The applicant will be required to obtain a variance from the Lynwood Planning Commission in order to construct the proposed project. The variance request includes a reduction in the minimum project size from 10,000 square feet to 5,124 square feet; a reduction in the minimum lot width from 100 feet to approximately 35 feet; and a reduction in the required side yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet, 10 inches. BACKGROUN D In 2007, the Design Review Board was presented with the applicant's proposal and provided recommendations to the Lynwood Planning Commission for its consideration. On July 10, 2007 the applicant obtained approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2007 -12 and Variance No. 2007 -04 from the Lynwood Planning Commission to construct a similar proposal at the subject property. Due to 1 development inactivity on the part of the applicant, City approvals expired on July 10, 2008. ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION The building and site design has been updated from the applicant's original proposal. With regards to building design, the applicant is requesting to construct a 23 foot high contemporary building, which contains an interior 488 square foot storage mezzanine. The proposed building elevations depict the use of decorative architectural materials including cultured stone, molding and stucco. The current building design provides an articulated roof design and includes the use of durable terracotta roof tiles. Additionally, the window area along the front elevation of the building has been increased in order to create a strong store -front presence. The current site design depicts the building to be placed at the front of the subject property, which is consistent with existing building settings along Atlantic Avenue. The proposed site design includes 4 off - street parking spaces and 1 handicap accessible stall at the rear of the building. Vehicle access to the subject property would be provided on Fernwood Avenue. The location of the trash enclosure will be screened within the building footprint. The applicant proposes to provide approximately 660 square feet of landscaping, which is almost double the amount required by the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC). The landscape plan depicts a variety of plant types including shrubs, perennials and ground cover. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Design Review Board consider the design of the proposed commercial building, provide recommendations and support the project to the Lynwood Planning Commission.
