The Planning Commission previously approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-25 on October 8, 2002. to construct eight attached residences, consisting of two buildings, two stories in height, with two existing residences remaining for a total of ten residential condominiums. The applicant did not proceed with the project in a timely manner and the Planning Commission approval became null and void.

Although construction is near completion, the tentative tract map expired in April, 2008. The applicant is nearing a Final Inspection from Building and Safety. However, in order to do so, as well as satisfy requirements of the State, County, and City, the tract map must be current. Therefore the applicant has re-applied for the approval of Tentative Tract Map 2009-O1.

We strongly urge the Commission to DENY the SUBDIVISION for the above property. I have 25 years of experience in residential construction, commercial construction, high and heavy construction, civil and land engineering development and public works construction and engineering experience. Projects include The Getty Center, LAX United Airlines Expansion and Renovation, West San Fernando Courthouse and Detention Center, 2000 Avenue of the Stars, MGM Tower-Constellation Blvd, AIG Tower- Constellation Blvd for starters. My experience is unquestionable. The property that is subjected to the approval for the Tentative Tract Map has been fraudulently taken from Mr. Burgos. Mr. Burgos has proof that is being transmitted for Trial Hearing on May 19, 2009 by his Council. From 1990 through now I have been involved with the property Owner, Ramiro Burgos. [ have seen what has transpired in the last three years with this Development fraud and this issue needs to be addressed to everyone in-this community up through the local and state government offices. I have 19 years of solid community support and service in the area that is mentioned for subdivision. In addition, the subdivision is not warranted in my opinion in this location because the majority of the town people around this area are composed of mostly renters. The location for subdivision needs to be classified as apartments to support the local environment now and in the future. Condominiums cannot support local environment because of the income per capital household ratio in this area and the future looks as the market is going to be getting worse. In addition, all areas for rent in the area are 99% occupied and more rental area is required due to the problematic issue faced with current residential foreclosure and job loss, currently. We also suggest that the Commission reviews the HISTORY of Vineyard Bank over the last three years. This suggestion should be taken in all seriousness before any thought of approval or disapproval of the Map is taken into consideration by the City of Lynwood. This comment is based upon the true reality of what we have seen happen to Ramiro Burgos over the last several years. [n closing, we respectfully recommend that the Planning Commission does not allow for the Tentative Tract Map approval at this time. We appreciate the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions about this important matter, please contact me at 310-792-9016. Sincerely, 11~~~' Robert Nagle 615 Esplanade, unit 502 Redondo Beach, CA, 90277 AGENDA ITEM # 11 CUP NO. 2009-02 DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: BACKGROUND: May 12, 2009 Honorable Chair and Planning Commission Members Jonathan Colin, Director of Development Services Michael Allen, Planning Consultant Conditional Use Permit Modification 2009-02 3598 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard City of Lynwood The project site consists of a single story, 28,853 square foot building with 16 parking spaces accessed from an adjacent alley. The building is currently occupied by the Human Potential Consultants, LLC (HPC) as an Adult Resource Center, operating under Resolution No. 2501 approved July 26, 1994. A Conditional Use Permit was requested for approval, expanding the current permitted use, and was denied per Resolution 3215 and 3216. The applicant therefore elected to operate under the pre-existing conditional use permit. Since the review over the summer, more in-depth research has been done, discovering two conflicting resolutions for the property at 3598 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Both resolutions are dated and signed exactly the same, July 26, 1994. In 1994 the CUP was brought to the Planning Commission six times, and appealed to the City Council once. As a result of the City Council appeal, the application was taken back to the Planning Commission the sixth time, with the direction to approve with conditions. City staff has reviewed all correspondence from 1994, worked with the City attorney as well as HPC to determine which copy is most accurate. At the direction of the City attorney, staff is bringing the resolution for your review and approval. ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: Of the two copies, below are both versions of Resolution No. 2501: Version 1 Version 2 Pi, line 1 "Whereas, the Lynwood Planning "Whereas, the Lynwood Planning Commission, pursuant to law, on Commission, pursuant to law, on June 12, 1994 conducted a ublic June 12, and Jul 26, 1994 conducted 1 hearing on the subject application; a public hearing on the subject and" a lication• and" P2, #10 Provide a signed and notarized Provide fifteen (15) parking spaces covenant reserving nine (9) parking on site, and one space reserved for spaces for subject use off-site. van loading and unloading.

P3, #32 Provide an evacuation plan with a N/A designated assembly area in the event of an emer en P3, #33 Occupancy load shall not exceed N/A 135 persons, including patients and em to ees. Of note, the most conflicting conditions include #10 where version 1 requires 9 off-site parking spaces and version 2 does not. Additionally, #18 in version 2 limits patients to 50 adult clients and #33 in version 1 limits occupancy to 135 persons, including patients and employees. Parking is a primary concern when addressing this use. According to Section 25-65-6 of the Lynwood Municipal Code, "convalescent facility" requires that the Adult Resource Center provide one parking space for each four (4) clients and one parking space for the maximum number of employees assigned to one shift. Based upon staffs-analyses for that use, the municipal code would requires a total of 24 parking spaces; 19 parking spaces for the 75 beds, and 5 parking space per the maximum number of employees assigned to one shift. Resolution 2501 Version 1 requires a total of 24 parking spaces; Version 2 requires 15 parking spaces. However, the current business and the business authorized under Resolution No. 2501 is not a convalescent facility. The existing business is an adult treatment facility that does not allow clients to bring vehicles to the site, nor does it allow clients to have visitors. There is no parking calculation in the Lynwood Municipal Code; therefore the proposal should take into consideration the existing use when calculating the parking requirements. 3 In terms of the number of clients and capacity, both versions are actually not that different. Version 1 allows up to 135 persons, including patients and employees. Version 2 only mentions a maximum of 50 clients, with no mention of staff. Because the intended use in 1994 included women with children, allowing up to 50 adult clients implied that each client could have at least one child, potentially adding up to 100 participants, and a staff of about 30. Both versions reach approximately 130 persons, when taking into consideration the intended use of the building. Currently HPC does not treat children, only admits adult women to the program, operates with a 15/1 clients to staff ratio, and the maximum shift includes 5 employees. Under the requirements of Version 1, HPC would be allowed to admit 120 clients. and up to 8 employees because Versiuri 1 dues not specify or distinguish a maximum clientele. Under Version 2 HPC would be directly limited to 50 adult clients. In the "Scope of Project" provided with the original approved Women and Children Center in 1994, the program served approximately 50 families (approximately 120 women and children). The current program is for women only; therefore staff feels that the facility can easily accommodate 75 clients. The facility currently supports 50 sleeping rooms. According to Building Code, two persons can sleep in each room, allowing up to 100 clients. Currently the facility is a 24 hour operation; however, between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. clients are driven by staff to off-site locations (other facilities) for trainings. At the return at 1:00 p.m. lunch is served, additional classes are held and after a 5:00 p.m. dinner, is free time till lights out at 11:00 p.m. Given the current use and facilities, staff has prepared an alternative Resolution that combines elements of both versions. Staff has included conditions from both resolutions, and modified conditions that may conflict. More specifically, the Resolution addresses the following concerns: - Parking: Provide 16 parking spaces, including one space reserved for van loading and unloading. The van space shall be so located along the alley such that the van will not block the sidewalk when backing out of the designated parking space. - Clients shall be restricted to adult females only, not to exceed 75 clients located and housed at the project site. - There shall be no client visitation. Visitations from governmental or private agencies are permitted, but must be documented and reported to the Planning Commission as requested. 4 - Applicant must provide private onsite security between the hours of 1:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Saturday through Sunday. - There shall be a periodic review of the applicant's compliance with all of the requirements at a time specified by the Development Services Director, but in no event longer than 6 months or as requested by the Planning Commission. - Resolution No. 2501 is null and void. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Department has determined the proposed project `is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 Class i (a). Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing on the matter and upon conclusion of that hearing, adopt Resolution No. 3226 approve Conditional Use Permit Modification No. 2009-02.

BACKGROUND Section 25-10-12 (a) of the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) addresses the height of fences, walls, and hedges, and indicates that the maximum height of all fences, walls, and hedges at all locations, except. in the required front yard setback, is six feet (6~. This section clearly identifies that fences may not be more than six (6~ feet in height; however, it does not indicate the maximum height allowed within the front yard setback for either fencing or hedges. The Fences, Walls, and Hedges regulations have been amended multiple times in the past twenty years. The first amendment in 1991 was intended to incorporate new property development and design standards for fences, walls and hedges in the non- residential zones. The purpose was brought on by the City's desire to eliminate the elements which contributed to a negative city image. At that time, along most of the City's commercial and industrial corridors there were major elements of blight. Razor and barbed wire on fences and block walls were openly visible from the street. In addition, the lack of landscaped screening, deteriorating fences and walls, poor design, and low maintenance contributed to the disorder. Following the introduction of regulations for fences, walls and hedges, the .City's Planning Commission and City Council adopted new design guidelines to include the residential zones, specifying the different requirements within front yard set-backs as well as corner lots. In 1994 the Planning Commission appointed a subcommittee to look into possible regulations in response to many incompatible fences being constructed in the front yards of single family residences. After the review, the Commission concluded that a 4 foot fence (as previously permitted) gave very limited protection and primarily served to keep dogs and children out or in. The Commission decided that the best action to take 1 was to restrict new fences entirely in the 20 foot front yard setback. Front yard fences were only permitted if it could be shown that it was necessary to prevent significant trespass. Similar standards were applied to side yard fences on corner lots and single family houses and units in multiple family zones. Because of a great number of requests, the Planning Commission made it possible to erect -fences to be constructed within the front yard set-back, not to exceed 48" (four feet). In doing so, the Commission did not re-implement the standards related to the height of hedges, leaving no guidelines at all. ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION The ordinance regulating fences, walls and hedges is intended to provide generally acceptable standards of development for Lynwood. More specifically, regulations for fences, walls and hedges exist for a variety of reasons, including aesthetics, uniformity, and safety. There have been many complaints regarding the lack of standards for hedges in the LMC. Currently Section 25-10-12 addresses the height of fences and walls; however it no longer regulates the height of hedges in the front yard setback. For safety reasons, fencing in the front yard must be open (transparent) approximately 66%. To address this issue staff has developed the following options to be considered: Option #1 Leave the ordinance as is. However, the issue will not go away. There will continue to be safety hazards as well as impacted views to and from neighboring properties. Option #2 Amend the code to prohibit hedges in the front yard set-back. Although, hedges and other landscaping usually-improve the aesthetics of a property, and a hedge limited to the height of a block wall is no different than the block wall itself. Option #3 Permit hedges in the front yard set-back that meets certain development standards. Hedges that are permitted in the front yard set-back no higher than the thirty six inch (36'~ maximum height for walls will not negatively impact aesthetics and will not impact the safety of property owners as well as the surrounding community members. Staff considers option #3 is the preferred option. Staff does believe that open front yards with limited barriers is a more desirable appearance, however this does not 2 provide the residents and property owners with the sense of privacy and protection of their own property. Of the survey conducted, every city permits hedges in the front yard set-back. The majority of cities limit the height of the hedge to the height of the walls. In this case, the proposed development standard is to permit hedges to no more than thirty six inches (36'x. A 36" hedge will provide the barrier often desired by property owners, and for safety purposes keeping in-line with the 66% opening for fences in the front yard, hedges will be restricted to 36". The attached ordinance has proposed deletions struck through and proposed additions in bold. In addition to adding the height requirement of hedges, staff has re-written the majority of Section 25-10-12 to be more comprehensible. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is determined to be categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Section 15061. (B)(3). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 3235, approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2009-01 and recommending that the City Council approve the attached ordinance.

Front Setback Current requirement of a 10 foot minimum. Side Street Setback Current requirement of 10 foot minimum. Rear Setback 5 foot minimum. 1.3 PARKING REQUIREMENTS PER LAND USE TYPE Parking requirements need to be tailored to the land use mix for each specific development project. It is recommended that proponents of development projects do a parking demand analysis based on the land use mix and the generation rates in the context of the transit location. Parking Requirements Retail/~omniercial component ~ 7/30o square feet of retail. • i/400 square feet of cununerciai. • 1/100 square feet of restaurant. Multi-Tenant retail/commercial 1/100 square fleet __ ~ Residential component i Tandem parking permitted in garage. i Additional Innovative Measureso 1. No parking is required for uses under 2,500 square feet if parking is available within 600 feet. Z. 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. 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.
