Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tearing, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one
more efFects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Secti

b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which efFects from the above checklist were within t
scope of and adequafely analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to appiicabie legal standards, a
state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporate�
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or reFned from the earlier document a
the e�ent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA. .
WHEREAS, the Lynwood Planning Commission, pursuant to law, on August 9,
2011 conducted a public hearing; and
WHEREA5, the Lynwood Planning Commission, pursuant to law, on November

offered at the pu6lic hearings; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05 serves Public Convenience and Necessity; and
WHEREAS, on November 3, 2010 the Design Review Board and Parking and
Improvement District Board recommended approval of the project to construct a

WHEREAS, the Lynwood Planning Commission has determined that a C-2A
(Medium Commercial) zoning designation for the subject property would be consistent
with the Lynwood General Plan and would be an appropriate zone for the location and

with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and therefore
-1-
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood hereby finds and
determines as follows:
A. That the proposed Conditional Use is consistent with the General
Plan.
The General Plan Land Use Map designation is commercial and retail
establishments are permitted uses in all commercial zones. The proposed
project will not adversely affect the General Plan. Retail stores and
ancillary uses such as off-premise beer and wine licenses are conditionally
permitted uses within Commerical zones.
B. That the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses,
buildings, and structures have been considered, and that the use
will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The proposed Type 20 ABC license will not be detrimental to persons
residing or working in the area as a result of placing conditions of approval
on Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05. The sales of products at the retail
establishment are targeted toward families and business professionals not
typically associated with loitering or public intoxication, thus will not
impact surrounding businesses and residential neighborhoods. Also,
hours of operation and sales of alcoholic beverages have been limited to
specific hours.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size
and shape to accommodate the use and buildings proposed.
Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market is a major anchor tenant which is
suitable for the proposed use. The ApplicanYs request for a Type 20 ABC
license will not require additional parking spaces.
D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zoning district.
The ApplicanYs request for a Type 20 ABC license, complies with all
applicable standards of the G2A (Medium Commercial) zone. Section 25-
25-6(B) of the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) states that the zoning
districts in which on-site and off-site sales of alcoholic beverages are
permitted are shown in Appendix A, Uses by Zoning Districts. According to
� Appendix A, the off-site sale of alcoholic beverages within a supermarket
or drugstore is a conditionally permitted use in the G2A (Medium
Commercial) zone.
E. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent
of this zoning code.
The off-premise sale of beer and wine within the proposed Fresh and Easy
Neighborhood Market is an ancillary use to a permitted retail and service
z
establishment. The conditional use observes the spirit of Policy LU-2.1 of
the City's General Plan, in which the ApplicanYs request for a Type 20 ABC
license serves the general rnerchandising and retail needs of the residents
of Lynwood.
Section 2. Section 25-25-6(D) requires additional findings to be made in order
to approve a Conditional Use Permit application for alcoholic beverage outlets.

Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
3950 Paramount Boulevard Suite no. 250
Lakewood, CA 90712
Subject: Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-03, Letter of Public
Convenience and Necessity for Fresh and Easy
Neighborhood Market store located at Northwest corner of
Long Beach Boulevard and Pluma Street.
Dear Sir or Madam,
This letter is written in reference to an application by Fresh & Easy Neighborhood
Market for a Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage Control license at the Northwest corner
of Long Beach Boulevard and Pluma Street. The State of California Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is charged with the responsibility to review
and issue' licenses for the sale and/or manufacture of alcoholic beverages. State
law provides that ABC shali deny an application for a license if the issuance of
, that license would either create a law enforcement problem, or result in or add
to an undue concentration of licenses, unless a determination is made that public
convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of that license. (Bus.
& Prof. Code § 23958.) However, ABC shall issue a license if a local governing
body, or its designated subordinate body or officer, determines that public
conyenience or necessity will be served by the issuance of a license for alcoholic
beverage sales and issues a letter affirming such determination. (Bus. & Prof.
Code § 23958.4.)
Pursuant to section 23958.4 of the California Business and Professional Code, the
City of Lynwood must issue a letter of Public Convenience and Necessity along
with its approval of the application, since the proposed business, located in
Census Tract No. 5403 is within an area that has greater number of reported
1
crimes. According to the State's ABC department, the total number of offences in
the reporting district is 858, while other areas average only 633.8, as determined
from all crime reporting districts within the jurisdiction of the local law
enforcement agency.
Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market it is a subsidiary of Tesco, the world's third
largest retailer establishment and more than 166 store locations in California,
Nevada and Arizona. Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market is proposing to provide
alcoholic beverage sales to customers as an ancillary service and will primarily sell
fresh produce, prepared and pre-packaged food, baked goods, magazines and
personal toiletries. The off-site sale of alcoholic beverages at this location is
considered ancillary as the total proposed alcohol display and storage area is .56%
of the gross floor area of the establishment. Additionally, the Planning Division, in
conjunction with other City departments, has added appropriate conditions to the
conditional use permit in order to mitigate any potential negative impacts
associated with the proposed alcohol sales. These conditions were agreed to by the
` applicant. For these reasons, the City has approved Conditional Use Permit No.
2010-05. Establishing this off-site outlet wili allow nearby residents and working
professionals the convenience of one-stop shopping for their retail and beverage
needs, including beer and wine.
If you require additionai information, feel free to contact Karen Figueredo, Planning
Associate, at your convenience. She may be reached at (310) 603-0220 x 247.
Sincerely,
Roger L. Haley
City Manager
