TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Grant Taylor, Special Assistant/Development Services
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-01
Mixed Use Commercial/Residential !
BACKGROUND �
i
On December 16, 2003 the Lynwood Ciry Council reviewed a design concept proposa! for �
a mixed use development project with commercial uses on the ground floor and
residential apartments on the second floor. The developer modeled the project after the
mixed use development in the City of South Gate on a smaller scale.
The City Council granted design approval and directed staff to proceed with amending the j
Lynwood Municipal Code and processing zoning entitlements. The Lynwood Municipal i
Code currently does not permit mixed use commercial/residential anywhere in the Ciry,
however, the General Plan encourages mixed use projects. �
DISCUSSION i
A number of area cities including South Gate, Long Beach, Pasadena and Paramount are I
pursuing mixed use projects to convert blighted and/or under performing commercial strip �
malls into dynamic commercial and residential centers. ;
i
Vacant land is in short supply and the majoriry of cities built out. With housing in short i
supply, cities are building up, not out, and combining commercial and residential projects. '
The attached draft ordinance sets forth the process, design and development standards to '
ensure mixed use projects are aesthetically attractive, mitigate potential impacts on !
surrounding properties, is a beneft to the City, and allows public input. �
Staff proposes to allow mixed use commercial/residential developments in commercial �
zones to include CB-1 (Controlled Business), G2 (Light Commercial) GZA (Medium
Commercial), C-3 (Heavy Commercial) and PCD (Planned Commercial Development). A �
conditional use permit would be required. Mixed use projects would not be permitted in i
H-M-D (Hospital-Medical-Dental) M(Manufacturing), PF (Public Facility) or any residential �
zones.
H:\\l'ORDFILE�PLANNMGST.4FFRPT•.zoa.?00�-Ol.miceduse doc 1 I
i
II
The mixed use ordinance proposes to permit commercial development on the first floor
and residential development on upper stories above the ground floor. Residential density
and development standards would be the same as in the R-3 (Multiple-Family Residentiai)
zones. Commercial uses would be the same as those permitted in the C-2 (Light
Commercial) zone.
Residential parking would be located at the rear of mixed use projects and screened from
public view. Parking for the ground Floor commercial uses would be located at the front
and side of mixed use projects to be easily accessible for the public.
Mixed use commercial/residential developments would provide landscaped setbacks,
adequate parking facilities, design review, sample materials and color boards, and other
applicable development standards. Following is a brief summary of Zoning Ordinance
Amendment No. 2004-01 that would add Section 25-37 to the Lynwood Municipal Code.

_Mandatory Findings of Significance
Determination:
(To be completed by the Lead Agency.)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. _
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on
an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X
I find that the proposed project MAY have a signifcant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I fnd that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but at'least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as
, described on attached sheets, if the effect is a"potentially significant impact" or "potentially
,- significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, bu[ it must
. analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. . _
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
� there WILL NOT be a signifcant effect in this case because ali potentially significant effects
(a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and
(b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, induding revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. _

XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SI6NIFICANCE.
a) Does Ne project have the poten[ial to degrade _ �
the quality of the environment, substantially — —
reduce the habitat of a fsh or wildlife species,
- cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, reduce the number or restric[ .
the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the major
� periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does [he project have the po[en[iai [o achieve _ �
short-term, to [he disadvantage of �ong-term, — —
environmental goals?
DISCUSSION: The State of Califomia has determined there is a housing shortage crisis tha[ must be remedied. Mixed �
projects will remove obsolete and bligi�[ed mmmercial uses and provide dynamic commercial/residential projecLS [hat �
offer much needed housing opportunities.
c) Does the project have impacLS that are XX
individually limited, but cumulatively mnsiderable? —
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the �
incremental effectr of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with [he effects of past .
project5, the effects of other current projectr, ,
and the effects of probable future projecLS.) I
DISCUSSION: The City must provide needed housing and still implement development standards to proteR the puti
health, safery and general welfare. In addition, sales taz revenue would not be los[ due to the commerclal uses. �
d) Does the project have environmental effectr _ � ,'
which will cause substantial adverse affects — �
on human beings, either directty or indirecYly? I
�
DISNSSION: The City of Lynwood has carefully considered possible impacLS and reviewed development standards ai
mitigation measures to protect neighboring properties. It is unknown at this time how many properties will purs�
development of mized use projects. The City must implement development standards and mntinue to pursue upgrade
pubfic facilities and infrashuRUre.

HEADLINE: The mall comes home;
With land at a premium,.developers are transforming old, underperforming strip malls into
attractive complexes that blend residential and commercial use. I

Sound like a tony residence on the Champs Elysees in Paris? A high-rise on New York City's i
Upper East Side? Actually, it's a fashionable, 120-unit apartment complex in Pasadena atop �
a commercial center, on a corner that a year ago housed a bank and parking. Same lot size,
redically different use. ;
Around the Southland, in areas both evorn down and wealthy, one-story retail strip malls that ,
have seen better days are undergoing a transformation into attractive complexes that house �
retail and commercial businesses at street level with apartments and condominiums on top. !
City officials, builders and architects -- once disinterested in mixed-use projects -- are eager I
to convert underperforming nail salons, liquor stores and frozen-yogurt shops, which often i
occupy prime real estate, into dynamic commercial and residential centers. �
The reason is simple: Los Angeles and Orange counties are running out of vacant land. The �
urban core of Los Angeles already is built out, and parts of Orange County will be as soon as i
2010, said Jack Kyser, chief economist of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp.
At the same time the land is being gobbled up, the region will gain 1.2 million new residents. i
With housing already in short supply, many city planners and government officials now
embrace building up, not out, combining commerce and living sp'aces. �
"All cities should look at this trend," said Steven Plenge, executive vice president of Somera
Capital Management, a real estate investment company in Santa Barbara. "It's a great way I
to combat the eyesores of dilapidated centers, it's a good catalyst to revitalize areas and it's �

a smart use of land." .
City planners in Beverly Hills agree, as do those in Los Angeles, Anaheim, Santa Ana and
Long Beach. Huntington Beach is definitely on board. A former 2-acre strip mall on the city's
Main Street, which housed about 12,000 square feet of restaurants and shops, today features
37,000 square feet of retail and offices, 275 parking spaces and 42 one- and two-story
residential units. The newly dubbed Plaza Almeria, which was completed in 2000, won the
2002 California Redevelopment Agency Award of Excellence in the mixed-use category.
The early success of these projects has architects and builders, many of whom used to
concentrate solely on residential projects, enthusiastically pursuing the trend.
Van Tilburg, Banvard & Soderbergh of Santa Monica, designer of the Pasadena complex,
already has completed dozens of mixed-use projects and has 50 in the pipeline. Among its
first was the late-1980s conversion of a dilapidated theater and hotel into a restau�ant with'
32 rental units on top at Broadway and 3rd Street in Santa Monica. Currently it's
redeveloping a strip of stores at Wilshire Boulevard and Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills into a
40,000-square-foot commercial center with 88 housing units aloft. :
Its Pasadena complex, at the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Oak Knoll Avenue, is
surrounded by retail and is close to Caltech and Pasadena City College and walking distance
to the Paseo Colorado shopping center. The units, which became available six weeks ago and
rent from �1,615 to $3,514, have built-in washers and dryers, walk-in closets and computer
niches. The building has a pool, spa, private terraces and a sports club.
To streamline the transformation of underused commercial strips into mixed-use projects,
the city of Los Angeles in 2003 passed the Residential and Accessory Services ordinance.
Under RAS, which allows an increase in density for mixed use, projects may be 100%
residential; if they include a commercial component, it must be on the grourid floor.
With RAS in place to speed the process, the city is targeting the narrow commercial strips
along Venice, Pico, Washington and Adams boulevards and Vermont Avenue, about 90% of
which are underused, for mixed-use redevelopment, said Jane Blumenfeld, principal city
planner for Los Angeles. The goal is to build 108 residential units to the acre.
"Strip malls have outlived their usefulness," said Randy Johnson, a consultant at the Planning
Center in Costa Mesa, a firm that advises local and county govemments. "We must look at ,
those pieces as small jewels that can be reattached for development."
There are plenty of "jewels" in the kingdom. About 700 strip malls are ready for reuse in
Orange County, Johnson said, and at least double that number in Los Angeles County.
On one mile of boulevard -- Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, for example -- builders can
produce about 4,000 units, architect Johannes Van Tilburg said. There is underutilized space
on 250 miles of major boulevards between West los Angeles and downtown that, if
redeveloped as mixed-use complexes, could add 1 million housing units, he added.
�"YOU look at these boulevards, at how dilapidated they are, with teeth missing, on Wilshire
Boulevard at the edge of Santa Monica and Los Angeles," Van Tilburg said. "An out-of-towner
wouldn't believe that's the high end of town."
In cities with high-housing density, such as Paris, there typically are 200 units to the acre, he
added. In Los Angeles, there are 12 to 14 units to the acre. "We're a one-story city. If we can
build just three to four stories over retail, we'd be in good shape."
The challenges for developers are manifold, however. Because mixed-use projects are still

� catching on in Southern California, lenders are unsure of their viability and reluctant to
finance them, said ]ohn 0'Brien of Brookfield Homes in Costa Mesa.
He added that because a complex indudes a combination of uses, residential and commercial
lenders don't always know where to draw the line, with"financing gymnastics° the result.
Rezoning often is necessary to address noise, traffic and parking issues. Cities such as
Chicago, New York and Philadelphia successfully adapted the mixed-use model a century
ago, but residents there have easy access to public transportation and are accustomed to
� walking to stores. Strip malls here typically occupy shallow plots of land, which can create
` insurmountable parking problems for a complex that will house both retaii stores and living .
units.
Subterranean parking lots cost about 535,000 per space, according to Hamid Shirvani,
provost and architecture professor at Chapman University in Orange. Those costs, tacked on
to the price of the residential units, can make them prohibitively expensive.
Developers therefore seek lots on boulevards with alleys in the back that can be converted to
parking spaces. Some developers settle for "shared parking" arrangements, in which retail
customers share the parking spaces with the condo or apartment residents, who vacate the
spaces during daytime hours.
Overcoming these obstades has left some builders, even those who now embrace mixed-
use projects, longing for the days when building a limited number of single-story units on
, larger plots of land was a viable option.
"We'd prefer just residential, but we acknowledge that we have to include retail as part of our
. business now," said Alan Boeker of Standard Pacific Homes, which is planning one such
project in Pasadena.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel said that educating neighbors living near retail
corridors about the benefits of mixed-use projects is a first step toward gaining acceptance. �
Aiso, cities must realize that the tax dollars retail outlets provide are greater when residents
are housed nearby. I
"This is the future," Greuel said. "I'm an eternal optimist; I think we can do it."
