Status of EI Farallon Restaurant and Dance Hall
3551 Martin Luther King ]r. Boulevard
Pursuant to City Council and City Manager direction, staff performed an inspection to
assess the status of the business, reference code requirements, and identify options
pertaining to the EI Farallon Restaurant and Dance Hall.
PROPERTY PROFILE
The subject business is located at 3551 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the CB-1
(Controlled Business) zone. The subject property is part of Lynwood Plaza, the triangular
shaped parcels bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the west; San Luis Avenue
to the east; Abbott Road to the north; and Norton Avenue to the south. The property
totals 551,890 square feet or 12.67 acres in area. The subject business is located within
a multiple tenant structure and totals 14,778 square feet in area.
The business contains expansions contrary to the Lynwood Municipal Code and has a long
history of penal issues and police incident reports.
BACKGROUND
The subject restaurant and dance hall has a long history. Zoning, building and business
license records are not extensive and some details/records are not present. Following is a
brief summary of events based on available records and recent inspections:
1991
Hermelio Franco purchases an existing restaurant and dance hall. The business license is
a business owner transfer and the alcohol license was aperson-to-person transfer. At
that time, the business was located at the rear of the structure and was approximately
one-third of its present size.
1992
A building permit application was made by the applicant and issued by staff at the counter
to expand into other tenant spaces to the south at the rear of the building.
1995
A building permit application was made by the applicant and issued by staff at the counter
to expand west to the front of the building and provide access off Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard.
1999
The business owner submitted an application for a conditional use permit to expand the
existing restaurant and dance hall. Later the application was determined to be in violation
of code requirements, was rejected, and the filing fee refunded.
H:\WORDFILE`,PLAVIIT\G ST.4FFRPTmemo.elfarallon.Status.doc
~mC./tt. ,
°r
March 13, 2001
The Lynwood Planning Commission approves a zone change from CB-1 (Controlled
Business) to C-3 (Heavy Commercial} and a Conditional Use Permit to allow an expansion
of 2,890 square feet that would provide a total area of 17,818 square feet.
May 15, 2001
The City Council denied Zone Change No. 2000-03 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-
31 became moot. The applicant presently continues to operate the restaurant and dance
hall and serve alcohol without a conditional use permit; and continue to provide live
entertainment without City Council approval of a permit for such use.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
On September 19, 2001, City of Lynwood and Los Angeles County staff members
performed a multiple department inspection of the premises. The inspection team
included representatives from Planning, Building & Safety, Code Enforcement, Fire
Department and Health Department. Following is a brief summary:
• The fire department did not note any violations at the time but requested the
business owner to submit his five (5) year fire sprinkler testing report and a copy
of the approved fire sprinkler plans.
• The Code Enforcement Division noted an unauthorized sign and poorly maintained
signs.
• The Health Department said no violations were present.
• Building and Safety violations include unauthorized partition walls and illegal
electrical wiring on the stage.
• Zoning violations pertain to expansion of a nonconforming business contrary to
LMC requirements. City records do not contain approval of a conditional use
permit for a dance hall or alcoholic beverages or City Council approval of a live
entertainment permit.
To summarize, it appears that the primary issues with the business pertain to zoning
entitlements and penal code issues. LMC Section 3-13.3(0) defines a public nuisance as
"the violation of a provision of the Land Use Regulations as set forth in Chapter 25 of this
Code, as amended."
By current LMC standards, a dance hall is permitted in the C-3 zone subject to a
conditional use permit; alcohol sales require a conditional use permit; and live
entertainment requires permit approval by the City Council. The business owner does not
have a CUP or live entertainment permit. The business currently has four (4) active
business licenses.
At the time the business was purchased, it appeared to be a legal nonconforming
business. The former business was operating as a restaurant with a dance hall area in
the rear of the building with no access from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The
Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) does not permit expansion of nonconforming structures or
land uses but does permit continuation of such uses. Expansion of such a land use would
require such use to conform to present code requirements. The business owner recently
attempted to meet current LMC standards by applying for a zone change and conditional
use permit.
H:.VJORDFILE'PLAV\INGSTAFFRPTmemo.ellarallon.stams.doc 2
The two (2) structural expansions in 1992 and 1995 were done so, over the counter
without a properly issued conditional use permit. Business licenses have been issued
annually for the past ten (10) years.
OPTIONS
It appears that the City Council has a number of options in addressing this situation.
Following is a brief summary:
1) Determine that the business is a public nuisance and initiate nuisance abatement
proceedings. Attached is a copy of LMC Section 3-13 that sets forth abatement
procedures and findings. The City Attorney's Office should be consulted to
research and provide legal advice.
2) Determine that the expansion entitlements for zoning and building were given in
error and/or improperly obtained in violation of the LMC, rescind such entitlements
and close the business. The City Attorney's Office should be consulted to research
and provide legal advice.
3) Wait for the business license to expire on January 1, 2002, and require any
application for business license renewal to come before the City Council for review.
4) Require the property owner to submit another Conditional Use Permit and Zone
Change application to legalize the existing operation.
5) Determine the business is nonconforming and do not initiate enforcement actions.
6) Determine that a revocation of the business license is appropriate. Attached is a
copy of LMC Section 4-9 that sets forth revocation procedures and findings. The
City Attorney's Office should be consulted to research and provide legal advice.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council consider the business status, consider
the history of issues, consider LMC standards and requirements, request the City Attorney
to research and advise, direct staff on a desired course of action at a future meeting.

3-13 LYNWOOD CITY CODE
3-13 NUISANCES:
3-fl3.I lPu>ipose And Intent: The purpose of this Section is to provide for the
abatement of hazardous, uns;,nitary or unsightly conditions which affect the life, limb, health,
property, safety and welfare of tl,c general public in such a way as to constitute a nuisance,
and is based upon the following fit,dings:
a. The City has a history and reputation of well-kept properties, and the property
values and the general welfare of this co,Timunity are founded, in part, upon the appearance
and maintenance of property.
b. There is a need for further emphasis on the mainten;Z,.,ce of a number of premises
because conditions hereafter described have been found from place to place throughout the
City.
c. These conditions are injurious and inimical to the public health, safety and
welfare of residents of this City and require substantially €,-eater protection against hazards and
diminution of property values, prevention of crime and the pi•eservatio,t of public health, safety
and welfare and maintenance of police, fire and accident protection. These problems a,•e
becoming increasingly direct and substantial in significance and effect, and the uses and abuses
of lu•op~rty reasonably relate to the proper exercise of tl,e police power in the protection of
health, safety and welfare of public.
d. Unless corrective mea;;ures are undertaken to alleviate these conditions and
particularly to avoid future problems in this regard, tt,c public health, s,.tfety and l;eneral
welfare and the property values a~,cl ;octal and economic levels ~~f the community wil] be
advr;r>:ety affected. The abatement of these condition:: will enhance the apl~.;arance and value
of properties rather than be a burden on the owners, and the abatement of such conditions will
also appreciate the values and appearance of neighboring properties and benefit use and

Re: Contract Services
Dear Ms. Wolf;
I would like to offer my services to the City of Lynwood in assisting with the
coordination for the development of partnerships between the City of Lynwood and
licensed childcare centers in the area.
Over the years I have provided administrative services to daycare centers in Los
Angeles County. These services included the development of daycare centers to providing
ongoing administration. As you know I have provided these services for Domino's Nursery
Center, Ina anon-profit organization. I have searched out locations, negotiated
agreements, secured 5nances, and managed daycare centers for 16 years. I have secure
several government contract funding sources. I have developed educational programs in
compliance with state requirements. I have conferred with Federal, State, Schools, and
other officials to develop programs and establish guidelines. I have set up vocational
training programs and secured contracts to provide on the job training to parents on the
Cat Works program (see resume).
I propose to assist the city with the development of partnerships with licensed
childcare centers including locating suitable sites, negotiating terms, searching and securing
finances, and providing necessary administrative services.
I will provide these services as a consultant for a fee of $30,000 per year. This fee
computes to $29.00 per hour at the rate of 86 hours per month. If additional services are
needed such as preparing the center for licensing approvals, providing administrative
services for acquiring license, staffing, or monitoring the facility, additional hours will be
required. Fees will be due and payable the end of each month. A retainer of $2,500 is
requested upon commencement.
Looking forward to working with you and the City of Lynwood in providing
additional childcare centers for the community.
Sincerely,
