SUBJECT: JOINT PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE
PROPOSED CHILDCARE/JOB TRAINING CENTER WITH
DOMINO NURSERY CENTER, INC. ON THE AGENCY OWNED
SITES AT ATLANTIC AVENUE AND JOSEPHINE AVENUE.
Pur ose:
To conduct a joint public hearing between the Lynwood City Council (the "City") and
the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") on a request to consider approval
of a Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the Agency and
Domino's Nursery Center, Inc. ("Development") for the development of a child care
center and a job training facility.
Facts:
On January 29, 2001 staff received a request for rehabilitation assistance from
Domino's Nursery Center, Inc. for a site on Imperial Highway. This site
subsequently burned down do to a vagrant population occupying the building.
Because of this fire damage on February 2, 2001, Domino's did not close
escrow.
2. On February 28, 2001 staff received a proposal to construct a childcare
development center and job training/development center on two Agency owned
properties across the street from each other at the corner of Atlantic and
Josephine Avenues, adjacent to the I-105 freeway.
3. In April staff presented this project to the Redevelopment Committee. At that
time the Committee and the Executive Director of the Agency directed Staff and
the Agency's Attorney to draft a Disposition and Development Agreement. The
Redevelopment Committee will review the Draft DDA on Thursday, May 10,
2001, however at the writing of this report that recommendation is not known.
4. The Agency will have the opportunity to review the concept of this proposal on
Monday, May 14, 2001. Again, at the writing of this report the recommendation
is not known.
Summary:
The proponent is proposing to construct two separate building on the excess
CalTrans property the Agency owns adjacent to the freeway to the south of the 1-
105 on Atlantic Avenue. On the east comer the proposal shows a 4,214 square
foot building which will house the Job Training Facility. The construction cost for
this building is anticipated to be $514,639. The second building is proposed on the
west side of Atlantic Avenue to house the Child care facility. This building is
anticipated to cost $760,461. The total construction proposed is $1,275,100.
Domino's Nursery Center, Inc. has secured financing for 60% of the project. The
proponent is requesting that the Agency sell them the sites for $1.00 each and
finance the remaining 40% of the cost of construction or $510,041.00. (Proposal
attached)
H:/WORDFILE/REDEV/SWOLF/domino's nursery DDA
eaExve rrssa j
~~
The attached DRAFT Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)
contemplates selling the sites to Domino's Nursery Center, Inc. for $1.00 each and
financing with a low interest loan the remaining construction cost, approximately
$510,000.00. Although the Agency has committed most of the Redevelopment Tax
Increment funds to other project, staff has been looking into the possibility of
reprogramming the funds from the Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program as a
funding source for this project.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests that the City Council and Agency open the Public
Hearing and continue the Public Hearing to the next regular meeting.

WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LYNWOOD
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND DOMINO'S NURSERY
CENTER, INC. FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD CARE

existing residential, commercial and industrial areas to viable centers serving
community and regional needs, and (3) stimulate and attract private investment
thereby improving the City's economic health, employment opportunities and tax
base; and
WHEREAS, the 1980 EIR addresses the environmental impacts of the
development pursuant to the proposed DDA; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has prepared an Initial Study and found and
determined that a subsequent EIR is not needed because none of the following
condition of Section 15162 of Guidelines for the Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA Guidelines") has occurred:
Subsequent changes are proposed in the project which will require
important revisions to the 1980 EIR due to the involvement of new
significant impacts not considered in the 1980 EIR; and
Substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances
unci,:r the project was undertaken due to the involvement of the
new significant impacts not covered in the 1980 EIR; and
New information of substantial importance to the project has
become available.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Lynwood City Council hereby resolves as
follows:
e tion 1. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA is
covered by the 1980 EIR which serves as the Final Environmental Impact Report
for the entire Amendment, which Amendment constitutes the "Project".
e tin 2. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA was
considered in the 1980 EIR as part of the Project.
tion 3. The 1980 EIR was considered prior to the approval of the DDA.
The Agency hereby finds: the redevelopment pursuant to the proposed DDA is
within the scope of the 1980 Amendment previously approved; the effects of the
redevelopment pursuant to the proposed Final Environmental Impact Report
H:/WORDFILE/REDEV/SWOLF/domino's nursery DDA
`„~ "'^
together with all other development. All feasible mitigation measures and
alternatives developed in the previous Final Environmental Impact Report for the
Project are incorporated in this Development. No new information of substantial
importance to the Project has become available. The final Environmental Impact
report, therefore, is determined to be adequate to serve as the environmental
impact report for the Development and satisfies all the requirements of CEQA.
Section 4. Applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final
Environmental Impact Report have been incorporated into this Development,
which mitigate any potential significant environmental impacts thereof.
Section 5. The Final Impact Report incorporates certain mitigation
measures which are to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment,
and the Agency hereby adopts the following program for reporting and monitoring
the implementation of such mitigation measures pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21081.6:
A. The Developer selected by the Agency shall enter into an
Agreement with the Agency to submit all plans and specifications for the

SUB7ECT: General Plan Amendment No. 2000-02: Housing Element
PURPOSE
To conduct a public hearing in order to consider General Plan Amendment (GPA) No.
2000-02, to adopt a new Housing Element for Submission to the State Housing and
Community Development Department (HCD).
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Assembly Bill AB 1741, cities and counties were required to submit Housing
Elements to HCD no later than December 31, 2000. The Lynwood Planning Commission
approved GPA 2000-02 on October 10, 2000 and staff promptly forwarded the document
to HCD for review. On December 4, 2000, Planning Division staff received the comment
letter from HCD. The Housing Element was not certified and a list of revisions and
questions were provided to staff. The consultant and staff have addressed all concerns
identified by HCD. If approved by the City Council, the document will be forwarded back
to HCD. If certified by HCD, the City of Lynwood would be in full compliance and the
effects of Senate Bill SB910 would be "moot."
I. SUMMARY
The Housing Element includes development of 170 units as follows: (1) private
development (65 units), (2) emergency shelter (20 units), (3) RDA new development (60
units), (4) RDA senior (25 units); the rehabilitation of 700 residential units by (1) code
enforcement (600 units), and (2) HOME rehab (100 units), financing programs for housing
including (1) HOME mortgage (20 units), and (2) HOME purchase (10 units); the
conservation program (200 units); and housing programs for fair housing, public
information and annual review of the housing element.
II. INTRODUCTION
A. BACKGROUND
The Housing Element consists of the identification and analysis of existing and projected
housing needs as well as statements of goals, policies, and implementing strategies, for
the preservation, improvement, and development of housing within the City of Lynwood.
Section 65302(c) of the California Government Code requires every county and city in the
State to include a housing element as part of their adopted general plans. In stipulating
the content of this element, Article 10.6 of the Government Code indicates that the
element shall consist of "an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing
needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs
for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing." This legislation further
states that the element "shall identify adequate sites for housing, including rental housing,
factory-built housing, and mobile homes, and shall make adequat provision for
existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the communi~jr." AGE~~llA

Housing Element Staff Report
May 15, 2001

B. PURPOSE AND CONTENT
This updated housing element has been prepared in compliance with Section 53202(c)
and Article 10.6 of the Government Code. It examines the City of Lynwood's housing
needs as they exist today, and projects future housing needs. It sets forth statements of
community goals, objectives and policies concerning those needs, and it includes a
housing program that responds to current and future needs within the limitations posed
by available resources. The housing program details a 5-year schedule of actions the
community is undertaking or plans to undertake to achieve its goals and objectives.
Upon its adoption by the Lynwood City Council, this updated housing element will serve
as a comprehensive statement of the City's housing policies and as a specific guide for
program actions to be taken in support of those policies.
State law recognizes that housing needs may exceed available resources and,
therefore, does not require that the City's quantified objectives be identical to the
identified housing needs. This recognition of limitations is critical during this period of
uncertainties in both the public and private sectors. Fiscal resources at all
governmental levels are limited and uncertain and the private marketplace is
undergoing substantial change. As a result, the methods for achieving the City of
Lynwood's objectives, or the ability to meet them at all, as stated today, may be less
relevant tomorrow or a year from tomorrow. Therefore, it is intended that this housing
element be reviewed annually and updated and modified not less than every 5 years in
order to remain relevant and useful to decision-makers, the private sector, and the
residents of the City.
It should be pointed out that State law explicitly indicates that the City of Lynwood is not
expected to spend any of its own funds carrying out the objectives of this Housing
Element. It is not the City's responsibility to guarantee or ensure that the housing units
that are needed to accommodate anticipated population growth are constructed. The
City's obligations under State law are to: 1) provide adequate, appropriately zoned sites
to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the
community; 2) eliminate any constraints to the private development of a supply of
housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community; and 3)
otherwise facilitate the actions required of the development industry in providing an
adequate supply of housing.
C. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER ELEMENTS AND PLANS
The California Government Code requires internal consistency among the various
elements of a general plan. Section 65300.5 of the Government Code states that the
general plan and the parts and elements thereof shall comprise an integrated and
internally consistent and compatible statement of goals. The update and ultimate
adoption of this Housing Element for the 5 year period of 2000-2005 will make the this
Housing Element Staff Report
May 15, 2001
Page 3
section of the City's General Plan current. City staff has reviewed the other elements of
the General Plan and has determined that this Housing Element is consistent therewith.
The City will maintain this consistency as future General Plan amendments are
processed by evaluating proposed amendments for consistency with all elements of the
General Plan.
D. PROPOSED PROJECT
The Housing Element consists of the following projects:
1. Private Development
Private developers are developing new single family homes for sale to
residents or those choosing to live in the City. These units are being sold in
the moderate income range at $180,000 to $190,000. Approximately 35
moderate homes will be developed over the next five years. Private
development multi-family will also be constructed. Thirty units will be
constructed in the planning period, for a total of 65 units during the next five
years.
2. Emergency Shelter
Investigate the feasibility of coordinating with other governmental entities,
non-profit agencies and private enterprise, for the purpose of acquiring and
retro-fitting an existing structure for use as "single room occupancy" housing
facility for the homeless and persons in need of emergency shelter. If
determined to be feasible, creation of up to 20 single room dwelling units
providing housing to persons who are homeless and/or in need of temporary
or emergency shelter.
3 Land Assembly/New Development
This program will include, as necessary, the acquisition and assembly of
land, relocation of any residents, demolition of existing structures, and the
construction of new single-family owner-occupied units and new multi-family
units, for all economic groups. The program will be conducted pursuant to all
requirements of the California Redevelopment Law, within the jurisdiction of
the Redevelopment Agency. Approximately 60 new units will be constructed
and at least half will be for low and moderate income families. New single-
family homes will also meet the needs of existing renters because the City
desires to make homeowners out of existing renters. The City's objective is
to improve the stability of the community.

4. Redevelopment -Senior Housing
This program will include the development of 25 senior units. An existing
older motel will be redeveloped into senior housing. Current plans call for the
combining of two motel rooms into one unit.
5. Fair Housing
The City contracts with the Fair Housing Foundation of Long Beach on
annual basis to provide fair housing services for Lynwood residents as
required by the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and the Fair Housing Act. To comply
with these regulations, the City utilizes Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds to develop a proactive fair housing program to reduce,
prevent, or eliminate housing discrimination and other barriers to equal
housing based on race, color, religion, sex disability, or national origin.
The Fair Housing foundation implements the policies and practices for fair
housing in Lynwood and takes action on any circumstances that affect equal
housing opportunities. The City refers all inquiries for these services to the
Fair Housing Foundation and also maintains literature and informational
brochures at City Hall that are available for public distribution. During 2000-
01, the City will discuss contract modifications with the Foundation
concerning outreach services and individual testing.
6. The City Beautification Program
This program incorporates code enforcement for substandard units. The
program will review about 600 units per year. The primary emphasis will be
to remove abandoned vehicles and unwanted debris. The annual budget for
this program is $262,500.
7. Rehabilitation of Single-Family Homes
The City will utilize Federal HOME Program funds to provide financial
assistance to eligible owners for the rehabilitation of their properties. An
estimated 100 single-family homes will be rehabilitated during the next five
years. The annual allocation is $200,000.
8. Defenred Loans
The City will utilize Federal HOME Program funds to provide deferred loans
to eligible homeowners for rehabilitation of their property. During the next
Housing Element Staff Report
May 15, 2001
Page 5
five fiscal years, an estimated 20 households will be rehabilitated with
$100,000 annual allocation.
9. Section 8 Rental Assistance
The Los Angeles County Housing Authority currently administers the Section
8 Rental Assistance program. As of January 1998 a total of 122,043
households are on the waiting list for Section 8 assistance. The County
Housing Authority will apply for additional funding which will enable the
Housing Authority to administer an additional certificates for families, elderly,
handicapped and disabled persons over the next five.
10. Federal HOME Program
The City will utilize Federal HOME Program funds to provide mortgage
assistance for eligible first time homebuyers. The City will allocate
approximately $100,000 on an annual basis and during the next five years
approximately 20 households will be provided mortgage assistance to
purchase an affordable home.
11. Purchase and Acquisition Program
The City will provide an annual allocation of $100,000 in HOME Program
funds to purchase and acquire vacant or underutilized property that will be
rehabilitated according to minimum property standards and be made
available to be purchased by low and moderate households. During the next
five fiscal years, approximately 10 residential properties will be purchased
and rehabilitated.
12. Home Energy Upgrade Financing Program
The City will pursue the use of energy conservation measures in low- and
moderate-income housing through the Home Energy Upgrade Financing
Program sponsored by The Gas Company. This program supported by
Fannie Mae and administered by Volt VIEWtech provides loans from $1,000
to $20,000 to be repaid up to 10 years. The loans are unsecured and the
current interest rate as of August 21, 2000 is 10.75 percent. The funds may
be used for central air conditioning, furnaces, window and door
replacements, roofing, water heaters, fireplace inserts, insulation and other
approved uses. Approximately 10 units per year are expected to be in the
program. The Community Development Department will provide flyers on
the program at the public counter. Program details can be obtained at 1-888-

SUB7ECT: Appeal No. 2001-02: Request to overturn the decision of the
Planning Commission to approve Zone Change No. 2000-03 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31, EI Farallon Restaurant/Dance Hall
at 3551 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Lynwood.
PURPOSE
To conduct a public hearing in order to consider Appeal No. 2001-02, a request to
overturn the decision of the Planning Commission to Approve Zone Change No. 2000-03
and Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31; applications to change the zoning at Lynwood
Plaza from CB-1 (Controlled Business) to C-3 (Heavy Commercial); and approve a 2,890
square foot expansion to the EI Farallon Restaurant/Dance Hall at 3351 Martin Luther King
Jr. Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 2001, the Planning Division and City Clerk's OfFce received Appeal No. 2001-
02, arequest to overturn the decision of the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on March 13, 2001, January 9, 2001
and December 12, 2000 on the above-identified applications.
On March 13, 2001, the Planning Commission approved two (2) applications submitted by
the business owner of the EI Farallon Restaurant/Dance Hall. The Planning Commission
approved Zone change No 2000-03, to change the zoning for the property known as
Lynwood Plaza from CB-1 (Controlled Business) to C-3 (Heavy Commercial). In addition,
the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31 that provided
approval of the following:
a) Expand the existing restaurant and dance hall by 2,890 square feet; and
b) Remove the nonconforming status of the dance hall land use; and
c) Remove the nonconforming status of the alcoholic beverage license.
The conditional use permit only needs Planning Commission approval, however, a zone
change is an ordinance and requires approval from the City Council. If the City Council
does not adopt the zone change ordinance, the conditional use permit is null and void. On
April 17, 2001 the City Council accepted public testimony and continued the item.
The subject property is located at 3551 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard within a CB-1
zone and the business establishment currently totals approximately 14,779 square feet.
The addition would bring the total floor area to 17,816 square feet. The business has the
following active licenses:
• City of Lynwood Business License
• Dance Hall & Dance Club Permit
• Live Entertainment Permit - '"
• Vending & Coin Operated Machines Permit .AGEN7.)A ITEM
• Alcoholic Beverage Control License ~ ~ `
H:\WORDFILE\PLANNING\STAFFRPT\cup.zc.elfarallan.cc.doc 1
There is no record of a conditional use permit for the business. Conditional use permits
are required for dance halls and the sale of alcoholic beverages. City Council approval is
required for live entertainment permits and no resolution or minute order is on file.
The Planning Commission approved a security plan that must be entered into between the
business owner and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. The security plan would
not only address the parking area of the business, but would require security of a two (2)
block radius around the perimeter of Lynwood Plaza. Such security plan would restrict
ingress and egress on residential streets and would force patrons to exit the property on
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The business owner has agreed to contract with the Sheriff Department for the life of the
conditional use permit to provide uniformed Deputies in Lynwood Plaza and surrounding
neighborhoods. Security inside the establishment would is provided by a private firm.
The conditional use permit contains twenty-three (23) conditions of approval with specific
time frames to complete such conditions.
DISCUSSION
Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) Section 25-7(b) identifies permitted uses within the CB-1
zone. Dance halls or nightclubs are not a permitted use, therefore, the business is
nonconforming. LMC Section 25-7.2(c) identifies prohibited uses and states that any
business, use or institution that is specifically authorized in other zones is prohibited in the
CB-1 zone. LMC Section 25-10.1(f)(1) identifies dance halls as permitted subject to a
conditional use permit within the C-3 (Heavy Commercial) zone, therefore, dance halls are
prohibited in the CB-1, C-2 and C-2A zones.
The Lynwood General Plan Land Use Map designates the property as commercial. The
zone change from CB-1 to C-3 is consistent with the General Plan. There are several
issues involving the zone change request. Lynwood Plaza consists of eight (8) separate
property owners. EI Farallon is part of a large multiple tenant building. It would not make
good planning sense to only designate EI Farallon as C-3. The entire Lynwood Plaza
should be addressed as a whole. The proposal is all or nothing for Lynwood Plaza and
would make at least two (2) nonconforming businesses comply with the LMC.
A C-3 zoning designation would allow additional land uses that could be more intensive
such as auto repair, equipment rental yard, equipment storage yard, feed and fuel yard,
and dog kennels.
The parking within Lynwood Plaza is sufficient to accommodate the business expansion,
the building could support the occupancy load, and the business has fire sprinklers. Based
on public testimony, the primary issue is activities in the parking lot and surrounding
neighborhood. The comprehensive security plan and other applicable conditions of
approval were developed to address those issues.
The business is classified as nonconforming and subject to provisions set forth in LMC
Section 25-15. Non-conforming buildings and uses are not permitted to expand or
intensify the land use. In addition, there is an amortization period of ten (10) years in
commercial zones in which nonconforming uses shall be abated pursuant to LMC Section
25-15.6(b). It does not appear that the City has enforced abatement schedules and there
is a question if the LMC nonconforming and abatement code sections are legally
enforceable.
H:\WORDFILE\PLANNING\STAFFRPT\cup.zc.elfarallon.cc.doc 2
,... ..M
LMC Section 25-27 permits property owners or their authorized agents to initiate a change
of zoning or general plan designation, however, the public cannot initiate a ZOA.
OPTIONS
The City Council has five (5) options to consider regarding this appeal.
1. Overturn the Planning Commission decision and APPROVE Appeal No. 2001-02,
thereby DENYING Zone Change No. 2000-03 and DENYING Conditional Use Permit
No. 2000-31.
2. Uphold the decision of the Planning Commission and APPROVE Zone Change No.
2000-03 and APPROVE Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31.
3. Direct staff to perform a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow dance halls,
nightclubs, etc. in the CB-1 zone subject to a conditional use permit.
4. DENY Zone Change No. 2000-03, the Conditional Use Permit and the Appeal would
become "moot".
5. TAKE NO ACTION. The conditional use permit would automatically be approved
pursuant to the Planning Commission actions and conditions of approval. However,
Council must approve the Zone Change otherwise the conditional use permit is null
and void.
Approving the Appeal and denying the applications would leave anon-conforming business
with no conditional use permit and no conditions to regulate the business. The result of a
nonconforming business would be continued problems with cruising, loitering and other
police issues. In addition, other uses within Lynwood Plaza would remain nonconforming.
Support of the conditional use permit and zone change would include mandatory and
specific conditions of approval in order to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of
citizens working and residing in the area. Conditions would include implementing and
maintaining a security plan reviewed and approved by the Sheriff Department;
implementing an exterior lighting plan, parking plan, submitting a new fire sprinkler plan,
and submitting for building plan check. If the applicant fails to comply with conditions of
approval, the City may initiate revocation proceedings against the conditional use permit
and/or the business licenses.
If conditions of approval are implemented and adhered to, the required findings in LMC
Section 25-25.7 could be made to approve the conditional use permit. In addition, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and appropriate mitigation measures
have been required in order to reduce negative impacts to a level of insignificance. The
zone would provide EI Farallon with an opportunity to be conforming and mitigate impacts
on properties in the vicinity.
If the City Council directs staff to draft a zoning ordinance amendment, the appeal, zone
change and conditional use permit could be tabled until the Planning Commission and City
Council conduct public hearings for the zoning ordinance amendment. Staff does not
recommend this option.
If the City Council denies the ordinance for the Zone Change, the Conditional Use Permit
would become moot and the Appeal would automatically be approved.
H:\WORDFILE\PLANNING\STAFFRP71cup.zc.elfarallon.cc.doc 3
Taking no action would in effect, deny the proposed expansion. The Conditional Use
Permit would be approved, however, an ordinance for the Zone Change must be adopted
by Council, and without the Zone Change the Conditional Use Permit is null and void.
Whatever option the City Council chooses, the appropriate course of action would be to act
on the Zone Change first. Action on the Zone Change dictates approval or denial of the
project and other applications.
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
If the City Council elects to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission, the Council
would introduce the ordinance approving Zone Change No. 2000-03 first, otherwise the
conditional use permit (CUP) would be null and void. The second motion would be to
adopt the resolution to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31. If the project is
approved, the EI Farallon Restaurant/Dance Hall would be scheduled for hearing before
the Planning Commission within six (6) months to review the status of compliance with
mandatory conditions of approval.
If the City Council elects to support the Appeal and thereby overturn the decision of the
Planning Commission, the Council would adopt the resolution to approve Appeal 2001-02.
The City Council needs to carefully review and enforce the need to protect surrounding
residential properties from deleterious affects of unregulated businesses. The City Council
also needs to be mindful that businesses with historical enforcement problems need to be
given adequate opportunity to comply before aggressive enforcement is contemplated. A
zone change and conditional use permit with strict conditions is a good first step in
ensuring that the business as well as residents issues are taken into consideration and
resolved in a timely manner.
If the applicants fail to abide by the conditions set forth in the resolution, the City can
consider other options including revocation of the conditional use permit and business
licenses. .
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends for the City Council to conduct a public hearing and after
considering public oral and written comments to close the public hearing and choose one
of following options:
1) Adopt the resolution to APPROVE Appeal No. 2001-02 and overturn the decision
of the Planning Commission, thereby denying the project.
2) Uphold the decision of the Planning Commission and introduce the ordinance
approving Zone Change No. 2000-03 and adopt the resolution approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31.
3) Direct staff to draft a Zoning Ordinance Amendment and thereby table the
appeal, zone change and conditional use permit.
4) DENY Zone Change No. 2000-03, the Conditional Use Permit would become
"moot" and the Appeal would automatically be approved.
5) Take no action. This would effectively deny the project. Although the
Conditional Use Permit would automatically be approved, a zone change must be
an ordinance adopted by Council. The Conditional Use Permit is null and void
without the Zone Change.

significant effect in this case as mitigation measures were developed to reduce possible
negative impacts to a level of insignificance, pursuant to provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as amended;
Section 1. The Lynwood City Council hereby finds and determines as follows:
A. The proposed project may adversely effect the comprehensive General
Plan. The proposed zone change may allow more intensive and/or
obtrusive land uses to establish.
H:\WORDF[LE\PLANNINGUtESOSVeso.cc.drnyolfarallon.doc - 1 -
B. The proposed location of the zone change may not be in accord with the
objectives of the zoning code. Additional land uses permitted in a less
restrictive commercial zone may not be able to comply with required
development standards.
C. The proposed location of the zone change may be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The land uses permitted in a less restrictive
commercial zone may negatively impact properties in the vicinity..
D. The effects of the zone change may not have the implementation of
mitigation measures that would reduce negative impacts on properties in
the vicinity to a level of insignificance. Such mitigation measures would
pertain to effects on noise, light and glare, transportation/circulation, and
public services.
E. The proposed project may adversely effect the comprehensive General
Plan, specifically the following goals and policies;
1) Ensure that residential neighborhoods are protected from the
encroachment of incompatible activities or land uses which may have a
negative impact on the residential environment. (Land Use Element,
Policy 3, page LU-19)
2) Prevent and mitigate the adverse impacts of noise from internal and
external sources on Lynwood residents. (Circulation Element, Goal 1,
page N-5)
3) Provide a pattern, scale, and design of land uses which promote
individual safety. (Safety Element, Policy 5, page S-12)
F. The proposed location of the conditional use may not be in accord with the
objectives of Chapter 25, Zoning of the Lynwood Municipal Code, and the
purpose of the zone in which the site is located. The zoning code strives
to provide land uses and commercial establishments that serve the needs
of residents city wide. The subject business may be creating negative
impacts on adjacent residential and commercial properties.
G. The location of the proposed conditional use and the conditions under
which it operates or maintained may be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity. The establishment has a negative history of excessive police
response requests. Residents have testified at public hearings of criminal
activities and disturbance of their peace and welfare.
H. The conditional use may not comply with each of the applicable provisions
of the zoning chapter. The Lynwood Municipal Code requires dance halls
and establishments that serve alcohol to have a conditional use permit
and this business does not have such permits.
I. The applicant has not demonstrated that he has implemented mitigation
measures that would reduce negative impacts on properties in the vicinity
to a level of insignificance. Such mitigation measures pertain to effect of
noise, light and glare, transportation/circulation, and public services.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Lynwood, based upon the
aforementioned findings and determinations, hereby approves Appeal No. 2001-02 and
thereby denies Zone Change No. 2000-03 and denies Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-

RE: Appeal 2001-02: EI Farallon Restaurant, 3351 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Commission approved applications for Zone Change No. 2000-03
and Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31 on March 13, 2001 regarding the EI
Farallon Restaurant. During the three (3) public hearings, the Planning
Commission received considerable public testimony including loitering, drug
sales, gang activity, gun fire, shootings, cruising, noise issues and trespassing
that directly affect the surrounding commercial properties and residents.
The appeal is based on the following:
• The Panning Commission failed to take into consideration the deleterious
effects this establishment has on the surrounding properties based on the
testimony brought forth by the public.
• Expansion of this land use is contrary to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community, the surrounding businesses and residents.
Therefore, based on the public concerns, both residents and community issues,
the Planning Commission decision should be overturned, the City Council should
approve Appeal No. 2001-02 and deny Zone Change No. 2000-03 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-31.
Attached is the City of Lynwood Appeal application and a list of citizens who
spoke in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearings.
Sincerely,
Ricardo Sanchez, Mayor Pro Team
Lynwood City Council

The existing restaurant totals 14,779 square feet and the addition, if
approved, would bring the restaurant area to a total of 17,816 square feet.
The conditional use permit would serve three (3) purposes to include:
1) Expand the existing restaurant and dance ha112,890 square feet; and
2) Remove the nonconforming status of the business; and
3) Remove the nonconforming status of the alcohol license.
Taylor stated the item has been continued from the December 12, 2000 and
January 9, 2001 Planning Commission meetings due to a large number of
public comments and concerns. Staff, the applicant and the Sheriff
Department has been working to resolve issues and create a security plan for
the Lynwood Plaza.
The Planning Commission has four (4) options to include:
1) Deny the application; or
2) Approve the applications with strict conditions and time frames; or
3) Direct staff to draft a Zoning Ordinance Amendment; or
4) Continue the item.
Attached are documents for denial and approval. If the Commission elects
to approve the application, the item would be forwarded to the City Council.
A conditional use permit only requires Commission approval, where a zone
change is an ordinance an also requires City Council approval. The
conditional use permit is null and void unless the zone change is approved
by the City Council and there is a fifteen (15) day appeal period.
Senior Planner Taylor introduced Lieutenant Michael Herek of the Los
Angeles County Sheriff Department to explain a proposed security plan. Lt.
Herek explained a security plan would be a contract between the Sheriff and
the business owner and would initially include seven (7} deputies and one
(1) sergeant for a period of ninety (90) days. After 90 days the security plan
effectiveness would be evaluated and if warranted, revised. The security
plan would prohibit cruising, close off rear driveways after 10:00 and
channel traffic toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The security plan
would include a two (2} block radius around Lynwood Plaza to protect the
adjacent residential neighborhoods.

Barnes inquired if the security plan would interfere within the business.
Maciel inquired about the security plan effect on City patrols.
Lt. Herek explained the security plan is for the parking lot and the area
around Lynwood Plaza and private security is used inside the business. The
security plan is in addition to the City contract and City patrols would not be
affected.
Manlapaz inquired about involvement of City in security plan.
Dove inquired about security plan not depleting Sheriff services.
Abarca inquired about other cities that have contract between the sheriff and
private citizens.
Maciel inquired about City liability.
Calsada inquired about liability and area coverage.
Lt. Herek explained the security plan does not include the City. The security
plan would not deplete City police services. Other cities to have sheriff
citizen contracts include West Hollywood and Pico Rivera. The City is not
liable as the contract would be initiated between the Sheriff and Hermelio
Franco and includes a 3% liability fee.
Lt. Herek explained private security cannot patrol public property and is
therefore not as effective as the Sheriff do. The sheriff can detain and arrest
people inside and outside the business.
Chicots commented the conditional use permit requires a security plan for
the life of the business as approved by the Sheriff and the City. Said
revisions would be reviewed and approved by the Sheriff and Planning
Commission.
Lt. Herek presented the security plan to the audience.

Grant Taylor, Senior Planner
Date of Initial
Study & Mitigation
Measures: November 29, 2000
PROPOSAL
The proposed project is to expand an existing restaurant and dance hall 2,890
square feet within an existing multiple tenant building. The existing restaurant
and dance hall totals 14,779 square feet and the addition would bring the total
area to 17,816 square feet. In addition, the proposal includes changing the
zoning for the entire Lynwood Plaza from CB-1 (Controlled Business) to C-3
(Heavy Commercial). The Lynwood Plaza contains the dance hall and a liquor
store that is not permitted in the CB-1 zone and are therefore non-conforming.
Non-conforming land uses may not alter or expand, and have an amortization
period to convert to a conforming land use. Without approval of a zone change,
the conditional use permit cannot be granted. It would not make good planning
sense to only change the zone for the restaurant property, therefore, the
proposed zone change is for the entire Lynwood Plaza.
PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at 3551 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard within a
Cb-1 (Controlled Business) zone. The zoning is consistent with the General Plan
land use designation of Commercial.
The property is located on the north side of Martin Luther King )r. Boulevard
between Abbott Road and Norton Avenue. The property comprises eight (8) lots
that totals 551,890 square feet in area or 12.67 acres. The Lynwood Plaza is
developed with a multiple tenant building that occupies about twenty percent
(20%) of the lot area and is also developed with two (2) separate restaurants
and two (2) office/retail buildings.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described herein have been added to this project. A
Negative Declaration will be prepared.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
There are three (3) possible responses to each of the questions on the preceding
Environmental Checklist Form:
1) No Impact. This response is used when the proposed project does not
have any measurable environmental impact.
2) Maybe (possible impact). This response is used when the proposed
project may have a possible environmental impact; however, if an impact
wil) result of the significance of the impact cannot be determined.
Mitigation measures are incorporated into the resolution to reduce
possible impacts to a leve{ of insignificance.
3) Yes (potential impact). This response is used when the proposed project
potentially has an environmental impact. Mitigation measures are
incorporated into the resolution to reduce potential impacts to a level of
insignificance.
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
(Page 6 on the Initial Study/Environmental Checklist)
Noise Impact Discussion &Mitiaation Measures
6a} Increase in existing noise levels?
On weekends, the business currently generates noise levels that may be
unacceptable. There is loitering, cruising, vehicle racing, etc. in conjunction with
EI Farallon. Expanding an additional 2,890 square feet may increase noise levels.
If approved, the applicant will be required to draft and submit a security plan to
be reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. The
security plan would discourage undesirable or illegal activities and would include
number of security personnel, hours of security supervision, a guard tower, hand
radios, etc. The applicant would also be required to submit a parking and traffic
circulation plan in order to minimize vehicular movement and improve traffic flow
within the parking area. In addition, the applicant would be required to submit
an exterior lighting plan as a well illuminated parking area would discourage
undesirable and illegal activities.
6b) As mentioned above, the business may generate undesirable noise levels
and expansion may intensify noise levels. To mitigate potential noise
levels to a level of insignificance a security plan, parking and traffic
circulation plan and lighting plan would all he required.
The grading may slightly after the topography. A grading and drainage plan will
be reviewed and applicable permits required.
Liaht and Glare Impact Discussion &Mitiaation Measures
7) Will the proposal produce new light or glare?
The project may produce new light and glare as exterior lighting would be
required for security purposes in the parking area and around the business.
The applicant would be required to submit a detailed lighting plan and the light
standards would be erected away from neighboring residential properties and the
lights would be installed so as to be directed away from neighboring residences
and businesses.
Transportation/Circulation Discussion & Mitigation Measures
13a) Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement?
Increasing the size of the restaurant and dance hall may attract additional
vehicles and therefore increase vehicular movement.
A detailed parking and traffic circulation plan will be required to be reviewed and
approved by the Community Development Department and the Los Angeles
County Sheriff Department. The plan would include parking lot attendants,
delineation of traffic circulation, and assisted parking.
13b) Effects on existing parking facilities, or demand for new parking?
The project will require parking facilities sufficient for employees and patrons to
the business. On weekend evenings, the majority of patrons utilize the parking
area to the rear of the business where the dance hall entrance is located. The
Lynwood Municipal Code requires one (1) parking stall for each one hundred
(100) square feet of building area for restaurants, therefore, if approved, EI
Farallon would require 178 parking stalls. The entire Lynwood Plaza contains
approximately 68Z parking stalls to serve all businesses. 330 parking stalls are
located directly behind and in close proximity to the business.
The applicant will be required to submit a detailed parking and traffic circulation
plan to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department
and the Los Angeles County Sheriff. Components of the plan would be directed
and assisted parking, delineation of traffic flow, etc.
14a) Will the proposal result in a need for new or altered fire protection?
Expanding the existing business would increase the business occupancy load and
therefore may increase the need for fire protection.
The applicant will be required to submit detailed plans to the Los Angeles Coun
Fire Department for plan check and review to ensure that required fire safety
protection measures and included. The entire building will require sprinklers,
exits must remain clear and accessible, and fire extinguisher present and
operable at the site.
14b) Will the proposal result in a need for new or altered police protection?
The business has a poor police incident record. Expanding the business may
attract additional patrons and therefore increase the need for police services.
The applicant will be required to submit a detailed security plan to be reviewed
and approved by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. The plan shall
include number of security personnel, hours of security coverage, exterior
lighting, hand radios and other measures required by the Sheriff to discourage
undesirable and illegal activities at the site.
,-•~
In conclusion, a condition will be included that requires the applicant to return to
the Planning Commission within six (6) months for a review of the police records
and compliance with mandatory conditions of approval. Failure to comply with
all conditions of approval may result in revocation proceedings being initiated
against the conditional use permit and/or business license and/or referral to the
City Prosecutor for legal action against the business owner and property owners.

SUBJECT: Lynwood Lighting Assessment District No. 2001-A
PURPOSE:
This report recommends that the City Council approve the attached Engineer's Report
for Lynwood Lighting Assessment District No.2001-A and recommends that the City
Council adopt a Resolution of Intention, which sets this matter for public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
The Lynwood Lighting Assessment District was first established in 1978 under the
Street Lighting Act of 1919. The District was reformed in 1981 under the Landscaping
and Lighting Act of 1972. The cost of maintenance, including the assessment
engineering costs and administration can be levied annually against the properties
which receive the benefits, thereby relieving the General Fund of that amount. Property
owners are assessed only for the benefits received. The assessments were levied as a
fair and equitable way to provide funds to maintain, operate and improve the lighting
areas in the City. The plans and specifications for the District are on file with the City
Clerk and the Director of Public Works.
The City Council, on March 6, 2001, adopted Resolution 2001-26 proposing the
formation of a Lighting Assessment District pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting
Act of 1972, and directed the preparation of the Engineer's Report.
For fiscal year 2001-2002, the estimated cost of providing street lighting maintenance is
$862,400. The annual installment for Certificate of Participation, as approved by the
City Council in 1992 is $256,000. Since a surplus of $60,000 from FY 2001-2002 is
projected, the revenue required for Fiscal Year 2001-2002 is $1,058,400.
ANALYSIS:
The current assessment rates are $1.62/F.F. and $3.01/F.F. for residential and
commercial lots, respectively. If the City maintains these current rates for FY 2001-
2002, the estimated revenue would be $1,058,465, which is sufficient to cover for all
costs of the District.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD, APPROVING THE REPORT
PREPARED PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA STREETS AND HIGHWAYS

ENGINEER'S REPORT
THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CITY HALL, LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA
LYNWOOD LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Resolution No. 2001-26 adopted by your Honorable Body on March 6,
2001, I have prepared the
ENGINEER'S REPORT
Required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as amended, (Division 15, Part
2, Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). This Engineer's Report
contemplates the levying of an assessment to provide funds necessary to construct,
install, maintain and service public lighting facilities and appurtenant facilities within the
Lynwood Lighting Assessment District (the "District"). The assessment will be levied
against those parcels of land within said District benefiting from the improvements, as
required by law.
Proper construction, installation, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting
facilities within the District benefit each and every assessable property within the
District by providing proper illumination for ingress and egress and safe traveling at
night to and from such properties. It also improves protection of such properties from
crime and vandalism. The foregoing enhances property values.
Since the lighting facilities are located along the public streets, the front footage of
each benefited property along such streets is used as the base for distributing the
overall costs of the improvements in proportion to the estimated benefits to be
received by each assessable parcel from the improvements.
The different assessments for commercial and residential properties are based on
different lumen and other design requirements along major arterial and residential
streets.
THE ENGINEER'S REPORT
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as amended, it is required that
an Engineer's Report be prepared and filed with the City Clerk, who in turn presents it
to the City Council for its consideration.
The said Engineer's Report consists of the following:

SUBJECT: Lynwood Landscape Maintenance Assessment District
FY 2001-2002
PURPOSE:
This report recommends that the City Council approve the attached Engineer's Report
for Lynwood Landscape Maintenance Assessment District and recommends that the
City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention which sets this matter for public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
The Lynwood Landscape Maintenance Assessment District was first established in
1978 under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The cost of maintenance,
including the assessment engineering costs and administration can be levied annually
against the properties which receive the benefits, thereby relieving the General Fund of
that amount. Property owners are assessed only for the benefits received. The
assessments were levied as a fair and equitable way to provide funds to maintain,
operate and improve the landscaped areas in the City. The plans and specifications for
the District are on file with the City Clerk and the Director of Public Works.
The City Council, on March 6, 2001, adopted Resolution 2001-27 proposing the
formation of a Landscape Maintenance Assessment District pursuant to the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 192, and directed the preparation of the Engineer's
Report.
For fiscal year 2001-2002, the estimated cost of providing landscape maintenance is
$945,400. The annual installment for Certificate of Participation, as approved by the
City Council in 1992 is $246,808. Since a combined carryover from FY 2000-01 and
available funds from other funding source, totaling $97,814, is projected, the revenue
required for FY 2001-2002 is $1,094,394.
ANAI YSIS•
The current assessment rate is $1.90/F.F. for residential and commercial lots. If the City
maintains these current rates for FY 2001-2002, the estimated revenue would be
$1,094,394, which is sufficient to cover for all costs of the District.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

ENGINEER'S REPORT
THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CITY HALL, LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2001-27, adopted by your Honorable Body on March fi,
2001, I have prepared the
ENGINEER'S REPORT
required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as amended, (being Division 15,
Part 2, Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). This Engineer's Report
contemplates the levying of an assessment to provide funds necessary to construct,
install, maintain and service sidewalks, streets, and water, flood control and drainage
systems and appurtenant facilities within the Landscape Maintenance District of the City
of Lynwood (the "District"). The assessment will be levied against those parcels of land
within said District benefiting from the improvements, as required by law.
Proper construction, installation, maintenance and servicing of median islands, retention
basins, street trees and other landscaped facilities provide an esthetically pleasing
environment, air purification and sound attenuation. Proper maintenance of such
landscaping also provides for the efficient operations of streets, sidewalks, water, flood
control and drainage systems throughout the City. It enhances the overall quality of life
and desirability of an area, thereby enhancing the value of each and every parcel in the
District.
Since the street trees and medians are evenly distributed along the public streets and
other landscaped facilities are evenly distributed throughout the District, all properties
within the District are located within a single zone. The front footage of each benefited
property is used as the base for distributing the overall costs in proportion to the
estimated benefits to be received by each assessable parcel from the improvements.
THE ENGINEER'S REPORT
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as amended, it is required that
an Engineer's Report be prepared and filed with the City Clerk, who in turn presents it to
the City Council for its consideration.
The said Engineer's Report consists of the following:
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Lynwood Landscape Maintenance District was formed and assessments first levied
in 1978 following the passage of Resolution No. 78-78 by the City Council. The plans
and specifications for the improvements within the District are on file with the City Clerk
and Director of Public Works and are incorporated herein by reference.

Capital Improvement Costs
There was a considerable backlog in capital improvement projects in the District. The
public interest and safety required that these projects be constructed on an expedited
basis.
The cost of such capital improvements exceeded the amount that could be conveniently
raised in a single assessment.
Pursuant to Section 22662 (b) of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City of
Lynwood entered into an agreement whereby District received an advance of
$2,467,850 from the City of Lynwood for deposit to the improvement fund. Such
advance is to be repaid to the City through the levy and collection of annual
assessments for these improvements over a period of twenty (20) years commencing
with fiscal year 1992-93. The annual installment is $246,808.
A list of the previously approved projects and their status is attached to this report as
