• Assessar Parcel Number 6192-023-024 and 025 �
Chair pove announced new public hearing agenda item #9 and requested the
staff report. `
Director of Development. Services Taylor set up a General Plan Map,
Rendering and Project Board then presented the staff report stating the
applicant is requesting approval to construct eight (8) detached residences,
two-stories in height with attached two-car garages. The existing dupiex and
detached garages would be demolished. The subject properiy is irregular in
shape and totals 38,582 square feet in area and is located at 4237 — 4241
Imperial Highway in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zone. The project
. requires three (3) applications and environmental review as follows:
•' Zone Change Na 2004-03: Change the zoning from R-1 (Single-
Family Residential) to PRD (Planned Residential Development); and
• Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-27: Construct eight (8) detached
single-family residences;.and
• Tentative Tract Map No. 2004-03 (60592): Subdivide one (1) parcel
and a portion of the adjacent parcel into eight (8) lots; and
• Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study: Identify potentially �
significant impacts and implement mitigation measures to reduce
� � impacts to a level of insignificance.
Director of Development Services Taylor stated a similar project on the
.. same property' by the same developer had been reviewed and denied by the
Planning Commission in December of 2003 and denied by the City Council
on January 20; 2004. The City Council determined that the project should
not exceed seven residences and such residences should be one-story in
height, arid no variances.
Mr. Taylor stated the revised project has reduced the .number of units,
s increased lot sizes and increased setback areas. The Lynwood Municipal
- � � Code requires that like or �imilar projects cannot be re-evaluated until one
. (1) year has passed. Mr. Taylor stated he made a judgment decision that the
� revised project is significantly different in that:
1) The density has been rPduce 11 %(nine units to eight units); and
2) The lot size has been increased 30% (2,400 square feet to 3,500
. square feet); and
` 3) The setbacks adjacent to Pine Avenue have been increased nearly
� 300% (from five feet to nineteen feet). �� � �
Director of Development Services Taylor stated that the General Plan
designates the property as Multi-Family Residential that is consistent wiYh
the PRD (Planned Residential . Development) zone change proposal.
However, the existing zoning is R-1 (Single-Family Residential). The
General Plan and zoning designations must be consistent to approve a
. discretionary application pursuant to State Law and whenever an
inconsistency is present the General Plan supercedes.
,• Director of Development Services Taylor summarized the Tentative Tract
Map that is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and Lynwood
Municipal Code (LMC).
Mr. Taylor summarized the Conditional Use Permit Findings and that the
four required findings in LMC Section 25-25.7 can be made. Mr. Taylor
summarized the environmental review and that potentially significant
impacts may occur pertaining to geology, water, transportation/circulation,
noise and aesthetics. Conditions of approval and mitigation measures set
forth in Resolution 3032 would reduce potentially significant impacts to a
level of insignificance.
Director of Development Services Taylor summarized areas of concern
pertaining to privacy, the zone change, property taxes, property values,
traffic, parking, emergency vehicle access, traffic signal, building covenant,
and density. Staff recommended approval.
Chair pove opened the public hearing.

in support.
Ken West, 10981 Pine Avenue spoke in opposition. Mr. West stated both
the Planning Commission and City Council had previously denied the
project, the residences are two-stories invading neighbor privacy, traffic on
. Jackson and Pine would increase, vehicles traveling eastbound on Imperial
would have to make a U-tum; and the revised project is inconsistent with the
City Council determination on January 20, 2004. .
� Ronald Fobbs, 4228 Pendleton A.venue, Lynwood spoke in opposition, �
Patricia Carr, 3842 Le Sage Avenue spoke in opposition. Ms. Carr stated
�� that Mr. Taylor did not include the City Council determination in the staff �
report. Ms. Carr alsa stated the LMC does not allow a project to be revised

or deny a project. Mr. Taylor stated his personal opinion is to deny this

with the General Plan, satisfies development standards, and no variances are
� necessary.
Chair pove spoke about R-1 zone developrnent, other projects and
relocating the rear windows on the second stories to increase privacy.
Commissioner Abarca supports fhe project but is sensitive to the neighbors
concerns. He has to weigh improving the City and applicable codes and
cannot consider what the City Council previously said as the project has
been revised.

and made a motion to deny.
` Commissioner Gomez seconded the motion to deny.

accommodate a maximum of two (2) residences.
, The site-plan indicates a 25'-3" front yard setback with access provided by a iQfoot
� driveway on the south property line. Landscaping exceeds the minimum twenty-five '
� percent (25%) standard. The duplex would be constructed on the front portion of the
lot with a stair welf on the inside of the structure.

The floor plan for both residences in the duplex indicates the residences will provide
1,225 square feet of livable area consisting of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen,
dining and living room. The garages are detached and total 400 square feet each.
The elevations indicate the two-story structure that totais 28' in height to the roof point

€lements. .
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the
objectives of this cha'pter and the purpose of the zone in which the site
