Communication from Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Clerk, dated December 12, 1990, was presented, advising that Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company has requested a Variance from section 26.4.6-4 (Inadequate Off-Street Parking, Access or Loading) for the site located at 4900 Pacific Boulevard. The company manufactures large pieces of mechanical equipment employing over 500 people, and are proposing to expand their existing 260,630 square foot building by 5,034 square feet. The company has a unique operation requiring only a few truck loadings a week. The Zoning Ordinance states that compliance with off-street parking and loading requirements shall occur at the time of any expansion or structural alteration of the building on the subject lot, and based on the size of their buildings, Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company would be required to provide six truck loading spaces and fourteen truck parking spaces. Transmitted herewith is the following evidence: 1. Application for Variance 2. Affidavit of posting and mailing 3. Notice of Public Hearing 4. Engineer'S Report 5. Letter from Industrial Sheet Metal Fabricators (located near the applicant) dated December 10, 1990, supporting the granting of the variance. This has been reviewed by the Director of Community Services and the City Attorney, and it is hereby recommended that the Variance be granted contingent upon the following Conditions: 1. Upon any change in use or occupancy of all or a portion of the site, the entire site shall be made to conform to all truck and auto parking requirements and all truck loading requirements. 2. No street truck loading or parking shall occur as a by-product of Angeles Sanitary Can Machine's operation. 3. Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company shall maintain five conforming truck loading or truck parking spaces or a combination thereof on the subject site. It is further recommended that the following findings be made by Council in conjunction with the granting of the Variance: 1. Angelus Sanitary Can Machine has a unique situation because it is located on a large site (10 acres). The site was completely built out in accordance with past codes and due to the nature of the business, they only require two truck loading needs per week and require infrequent deliveries by small trucks and vans. 2. A portion of Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company's existing facility was developed in 1910 on a section of the current site. Since that time the site has grown to its current size. There is no vacant land in the area for them to develop onto. 41~3 I I City Council Minutes page 5 December 18, 1990 3. The Variance will not adversely affect the interests of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the premises in question. 4. The operation is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 5. The granting of the permit does not constitute the granting of a special privilege which is inconsistent with the limitations of other nearby properties, since Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company's operation is very unique. They employ 500 people on a ten acre site, yet only produce two truckloads of equipment a week. The machinery manufactured on this site is very intri- cate and each piece of equipment takes from 500 to 2,500 man-hours to produce. They expected to manufacture 150 150 pieces of equipment in 1990. 6. The strict application of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Code would create a hardship on Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company, by requiring them to demolish a portion of their already crowded facility to construct unneeded truck loading and parking spaces. Peter Lynch of Palmar Corporation addressed the City council on behalf of Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company and was available to answer any questions the council might have. It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Gonzales, to close the Public Hearing with regard to the request by Angeles Sanitary Can Machine Company for a Variance, the time being 5:40 p.m. Motion carried. It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Davis, that the communication and supporting documents from the City Clerk, dated December 12, 1990, be received and filed; that the City council make the Findings, Numbers 1 thru 6 as recommended; and that the Variance be granted contingent upon the aforementioned Conditions, Numbers 1 thru 3.
