Assessor Parcel Number 6169-011-004 APPLICANT: Laurence C. Harris Pacer International BACKGROUND: The subject site totals 76 acres and is developed with a 323,368 square foot building. The subject property is located on the south side of Imperial Highway, between Alameda Avenue and Plum Street, located in the "M" (Manufacturing) zone. The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to construct a 14 foot high sound barrier, and sight obscuring fence. The approval would grant the applicant to build an additional 6 feet above the maximum allowed (8 feet). ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: The subject property is located in the "M" (Manufacturing) zone, however it is immediately adjacent to a residential zone, and residential properties. The nature of the use (distribution center) of the property is consistent with the "M" zone; it negatively impacts the surrounding residential properties with noise and vibration. Despite the existing Lynwood Municipal Codes that limit business activities, hours, noise decibels, etc. the operation of the business continues to impact the general wellness of the surrounding community. Traditionally, heavy commercial or industrial uses are buffered from residential uses with open space, roads, or other light commercial uses. This specific location does not have the traditional buffers typically seen in other parts of the City. In order to preserve property rights, while maintaining and improving the quality of life to property owners and residents, the applicant is proposing a sound barrier and sight obscuring fence that is intended to mitigate the impacts that the distribution center has on adjacent properties. 1 Variance: Under Section 25-135-6, Major Variances,, certain findings must be made in order to approve VAR No. 2008-04. In order to approve the VAR, the Commission must find: "There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone." Due to the size and shape of the property, exceptional circumstances do exist that do not generally apply to properties in the surrounding area. "The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question." In order to maximize the use of this property, the requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the subject property. "Granting the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity." The variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity. "Granting the variance will be consistent with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code." The proposed development meets the development standards of the zoning code, taking into consideration the public health, safety and welfare. "The variance will not grant special privilege to the applicant." The requested variance does not grant special privileges to the applicant that has not already enabled surrounding properties to develop in a similar fashion. "The variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Lynwood." The proposed variance is consistent with the goals and policy of the Lynwood General Plan in that the proposal is to maintain and improve the quality of life of the City's residents and business community. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is determined to be categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Section 15303 (e). 2 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing on the matter and upon conclusion of that hearing, adopt Resolution No. 3221 and findings to approve Variance No. 2008-05 as conditioned.

Access from pedestrian-oriented streets shall be avoided unless no other reasonable access is available, such as in lots with a single-street frontage and no alley. Where alleys are present, driveways leading to parking lots, and loading and service areas shall be accessed from the alley. Lots with more than one street frontage and no alley shall locate vehicular access along the street with the least amount of pedestrian activity. All loading and service drives shall be of a depth that prevents loading and service vehicles from obstructing the sidewalk and roadway. Access ® Driveways shall not dominate the street frontage, and driveway widths shall be minimized to reduce their presence along the street. Where feasible, driveways shall be consolidated within the single lot and shared with adjacent properties to minimize their encroachment upon sidewalks. ® Shared driveway agreements shall be utilized where possible for shared parking, and loading and service areas. To avoid encroaching upon sidewalks and creating uneven pedestrian surfaces, driveway slopes shall be located between the roadside edge of the sidewalk and the curb. Loading and Service Area Location Loading, service, and refuse areas shall be located at the interior of the lot and screened from view with walls, trellises, planting, berms, or by integration into the design of the building. Walls shall not exceed 6 feet in height. Solid walls shall be landscaped to soften their appearance and shall be made of finished materials to match the primary building. Decorative elements, variation in materials, and articulation shall be used. 1 .3 PARKING REQUIREMENTS PER LAND USE TYPE For new development within the Specific Plan area, the number of required parking spaces (on-street and off-street) shall be based on the following table. Parking space calculations resulting in a small fraction shall require a whole space. Parkin Requirements Retail/Commercial component ® 1/300 square feet of retail. ® 1/400 square feet of commercial. 0 1/100 square feet of restaurant. Multi-Tenant retail/commercial 1/100 square feet. Residential component Tandem parking permitted in garage Additional Innovative Measures. 1. No parking is required for uses under 2,500 square feet if parking is available within 600 feet. 2. Allow curbside parking spaces and shared spaces within 600 feet to be counted in the requirement to allow further reductions in off-street parking for mixed-use projects and those with good transit access. 3. Curb parking along residential uses will count toward visitor parking requirements only. The minimum linear frontage is 22 feet per parallel parking stall and 9 feet for head-in and angled parking. Off-Street Parkin Off-street parking Shall be located to the rear and/or interior of a lot such that its visibility from a street shall be minimized. At-grade, aboveground, or At grade parking structures shall have a minimum frontage as belowground parking outlined in Chapter 4.0 Architectural Design Guidelines. structures shall be permitted. Surface parking lots • Shall be placed between the structure and a side or rear lot line. Where a lot fronts onto two or more streets, parking shall be located accordingly e Along the street with the least amount of commercial activity; or ® Along the street with least amount of pedestrian activity if the lot is located along two or more commercial streets with equal amounts of commercial activity. Garages single-family Whether attached or detached shall be set back at least 10 feet residential behind the primary front facades of the buildings they serve. The primary front facade shall comprise at least 50 percent of the overall width of the primary residence and the 10-foot setback shall not be measured from projections such as bay windows and porches, but from the facade of the wall which encloses the building. 1.5 CUSTOMIZED USES Each village area is defined in precise terms to ensure that the range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses respects the intent of the plan and the conditions encountered in each area of the site.

Street Intersections: The major street crossing at Tweedy Boulevard at Long Beach Boulevard is enhanced by pedestrian crossing that is paved with stamped or colored concrete as illustrated in Figure 5.3. 9. Landmark Element: A landmark element in the form of an archway or gateway is planned across the intersection of Tweedy Boulevard (entrance to the City) and Long Beach Boulevard. Planning Division counter hours are between 7:00-10:00 A.M. and 3:00-6:00 P.M. Monday-Thursday only. If you have any questions, please call at (310) 603-0220 extension 247.
