Resident Harry Gibbens reside on 1132 San Luis Avenue wants to know if the apartments next door are going to be converted to condominiums. Development Services Manager Colin explained the resident was referring to Item #8, Conditional Use Permit 2007 -14 Mr. Gibbens wanted to know why the number was being reduced from 14 apartment units to 12 condominiums. Interim Director Elliot said since the item is in the agenda the Planning Commission can only received testimony until the Item #8 should come up to received testimony. Vice Chair West agreed. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS Item #8: Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -14 Tentative Tract Map 2007 -03 (69283) & Variance No. 2007 -05 APPLICANT• Alan Ream 11339 -11341 Louise Avenue APN 6194 - 023 -043 Vice Chair West announced new public hearing agenda item #8 and requested the staff report. Interim Director Elliott presented the staff report and stated 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, in the R -3 (Multiple Family Residential) zone. Staff has met with the developer and recommends that the Planning Commission select one of the three following options: 1. To withdraw Approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -14 to convert fourteen (14) existing apartments into twelve (12) residential condominiums. 2. Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -14 to convert fourteen (14) residential apartments into fourteen (13) residential condominiums with a 10% reduction parking variance. Development Services Manager Colin added that staff has met with the developer, a lot of e -mail traffic and teleconference was transpired. Both parties agreed on the thirteen apartments with a minor 10% parking reduction. After the decision is made the resolution will be presented at the next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Younger asked if the Planning Commission is been asked to undo what they already approved. Development Services Manager Colin explained the project will have a new resolution and staff report and it would be brought back to the table the next Planning Commission meeting for discussion. Commissioner Enciso if the item is going to be continued. Development Services Manager Colin explained the item will be continued. Vice Chair West said he got a problem with what is been stated. The Planning Commission already decided and recommended to proceed with a selection made last meeting. Staff should have presented the new recommendation on the last Planning Commission meeting instead of coming up with a new recommendation at the last minute. Interim Director Elliott explained that the Planning Commission has the authority to decide whichever way to go and the options presented are staff recommendations only Vice Chair West was concerned about the recommendation that the Planning Commission voted at the last meeting and having staff present yet another option after an action was taken. Vice Chair West asked for Counsel Cheneir's opinion. Counsel Cheneir agreed with Interim Director Elliot to accept staff recommendation or to continue with the approved recommendation from last Planning Commission. Staff is not trying to put the Planning Commissioners on the spot. The Planning Commissioner has the option to adopt the already approved recommendation; it came to his attention that the applicant protested the recommendation from the last Planning Commission, and staff had reached a resolution to try to work it out with the applicant. Vice Chair West asked if the applicant has the right to circumvent the rules because they like or dislike a directive so it can elongate the time frame. Counsel Cheneir the applicant has certain appeal rights; they can appeal to the City Council. There is an effort to avoid going that far. Interim Director Elliot agreed and commented the applicant was getting ready to appeal to the City Council. Vice Chair West said the correct way to proceed was to follow with the Planning Commission recommendation and then may some other comments. It puts the Planning Commission in a bad position. Interim Director Elliot explained that three options were presented last Planning Commission Meeting and staff is only adding one more option. It is up to the Planning Commission to decide which way to go. Vice Chair West explained it was already done, regardless of the Interim Director comments the Planning Commission has already given directions that must be followed as he expected. If staff has recommendations it could be added later on. Vice Chair West asked if the 10% variance was being applied to the 26 parking spaces. Development Services Manager Colin explained the covered garage will not be affected and the 10% variance would be applied to the guest parking stalls. Vice Chair West asked Counsel Cheneir if the meeting was going accordingly. Counsel Cheneir told Vice Chair West to let the applicant speak and explain his project before continuing. City Counsel Cheneir also said that the Planning Commissioners may be confused with the options; one of the options is to "undo" last meeting's recommendation and continued the item, retracted and take into consideration the new recommendation. Development Services Manager Colin agreed. Commissioner Enciso said he was confused and believed the Planning Commissioners already approved the item and wants to know why it is being change again. Counsel Cheneir explained the Planning Commissioner that staff has been in constant communication with the applicant via phone and e -mail which disagreed with the Planning Commissioner's decision and it hinted some sort of legal action. Staff scrutinized the item more carefully to make sure staff was given them consideration. It may seem that the Planning Commissioner's consideration is been second guessed but in fact staff has been more detailed and has made sure no lines are crossed. Counsel Cheneir added that staff was trying to resolve a potential dispute and have this matter resolved before it goes to the City Council; the purpose was not to circumvent the previous results. If the Planning Commissioners were not comfortable it would be recommendable to continue the item and ask staff for more details. Vice Chair West opened the public hearing. Commissioner Enciso swears in citizen. Applicant Ted Chan 2136 Harry Lane Anaheim California believes there is miscommunication as far as what direction the project is going. During the last Planning Commission the applicant believed the Commissioners did not listen to his case and the decision was kind of precipitated. The recommendation came after communicating and discussing with staff. Vice Chair West asked what was the pleasure of the Commissioners. Development Services Manager Colin asked if Mr. Gibbens is permitted to address the Commissioners. Vice Chair West said it depends on what the commissioners decide to do. Interim Director Elliot explained that there is an exception to the rule; if the citizen is not able to attend the next Planning Commission meeting it would be advisable to take a testimony. Commissioner Enciso agreed to continue the item to the next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Younger understands what staff is trying to do and agrees to continue. Counsel Cheneir agreed and once again explained the options. Commissioner Younger said he believes staff did not make a mistake. Vice Chair West said he "would let it go as that'. Commissioner Patel agreed to continue the item to next Planning Commission meeting. Vice Chair West asked if everybody was in favor of continuing the item. By general consensus Item #9 will be continued to next Planning Commission meeting November 13, 2007. Vice Chair West asked if Mr. Gibbens would be able to attend the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr Gibbens said yes but he would like to present his testimony. Vice Chair West allowed him and asked the two interpreters to state their names and addresses for the record. The interpreters were sworn in by Commissioner Enciso. Interpreters stated their names Paola Morales and Shirley Moore. Mr. Gibbens, 1132 San Luis Avenue said he had problems with the trash situation next door and he had proof. (Resident passes around a bag with trash). Counsel Cheneir told Vice Chair West to let the resident know he needs to ask his respective questions regarding the item in discussion only. Mr. Gibbens asked what is the regular size of a block wall and why on his side is higher and on the neighbors is lower. Item #9 Brown Act and Robert's Rules of Order APPLICANT: City of Lynwood Vice Chair West announced new public hearing agenda item #9 and requested the staff report. Counsel Cheneir asked for a 10 minute recess. Resume Vice Chair West asked if the Planning Commissioners agreed to continue with the presentation. Commissioners agreed. Counsel Cheneir proceeds with his presentation regarding Brown Act and Robert's Rules of Order. Vice Chair West thanks Counsel Cheneir for his presentation; the item was received and filed by general consensus. CONTINUED REGULAR AGENDA NONE NEW REGULAR AGENDA NONE STAFF ORALS Interim Director Elliot gave an update on Pacer project and presented the Planning Commission with a memorandum. The block wall was replaced for a "fabric" because at the time of digging for the foundation the run into utilities. Pacer installed an iron fence with creeping fig that will take about 10 to 15 years to grow. Staff and commissioners received complain on a daily basis. Development Services is on a verge on getting into an agreement with an acoustical engineering to do a noise and vibration analysis. The City is treating this as a public nuisance; the firm will do the analysis to determine how many properties are affected and to find options. At the moment Pacer is in violation of the decision the Planning Commission agreed upon. Development Services Manager Colin gave an update on Mariscos El Paisa. The applicant requested an extension and they were very diligent on trying to comply with the conditions. There were some changes that affected the applicant's process change of sheriff, director, city manager, etc. The applicant has not filed for an ABC Liquor License yet but is complying with the others requirements. COMMISSION ORALS Commissioner Younger thanked staff for the informative reports. Commissioner Enciso asked for alley behind his house and wants to know who is responsible for trash and graffiti. He reported to the City four to five times already. Development Services Manager Colin responded any type of complaints should be filed with the complaint department and request identification number for reference. Public Works Engineering Manager Elias Saikaly responded it needs to be directed to Quality of Life Department which is responsible for picking up trash, trim tress, etc. He recommended asking for the supervisor Deborah Jackson. Commissioner Patel thanked Counsel Cheneir for the informative presentation and requested a list with the Commissioners a -mails and phone numbers. Development Services Manager Colin said he will bring a list next Planning Commission meeting. Vice Chair West would like to see all the documents of the communication going back and forth between staff and the applicant of the condominium conversion. - Development Services Manager Colin asked if Vice Chair West was referring to the e- mails. Vice Chair West responded he would like the Planning Commission to be aware of the a -mails and be available for next meeting. Also follow up with the recommendations.

Lourdes Castro - Ramirez, Chairman Lynwood Planning Commission APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: Gabriel Elliot Interim Development Services Director APPROVED AS TO FORM: Ron Wilson, Agency Counsel Planning Commission Counsel AGENDA ITEM # 08 CUP No. 2007 -14 TTM No. 2007 -03 VAR No. 2007 -05 DATE: ' November 13, 2007 TO Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Gabriel Elliott, Interim Development Service Director SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL PERMIT No 2007 -14, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2007 -03 (69283) & VARIANCE NO. 2007 -05 11339 -11341 Louise Avenue Assessor Parcel Number 6194 - 023 -043 APPLICANT: Alan Ream 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 Planning Commission meeting 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 13, 2007 Page 2 of 6 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 existing apartments. Floor plans indicate six buildings, three of which are located at 11339 Louise Avenue and the other three at 11341 Louise Avenue Each of the three buildings consists of seven units. There are a total of ten 2- bedroom units and four 3- bedroom units within the development. The elevations identify two -story structures with stucco siding and composition asphalt shingle roofs. oil CUP 2007 -14/TTM 2007 -003 Planning Commission Meeting of November 13, 2007 Page 3 of 6 Per section 25 65 060 of the Lynwood Municipal Code, each residence consisting of 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 shall provide 10' x 20' interior clear dimensions. The project is proposing 26 enclosed parking spaces, consisting of ten (10) 1 -car garages, and two (2) 8 -car enclosed carports, or a total of sixteen (16) carport spaces. The current code requirements mandate provision of twenty -eight (28) enclosed parking stalls and seven guests parking stalls, totaling 35 parking spaces. In the R -3 zone the Lynwood Municipal Code allows a maximum density of one (1) unit per 2,420 square feet of property area. The property is sufficient in size to accommodate a maximum of ten (10) residential condominiums. The property is legal non - conforming per Conditional Use Permit 88093, Resolution No. 2247, approved by the Planning Commission. The proposal is consistent with provisions set forth in the State Subdivision Map Act and Lynwood Municipal Code Chapter 24, Subdivisions. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Department has determined that the project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15301(k). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions: (a) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2007 -3188 approving Conditional Use Permit No 2007 -14 for the conversion of 14 apartment units into 12 condominium units and Planning Commission Resolution No 2007 -3189 approving Tentative Tract Map 2007 -003 for 12 condominium units; or (b) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No 2007 -3196 approving Conditional Use Permit No 2007 -14 for the conversion of 14 apartment units into 13 condominium units and Planning Commission Resolution No. 2007 -3197 approving Tentative Tract Map 2007 -003 for 13 condominium units.

I of /I Karen Figueredo From: Chris Christensen (chris@condoconversions.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 11:26 AM To: Gabriel Elliott; 'Ted Chan' Cc: Jonathan Colin, Karen Figueredo; chris@condoconversions.com Subject: FW Municipal Code Importance: High Mr Elliott/ Mr Colin /Ms. Figueredo, Please review the attached section of the Lynwood Municipal Code. As I stated in the public hearing on September 11, 2007, the municipal code allows for the parking requirement for condominiums to be met with EITHER garages OR carports. Because the planning commission was misinformed by staff, our project was detrimentally affected. I would appreciate it the staff would correct their error and inform the planning commission at the October gth hearing of the material error Similarly, as was stated by Mr Grant Taylor to Mr Ted Chan prior to Mr Taylor's departure, the Planning Director assured Mr Chan that he had the authority to administratively approve a minor variance of up to 10% deviation from the parking standard WITHOUT planning commission approval and that, in fact, he had agreed to do so. Only in situations where the applicant seeks a deviation in excess of 10% - considered a MAJOR variance — is planning commission approval required (please see attached municipal code section 25 -140). I believe it is in the best interest of the city that the dignity and integrity of the department be upheld, despite the change in leadership. A statement by the previous director was relied upon by the applicant and should be upheld by the interim director The findings for the minor variance can be found in that the property has previously established legal (now non - conforming) rights. Therefore, it is our desire to reiterate our request for the allowance of an administrative approval of a minor variance for parking as described below For 14 units (max 3 BR's), required parking is 28 garage or carport spaces, plus 7 guest parking spaces — 35 total required — MAJOR variance would be needed For 13 units, (max 3 BR's), required parking is 26 garage or carport spaces, plus 6.5 (7) guest parking spaces — 32.5 -33 total required — MINOR variance applies For 12 units (max 3 BR's), required parking is 24 garage or carport spaces, plus 6 guest parking spaces — 30 total required — NO VARIANCE required Our project (as proposed) contains a total of 30 parking spaces. 26 are either carport or garage spaces, 4 are open spaces. _- Under EXISTING city municipal code parking guidelines, it is acceptable to consider a MINOR VARIANCE parking deviation of less than 10% as was stated by Mr Taylor prior to his departure. This would allow the applicant to consolidate only 2 units for a total combined unit count of 13. The parking would be allowed in that we would provide 2 garage or carport spaces per unit (26 required, 26 provided) and 4 open guest parking spaces. The parking REQUIREMENT for 13 condominium units is for 33 spaces as outlined above, however a 10% (3.3 parking spaces) MINOR VARIANCE (administrative process not subject to discretionary review by planning commission) would reduce the required parking to 29.7 spaces. In providing 30 spaces, we meet the requirement. In summary, the economic loss to the applicant of unit consolidation is approximately $300,000 per unit lost. Under the proposal considered last night, the economic loss to the applicant by consolidating 14 units to 12 results in a projected economic loss of $600,000 to the applicant and a net loss to the city of 2 residential dwelling 9/12/2007 Pa` 2 U1 21 units, The only reason this proposal was considered is because the planning commissioners were misinformed by staff as to the applicable city codes and parking standards. If this decision to limit the number of dwelling units to 12 is upheld, or if the project is denied, the applicant will most likely consider appealing the decision of the Planning Commission. Under the applicant's proposal — allowed within current municipal code standards as outlined herein and as discussed with staff in meetings — the economic loss to the applicant would be mitigated to $300,000 or less (estimate) and a net loss of only one dwelling unit to the city The benefit to the Lynwood community of this proposal would be 13 relatively affordable homeownership opportunities, increased long term property tax revenues, no major variance and subsequent impact on the city's parking requirement or standards of livability, and a catalyst for other development. Please contact me directly if you have any questions regarding our project and thank you again for your time and consideration of our request. We think this is a "make- sense" solution that addresses the legitimate concerns of all parties. Best regards, Chris Christensen President CondoCo n ve rs ion s.

Ross for Hermilio Franco PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting a six -month 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.

APPLICANT: Donald Chae 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. 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 TPM 2004 -003 Planning Commission Meeting of November 13, 2007 Page 2 of 2 from the map extension process but is being made a condition of approval for the map extension.
