The curb to curb width is thirty -six (36) feet. Presently, each side of the street provides four (4) to five (5) parallel parking spaces for a total of eight (8) to ten (10) spaces.

A traffic impact study was prepared by GSw Consulting Engineering in January of 1992 (see attachments 50 -64). The traffic impact study for the proposed vacation of Arval Street; indicated that the vacation of Arval Street will not have significant traffic impact on the affected properties. The study also recommends a twenty -four (24) car parking lot with perpendicular layout. Arval Street is not needed for traffic circulation. The conversion of Arval Street to a parking lot will not create an unsafe traffic operation condition. The City and private utility companies do not own any facilities along Arval Street therefore maintaining a utility easement will not be required. The Fire Department requires a twenty (20) feet wide fire lane which will be provided and maintained. Staff in accordance with the Traffic and Parking Commission request has compiled a list of issues that have been brought up by the public in the City Council public hearing meetings.

PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: Kenrick Karefa Johnson, Director Community Development Department SUBJECT: Modification of Conditional Use permit Case No j2 Applicant: New West Federal Savings and Loan Association. The applicant is requesting approval of a Modified Conditional Use Permit to increase available parking to 187 spaces for the existing Imperial Stockwell Medical Building at 3860 Imperial Highway in the H -M -D (Hospital - Medical- Dental) zone. Facts Section 25 -13.8 of the Lynwood Zoning Ordinance requires that a Conditional Use permit be obtained prior to construction in an H -M -D zone. The original approval of this structure was based on a CUP thus the requirement for modification. The property is located on the south side of Imperial Highway between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Stockwell Drive. The property is irregular in shape and totals approximately 52,010 square feet. 3. Th• property is presently developed with a five story medical office building with underground parking and additional adjacent parking. The surrounding land uses comprise of a mixture of residential and commercial which are as follows North - Commercial South - Residential East - Residential West - Commercial 4 . North - Commercial CS -1 South - Multi - Family R -3 East - Multi - Family R -3 West - Commercial HKD As mentioned the subject property is a five story medical office building developed pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission, Resolution Nos. 790 and 961. The Planning Commission approved a modified Conditional Use Permit under Resolution No. 2309, approving a change in building usage and requiring additional parking. The applicant in now requesting a second modification, as the original proposal cannot be realized. Under this modification the applicant proposes to provide a total of 187 parking spaces. (Sea Analysis). d1,k$0:ctp73 6. Site Pla.. Review • At its regular meeting of D &ar 27, 1990, the Site Plan Review Committee evaluated the proposed development and recommended approval to the Planning Commission subject to specific conditions. EMEEFT-M W,704 None of Record None of Record The property is consistent with the existing zoning classification (NMD) and the general plan designation (Commercial). Therefore, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 32 will not adversely affect the Lynwood General Plan. 2. Analysis On September 29, 1981, Resolution No. 790 was approved for development of a five (5) story Condominium Medical building with one - hundred fifty (130) parking spaces. The number of required spaces was derived based on providing parking for thirty (30) medical suites, as amended by Resolution No. 961 for the same development. On January 9, 1990, the City Planning Commission approved modified Conditional Use Permit No. 32 allowing a change in building usage and requiring additional parking. It was the . change in building usage (the leasing of space to tenants which are more labor intensive) that has caused a problem whereby patrons have been forced to park on residential streets and other commercial development sites. Complaints had also been registered by adjacent business owners who own a portion of the triangular lot on the subject site. Moreover, the management company (American Real Estate Group) reserves parking beneath the building only for As of this date the owners of the Stockwell building have not boon allowed to lease the remaining floor and one -half (4th and 5th floors) of tenant space in the building. As mentioned the first modification cannot be realized as there was a problem with the original dimensions submitted to the City for the restriping of the triangular lot. di,kW:C,6d2 e� i J • within the last two months, pning staff has hold several meetings with a representative f American Real Estate Group (representing New west Federal Savings), a representative of a potential new owner for the Imperial Stockwell Building, and other owners of commercial property adjacent to the Imperial Stockwell development. These meetings were held to examine alternatives for increasing parking availability. If the structure were built today in accordance with current parking standards, the site would have to provide two - hundred eight (208) parking spaces. Studies have been completed on various means of acquiring additional parking; these include: a. Restriping a jointly owned triangular parking lot behind the Building. Imperial Stockwell Building owns 5/17 of available parking on this lot or 33 spaces. It has been concluded that restriping would not result in additional parking. b. Restripinq "Lot An adjacent to the Imperial Stockwell Building. Additional spaces can be provided on this lot, a restriping plan has been prepared with a total of 39 spaces. C. Review parking available to the public on three parking levels in the Imperial Stockwell Building. A total of 84 parking spaces are available, at least 20 of those will be accessible to the public. d. Acquisition of a triangular residential lot across the alley from Imperial Stockwell on Stockwell Avenue. This lot has been available for sale in the past although it is currently off the market. A striping plan has been prepared which would provide 16 new parking spaces. a. vacation of Arval Avenue from Century Boulevard oast to an alleyway serving both commercial development on Century Boulevard and the triangular parking lot mentioned in Item a.a. A striping plan has been prep ared which shows that 24 compact parking spaces wide alleyway dbe providedd if Arval Avenue was converted to a 20 parking on either side. f. Acquisition of off -site parking within the vicinity of the Imperial Stockwell Building through lease agreements. It is anticipated that some additional parking could be acquired by the Imperial Stockwell Building for employee and long term parking needs and make parking at the building more readily available for visitors. g. The Redevelopment Agency may at some point build a parking structure to meet the long term needs of existing and future development in the KKD Redevelopment zone. When constructed the parking structure will assist existing development in seating Lynwood's upgraded parking standards and assist with the redevelopment potential in the area. d;,ksa:ap32 �J Staff has found that no substantial environmental impact will result from the proposed development; therefore, a Negative Declaration has been filed in the Community Development Department and in the office of the City Clark.

The resulting traffic flow estimates arc s_ cw n in Figure 3. It is possible that the increase on the southerly alley at Stockwell Drive - .v be noticed by the abutting building occupants.

It appears possible that some of the traffic diverted from Arval Avenue could be encouraged to use right turns from and on to Imperial Highway if a driveway approach were constructed in the existing Medical Building parking lot. Figure 4 shows what the expected flows would be in that case. CONCLUSIO The vacation of Arval Avenue and conversion of the property into a 24 car parking lot ccs,gnared for compact cars will cause some drivers to and from the large, tnangular shaped interior parkins; area to use other connections to the street system The projected usage of these other connections would not, it is believed, cause significant traffic environmental :-:pacts on any of the affected properties.

Officials in the state's "Broccoli Capital" have required two pro- posed developments to put two bikes in every new home to en- courage residents to pedal around instead of driving cars. "I don't know whether they'll use the bikes or hock them and take the money and run," Green- field Mayor Roy Morris said Wednesday "Bin at .'east we're doing some`: -ing about this brown air in the Salinas Valley " City Manager Arturo de la Cer- da, who came up with the bicycle idea, said the one - stoplight city of 8.000 people doesn't generate much pollution. But dirty air spills into the valley from busy U.S. 101, the Silicon Valley and the popular tourist destinations of Monterey and Carmel. "We wanted to do something to control pollution and give home- owners some direct benefit," De la Cerda said. "I don't know if they'll use the bikes, but even if they give them away or sell them, somebody will use them." The Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District supports Greenfield's unique efforts to con- trol regional air pollution. Developers in California and other stases often are required to mitigate ncreased traffic and ac- commodate bicycles by widening roads or providing bike stands and lanes for cyclists, he said. But so far, Greenfield appears to LOS be the only city in the nation vfith two- bike - per -home require ent. ' "I've heard of cities requiring developers to build bike lanes, but this is new to me. It's terrific," said Andy Clarke, a Bicycle Federation of America spokesman in Wash- ington. Wes Ball. the developer of a 105 -home project in Greenfield, is skeptical. He said it's "no big deal" to put $200 worth of unassembled, adult bikes in each $90,000- $100,000 home, but it might be a waste of time. "It's kind of a novel idea, but I personally don't think it's going to make much of an impact," Ball said. "I was thinking we could disallow wood fireplaces or put up signs encouraging car- pooling in- stead. "I think a lot of those people will just give the bikes to their kids." ANGELES TIMES Sunday, February 21, 1992 POTHOLES: Crews Also Contend With Angry Drams • • Continued from BI rather drive over potholes than atpund pothole pluggers. , A patching project on Barham Boulevard in Hollywood on Wednesday caused a traffic jam tHat purportedly provoked a fist - fIPub between two drivers. lsewhere, motorists were tak- ing out their frustration over blocked -off lanes by aiming their cars at pothole crews. In the past, tT t�1gy have also aimed guns —al- th'ough city officials say no shots have been fired. "I've had a lot of close calls with people driving through the cones," said Sakamoto as he and partner Carlos Jimenez shoveled hot as- phalt into a two- foot -wide hole in tie 1300 block of Martel Avenue. It was one of 40 potholes that the pair would fill this day 11 jump out of the way twice a day," said Jiminez. "Some people are mean. We're just trying to do something nice for people." The city's 35 two - person pothole crews fill about 200,000 holes a 1 . 'This is not New York. We've never lost a car in a pothole.' WILLIAM HARDING year, said Gregory Scott, a street maintenance supervisor About 70% are reported by people who call the pothole hot line: (213) 485 -5661. The 24 -hour fix -it pledge has been made because the city views potholes as an emergency safety hazard, Scott said. As a result, most holes get patched before they be- come big problems. "This is not New York. We've never lost a car in a pothole. People in L.A. are not bashful. They call and report potholes," said William Harding, a third - generation street maintenance worker who is in charge of roadways in the Holly- wood area. Los Angeles' mild climate also helps. Streets in other cities bleak apart when rainwater freezes and expands inside cracks, said Isaac Sparks, a street superintendent in the Mid -City area. Sparks said Cleveland's potholes are the big- gest he has ever seen. S ome Easterners actually boast of their legendary potholes. Joked a scholar at American Uni- versity to a Washington, D.C., newspaper last week. "What do you call the academicians who come to study Washington's streets every year? Experts in risk management —or Roads Scholars." A Minneapolis columnist last month chronicled one 'pothole as "deep enough to trap small cars. In fact, the driver of a subcompact might actually enjoy a moment or two of weightlessness as the vehi- cle plunged into the abyss." In Chicago, researchers have spent $1.1 million developing a prototype pothole repair truck that uses a computerized imaging cam- era to size up potholes and robot arms to fill and seal them. On Martel Avenue, Sakamoto and Jimenez used a jackhammer to even out the edges of the pothole. Then they shoveled asphalt heated to 320 degrees from a four -ton pile in the back of their dump truck. Finally, they smoothed out the patch with a noisy, lawn mower engine - powered tamping machine powered by a noisy lawn -mower engine. The repair cost the city about $7.30. Passing motorists and residents were patient while the pair blocked off the street. That is because it is a neighborhood of Russian immig- rants. Said Igor Mamulis, who moved from Kiev six months ago: "We have bigger potholes back there." lu `�itrtb� kOCATION MA JJJ i 0 I ' .

Potholes are created when rain seeps through cracks in the roadway and makes the soil under- neath mushy That causes the pavement to sink, creating more cracks — "al ligatoring," as street workers call it.
