill
dirt might have to be four to five feet deep.
Mrs. Gonzalez asked if, in the event she and her husband decide
to move, one of the senior citizen apartments could be used by
the manager, who would probably be less than sixty. Mr. Mas
answered in the negative, addinq that the parking requirements
are reduced for senior citizen housing. Also, a covenant between
Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalez and the City of Lynwood must be executed
and recorded to insure the units will always be restricted for
senior citizen housing before a Certificate of Occupancy is
granted. •
Mrs. Gonzalez accepted all conditions. Mr. Mas read No. 31 aloud
to make sure she understood. Mr. Devore asked Mrs. Gonzalez to
bring her title documents to the Public Works Department.

Penalber closed the Public Hearing.

Square Church, 4301 Carlin Avenue, commented on the differences
between City of Lynwood Zoning Map and City of Lynwood General Plan,
and asked how long will it take to get the General Plan to agree with
the Zoning Map. He has been refused his request to amend the General
Plan and has now had to turn down three changes to sell the vacant
lot adjacent to the above church. The present potential buyers,
(over $400,000) want to build apartments, which would be acceptable
under the Zoning Map, but not acceptable under the General Plan Map,
which takes precedence over the zoning map.
Mr. Mas stated this is a massive problem which can't be dealt with in
two months, it will probably require a year.
Mr. Fenderson read from a statistical report he prepared which stated
that 42� of the residential properties are in conflict as to zoning.

medical tower with five floors. The proposed project is
visually and relationally compatible with the surrounding
developments and the central land use activities of the area.
5. Desiqn:
The exterior design of the commercial building is generally
plain and is not especially distinctive.

a negative effect on the values of the surrounding properties
or interfere with or endanger the public health, safety or
welfare.

The proposed development will aid to aesthetically upgrade
the neighborhood and will act as a catalyst to foster other
quality developments. Moreover, the development will add
favorably to the City's commercial stock in furtherance of
the policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
8. Environmental Assessment:

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
1. Consistencv with General Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning
designation (R-3) and consistent with the General Plan
designation (Multiple-Family Residential).
2, Site 5uitability
The property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
proposed development relative to density, structures,
parking, walls, fences, landscaping, driveways, and other
development features required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Wright Road is a major arterial; it is substandard in width.
Residents and visitors park on one side of the street, while,
others park on the industrial side of the street. Therefore,
an adequate number of on-site parking spaces is of primary
importance.
- 3. CompatibilitY �
The proposed development is surrounded by a mixture of low
and medium density residential developments to its north,
south and west sides; therefore, compatible with such uses.
However, the proposed development is on a site that fronts
industrial uses to its east.
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 su�rounding properties
or interfer with or endanger the public health, safety, or
� welfare.
DISK 32:88070CUP
5. Benefits to Community
The proposed development will add favorably to the City's
• housinq stock and will provide additionally affordably priced _
housing in furtherance of the policies of the Housing Element �
of the General Plan.
6. Environmental Assessment
Staff has found that the proposed use is categorically exempt
from requirements pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, as
amended. Additionally, it was found that no substantial
environmental impact will result from the project.
RECOMMENDATION -
Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2231:
Z..' Finding that the proposed development is categorically exempt
from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended.
- 2. Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 88070, subject to the
