WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lynwood, pursuant to law,
conducted a public hearing on .lanuary :[1, 2005 and denied Conditional Use Permit No.
2004-39; and
WHEREAS, the Lynwood City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing
regarding Appeal No. 2005-01 on February 15, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the Lynwood City Council has carefully considered all public oral and
written testimony offered at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Department has determined that the project
is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality ACt Pursuant to
section 15301 (a). The project may have significant impacts on properties in the area
to include but not be limited to traffic, parking, noise, light, glare, and air quality.
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Lynwood hereby finds and determines as
follows:
That the granting of the proposed Conditional Use Permit will adversely
affect the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use Designation is
Commercial and that is consistent with a C-3 (Heavy Commercial) zoning.
The General Plan calls for a variety of commercial, retail and services
establishments to serve the needs of the public. An over saturation of auto
uses is present of which the majority are poorly maintained with code
violations to include the subject property.
That the proposed location of the Conditional Use is not in accord with the
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the zone in which the
site is located. Auto repair and service establishments are permitted subject
to a conditional use permit and development standards. The property has
insufficient parking, insufficient vehicle access area, and no vehicle access
from Atlantic Avenue. A parking variance would be required.
That the proposed location of the Appeal and Conditional Use and the
conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed auto repair area is
adjacent to residential uses. The work area is insufficient in size that would
lead to outside work incompatible with citizens living and working in the
a rea.

That the proposed Conditional Use Permit does not comply with each of the
applicable development standards set forth in Lynwood Municipal Code
Section 25-16.15(d). The Lynwood Municipal Code requires a minimum of
one (1) parking stall per 250 square feet of building area. A minimum of
fifteen (15) parking stalls and only four (4) parking stalls are provided. In
addition, auto uses are required to be a minimum of 500 feet apart. Other
auto uses in the vicinity are closer than 500 feet. Landscaping is deficient.
Inspections of the subject property indicate that auto repair activities have
previously been conducted illegally without zoning entitlements, building
permits or business licenses.
Em
Access to the auto repair facility would be from the public alley only. The
alley is insufficient in width (20 feet) to accommodate fire department
emergency vehicles.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Lynwood hereby denies the proposed
project and denies Appeal No. 2005-01.
ADOPTED and DENIED at a regular meeting of the Lynwood City Council held
on the 15th day of ~_~:Z~.J~Z~.
