Planning Commission meeting of November 13, 2007

Planning Commission meeting.
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.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The subject property totals 25,929 square feet (0 59- acres) in area and is located on the
west side of Louise Avenue between Sanborn Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr
Boulevard The site plan indicates the property is rectangular in shape totaling 25,929
square feet with the driveway providing a minimum of twenty five feet (25') for the

three or fewer bedrooms shall provide a two -car garage and residences consisting of
four or more bedrooms shall provide a three car garage. Each enclosed parking stall

AGENDA ITEM #10,
TTM No. 2004 -06 Extension
DATE: November 26, 2007
TO Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Gabriel Elliott, Interim Development Service Director
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF TIME FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2004 -06
(062163)
Assessor Parcel Number 6174 - 001 -900 & 901 AND 6189 - 012 -900 &

APPLICANT: Armen D. Ross for Hermilio Franco
Planning Commission Meeting of November 13, 2007
The Planning Commission opened public hearing, took 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 -06 (062163) which was originally approved by the Planning Commission on
November 9, 2004
BACKGROUND
The original approval was for the construction of 39 single - family residential units, two
stories in height, with attached two -car garages, seven common lots for pocket parks
and a lot for Edison substation. 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).

AGENDA ITEM #11
TPM No. 2004 -03 Extension
DATE: November 26, 2007
TO Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Gabriel Elliott, Interim Development Service Director
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF TIME FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2004 -03
(26625)
3100 Imperial Highway
Assessor Parcel Map No. 6171 - 007 -032, City of Lynwood.
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. One condition will address the number of parcels approved within the project
and the other seeks blanket access easements for utility purposes within the
development.
There appears to be inconsistency between the originally approved Tentative Parcel
Map and the version submitted to the County of Los Angeles for final checking. To
remedy this discrepancy, the applicant will file an amended map reconciling the number
of parcels within the development with the number of parcels in the maps final version.
TPM 2004 -003
Planning Commission Meeting of November 26, 2007
Page 2 of 2
The other issue is with the granting of a blanket easement rights to the City for the
purpose of serving utilities located on the property This item will be handled separate
from the map extension process but is being made a condition of approval for the map
extension.
The State of California Subdivision Map Act Section 66463 5(c) allows -time extensions
up to a maximum of five years for parcel maps. Although the applicant is requesting a
one -year time extension, the Engineering Department believes that the final map is
nearing completion and a six -month time period will provide the applicant the incentive
to follow through with the process.
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 -3199 approving a six -month time extension for Tentative Parcel
Map 2004 -03 (26625).
