Davis III, City Manager ~~~~ r~~ ~ ~~ BY: Joseph Wang, Public Works Director/City Engine `~~ ~~ Grant Taylor, Senior Planner _` SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Revocation of the Business License for Gina's Beauty Salon, 3547 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. PURPOSE To have the City Council conduct a public hearing for revocation of a business license issued to Carolina Guzman for Gina's Beauty Salon, located at 3547 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the CB-1 (Controlled Business) zone. In addition, to prohibit a massage parlor at the subject location. BACKGROUND On September 10, 1997 the City of Lynwood approved a business license for Carolina Guzman to operate a Beauty Salon/Nails business at 3547 Martin Luther King ]r. Boulevard in the CB-1 (Controlled Business) zone. The subject business is a tenant space within the Lynwood Plaza at the northerly most corner of the main multiple tenant building. On May 30, 2001 the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department conducted an undercover investigation and arrested one (1) female employee for Disorderly Conduct -Prostitution. A male employee, Mr. Luis Alba, was present at the subject property at the time of the arrest. On June 13, 2001 City staff went to the subject business and hand delivered a letter from the City Manager providing notification that the business license has been suspended and must remain closed until a public hearing is conducted. Staff observed three (3) female employees who stated Luis Alba owns the business and was not present. Staff observed unauthorized interior improvements that included construction of five (5) private cubicles with cots and several partition walls creating an office and reception area. Staff also observed a female employee providing a full body massage to a male customer. On June 21, 2001 Luis Alba met with City staff members and acknowledged he is the new business owner and that he purchased the business from Carolina Guzman, the business license holder. Staff advised Mr. Alba of the suspended business license and procedure for business license suspensions and revocations. On June 28, 2001 City staff sent notice of July 3, 2001 City Council review of suspended license to Mr. Alba and Ms. Guzman by registered mail. On July 3, 2001 the Lynwood City Council reviewed the complaint and accusation directed staff to schedule a public hearing for revocation procedures of the subject business license. On July 5, 2001 the public hearing was noticed in the Wave Newspaper. City staff sent notice of public hearing to Mr. Alba and Ms. Guzman by registered mail _ AGENllA ITEM H:IWORDFILE\PLANNING\STAFFRPTUevo.gina's.publichearing.doc 1 The business license for Carolina Guzman identifies an address and phone number in Lynwood. Staff has called twice and both times a female voice answered the phone, stated Ms. Guzman was not home, and they would leave a message to return the call. Staff has not received a phone call or response to the letters mailed to Ms. Guzman. ANALYSIS Pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) Section 4-9.1 the City Manager has the authority to suspend a business license at any time based on any one (1) of the four (4) following grounds: a. Any facts exist upon which a denial of the special permit or license would be authorized. b. The licensee, or any agent or employee of the licensee, has violated or has been convicted of violating any of the terms of this Chapter, of any regulation imposed pursuant thereto, or of any law, statute, provisions of this Code or other ordinance, rule, order or regulation of the City, of the State or of the United States, now or hereafter in force regulating the occupation or other activity for which the special permit or license has been issued. c. The licensee or permittee obtained the license or permit by fraudulent misrepresentations. d. If the license authorized engaging in the business or repairing any property such as radios, television or vehicles, the licensee or any agent or employee of the licensee has stolen or been convicted or the theft of such property or any part thereof or has been convicted of receiving such stolen property in violation of section 496 of the State Penal Code. Based on City staff inspections, the police report and information provided by Mr. Alba and his employees, grounds a, b and c identified above can be made. Business activities at Gina's Beauty Salon are in violation of the Lynwood Municipal Code, Uniform Building Code and Penal Code. Following is a brief summary: LMC4-6.1 The current business owner, Luis Alba, does not have a valid business license. The license is for Carolina Guzman. Ms. Guzman has not closed her license and Mr. Alba has not applied for a new business license or business license transfer. LMC25-7.1(b) The business is a massage parlor that is not listed as a permitted use in the CB-1 nor has the Planning Commission approved such use. LMC25-16.19(b)(8) A massage parlor and is classified as a "Business Characterized by an Emphasis on Sexually Explicit Material." Such businesses are not permitted at the subject location due to the proximity of residential properties within three hundred feet (300 of the tenant space. LMC4-8.8(m)(1) Massage parlors require a special permit to be approved by the City Council. LMC4-8.8(m)(2) Requires each massage technician to have an occupational license. LMC408.4 Requires massage parlor applications be referred to the Police for background investigation. UBC106.1 Construction without a building permit. PC647(f) Disorderly Conduct -Prostitution. SUMMARY Pursuant to evidence from staff inspections and conversations with the new business owner, Mr. Alba is operating a "massage parlor." Mr. Alba has no business license as the active license was issued to Carolina Guzman. H:\WORDFILEIPLANNING\STAFFRPTIrevo.gina's.publichearing.doc 2 Massage parlors require approval by the City Council. In addition, a massage parlor is not permitted within five hundred feet (500 of a residential zone pursuant to LMC Section 25- 16.19(c). The tenant space is located less than three hundred feet (300 from residential properties, therefore, a business license for a massage parlor or other adult oriented business cannot be issued. Police records indicate that Mr. Alba was arrested at a nearby massage parlor in unincorporated Los Angeles County for an outstanding warrant. LMC Section 4-8.4 requires that business licenses subject to City Council approval require the City to refer the applicant to the Police for background investigation and recommendation. Massage parlors are not identified as a permitted use in the CB-1 (Controlled Business) zone, therefore, pursuant to LMC Section 25-7.1, a Conditional Use Permit is required. City staff has complied with all provisions set forth in Chapter 4-9 of the Lynwood Municipal Code entitled "Suspension and Revocation of Licenses and Permit Generally." Mr. Alba and Ms. Guzman have received due process from the City, have received notifications, and been offered opportunities to testify on their behalf. 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, revoke the business license issued to Carolina Guzman for Gina's Beauty Salon located at 3547 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and to prohibit the transfer of such business license.

All business operations must cease and all persons must vacate the premises immediately. No business activities may occur until such time as the suspension may be removed. Pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code Section 4-9.1, the City Manager has the authority to suspend any license or permit at any time upon a determination that the business owner is violating the terms of the permit, license or applicable law. Such suspension shall remain in full force and effect until such time that the City Council may discuss the suspension and/or revocation of the license at a public hearing pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code Section 4-9.5. A Police incident report indicates there were two (2) arrests for prostitution at the subject properly in violation of Penal Code Section 647(f). In addition, staff observed business activities and interior alterations without planning approval in violation of Sections 25-7(b) and 25-16.19, and without building permits in violation of Section 106.1 of the Uniform Building Code. Substantial and compelling evidence shows that such activity has occurred. There is evidence that the business is not being operated by the licensee. Business license records indicate the business owner is Carolina Guzman. However, police records indicate the business owner is actually Luis Esqueda Alba who is operating a business without a business license as required by Section 4-6.1 of the Lynwood Municipal Code.

DATE: July 17, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Ralph W. Davis III, City Manager `~";~~~~-~'~ BY: Joseph Wang, Public Works Director/City Engineer Grant Taylor, Senior Planner SUB]ECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2001-01: SIGNS AND ADVERTISING DISPLAYS RE UEST The Community Development Department is requesting approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2001-01, to delete existing Section 25-33 in its entirely and adopt a new Comprehensive Sign Ordinance citywide. BACKGROUND The Planning Commission approved the item on May 8, 2001. The issues below were addressed at several public hearings. Following is a brief summary. • Definitions • Prohibited/Restricted signs • Signs in the Public Right-of-Way • Signs regulating tobacco and alcohol advertising • Nonconforming signs Definitions The current sign ordinance has minimum definitions to include a total of thirty-one (31). The revised section proposes seventy-eight (78) definitions. In addition, the current LMC has the definitions at the back of the sign ordinance. This is not consistent with ordinance format as definitions are generally at the beginning of a chapter. The revised definition section is at the beginning of the chapter, new LMC Section 25-33.2. Prohibited/Restricted Signs Some signs are not expressly permitted in the LMC or are undesirable and should be identified as strictly prohibited. Banners, reader boards and other various signs need regulations. New LMC Section 25-33.9 addresses such signs. Sians in the Public Right-of-Wav_ Signs that City Officials or other government agencies may install or agreements the City may enter into with private companies. Sians Pertaining to Alcohol and Tobacco Advertisina The City Council had directed staff to restrict and regulate alcohol/tobacco advertising, specifically, in window signs. The City Attorney's Office researched the item and found that while the U.S. Supreme Court has traditionally upheld such advertising restrictions, it has recently re-examined this issue. Anew Supreme Court opinion is expected this spring. Therefore, no regulations specifically aimed at tobacco or alcoh ~ ' B- are included at this time. AGEDTUA I'I*EM H:\WORDFILEIPLANNING\STAFFRPT1zoa2001-Ol.council.doc 1 Non-Conforming and Amortization Periods for Sian Removal The nonconforming section of the LMC sign chapter is outdated and may not be enforceable. The City Attorney's Office has redrafted nonconforming regulations and amortization periods. ANALYSIS Attached is a comprehensive sign and advertising display ordinance. Rather than summarize all sections and/or revisions, following is the table of contents: 25-33 REGULATION OF SIGNS. 25-33.1 Sign Regulations; Scope and Purpose. 25-33.2 Definitions. 25-33.3 General Provisions. 25-33.4 Sign Standards by Zoning District. 25-33.5 On-Site Signs. 25-33.6 Standards for Specific Types of Signs. 25-33.7 Creative Signs. 25-33.8 Off-Site Signs. 25-33.9 Prohibited and Restricted Signs. 25-33.10 Sign Permits. 25-33.11 Exemptions from Sign Permit Requirements. 25-33.12 Comprehensive Sign Programs. 25-33.13 Abandoned Signs. 25-33.14 Enforcement; Illegal Signs; Penalties. 25-33.15 Sign Design Guidelines. 25-33.16 Conflict with other Code provisions. 25-33.17 Severability. 25-33.18 Penalty. The new sign ordinance has been reorganized and includes charts that identify types of signs and applicable development standards. The ordinance contains minor modifications that reflect concerns pertaining to agreements the City may enter regarding advertising in public right-of-ways and/or on public property. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests for the City Council to conduct a public hearing and after considering pubic oral and written comments to close the public hearing and introduce the attached sign ordinance for first reading and approve ZOA No. 2001-01.

(b) The depreciated value of the sign or advertising display on the effective date of the preexisting ordinance which caused such sign or advertising display to become nonconforming. (c) The remaining useful life of the sign or advertising display. (d} The remaining term of the lease, if any, under which the sign or advertising display was erected and is being maintained. (e) Such additional facts or circumstances which demonstrate that the specified removal date is unreasonable or that it creates an undue hardship, and that an extension of the specified removal date is therefore warranted.

Where an off-site nonconforming sign is located off the premises of the place of business to which the sign pertains and exists at the effective date of the adoption of this Chapter, and could not be built under the terms of this Chapter by reason of restrictions on sign area, height, its location on the lot, or other requirements, the owner of the sign shall: (a) Place on record in the office of the Community Development Department within one (1) year following the adoption of this Chapter a sworn statement regarding the terms of the lease agreement, if any, that was in effect on the effective date of this Chapter, and other information describing the existing sign.

All commercial and manufacturing businesses must thus have a conspicuous exterior on-premises sign, readable from a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet that: a) Contains the name of the business or identifies the nature of the business conducted on the property; b) Bears the street name, as it appears in the Los Angeles County Thomas Brothers Guide, written in the Latin alphabet; and c) Bears the street number in Arabic numerals. 3) Additional wording or information permitted. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting any commercial or manufacturing business from displaying additional wording or information, written in any other alphabet or number system, either on the sign required by subsection (2), above, or on other signs, so long as the sign required therein is visible and legible as specified therein. 4) Deadline for compliance. Existing commercial and manufacturing business establishments shall have six (6) months from the effective date of this Chapter to comply with the requirements of this Section. f. Exemption for City-approved signs. Anything to the contrary in this Chapter notwithstanding, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prohibit the placement, erection, enlargement, modification, repainting, or relocation of any City- approved sign in any location within the City, or to require that a permit be obtained in order to place, erect, enlarge, modify, repaint, or relocate any City-approved sign in any location within the City. 25-33.4 Sian Standards by Zonin4 District.

Purpose. A Comprehensive Sign Program is intended to integrate the design of the signs proposed for a development project with the design of the structures, into a unified architectural statement. A Comprehensive Sign Program provides a means for defining common sign regulations for multi-tenant projects, to encourage maximum incentive and latitude in the design and display of multiple signs and to achieve, not circumvent, the intent of this Chapter. b. Applicability. The approval of a Comprehensive Sign Program shall be required whenever any of the following circumstances exists, or whenever an applicant requests the approval of a Comprehensive Sign Program: 1. Two (2) or more separate tenant spaces are to be created on the same parcel; or 2. Five (5) or more non-exempt signs are proposed for a new or existing development; or 3. The Director determines that a Comprehensive Sign Program is needed because of special project characteristics (e.g., the size of proposed signs, limited site visibility, a business within a business, the location of the site relative to major transportation routes, etc.). c. Approval authority. A Comprehensive Sign Program shall be approved through the granting of a Sign Permit for a Comprehensive Sign Program by the Director. d. Application requirements. A Sign Permit application for a Comprehensive Sign Program shall include all information and materials required by the Department, and the filing fee set by the City's fee resolution. e. Standards. A Comprehensive Sign Program shall comply with the following standards: 1. The program shall comply with the purpose of this Chapter, the Sign Design Guidelines and the overall intent of this Section; 2. The signs shall enhance the overall development, be in harmony with, and relate visually to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program, to the structures and/or developments they identify, and to surrounding development; 3. The program shall accommodate future revisions that may be required because of changes in use or tenants; and 4. The program shall comply with the standards of this Chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance the overall development .and will. more fully accomplish the purposes of this Chapter. H:~WORDF[LE~PLATTIKGUtESOS~ord.signs.doc _ 26 - f. Revisions. Revisions to a Comprehensive Sign Program may be approved by the Director if the intent of the original approval is not affected. Revisions that would substantially deviate from the original approval shall require the approval of a new Comprehensive Sign Program. 25-33.13 Abandoned Signs. A sign shall be removed by the owner or lessee of the premises upon which the sign is located when the business that it advertises is no longer conducted on the premises. The sign shall be removed within thirty (30) days of the close of business. 25-34.14 Enforcement; Illegal Signs; Penalties. The Department is authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of this Chapter by means of inspection consistent with other provisions of this Code; by means of removing illegal signs in accordance with the procedures described below; and by means of imposing penalties, as provided below, on owners of illegal signs. a. Removal. The Department shall cause to be removed any illegal sign as defined in this Chapter. 1. Notice. The Department shall first prepare a notice which shall describe the sign, specify the violation or violations involved, and which shall state that if the sign is not removed or the violation is not corrected within ten (10) days the sign shall be removed in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The notice shall be mailed to the owner of the property on which the sign is located, the owner of the sign, and the occupant of the property. If any of such persons is unknown or cannot be found, notice shall be mailed to the last known addresses of such persons, if any, and posted on the sign or on the premises. 2. Appeals. Any of the above persons aggrieved by a determination by the Department that his or her sign is nonconforming may appeal the determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 25-33.10(b)(2). During the period of the appeal, the sign shall remain in place unless it was determined by the Department to be dangerous to the public. 3. Immediate removal of dangerous signs in case of emergency. Notwithstanding the above, in cases of emergency, the Department may cause the immediate removal of a dangerous or defective sign without notice. 4. Disposal of signs. Any sign removed by the Department pursuant to this Section shall become the property of the City and may be disposed of in any manner deemed appropriate by the City. The cost of removal of the sign by the City shall be considered a debt owed to the City by the owner of the sign and the owner of the property, and may be recovered in an appropriate court action by the City. The cost of removal shall include any and all incidental expenses incurred by the City in connection with the sign's removal. b. Penalties. Illegal signs shall be subject to the penalties set forth in Section 25-33.18, below. H:\W'ORDFILE\PLAh?~IKGIRESOSwrd.signs.doc - 27 - 25-33.15 Sign Design Guidelines. The following guidelines shall be considered by applicants and by the Department in the design and approval of all signs within the City. These guidelines are intended to complement other requirements in the previous Sections of this Chapter. a. Design compatibility. 1. Creative design encouraged. Signs should make a positive contribution to the general appearance of the street and commercial area in which they are located. Awell-designed sign can be a major asset to a building. The City encourages imaginative and innovative sign design. The Creative Sign application procedure is specifically designed for artistic and unusual signs that might not fit the standard sign regulations and categories. 2. Proportionate size and scale. The scale of signs should be appropriate for the building on which they are placed and the area in which they are located. The size and shape of a sign should be proportionate with the scale of the structure. 3. Integrate signs with the building. Signs should not obscure architectural features. Their design should be integrated with the design of the building. A well-designed building fagade or storefront is created by the careful coordination of sign and architectural design and over-all color scheme. Signs in multiple tenant buildings should be designed to complement or enhance the other signs in the building. 4. Reduce sign impact. Because residential and commercial uses generally exist in close proximity, signs should be designed and located so that they have little or no impact on adjacent residential neighborhoods. 5. Sign placement. Place wall signs to establish facade rhythm, scale and proportion where facade rhythm does not already exist. On buildings that have a monolithic or plain fagade, signs can be used to establish or continue appropriate design rhythm, scale, and proportion. 6. Pedestrian-oriented signs are encouraged. It is desirable and encouraged to include apedestrian-oriented sign as one of the permitted signs for a business. Pedestrian-oriented signs are signs that are designed for and directed toward pedestrians so that they can easily and comfortably read the sign as they stand adjacent to the business. 7. Use individual letters. Each business is encouraged to install illuminated channel letter signs to be located on the front or side elevations on the building exterior in accordance with the drawings submitted. Letter height should not exceed twenty-four inches (24'~ in height. b. Color. 1. Select colors carefully. Color is one of the most important aspects of visual communication - it can be used to catch the eye H:\WORDFILEIPLATT II.G\RESOSwrd.signs.doc _ 28 _ or to communicate ideas or feelings. Colors should be selected to contribute to legibility and design integrity. Even the most carefully thought out sign may be unattractive and a poor communicator because of poor color selection. Too many colors used thoughtlessly can confuse and negate the message of a sign. Letter faces may be fabricated from red, orange, green and blue. Special logo colors may be permitted. 2. Use contrasting colors. Contrast is an important influence on the legibility of signs. A substantial contrast should be provided between the color and material of the background and the letters or symbols to make the sign easier to read in both day and night. Light letters on a dark background or dark letters on a light background are most legible. 3. Avoid using too many colors. Colors or color combinations that interfere with legibility of the sign copy or that interfere with viewer identification of other signs should be avoided. Small accents of several colors may make a sign unique and attractive, but the competition of large areas of many different colors often decreases readability. 4. Use complimentary colors. Sign colors should complement the colors used on the structures and the project as a whole. c. Materials. 1. Sign materials. recommended: The following sign materials are a. Plexiglas. b. Wood (carved, sandblasted, etched, and properly sealed, primed and painted, or stained). c. Metal (formed, etched, cast engraved, and properly primed and painted or factory-coated to protect against corrosion). d. High-density pre-formed foam or similar material. New materials may be very appropriate if properly designed in a manner consistent with these guidelines, and painted or otherwise finished to compliment the architecture. e. Custom neon tubing, in the form of graphics or lettering, may be incorporated into several allowed sign types. 2. Compatibility of materials. Sign materials should be compatible with the design of the face of the faSade where they are placed. The selected materials should contribute to the legibility of the sign. 3. Appropriate materials. Paper and cloth signs are not suitable for exterior use (except on awnings) because they deteriorate quickly. H:~WORDFILE~PLAhTIKG\RESOSbrdsigns.dot - 29 - d. Sign legibility. An effective sign should do more than attract attention, it should communicate a message. Usually, this is a question of the readability of words and phrases. The most significant influence on legibility is lettering. 1. Pedestrian-oriented signs. Make signs smaller if they are oriented to pedestrians. The pedestrian-oriented sign is usually read from a distance of fifteen feet (15~ to twenty feet (20~. The closer a sign's viewing distance, the smaller that sign need be, as outlined in the following table: LETTERING SIZE FOR PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED SIGNS i~ Minnnum Character tiize ~ I y ~_ inicru9NCi iieadinrr Ci:~ianc~ I ~ (inches} (feet) 1~1 r~' 1.0 ~ __ 10 ~ ~I rM 1.5 ~- 20 '~j 2.0 30 . a 1(~ .... i 2.5 40 ~ I~ 3.0 _ .~I -- - 50 • i~ 2. Use a brief message. A brief message should be used whenever possible. The fewer the words, the more effective the sign. A sign with a brief, succinct message is easier to read and looks more attractive. Evaluate each word. If the word does not contribute directly to the basic message of the sign, it detracts from it and probably should be deleted. 3. Space letters and words carefully. Letters and words should not be spaced too close together. Crowding of letters, words or lines will make any sign more difficult to read. Conversely, over-spacing these elements causes the viewer to read each item individually, again obscuring the message. As a general rule, letters should not occupy more than seventy percent (70%) of the sign panel area. 4. Limit the number of letter styles. The number of lettering styles should be limited in order to increase legibility. A general rule to follow is to limit the number of different letter types to no more than two (2) for small signs and three (3) for larger signs. Intricate typefaces and symbols that are difficult to read reduce the sign's ability to communicate. 5. Use symbols and logos. Symbols and logos can be used in place of words wherever appropriate. Pictographic images will usually register more quickly in the viewer's mind than a written message. e. Sign illumination. The possible illumination of a sign should be carefully considered. Like color, illumination can provide more effective visual communication, or can confuse the message. Imaginative and innovative lighting techniques for signs are encouraged. 1. Use illumination only if necessary. Consider if the sign needs to be lighted at all. Lights in the window display may be sufficient to identify the business. This is particularly true if good H:\WORDFILE\PL.4NNR:GVtESOS~ordsigns.doc 30 window graphics are used. Often, nearby streetlights provide ample illumination of a sign after dark. 2. Use a direct tight source. If the sign can be illuminated by a direct source of light (e.g., spotlight), this is usually the best arrangement because the sign will appear to be better integrated with the building's architecture. Light fixtures supported in front of the structure cast light on the sign and generally a portion of the face of the structure as well. Direct lighting emphasizes the continuity of the structure's surface, and signs become an integral part of the facade. Direct lighting is also appropriate because it produces a more intimate ambiance on the street. The lighting of signs should be considered as an element in a building's overall lighting design. 3. Shield the light source. Whenever direct lighting fixtures are used (fluorescent or incandescent), care should be taken to properly shield the light source to prevent glare from spilling over into residential areas and any public right-of-way. Signs should be lighted only to the minimum level required for nighttime readability. 4. Back-lighted signs. Back-lighted, solid letters are encouraged. Signs consisting of opaque individually cut letters mounted directly on a structure can often use a distinctive element of the structure's facade as a backdrop, thereby providing a better integration of the sign with the structure. 25-33.16 Conflict with other Code provisions. If any provision of this Chapter is found to be in conflict with any other provision of the Lynwood Municipal Code, the provision that establishes the higher standard shall prevail. 25-33.17 Severability. The provisions of this Chapter are severable. If any Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Chapter is in and shall remain in full force and effect. 25-33.18 Penalty. Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this Chapter shall be fined not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense, and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during on or which a violation occurs or continues.

IV. DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) ON THE BASIS OF THIS INITIAL EVALUATION: [ XX ] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that 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 on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

BACKGROUND On May 29, 2001 the City of Lynwood received a Notice of Preparation and Initial Study from the Lynwood Unified School District (LUSD) to perform an EIR for a proposed high school at Ham Park and twenty-seven (27) homes adjacent to the park. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, the City delivered a formal letter of response to the LUSD on June 27, 2001. DISCUSSION The letter from the City to the School District identified thirty-six (36) issues and areas of concern. In addition, the letter requests that the LUSD conduct "scoping meetings" with the City. Pursuant to CEQA, the LUSD shall schedule a scoping meeting with the City as soon as possible and in no event more than thirty (30) days from the request. As of July 11, 2001, the City has not received oral or written communication from the LUSD regarding a scoping meeting. Planning staff spoke with Mark Horne, environmental consultant with the firm EIP Associates regarding a scoping meeting. Mr. Horne stated there is a meeting with the LUSD tomorrow to discuss the City's response letter. Attached for City Council review and consideration is a draft letter from the City to the LUSD again requesting a scoping meeting. Responsible City staff members should attend future scoping meetings to include staff members from Planning, Redevelopment, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Sheriff, City Manager's Office, as well as consultants. Attached for City Council information are CEQA process and time frame flow charts. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully recommends for the City Council to authorize staff to send a letter informing the LUSD as to their legal obligation to schedule scoping meeting(s) with the City.

Immediately after deciding that an EIR will be required ~ ' a project, the lead agency is required to send to each respor. ble agency a notice of preparation stating that the Iead agency will be preparing an EIR for the project. The notice muse ,it;,, be sent to every federal agency involved in approving or fund ing the project and to each trustee agency responsible for nai cal resources affected by the project. The notice of preparatiurl must provide the other agencies with sufficient information debcribing the project and the potential environmental effects to enable the responsible agencies to respond in a meaningful way. The information in the notice must include a description of the project, the location of the project on a map or by street address, and the probable environmental effects. To send copies of the notice of preparation, the lead agency must use either cel•- tified mail or any other method of transmittal which provides the agency with a record that the notice was received. The lead agency may begin work on the draft EIR immediately without awaiting responses to the notice of preparation, but the draft EIR, must not be circulated for public review before the time period for responses to the notice of preparation has expired. 1 A Cal. Admin. Code 15082(x). Within 30 days after receiving the notice of preparation, each responsible agency is required to provide the lead agency with specific details about the scope and content of the environmen- tal information related to the responsible agency's area of statu- tory responsibility. This will be the environmental information that the responsible agency will need when considering its per- mit of the project. The lead agency must include in the EIR ally such information requested by the responsible agency. The responsible agency is required to identify the significant environ- mental issues and reasonable alternatives and mitigation meas- ures which the responsible agency will need to have explored in the draft EIR and whether the agency will be a responsihle agency or a trustee agency for the project. If a responsible agency fails by the end of the 30 day period to provide the lead agency with either a response to the notice or a well justified request for additional time, the lead agency may presume that the responsible agency has no response to make. The responsible agency must reply to the notice using certified mail or an equiva- lent procedure. Pub Res Code 21080.4(a) and 14 Cal. Admin.

Dear Ms. Rivero and School Board Members: All•AM~ ,~ .~~ '---,. ~-. The City of Lynwood thanks the Lynwood Unified School District for the opportunity to review the Notice of Preparation for the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Proposed High School at Ham Park. The City understands the need for new schoois to accommodate increasing student attendance. The City Council and their staff is responsible for the health, safety and welfare of approximately 70,000 residents citywide. The City appreciates the School District's desire to pursue an Environmental Impact Report and hopefully any potentially adverse impact can be reduced to a level of insignificance. The City has a number of concerns with the proposed Ham Park High School Project and the Initial Study. Following is a summary of questions, concerns and comments responsible City representatives have. In addition, the City requests that the School District schedule scoping meeting(s) to identify the format and content of the Environmental Impact Report. Planning 1) The State Department of Education lists Lynwood High School with 4,129 students for the 2000-2001 School year. This consists of 1,271 Freshmen, 1,169 Sophomores, 988 Juniors and 710 Seniors. The current estimate in the Initial Study of 4,300 is overstated by 171 students. This would reduce the need from 800 students to 629 students. ,..,, 2) The Initial Study indicates that the School District proposes to enter into a joint use agreement with the City for the use of Ham Park. Based on past history "appropriate times" for the City use of facilities has resulted in "no times that are appropriate." The City should assure that the Joint Use Agreement provides for specific uses, times and conditions under which the City and its residents can use the facilities which the School District can not arbitrarily cut off. Secondly, CEQA requires that mitigation measures be implementable and not deferred to some future uncertain date (Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (5th Dist. 1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 692,727-728 (270CaI.Rptr.650). If the EIR uses the Joint Use Agreement as a Mitigation Measure for the use of Ham Park, the Agreement must be executed by both parties prior to the project approval. 3) The proposed project will have a Potentially Significant Impact on Land Use and Planning because the proposed project does conflict with the existing City of Lynwood General Plan and the existing Lynwood Zoning Code. Appropriate mitigation is the amendment of the General Plan and the Zoning Code by the City. 4) The proposed project will have a Potentially Significant Impact on Noise because the proposed project will result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above existing levels without the project. 5) The proposed project will have a Potentially Significant Impact on Population and Housing because the proposed project removes homes from the existing housing market and there is no reduction in the housing needs as established by SCAG and enforced by HCD. Under proposed legislation the City may even be fined $1,000 per unit for the homes that the District removes. HCD is requiring the City to show that it can provide over 900 new additional units of housing (per the Regional Housing Allocation (RHNA) Ptan established by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The School District is posing to remove this much needed housing stock. 6) The proposed project will have a Potentially Significant Impact on Police Protection because in an actual emergency the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is the actual security agency that has responded to incidents at Lynwood High School and is the actual agency that will respond to the proposed project. The expense of the response by the Sheriff is currently born by the City. An appropriate mitigation measure would be a separate contract between the Sheriff and the District. 7) The proposed project will have a Potentially Significant Impact on Recreation because the proposed project reduces the actual number of acres of recreation space and reduces significantly the amount of time that that space can be used by the general public. According to the General Plan of the City of Lynwood there are only 46 acres of parkland within the City. Of this Ham Park represents 25 percent {25%) with 10 acres. Even including useable school sites there are only 97 acres of useable open space within the City. With a current population of over 69,000 persons there are only 1.4 acres of open space per 1,000 persons. The recommended standard is 4 acres per 1,000 persons, which means that the City of Lynwood should have 276 acres of open space or an additional 180 acres of useable open space. Appropriate mitigation would be for the District to replace this much needed recreational space at an alternate location. 8) Under the Alternatives Section of the Draft EIR the District should examine the alternative of "Centers of Excellence" as proposed by the City. This alternative proposes that the needs of the high school be met through construction of "Centers of Excellence." The proposed Centers of Excellence would be devoted to: 1) a small learning community, 2) partnerships with employers, community and higher education, and 3) college prep, career-related curriculum. The dispersal of students would have a beneficial impact on traffic and public services and may be the superior environmental alternative. The small learning community would include: academy only classes for 2- 4years, steam of teacher managers, limited voluntary enrollment, and a family like atmosphere. The Centers would provide administrator and counselor support and have other courses and activities outside of the academy. The partnership with employers community and higher education component would include a steering committee to govern the Center, parental involvement and support, business and community speakers and rote models, field trips, job shadowing, mentoring programs, workplace internships, and community service. The Center would also include articulation with post secondary education establishments. The college preparation program would include college entrance academy classes, broadly defined career classes, contextual, applied integrated curriculum and common teacher planning time. The program would also include project based learning and college and career planning, and articulation. The City would assist the District in identifying the appropriate academy sites, support the District with State financing, and cooperate in the mitigation of any adverse impacts that may be identified. The City believes that the Center of Excellence concept will reduce impacts to traffic and parking, services and utilities by distributing students over a broader area. The concept will also increase educational opportunities for more students. Examples of academies that have been created within California include the following: a. Hoover High School b. Advance Research and Technology (Fresno/Clovis) c. Culinary Academy (Paso Robles) d. Technology Academy (Beaumont) e. Technology and Hospitality (Pomona) f. New Media (Los Angeles) g. Concert Production (Los Angeles) h. Junior Police (Los Angeles) i. Human Services (Los Angeles) j. Graphic Arts/Multi-Media (Compton) Community Development 10) The School District should identify a contact person or department to provide information to the general public. City staff is receiving numerous phone calls and inquiries at the public counter regarding the "Facilities Master Plan." School District staff should not continue to rer"er citizens to the City of Lynwood offices. 11) Pursuant to the Lynwood Municipal Code, the School District should apply for the following: General Plan Amendment Conditional Use Permit Environmental Assessment The zoning applications would be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council at a minimum of two (~) public hearings. 12) The project may have potentially significant impacts that create a new source of substantial light or giare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. Construction of two story buildings, installing new impervious surfaces and additional parking areas would require more lighting. An appropriate mitigation measure would be a detailed lighting plan identifying light locations and intensity and directing light sources away from neighboring properties. 13) The project may have potentially significant impacts that create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. Construction of the high school is expected to take two (Z) years according to School District staff and their consultants. Emissions from construction equipment and dust would have a detrimental effect on properties in the vicinity unless a program to reduce air emissions is created, implemented and monitored. 14) The project may be located on expansive soil as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property. An appropriate mitigation measure would be a soil report that specifically identifies soil type and compaction statistics. 15) The project may substantially alter the existing drainage patter of the site or area, or substantially increase the rate or amount or surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off-site. Construction of buildings and installation of impervious surfaces will alter and drainage patterns and possible increase water flows. An appropriate mitigation measure would be detailed grading and drainage plans that identify additional impervious surfaces and runoff quantities entering City catch basins and storm drains. 16) The project may substantially degrade water quality. Construction activities and use of a high school would increase contaminants entering storm drains. An appropriate mitigation measure would be submittal of a Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan that is now mandated by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. Such plan would identify Best Management Practices to reduce silt and pollutants from entering storm drains. 17) The project may result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. A school is a more intensive land use than a park thereby generating additional noise. An appropriate mitigation measure would be a noise survey or acoustical study that identifies noise effects in the short- term during construction and potential noise levels in the long term. ~. 18) The project may substantially increase traffic hazards due to a design feature or incompatible use. An appropriate mitigation measure would be a detailed traffic analysis report from a licensed traffic engineer. The analysis should focus on the intersections of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Wright Road as well as residential intersections. 19) The project may result in inadequate emergency access. An appropriate mitigation measure would be to identify emergency access route or routes into all areas of the proposed high school grounds. 20) The proposed Lynwood Unified School District Facilities Master Plan will affect Lynwood on a citywide basis. An appropriate mitigation measure would be for the School District to perform a Master EIR to assess potentially significant impacts and cumulative impacts of all proposed new schools, school expansions and school renovations may create. Maybe the Ham Park EIR could be used as a focused EIR or "tier" EIR for future projects. 21) What would be the effect of Ham Park becoming a school pertaining to the deed restriction with Los Angeles County. The Ham Park deed states the park shall always remain a park? The Los Angeles County Attorney should prove a written determination to the City Attorney. Parks & Recreation Department 22) If Ham Park is turned into a school site without replacing the park and community center properties with equal facilities, more than 30% of the City's recreational activities will likely be lost. This is due to the fact that the City of Lynwood has a very limited inventory of park acreage, sports fields and community centers. With the loss of this park and community center there would likely be no place to relocate the activities currently conducted at this site. 23) Potential loss of the historical Ham House. 24) NRPA Park Acreage Recommendation -The National Recreation and Park Association is a national organization made up of Educators and Professionals in the field. This organization is a leading participant in the effort to set standards and guidelines for the field of Park and Recreation. 1. NRPA recommends 10 acres per 1,000 residents. So, for a city the size of the City of Lynwood there should be 700 acres of park facilities/Open Space land. 2. The City of Lynwood has approximately 40 acres and 70,000 residents (Census 2000). A. Lynwood Park = 24 acres B. Ham Park = 14 acres C. Los Amigos = 2 acres 3. The City of Lynwood is short 660 acres, so according to NRPA the City of Lynwood only has, approximately 6% of the 700 acres it is recommended that we should have, the present time. 4. With the elimination of Ham Park, the City would then drop from 6% to a bit over 3% of the recommended space. 25) If the new school is built at the Ham Park site, there will be no open playgrounds for the general public in areas that would be occupied by students due to security reasons. With this in mind, citizens who live in the area of Ham Park would have to travel to Lynwood City Park or to Los Amigos Community Park for space or services that would have been readily available in their own neighborhood. This would become more critically acute during the school hours of 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 26) Will property be bought elsewhere to replace the existing park? 27) Where will Ham Park be relocated? 28) Summer .Day Camp that operates Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from mid June through early September has a very large number of participants and is traditionally located at both the Youth Center as well as the community center located in Ham Park. The Lynwood Youth Center cannot adequately house the entire Summer Day Camp Program as well as its other various programs. Where will the youth be housed if Ham Park Community Center is not available? Public Works Deuartment 29) Traffic Circulation/Traffic Congestion• The proposed project may result in traffic circulation and congestion problems on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Wright Road where the main entrances to the school are most likely located. This is due to the fact that MLK is one of the City's major arterial and that carries high volume of traffic onto the southbound 710 Freeway during peak; hours, and that the roadway width of Wright Road is only 38 feet, which on accommodates one parking lane and one driving lane in each direction. Street widening may be necessary. 30) Close proximity to the 710 Freeway and Industrial Area: The proposed school boundaries are only 700 feet from the on-ramp to the 710 Freeway and is also immediately adjacent to the industrial area on Wright Road. Since MLK Boulevard and Wright Road, north of MLK Boulevard, are truck routes, this situation would expose school students to a lot of truck traffic. 31) Parking on adjacent local streets: Since the proposed school is a high school, it is anticipated that a number of students will drive to school. This will most likely cause spilled parking onto adjacent local streets. 32) Flood Area: The northwest portion of Ham Park is located in the 100-year flood zone. If the proposed school structures are located in the flood zone, they have to comply with the City's Flood Ordinance. 33) Traffic Signal Installation: Because of the close proximity to the Will P_ogers School on Duncan Avenue, the proposed school will likely aguravate the school traffic on MLK Boulevard and Duncan Avenue to the point that signalization is necessary at the intersection of Duncan Avenue and MLK Boulevard. 34) Impact on street pavement and utilities: The increase of vehicular traffic will likely result in more maintenance and more frequent roadway improvement of adjacent streets. Also, the increased use of water and sewer may require upgrading of these utility facilities to meet demand. 35) Suaaested Safest Routes to Schools Mag: The proposed school will cause modifications to the Suggested Safest Routes to Schools Map and construction of required improvements. r-. Los Angeles County Sheriff 36) The Initial Study indicates that construction of the proposed high school would have an insignificant impact to law enforcement services. This is an incorrect statement and that the impact to law enforcement services would be significant in the following ways: • Parking demands would require increased enforcement based on parking demands at the other Lynwood Unified School sites. • Traffic would be impacted for both vehicular and pedestrian. This area is in an industrial area and the Ham Park site is next to an on- ff ramp of a major freeway. • Demands for law enforcement services would increase, based on the enormous demands placed on the currently deployed field patrol deputies and the single School Resource Deputy, who is already responsible for the current 14 schools in the Lynwood Unified School District. • The local surrounding residential and commercial streets would be impacted by traffic. These streets were not originally designed, in circa 1921, to accommodate the current expanding population and vehicular demands. Limited available land makes the widening of these streets impossible. Thank you for the opportunity to review the Initial Study. The City of Lynwood looks forward to reviewing the Draft Environmental Impact Report and participating in "scoping meetings."
