has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a truck terminal
on their property located at 4520 Maywood Avenue, and transmitting
the following supporting documents:
1. Request for a Conditional Use Permit and information
supporting the permit application;
2. Notice of a Public Hearing, copies of notification
letters to owners and tenants in the area. and
affidavits of posting and mailing;
3. Environmental Information Form;
4. Engineer's Report.
A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc., was found to be categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act process, since
they are using an existing truck terminal and the facility is not
being substantially expanded. It is the opinion of the Director of
Community Services that the proposed operation will pose no adverse
effects to the City of Vernon and will not have a significant effect
on the environment, and no mitigating measures are required. The
conditions for the use permit will depend on whether the applicant
will have access to Exchange Avenue. Consequently, the conditions
will be submitted at the City Council Meeting, or if necessary, the
matter will be deferred until the following meeting.
Mr. Vaits also submitted the following information and
conditions to be set with regard to the conditional use permit.
The conditional use permit covers two parcels, one owned by
Richard and Joyce Parker, the other by L.A. Junction Railroad.
A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc., has applied for the Conditional
Use Permit to operate a truck terminal and has also opened escrow to
purchase both parcels. It is recommended that the Conditional Use
Permit be granted with the following conditions:
1989;
1. Railroad and Parker property be merged before May 1.
2. The northerly 14.5 feet portion of the railroad right-of
way be deeded to the City of Vernon and a 10 foot sidewalk, curb,
gutter, driveway and pavement be constructed upon the deeded property;

Motion carried.
It was moved by Gonzales, seconded by Ybarra that the con-
tinued Public Hearing (from the City Council Meeting held February
7, 1989) be opened to consider an application for a variance from Del
C., and Diane Molinari for property located at 2035 51st Street, the
time being 5:30 p.m. Motion carried.
Victor Vaits briefly addressed the City Council on this
matter and presented the architect's revised plan, and based on this
proposal, recommended that the variance be denied.
Mr. Del Molinari, property owner, came before the City Coun-
cil to address this matter and objected to the architect's proposed
new rendering.
Mr. Bruce Gillings, Architect, addressed the City Council
with regard to this matter and advised that this rendering was drawn
up only as a option; however, stated that it is basically not a
workable plan or proposal for the property owner.
Mr. Vaits again recommended that the variance be denied and
that his original recommendation, dated January 4, 1989, be withdrawn
based on the revised proposal.
Communication from Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Clerk, dated
January 5, 1989, (Deferred from City Council Meeting held February 7,
1989), was presented, advising that Del C. and Diane Molinari have
requested a variance from the Amended Interim Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, as amended by Ordinance 979, Section 4.2.8, Development
Standards, for their proposed building located at 2035 51st Street.
The lot is small (approximately 0.91 acres) and the existing building
which covers the entire lot has been condemned due to earthquake
damage. The proposed new building will also cover the entire site,
except for truck loading and parking stalls. Automobile parking will
be provided on the roof of the new structure. The requested variance
will allow the building to be constructed with truck maneuvering in

evidence:
1. Application for variance;
2. Affidavit of posting and mailing;
3. Notice of Public Hearing;
1
4. Property owners list statement, property owners list
and 300 foot radius map.
It is the opinion of the Director of Community Services that the pro-
posed variance will pose no adverse effects to the City of Vernon or
any other surrounding area. The variance is consistent with the Gen-
eral Plan as adopted by the City of Vernon and will not have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, and no mitigating measures are re-
quired.
Due to the unusually small size of the lot, it is hereby recommended
that the variance be granted contingent upon the following conditions:
1. The entire frontage be reconstructed which includes
new sidewalk, curb, gutter and driveways;
2. That the building be constructed and operated in
accordance with the appropriate codes, rules,
regulations and permit fees as adopted by the City of
Vernon;
3. The proposed building be constructed with proper vehicle
site lines to the public right-of-way.
It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Ybarra, that the
Public Hearing be closed, the time being 5:50 p.m. Motion carried.
It was moved by Ybarra, seconded by Davis, that the request
for a variance from Del C. and Diane Molinari for property located
at 2035 51st Street be denied and the City Clerk's previous
recommendation, dated January 4, 1989, be rejected. Motion carried.
At this time Mr. Molinari came before the City Council and
asked for reasons as to why his request for a variance was being
denied.
David B. Brearley, City Attorney, responded to Mr.
Molinari's questions.
