t
Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to build two
(2), three- bedroom apartment units and three (3), two -car
garages at the rear of an existing single - family dwelling in
an R -2 (Two- family Residential) zone.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairperson Dove.
Fernando Quintana, 12512 Waldorf Drive, Lynwood stated that
he had read all the requirements as to landscaping and
grading, and he is agreeable to all conditions.
Mr. Mas referred to Item No. 17 on Resolution No. 2239. He
said that the depth of the garage would be 19 feet instead of
the 20 feet required and the adjustment would be made with
the developer. The rear wall of the garage would be moved to
the property line. There was a brief discussion regarding the
garage location and size and green areas. Commissioner Pryor
questioned whether this would be okay with the Fire
Department. Commissioner Haynes asked if anything was going
to be done to the existing house. Mr. Barfield said that to
his knowledge no modifications were required at this time.
There was a brief discussion on the boundary lines and
distances. Mr. Mas stated that the rear boundary line is the
borderline with the City of Compton.
There was a brief discussion on enhancement of the front
house. Commissioner Dove suggested that the case be
considered with the provision to include some facade
treatment on the front house.
Commissioner Haynes asked about the trash enclosure - -where it
was going to be located and what it would be constructed of.
They were told it would be located between the rear wall and
the new unit and would be constructed of masonry.
Mr Barnes suggested that with respect to Item No.17 on
Resolution No. 2239, that a 17(a) be added to further clarify
as follows:

Mr. Barnes also sugguested that a final condition, N0.33, be
added as follows for the purpose of ensuring that the facade
of the ?front houseis restuccoed and a three -foot decorative
facing installed to a height of three feet or window level.
33. The facade of the front existing house is to be improved
with an additional surface treatment to window level to
the satisfaction of staff to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission if necessary.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of or
opposition to C.U.P. No. 88082, Chairperson declared the
Public Hearing closed.
MOTION made by Commissioner Haynes, SECONDED by Commissioner
Penalber that Resolution No. 2239 of the Planning Commission
of the City of Lynwood approving Conditional Use Permit No.
88082 for the construction of two three - bedroom apartment
units and three two -car garages at 12512 Waldorf Drive,
Lynwood, California, in the R -2 (Two - family Residential) zone

to provide improvements of the existing buildings. MOTION

3. Conditional Use Permit - Case No. 88084
12517 Waldorf Drive (Fernando Quintana)
Applicant is requesting a Conditonal Use Permit to build two
(2) three - bedroom apartment units and three (3) two -car gar-
ages at�the rear of an existing single - family dwelling in the
R -2 (two - family Residential) zone.
Staff recommended that since this development is very similar
to the one just adopted that include amending Item No. 17 in
the resolution to allow a setback of the garage to develop
more green area space and add Item No. 35 to insure that the
facade of the existing building is aesthetically pleasing.
Also the resolution should be correcte& to read approved and
adopted this 8th day of November, 1988, instead of 11th day
of October.
Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing.
Applicant Fernando Quintana said that he was aware of the
conditions and was agreeable to the amendments as outlined.
DISK 41:MINS1108

Commissioner Willis said that there was quite a contrast
between the two pieces of property. He said that the property
at 12517 has gross unsanitary conditions. There is trash
debris, dry grass ` which is a fire hazard, plus you have a
rat problem. If Mr. Quintana can't maintain what he has in a
sanitary condition, how is he going to maintain these
multiple units?
Applicant Quintana responded that he had just purchased the
property a couple of months ago. The unit is not occupied at
this time and he had not had an opportunity to take care of
the problem.
Mr. Barnes said that this could be made a condition of the
Conditional Use Permit that the property be kept in a
sanitary condition pending construction.
Mr Mas said that Code Enforcement is spending a great deal of
time in trying to keep these properties clean, and if the
applicant fails to keep the property clean then that would
result in a revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr Quintana said that it was his intention to clean up the
property.
Commissioner Haynes said that he is also concerned about the
buildings at 12512 and 12517 being the same. He would like to
see a little modification in the front building since it is
in such a disastrous shape.
Applicant Quintana said that each building will definitely
have different decor with rocks on the front.
Chairperson Dove suggested that something similar to what we
did in the previous case be addressed so that the whole issue
of maintenance not only for residential property during
construction or development but for granted Conditional Use
Permits and conditions continue to deteriorate. He proposed
that this be put on the agenda for next month, and that it be
a condition for this Case 88084 also.
Mr Barnes suggested language for Item No. 36 to be added to
Resolution No. 2240 that the existing property shall be
cleaned and maintained in a sanitary condition pending
construction.
There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of or
opposition to C.U.P. No.88084, Chairperson Dove declared the
Public Hearing closed.
MOTION made by Commissioner Pryor, SECONDED by Commissioner
Haynes to approve Resolution No. 2240, approving Conditional
Use Permit No. 88084 for the construction of two three -
bedroom apartment units and three two -car garage at 12517
Waldorf Drive, Lynwood, California, in th R -2 (Two - family
Residential) zone with additional • conditions 17(a),
recommended setback of the garages, 35, window and height
facade attend to by staff and applicant, and 36, list the

4. General Plan Amendment - Case No. 88087
Portions of the 4300 block on the northside of Carlin Avenue
(Reverend Paul Hackett and the City of Lynwood)
Mr. Fenderson said that this is a joint application between
Rev. Paul Hackett and the City of Lynwood for a General Plan
Amendment for portions of the 4300 block of the north side of
Carlin Avenue. The request is to redesignate the area from
Town House and Cluster housing to Multi- Family development to
correct an existing inconsistency and to reflect current
development trends, the inconsistency must be changed.
Mr. Fenderson made a presentation using maps to show the
surrounding land use. He said that a correction should be
made to the staff report as noted on the Case No. 88087
document under Surrounding Land Uses: North, Single- Family,
South Single - Family and Apartments, East, Trailer Park, and
to the West, Single - Family and Apartments.
Staff believes that changing this area to Multi- family would
be consistent with the other areas. The major problem being
that on one single property we have two different General
Plan designations. Under a Multi- family designation it would
yield 17 units.
A brief discussion followed on making the designation Town-
house Cluster Housing. Chairperson Dove said he would like to
preserve the option to encourage more cluster -type dwellings.
A brief discussion on density followed. There was some con-
cern about the yield of 17 units.
Commissioner Willis asked if the Commission could go ahead
and make the General Plan and the zoning compatible but still
have the leeway of controlling the number of units. Mr.
Fenderson confirmed that this was correct.
Commissioner Haynes asked if we wouldn't be accomplishing the
same purpose if we change it from Multi- family dwelling and
reversed it and made it into Town -house Cluster. Mr.Fenderson
said "no" because it would require a Zone Change. There was a
brief discussion on the zoning classification.
Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing.
Applicant Rev. Paul Hackett, 12209 Paris Avenue, Lynwwod,
spoke in favor of the adjustment because he felt that
limiting a piece of property almost aD acre in size to a
single unit or duplex would almost negate the value of the
property totally. He said that he had never questioned the
right of Sam Menlow to run a business, he only questioned the
type of business he was running.
Commissioner Cole- Dennis asked how many units R -2 would yield
and staff reported that it would yield 13 units. There was a
brief discussion on this.
DISK 41:MINS1108

Mr Ken Randolph, broker representing Rev. Paul Hackett, spoke
on behalf of the Reverend and said that the main thing to
consider is the best. use of the property and the value of the
property. He said that the value of vacant property in the
City of Lynwood is going for $8.50 to $10.50 per square foot.
He said it is unfeasible to propose to build 10 or 13 units.
There was a brief discussion on aesthetics and property
values and also poor management of units once constructed.
Speaking in opposition of General Plan Amendment No. 88087,
Mr. Robert Fry, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, said that he
was concerned about the number of apartments being built in
the City. He said that a separate parcel in question was not
landlocked - -it has a 50 -foot exit onto Atlantic. He said that
he was concerned with properties designated as R -1, R -2, and
R -3 zones being turned into multi -unit properties.
There was a brief discussion on the growth of the City as it
applied ;to the school district.
Mr. Mas said that the property Mr. Frye referred to is land-
locked and that the piece of land that connected the subject
property with Atlantic was sold separately. He said the
school -district is a separate local unit of government, and
they have a responsibility, as well as the City has, to plan
the development of the City. The school district has taken
steps to deal with the influx of citizenry into the system.
Commissioner Willis said that we have approximately 54,000
people in the City of Lynwood and we do not have adequate
fire and police protection, and to overproliferate the area
with more units, we really have a problem. He said "more
growth " -- "more problem." He said we'll over -grow ourselves
out of existence. We have a problem right now where we can't
economically maintain what we have. Right now we cannot
cover our City with adequate fire and police protection.
Chairperson Dove said that added units are supposed to
Produce additional taxes and the added population should
Provide more sales tax revenues.
There followed a brief discussion on over - growth and over-
population and new sources of tax revenues and the fact that
many people were living in converted garages, etc. Mr.
Fenderson said that the City of Lynwood had a vacancy rate
below 40.
Commissioner Haynes said that he saw no reason why this
particular area should be changed to Multi- Family. He said
that he would not vote on this issue because he lives in the
area.
Commissioner Cole- Dennis asked if they were talking about 13
or 17 units to be built on the subject property. Mr.
Fenderson said that a multi - family General Plan designation
would yield 17 units. He said that staff would like to
stress again that the number of units on the property would
be controlled by the Commission.
Mr. Barnes said that the Commission should not underestimate
the decision they were making tonight but what we are trying
to do is fix the range of density for the area.
i
DISK 41:MINS1108
Commissioner Pryor said that Carlin was one of the best areas
for multi- family dwellings because of the width of the
street.

Chairperson Dove opened the Public Hearing on Case No. 88090,
Tentative Parcel Map No-20339.
Applicant Billy Hisey, 11534 Louise Avenue, Lynwood, said
that they had complied with all the requirements.
There being no one else to speak in favor of or in opposition
to the request, Chairperson Dove declared the Public Hearing
closed.
Chairperson Dove asked for clarification from staff on the
ability of the parcel to accommodate a 10 -unit apartment due
to the configuration of the property. Mr. Mas said that they
were working with the developer to get the best possible
design. A brief discussion followed.
Commissioner Pryor asked if this case had been heard before
and Mr. Fenderson replied that it had been. A brief
discussion followed.
MOTION by Commissioner Pryor, SECONDED by Commissioner

7. General Plan Amendment, Zone Change - Case No. 88094
Certain portions of the 3200 block of Flower Street and the
south side of Fernwood's 3200 block (City of Lynwood)
This is a two -step application requesting a General Plan
Amendment and a Zone Change. The City is proposing to amend
the City's General Plan and to prepare a zone change for
certain portions of the north side of the 3200 block of
Flower Street and certain portions of the south side of
Fernwood Avenue. The proposal is to redesignate the area
from Single - Family to Townhouse and Cluster Housing, and to
change the zone from R -3 to an R -2 classification, thus
bringing both the Zoning Map and the General Plan Map into
comformity and reflecting current development trends.
Mr. Fenderson said that Planning staff .has discovered permit
applications that have an inconsistent designation between
the Zoning Map and the General Plan Map. He said right now
there are four applications on hold and this inconsistency
must be corrected before any development permits can be
approved.
Chairperson Dove asked if the zoning is changed if applicants
wishing. to build have to come before the Commission, Mr.
Fenderson said that if the existing zone is changed from R -3
to R -2 it would require a Conditional Use Permit which would
come before the Planning Commission for approval.

Chairperson Dove declared the Public Hearing on Case No.
88094 open.
Mr. Edward Rafael, Flower Street, Lynwood, said that he
was one of the affected owners. He said his property is
currently zoned as R -3 and he wants to build four (4) town
home units, styled as single - family, two -story dwellings. If
the zoning is down - graded to R -2, he would lose one of his
units, and he asked for a one -time only exemption.
Mr. Barnes said that the above application is not before the
Commission tonight and has not been agendized and therefore
cannot be considered under the Brown Act. He said that he
did not believe there was a one -time only exemption. Mr.
Rafael would have to seek a variance.
Mr. Alexis Galindo, 6812 Pacific Avenue, Huntington Park,
spoke in favor of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change.
He said that he owns three properties in the area and is
proposing three different buildings which will include a
three - bedroom, two -bath unit in front and two, two- bedroom
units in the back. He said that he was caught in the middle
and to reiterate that he is in favor of the resolution.
Mr. Robert Frye, 12501 Alpine Avenue, Lynwood, spoke in
opposition to the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. He
said the width of Flower Street is too narrow and the
Commission should be taking this into consideration.
There being no one else to speak in favor of or in opposition
to General Plan Amenment and Zone Change, Case No. 88094,
Chairperson Dove declared the Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Haynes said that he felt downgrading the
properties from R -3 to R -2 is coinciding with Mr. Fry's
request.

Commissioner Haynes asked if they were going to have on the
December agenda something about the clean up and maintenance of
properties ,during Conditional Use Permits. He feels that
applicants should be denied filing for a permit for a year if
they don't clean up their property.
Commissioner Pryor said that about three years ago a Conditional
Use Permit,was granted to Reverend Henderson for a pre - school on
Atlantic Avenue and we were told how beautiful he was going to
make it. Mr. Mas said that the Conditional Use Permit is about
to expire and he will have to apply again. Commissioner Pryor
said it was turning in to a beautiful junkyard. He hasn't
painted it and there are about 13 used cars on the lot.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
1. Environmental Assessment
The Community Development Department has determined that the
project could not have a significant effect on the
environment, and a Negative Declaration has been prepared, in
accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended
(Section 15073).
2. Determination of Appropriate Findings
Staff analysis of the proposed common pole sign includes the
following: (A) on- premise and off - premise requirements (B)
findings of a Variance as required by California State
Planning Law.
The proposed common pole sign is considered both an off -
premise and on- premise sign. It is an off - premise sign
because World Savings is not located on the subject property
and is proposing to advertise its business. It is an on-
premise sign because McDonald's is advertising and is located
on the subject property.
The City's Zoning Ordinance only allows common pole signs if
businesses share a common parking lot or facility. A
property may have an on- premise pole sign and a off - premise
sign if the property has an excess of 300 linear feet of
street frontage. The subject property does not meet street
frontage requirements.
California State Planning Law allows localities to grant
certain development permits that are not consistent with the
City's ? development standards, when because of special
circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, `topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the City's Zoning Ordinance deprives the
property owner of privileges enjoyed by other property in the
vicinity and under identical zoning classifications.
The Lynwood Zoning Ordinance requires that the Planning
Commission approve Variances based on six basic findings and
two additional findings for signage (see attached sheet).
After research involving this application, staff believes
that the request for Variance approval for the common pole
sign at the subject property does not meet the required
findings and should not be granted.
The proposed Variance request was published in the Lynwood
Press on November 23rd, 1988, and public hearing notices were
mailed to the surrounding property owners on December 1,
1988. However, as of the date of preparation of this report,
staff had not received any response.

The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning
classification (R -2) and the General Plan designation (Townhouse
and Cluster Housing). The predominant land uses in the area are
medium density residential. Therefore, granting of Conditional
Use Permit No. 88091 will not be inconsistent with the General
Plan.
Site Suitability
The subject property is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed development relative to the proposed
density, bulk of the structures, parking, walls, fences,
landscaping, driveways and other development features required
by the Zoning Ordinance. Further, the subject property is
adequately served with the required public utilities and offers
adequate vehicular and pedestrian accessibility.
s
Virginia Avenue is forty (40 feet wide; and given its status
as a local street, it is sufficient for carrying the required
traffic volume that would be generated by the proposed use.
Compliance with Development Standards

neighborhood and will act as a catalyst in fostering other
quality developments in the area. Furthermore, the development

proposed development relative to density, bulk of the
structures, parking, walls, fences, landscaping, driveways and
other development features required by the Zoning Ordinance.
The property is adequately served with the required public
utilities and offers adequate vehicular and pedestrian
accessiblity.
3. Compatibility

4. Compliance with Development Standards
The proposal meets,a_ll of the development standards required by
the Zoning Ordinance with respect to parking; front, side, and
rear -yard setbacks; distance between structures; lot coverage;
open space and landscaping; building height; unit size and
density.
The base density within the R -3 zone (18 unit /acre) allows the
development of eleven (11) units. The applicant has requested
the maximum density bonus allowed by the Zoning Ordinance.
Threrefore, three (3) additional units may be granted as
follows;
o Section 25- 4.5b7(1) (bonus clause for provisions of low and
moderate income housing) permits granting up to 25% of the
base density, provided all development standards are met and
the applicant agrees to enter into a fifteen (15) year
covenant with the City to ensure that the rent for the bonus
units will remain at affordable or fair market rent levels.
5. Conditions of Approval
The improvements as proposed, subject to the conditions
recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee, will not have a
negative effect on the values of the surrounding properties or
interfere on the values of the surrounding properties or
interfere with or endanger the public health, safety or welfare.
6. Benefits to Community
The proposed development will aid in aesthetically upgrading the
neighborhood and will act as a catalyst in fostering other
quality developments. Furthermore, the development will add
favorably to the City's housing stock and will provide
additional affordably - priced housing in furtherance of the
policies of the Housing Element of the General Plan.
7. Environmental Assessment
Staff has found that no substantial environmental impact will
result from the proposed development; therefore, a Negative
Declaration has been prepared and is on file in the Community
Development Department.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration, the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2247:

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
J
FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Zone Change - Case No. 88098
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Proposal
The City of Lynwood is proposing to prepare a zone change for the
11000 and 12000 blocks of Wilson Avenue.
The proposal is to change the zone from R -3 to an R -2
classification, thus bringing both the Zoning Map and the General
Plan Map into conformity and reflecting current development trends.
Background
In recent months, the Planning staff has discovered a number of
permit applications that have an inconsistent designation between
the Zoning Map and General Plan Map. California State Planning Law
prohibits development in areas where the zoning classification is
inconsistent with the General Plan. Therefore, before approving
any development permits, the inconsistency must be corrected.
There is one application on hold in the Planning Division located
in this area, which cannot be processed because of the
inconsistency issue.
Discussion
The subject area is surrounded by the following Zoning
classifications, General Plan designations and land uses:
Surrounding
Zoning General Plan Land Uses
North - R -3 Cluster Housing Single - Family/
Mixed Residential
South - R -1 Single - Family Single - Family/
Mixed Residential
East - R -3
Cluster Housing
Single - Family/
Mixed Residential
West - R -2/R -3
Cluster Housing
Single - Family/
Mixed Residential
Staff has surveyed the subject area and hcts observed the existence
of a development trend ranging from single - family, to duplexes and
multi - family apartment units. As there is a mixture of land uses
in the subject area and surrounding areas, and the I -105 Freeway
will be constructed to the north, with commercial to the west, and
additional residential intensity at the level of an R -3 zoning
classification cannot be carried by the existing infra - structure,
staff recommends down zoning the zoning classification from R -3
(Multi - Family Residential) to R -2 (Two- Family Residential) to
reflect the General Plan designation of Townhouse and Cluster
Housing for the area.
DISK 41:880982C
Y
A4.
After an initial efironmental assessment, it as been determined
that there will not be an environmental impact on the area, and the
proposed zone change has been given a Negative Declaration pursuant
to requirements of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended.
The proposed zone chang$ was published in the Lynwood Press on
November 23rd, 1988, and pablic hearing noticies were mailed to the
property owners involved in the proposed reclassification as well
as property owners surrounding the subject area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2252:
1. Finding that the proposed zone change, Case No. 88098, will not
have a significant effect on the environment, and certify the
Negative Declaration as adequate (Resolution No. 2252).
2. Recommend adoption of the zone change for Case No. 88098 to the
City Council.

inconsistent with the General Plan designation.
B. The subject area is not desirable for multi - family
development due to street size and the land uses of the

r
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION Ci,iSE N0.
FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
Community Developement Department
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment - Case No. 88099
Applicant: City of Lynwood
Proposal
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment for the 3600 and
3700 blocks of Platt Avenue. Basically, this request is meant to
redesignate the area from Single - Family
Townhouse and Cluster Housing (R -2) in
existing inconsistency between the General
Zoning Map classification as a reflection
development trends.
Background
Residential (R -1) to
order to correct an
Plan designation and
of current planning
In recent months, the Planning Division staff has discovered a
number of permit applications that have inconsistencies between
the Zoning Map and General Plan Map. Since California State
Planning Law prohibits development in areas where the Zoning
classification is inconsistent with the General Plan designation,
it is imperative that before approving any development permits,
the inconsistency must first be corrected.
Discussion
For the area under review, the Zoning classification is R -2 (Two -
Family Residential) while the General Plan designation is Single -
Family Residential. As a result of this inconsistency, the City
staff would like to redesignate the General Plan Map to Townhouse
and Cluster Housing in order to ,establish compatability and
consistency between the General Plan Map and Zoning Map.
Many reasons could be propounded in support of this General Plan
Amendment. The most important is that in observance of a sound
planning practice for residential developments, the General Plan
designation for the area in question should range from Single -
Family Residential to Touwnhouse and Cluster Housing then to
Multi- Family Residential. Staff has surveyed the subject area
and observed that although it is designated for Single - Family
Residential, actual land uses are a mixture of single - family
homes and duplex developments. Further, the existing
infrastructure is sufficient to accomodate the limited additional
development that might occur due to the proposed General Plan
Amendment.
The
subject
area is surrounded
by the following zoning
classifications,
General Plan designations
and land uses:

mailed to the property owners involved in the proposed
redesignation as well as property owners surrounding the subject
areas.
Recommendation
Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2249:
1. Finding that the proposed General Plan Amendment 88 -3, Case
No. 88099, will not have a significant effect on the

Staff finds
no negative outcome on the proposed redesignation as
there is consistency
and compatability between
the General Plan
designation
and .Zoning classification
among the surrounding
properties.
In light of the above, an
initial environmental
assessment
has been conducted and it has
been determined that
there will
not be an environmental
impact on the area.
Therefore,
the amendment has been given
a Negative Declaration
pursuant to
the requirements of the State

redesignation as well as property owners surrounding the subject
areas.

FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director
Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Sign Ordinance Amendment No. 2254
Regulating Freestanding Pole Signs City -wide
i
Proposal
The staff is proposing to amend Chapter 25, the Official Zoning
Ordinance : with respect to controlling construction of
freestanding pole signs City -wide.
Facts
The City of Lynwood has been plagued by excessive and confusing
visual pollution created by uncontrolled and unplanned signage.
Staff is in the process of attempting to correct and treat the
entire problem in a fair and equitable manner for its business
population. The proliferation of freestanding pole signs is an
area which needs immediate regulatory attention to avoid further
visual pollution and blight.
Recommendation
As of this date, the staff would like to re- evaluate the proposed
Amendment and its effects on City signage. Therefore, staff is
requesting that this item be continued to the City Planning
Commission's regularly scheduled meeting of January 10, 1988.
