SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-02
2801 Lynwood Road
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission:
1. CONDUCT a public hearing and receive public testimony.
2. ADOPT Resolution No. 3423 thereby. approving Conditional Use Permit No.
2021-02
Background:
Duke Realty, LP/Polynt Composites USA, Incorporated (hereafter, "Applicant") has
submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") to establish, use and
maintain a 139 stall truck container storage facility. The subject site consists of 4.6
acres and will maintain 183,930 square feet of paved area. The property is located at
2801 Lynwood Road in the M (Manufacturing) Zone. The subject site is located on the
north side of Lynwood Road between N. Alameda Street and Bellinger Street.
A demolition (Permit No. B-008246) permit was issued on June 4, 2018 removing all on-
site structure consisting of 32,851 square feet.
The property is presently vacant and is not utilized for any use at this time. The site has
development constraints associated with contaminated soil that would require
remediation (or the clean-up) of site's soil in compliance with County of Los Angeles,
State of California and U.S. Federal Government guidelines. As a result, the most
suitable use for the subject site is in-line with Applicant's submitted proposal.

Discussion:
Project Description
The applicant is proposing a truck container storage facility consisting of 139 on-site
stalls. Ingress and egress for the proposed project will occur from Lynwood Road.
Further, all traffic routes will proceed west of the site towards N. Alameda Street. The .
project complies with the City of Lynwood's landscape requirements. The existing metal
tube fencing will remain and will be maintained to City standards. As conditioned, the
parking area will be illuminated in-line with City requirements. The site will install. a
swing, metal gate that will be electronically operated either automatically or manually.
The proposed truck container storage facility is a permitted use with the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission.
The City of Lynwood's Truck Route designations are indicated below and provided for
the Planning Commission's consideration.

Traffic Impact Considerations
The Applicant will provide a Trip Generation Memorandum by a EOD for the Planning
Commission's consideration confirming that the increase number of traffic trips will
negligible along Lynwood Road to the south and N. Alameda Street to the west.
2 .
•
Conclusions
Staff is in support the applicant's request with all ingress and egress exclusively from
Lynwood Road. Furthermore, trucks and/or trucks with trailers must only be permitted to
arrive and leave the site from N. Alameda Street. Truck activity must not originate or
proceed east of the subject site from the Lynwood Road entrance. Staff also required
the Applicant provide a Trip Generation Memo by a traffic engineer.
Environmental Determination
The proposed Project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 In-fill Development
Projects and meets all of the required conditions (a)-(e) set forth under Section 15332 of
the California Code of Regulations because the Project is consistent with the applicable
general plan designation and policies as well as applicable zoning designation and
regulations; the proposed Project occurs within City limits on a project site measuring
approximately 4.6 acres and surrounded by existing urban uses; the Project site
consists is currently a vacant and fully paved and has no value for endangered, rare, or
threatened species; approval of the Project would not result in significant effects relating
to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; the Project site can be served by all required
utilities and public services; and the Project does not trigger the exceptions set forth
under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA guidelines.
Municipal Code Requirements
Per Section 25-130-5 of the Lynwood Municipal Code, the Planning Commission can
only approve a CUP if it finds the following true:
A. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan;
The subject site is zoned M (Manufacturing) with a General Plan designation of
Manufacturing as well. The zone permits truck container storage facilities with an
approved Conditional Use Permit. The relationship between the subject specific
plan and municipal code are consistent with the City of Lynwood General Plan.
Goal LU-3 of the City's General has set a goal that industrial uses must enhance
the employment base of Lynwood through the provision of adequate lands
dedicated to industrial uses. The proposed use serves the intent of this goal as
the project provides is creating a viable industrial use from land that is presently
not serving the public or commerce in any manner. Permitting the proposed truck
•
container storage facility would increase commerce activity and likely provide
more employment opportunities for Lynwood residents for trucking services and
the local delivery of products to market. As such, based upon the above findings,
the subject conditional use permit is consistent with the Lynwood General Plan.
3
B. That the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and
structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be
materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures;
Imposing the recommended 'conditions of approval for the proposed truck
container storage facility would result in an approval and use that will not be
materially detrimental to any adjacent uses, buildings, or structures in the
immediate vicinity of the subject site. These safeguards will set in-place
conditions of approval listed within CUP No. 2021-02 that will run with land. A
visual survey was completed wherein it was determined that the proposed use
will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to any adjacent buildingor
structure as the proposed truck container storage facility will be consistent with
surrounding development.
The proposed use is further safeguarded by the fact that the approved project will
be required to complete on-going inspections by the Public Safety Division and
other state and federal agencies. These city, state and federal entities will ensure
compliance 'with all their respective government codes. Furthermore, the
proposed truck container storage facility will be reviewed by and require approval
from the Los Angeles County Fire Department to ensure compliance with all
current fire protection codes as well. The 'applicant will provide site security and
be required to maintain the site free of graffiti as the CUP includes a condition
that any graffiti placed within the control of the operator be abated and painted to
match the existing surroundings within 24 hours its placement. The operator will
also be required to ensure that no loitering occurs, at any time, to preserve a
positive image of the community.
Similarly, the newly developed site meets all the development standards required
of truck container storage facilities as prescribed by the zoning code: The
proposed use will add safety to the surrounding area aslighting and security
cameras will be installed throughout the site.
The recommended conditions of approval required by the Planning Division, in
conjunction with the safeguardsdescribed above, have been developed and are
intended to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to the adjacent uses and
operational activities not, adversely affects pr be materially detrimental to
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to
accommodate theuse and buildings proposed;
The subject property is sufficient in size and shape' to accommodate 'the
conditionally permitted truck container storage facility. The subject project's site
is approximately 4.6 acres in size and the proposed use will establish and
maintain 139 truck trailer stalls. .
4
The proposed truck container trailer storage design meets on-site circulation
requirements and will improve egress and ingress to the entire property in
compliance with all City Engineer requirements.
The proposed use will serve the applicant's business needs and.a demand in the
industry market well served by the proposed use and provide an important
service to local and surrounding population.
The subject site is well suited for the development of the proposed project due
heavy manufacturing zone and designation. In contrast, the subject site is not
appropriate for commercial or any near future residential uses. As such, the
proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses, supports the existing
character of the area, and serves the needs of those who live, work, and visit the
local manufacturing zoned area and compatible uses.
D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zoning district; and
The proposed conditional use application for a truck container storage facility is
a straight forward use that operates in compliance with the city's manufacturing
development standards. The proposed conditional use requests have been.
analyzed and staff has determined that the proposed use meets all applicable
development standards established by the City's zoning code. The project has
also imposed conditions will ensure that operation will complement the existing
adjacent uses. subject to the review, revision and final approval by the Planning
Commission.
Based upon the supporting facts, a finding is confirmed in the positive that the
proposed conditional use application requests comply with all applicable
development ' .standards associated with site's underlying zoning and
requirements and development standards.
E. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this zoning
code;
The project proposes to develop a truck container storage facility use or an
overflow area in observance with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code. The
project site is presently a vacant and presently paved land. The proposed new
truck container storage facility use will be consistent and in greater observance
with zoning code regulations and the spirit and intent of the zoning code. Some
of the more compliant aspects of the project include the 'creation and
development of an more attractive streetscape that upgrades the site in
compliance with the goals and objectives of the Lynwood Zoning Code. .
As such, the proposed conditional use will result in a project that observes the
spirit and intent of the City's zoning code.

advertised public hearing to receive oral and written testimony related to Conditional Use
Permit No. 2021-02; and
WHEREAS, the Lynwood Planning Commission has sufficiently considered all
testimony presented to them in order to make the following determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City
of Lynwood as follows:
SECTION 1. The Lynwood Planning Commission hereby finds and determines as
follows:
A. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan;
1
The subject site is zoned M (Manufacturing) with a General Plan designation of
Manufacturing as well. The zone permits truck container storage facilities with an
approved Conditional Use Permit. The relationship between the subject specific
plan and municipal code are consistent with the City of Lynwood General Plan.
Goal LU-3 of the City's General has set a goal that industrial uses must enhance
the. employment base of Lynwood cthrough the provision of adequate lands
dedicated to industrial uses. The proposed use serves the intent of this goal as the
project provides is creating a viable industrial use from land that is presently not
serving the public or commerce in any manner. Permitting the proposed truck
container storage facility would increase commerce activity and likely provide more
employment opportunities for Lynwood residents for trucking services and the local
delivery of products to market. As such,,based upon the above findings, the subject
conditional use permit is consistent with the Lynwood General Plan.
B. That the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and
structures have beenconsidered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be
materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures;
Imposing the recommended conditions of approval for the proposed truck
container storage facility would result in an approval and use that will not be
materially detrimental to any adjacent uses, buildings, or structures in the
immediate vicinity of the subject site. These safeguards will set in-place conditions
of approval listed within CUP No. 2021-02 that will run with land. A visual survey
was completed wherein it was determined that the proposed use will not adversely
affect or be materially detrimental to any adjacent building or structure as the
proposed truck container storage facility will be consistent with surrounding
development.
The proposed use is further safeguarded by the fact that the approved project will
be required to complete on-going inspections by the Public Safety Division: and
other state and federal agencies. These city, state and federal entities will ensure
compliance with all their respective government codes. Furthermore, the proposed

protection codes as well. The applicant will provide site security and be required
to maintain the site free of graffiti as the CUP includes a condition that any graffiti
• placed within the control of the operator be abated and painted to match the
existing surroundings within 24 hours its placement. The operator will also be
required to ensure that no loitering occurs, at any time, to preserve a positive image
of the community.
Similarly, the newly developed site meets all the development standards required
of truck container storage facilities. as prescribed by the zoning code. . The
proposed use will add safety to the surrounding area as lighting and security
cameras will be installed throughout the site.

The recommended conditions of approval required by-the Planning Division, in
conjunction with the safeguards described above, have been developed and are
intended to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to the .adjacent uses and
operational activities not adversely affects or be materially detrimental to adjacent
uses, buildings, or structures.
C. .That the site for theproposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to
accommodate the use and buildings proposed;
The subject property is sufficient in. size and shape to accommodate the
conditionally permitted-truck container storage facility. The subject project's site is
approximately 4.6 acres in size and the proposed use will establish and maintain
139 truck trailer stalls.
The proposed truck container storage facility design meets on-site circulation
requirements and will improve ,egress andingress to the entire property in
compliance with all City Engineer requirements.
The proposed use will serve the applicant's business needs and a demand in the
industry market well served by the proposed use and provide an important service
to local and surrounding population.
The subject site is well suited for the development of the proposed project due
heavy manufacturing zone and designation. In contrast, the subject site is not
appropriate for commercial or any near future residential uses. As such, the
proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses, supports the existing
character of the area, and serves the-needs of those who live, work, and visit the
local manufacturing zoned area and compatible uses.
D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zoning district; and

straight forward use that operates. in compliance with the city's manufacturing
development standards. The proposed conditional use requests have been
analyzed and staff has determined that the proposed use meets all applicable
development standards established by the City's zoning code. The project has also
imposed conditions will ensure that operation will complement the existing
adjacent uses subject to the review, revision and final approval by the Planning
Commission.
Based upon the supporting facts, a finding is confirmed in the positive that the
proposed conditional use application requests comply with all applicable
development standards associated with site's underlying zoning and requirements
and development standards.
3
•
E. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this zoning
code;
The project proposes to develop a truck container storage facility use or an
overflow area in observance with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code. The
project site is presently a vacant and presently paved land. The proposed new
truck container storage facility use will be consistent and in greater observance
with zoning code regulations and the spirit and intent of the zoning code. Some of
the more compliant aspects of the project include the creation and development of
an more attractive streetscape that upgrades the site in compliance with the goals
and objectives of the Lynwood Zoning Code.

and intent of the City's zoning code.

LYNWOOD,CALIFORNIA 90262
(310)603-0220
DATE: June 8, 2021
TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Michelle Ramirez, Director of Community Development
Karen Figueredo, Planning Associate
SUBJECT: 11619 Atlantic Avenue
Mural
APPLICANT: John Drake
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the mural as proposed.
Background:
The applicant, John Drake, has submitted an application for a mural at property located
at 11619 Atlantic Avenue. The property is 21,903 sq. ft. in area and is composed of a
liquor store, a budget store and a laundry mat business. The proposed mural of
Mexican painter Frida Kahlo will be located on the Northwest side of the building off
Cortland Street (Bubblymat Laundry).
Discussion:
Currently, the Lynwood Municipal Code Section 25-70-3 (c) requires the review of murals
not used for advertising, by the Planning Commission.
Review of a mural prior to installation is crucial. A definition of a mural could be "painting
applied to and made integral with the surface of a wall or ceiling". Murals are considered
artistic expressions not used for advertising purposes. Murals generally do not include
numbers, letters, products or services-provided at the location. A mural does not provide
facts.
1
It is difficult to limit the size or number of murals as they are artistic expressions. A mural
generally encompasses an entire wall or large portion of the wall as opposed to signs that
are installed in a limited area. An artist expression may include more than one mural on
more than one surface.
The proposed Mural is by artist muralist Erick (Sparc) Guadarrama based in the City of
Long Beach, dimensions are 17'-3" in height by 21' long for a total 362.25 sq. ft. and will
have a pink/purple background, with flowers and a portrait of Mexican painter Frida
Kahlo.
