April 8, 2008 The Lynwood Planning Commission met in regular session in the City Hall Council Chambers. Chair Castro-Ramirez called the meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. Vice Chair West led the flag salute. Chair Castro-Ramirez requested the roll call. Director of Development Services Colin called roll. Commissioners Hutcherson, Wells, Patel, Younger, West and Castro-Ramirez answered the roll call. Commissioner Landeros was absent. Also present were Director of Development Services Jonathan Colin, Planning Associate Harden Carter, Planning Assistant Karen Figueredo, Administrative Analyst Kimberly Gonzalez, Public Works Civil Engineering Associate Josef Kekula, Development Services Intern Jose Sanchez and Planning Commission Counsel Douglas Haubert.

Item #5 Minutes March 11, 2008 Chair Castro-Ramirez announced agenda #5, Minutes of March 11, 2008, Planning Commission meeting. Motion by Commissioner Younger to approve the March 11, 2008 Minutes, seconded by Vice Chair West. Chair Castro-Ramirez requested a roll call and the motion passed by general consensus. Item #6 Swearing in Speakers Chair Castro-Ramirez requested City Clerk Quinonez swear in citizens wishing to speak on any Agenda Item. Item #7: Public Orals NONE Item #9: Lynwood Municipal Co~_Parkin9 Requirements Director of Development Services Colin stated that the Planning Division received a request from Mr. Ted Chan to present this item to the Planning Commission. The purpose of this item is to have the Planning Commission review the current parking requirements. Director Colin reminded the Commission to keep in mind that the minimum current standards apply to any proposed additions or any substantial modifications to any existing land uses or structures. The Zoning Code changed and the General Plan was updated in 2003, followed by a code amendment to upgrade the Zoning Code in 2005 and then in 2006. In 2006, staff brought back the item for review by the Planning Commission after a year of utilizing it staff identified numerous things that needed to be tuned up a little. For example, Lynwood Municipal Code Section 25- 65-1 was amended to reflect residential parking to three car garages for four or more bedrooms. There was also a modification to require a minimum of 400 sq. ft. dimensions for two car garages. Chair Castro-Ramirez stated that her fellow Commissioners had an opportunity to review the report and asked if anyone had a specific question for staff. Commissioner Landeros arrived at 6:40 p.m. Director of Development Services Colin stated that staff's recommendation is to hear from the Commission and determine if they would like to have the parking requirements modified. Chair Castro-Ramirez questioned if LMC Section 25-65-6 applies to new construction only. Director of Development Services Colin stated that if there is an existing house that has 3 bedrooms and they want to add a new bedroom, then the requirement for a three car garage is triggered. If this is a new development of three bedrooms or less, the project will require a two car garage, and if it is a new development of four bedrooms or more, the project requires a three car garage. Chair Castro-Ramirez asked if anyone had a specific recommendation. Vice Chair West stated that everything is fine at this point. Commissioner Hutcherson stated that she was comfortable with it. Chair Castro-Ramirez stated that she thought this code was adopted on February 16, 2006 or a little over two years. Chair Castro- Ramirez opened the public hearing. Ted Chan 952 W. Katella Ave. Anaheim, Ca. 92804 stated that he concurred with the parking requirements and passed out a handout to the commission pertaining to item no. 9. He stated that there will be a decrease of homes in the City of Lynwood and it is due to the fact that in order to convert multi family buildings to condos, they have to decrease the number of units that are for sale just to satisfy the parking requirements. Adolf Lopez 11431 Plum St. Lynwood, Ca. 90262 stated that the reason he was there tonight was because he lives in a neighborhood that has been negatively impacted by the parking. In his particular case, there were four homes that were built on his street, and that created seventeen cars in the street. There is no parking because there are huge amounts of families per house. The requirements for Lynwood are absolutely different than those in other cities. Chair Castro-Ramirez closed the public hearing. Motion by Commissioner Hutcherson to continue the Lynwood Municipal Code Parking Requirements as is, seconded by Commissioner Wells. Director of Development Services Colin called the roll call and the item passed by general consensus. Item #10: CUP No. 2008-02 Associate Planner Carter stated that Verizon Wireless, Inc. wants to relocate an unmanned wireless telecommunication facility at 5107 Josephine Street in the O-S Open Space zone. The project will also include a new 30 KW generic emergency backup generator with a 132 gallon diesel fuel tank mounted on a 5' x 8' concrete spill containment pad. (INAUDIBLE) Chair Castro-Ramirez opened the public hearing. Commissioner Hutcherson questioned what the use of the fuel tank which is included is for? Applicant Kim Shaves stated that she represents Verizon Wireless Inc. and that the fuel tank is for the emergency backup generator which is used in the event that there is a catastrophe. In fact, in the southern regions they have their backup diesel in case of fire compliance or a catastrophe. Chair Castro-Ramirez closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wells questioned the staff on Condition No. 14 upon abandonment of the property, the applicant should be required to pay for the removal of the structure. Civil Engineering Associate Kekula stated that at the last meeting they had with Verizon, City staff asked the applicant to have the area vacated and clean so that the city can conduct the grading operations. Once the grading is completed, the city would notify Verizon of the new location. Vice Chair West recommended a change in the wording on Condition No. 14, on page 4, from "may" to °will". Director of Development Services Colin stated that the city relocated Verizon from Atlantic Avenue to a temporary location towards the end of the Ham Park project. Once relocated to the new site, Verizon will be in charge of maintaining the site such as the landscaping, etc. Chair Ramirez-Castro recommended an additional change to Condition No. 14, and requested that staff change the wording to state "and may be removed" to "will be removed and restored by the City at the owner's expense". Planning Commission Counsel Haubert stated that his recommendation would be to keep the word "may" as it is because if you change the word to "shall" or "will", it will imply that the applicant doesn't have the responsibility to remove the pole but rather that the City has the responsibility. He stated that "may" allow the City to go to the applicant and say if you don't move the pole after non-use the city will at the applicants cost. He also stated that it was a good idea to clarify what is meant by removal of the pole at the City expense. Chair Castro-Ramirez requested a motion. Motion by Vice Chair West to approve Resolution No. 3207, seconded by Commissioner Younger. Chair Castro-Ramirez requested the roll call. Director of Development Services Colin called the roll call and the motion passed 6-0. Item #11 CUP NO. 2007-15 (Extension) Applicant Donald Chae Director of Development Services Colin stated the item is a request from Plaza Mexico to continue the use of a vacant lot for temporary parking. The parking lot consists of 392 parking stalls. The Planning Commission approved the use of the site pursuant to Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-15 on July 10, 2007. The resolution's conditions have been complied with except for Conditions No. 17, 18, 19, & 20. The DTSC inspection warrant was issued on February 8, 2008 with an expiration date of March 20, 2008. Staff considers that granting the extension will allow the DTSC to conduct the necessary research to the site to make any recommendations. Staff recommends approving aone- year extension which the Lynwood Municipal Code allows in order to grant the Conditional Use Permit for 2 years. Victor Gomez 3100 Imperial Hwy. Lynwood, Ca. 90262 spoke in favor of the extension and informed the commission why Plaza Mexico has not been able to comply with the remaining conditions. Commissioner Younger asked Mr. Gomez if he wanted a one year extension to realize Conditions No. 17, 18, 19, 20. Mr. Gomez stated that those conditions which are included in the CUP are in the process of being completed. However due to problems that Plaza Mexico has encountered with the adjacent property owners. He stated that Plaza Mexico had to go to the court to obtain a warrant in order to test the grounds. Without it, the DTSC would not let Plaza Mexico touch the ground at all. Chair Castro-Ramirez questioned what can Plaza Mexico do to enhance the aspect of the parking lot as it looks now? Mr. Gomez stated that they are maintaining the property on a daily basis, in order to keep it clean and that they have been conducting patch work as much as possible because there used to be potholes. Commissioner Landeros questioned how much it will take to clean the parking lot. Mr. Gomez stated that it will take from 8 months to 1 ~/z years. Commissioner Hutcherson questioned if he had any idea of the cost of the cleaning. Mr. Gomez stated that it will be about seven million dollars. Tanya Garcia 3100 Imperial Hwy. Lynwood, Ca. 90262 spoke in support of the extension request. Mr. Gomez stated that Plaza Mexico has conducted many activities to improve their sales to continue being competitive. Francisco Serrano 3100 Imperial Hwy. Lynwood, Ca. 90262 is the chief of security for Plaza Mexico and stated that the parking lot is a great benefit for Plaza Mexico. It's extremely important to approve this project because there is a lot of congestion especially on holidays. Chair Castro-Ramirez closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wells questioned staff on how long it will take to approve the DTSC? Civil Engineering Associate Kekula stated that it depends on how many samples they will provide. Chair Castro-Ramirez stated that this particular site they were discussing is basically a temporary use to ease and alleviate parking congestion at Plaza Mexico. Her understanding is, the developer in this case, Plaza Mexico is very interested in moving forward with Phase 2 of the project and obtaining resolutions on contaminations to be able to start the remediation of the soil. Commissioner Wells stated that in Condition No. 9 there is a double negative and requested that staff remove one of the double negatives. Motion by Landeros to approve Resolution 3208 approving an extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-15, seconded by Commissioner Patel. Chair Castro-Ramirez requested the roll call. Director of Development Services Colin called roll call and the motion passed 6-0. Commission Orals Commissioner Younger congratulated Director Colin and welcomed the new Planner. This morning there was a terrible accident were there was an assessment to change the lights. Commissioner Wells thanked staff for great communication this pass week. Commissioner Patel stated that she would like to thank staff and Director Colin for all the emails. Commissioner Landeros questioned Director of Development Services Colin in regards to the best time to contact him. Director of Development Services Colin stated that a-mails work better. (INAUDIBLE) Director of Development Services Colin stated that Karen, our Planning Assistant, is the one that deals with the banner permits and apparently they do not have permits, so staff from Business License will go and knock on their door. Chair Castro-Ramirez stated that Director Colin is attempting to provide the commission with communication and would like information regarding training to be brought at the next meeting. Staff Orals Director of Development Services Colin stated that for the next Planning Commission Meeting there will be seven items, so he will email the Commissioners with a brief description items that are reviewed at the site plan review committee.
