PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting approval to convert fourteen (14) existing apartments into residential condominiums. The residences consist of six (6) buildings, two stories in height with attached one and two -car garages. The subject property is located at 11339- 11341 Louise Avenue, Assessor Parcel Number 6194 - 023 -043, in the R -3 (Multiple - Family Residential) zone BACKGROUND Plannino Commission meetino of October 9. 2007 At the October 9, 2007 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented a resolution to the Commission recommending approval for the conversion of 14 apartment units to 13 condominium units. In order to meet the parking requirements for 13 condominium units, an administrative, ten (10) percent parking variance would need to be processed. The parking variance would only reduce the number of open guest parking spaces. Staff also requested that the Commission set aside its September 11, 2007 decision approving 12 condominium units. The Commission inquired as to why staff had presented an alternative to the option chosen by the Commission at the September 11, 2007 meeting (conversion to 12 condominium units), directed staff to present both options at the November 13, 2007 meeting as well as the correspondence received from the applicant after the September 11, 2007 meeting. The City Attorney explained that the reason why staff worked with the applicant to resolve specific issues was to allay applicant's threats of appealing Planning CUP 2007- 14/TTM 2007 -003 Planning Commission Meeting of November 26, 2007 Page 2 of 5 Commission's decision to the City Council and to dispel the applicant's contention that staff made an error in its analysis of the project's parking requirements Parking Variance Variance No. 2007 -05 was and still is part of the original application. The intent of the Variance from the applicant's point of view was to waive current parking requirements for the condominium conversion since the apartment complex being converted was constructed prior to 2005 when the new parking regulations went into effect. Depending on which option from staffs recommendation the Planning Commission chooses, the parking Variance would not be necessary If the Planning Commission approves the 12- condominium unit conversion, current parking requirements will be met by the reduced number of units. If the Planning Commission opts for the 13 -unit conversion, Lynwood Municipal Code provides for an administrative 10- percent parking Variance which when applied, brings the project parking into compliance. Planning Commission Action of September 11, 2007 At the September 11, 2007 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission selected the option to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -14 to convert fourteen (14) existing apartment units into twelve (12) residential condominiums. This option was one of the three staff had presented to the Commission for consideration. Site Plan Review Meeting of September 26, 2007 At the Site Plan Review meeting of September 26, 2007, there was discussion between staff and the applicant on a proposal to further refine the site plan. This proposal would only result in the loss of one apartment unit (resulting in 13 condominium units) while providing the required number of parking spaces on site.

The project also includes Conditional Use Permit No 2004 -33, Zone Change No. 2004 -04, Variance No 2003 -05 and environmental review The project area consists of three vacant parcels totaling approximately 176,500 square feet or 4 05- acres. PROJECT OVERVIEW Two of the projected 39 residential units have been constructed so no further action is required for the CUP, Zone Change or Variance. Because the Tract Map has not been recorded, and the map date is nearing expiration, an extension of time has been filed by the applicant. The State'of California Subdivision Map Act Section 66452.6 allows a time extension beyond 36 months if the subdivider is required to expend $178,000 00 or more to construct, improve or finance the construction or improvements of public 1mprovements outside the property boundaries.of the tentative map The Engineering Department has verified that the applicant will spend well in excess of $178,000 00 for off -site improvements. TTM 2004 -004 Planning Commission Meeting of November 26, 2007 Page 2 of 2 The City granted a one -year time extension in November 2006 to expire November 9, 2007 However, based on the amount of work to get the map into final map stage, staff believes that a six -month extension, rather than the one -year, is appropriate. Should there be a need for additional time extensions, they will be processed as needed. All conditions of approval of the original map are still applicable where appropriate ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Department performed an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION (a) Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2007 -3198 approving a six -month time extension for Tentative Tract Map 2004 -06 (062163).

APPLICANT: Donald Chae Planning Commission Meeting of November 13, 2007 The Commission took public testimony and continued the item to the Planning Commission meeting of November 26, 2007 PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting a one -year time extension for Tentative Tract Map No. 2004 -03 (26625) which was originally approved by the Planning Commission on May 11, 2004 by adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No 3006 The initial approval was for 24- months. In May of 2006, the City granted a one -year time extension to expire May 11, 2007, and in May 2007, granted a six -month time extension to expire November 11, 2007 On October 9, 2007, staff received a request for a one -year time extension, pursuant to the State Subdivision Map Act. BACKGROUND The original approval was for the consolidation of multiple lots into five parcels for development within the Plaza Mexico shopping Center PROJECT OVERVIEW Two additional conditions of approval and' one statement of clarification stating that conditions of approval that have been met under Resolution No 3006, are being proposed.
