2. SCUTHERN V"ZIG?BORHCCD SPECI7IC PLAIN
The existing reSidences East of Avalon presently represent
nonconforming land uses (being located in a Light Manu; acturirng
Zone).
These residences are in various states of deterioration.
iI waver, residents of the area have indicated a desire to remain
and rehabilitate their properties. Accordingly, the Specific Plan
recommends that the land use (and zoning of th4 s area be chanced
to residential, to permit new residential development arC encourace
private rehabilitation. Cc..=ercial uses shall remain alorc the
Avalon and Sepu.iveda frontaces, and shall include the adjoining
parking lots for the proposed restaurant under construction at the
southeast corner of Avalon Blvd. and Pacific Street.
A substantial number of the proposed new housing units
would be developed on properties now occupied by substsndard dwell-
ing urns, while others would be constructed on vacant and u.:developed
land. The develcar.�ent of new housing would be within that area
generally bounded by Sepulveda Boulava.rd, Fries Avenue, Bonds Street,
and Avalon Boulevard.
Proposed new -residential uses will consist og single
family residences, with densities of 8_ dwelling units per acre.
All other existing housing would be retained and brought
um to standard under an area -wide rehab iIitation program. Seat
accuisition and clearance of structures may be necessary to eliminate
those properties which are infeasible a- rehabi+itatio*+.
All existina cc=nercial uses along Sepulveda 3culevard
and the east side of Avalon Boulevard are retained, with -,U, except -
.an of an automobile 'bcdv and Lender shcp :which representan
objectionable and ncnccnforsiing land use. The land use :tan rrc
ammends the relocation of all Cc..r,=erCial and industrial areas
along t.:"?e :western side o Avalon BOMevard between Lincoln and Bonds

In addition, there are several existing nonconforming
land uses on Sepulveda Blvd. that must buffer their
operation to avoid having detri.'nental influences upon
