has requested a variance from the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
Section 26.4.2-8(c), Development Standards for the property
located at 4223 District Boulevard in the City of Vernon. The
Variance is to allow the use of five non -conforming truck loading
spaces. The applicant has proposed to recess two of the five
truck loading docks 70 feet back from the Public Right -of -Way,
thus complying with the length requirements for truck loading
spaces. However, due to the physical arrangements of the
supporting columns, the combined width of the two recessed truck
loading spaces will only be 19 feet 7 inches. The remaining
three truck loading spaces will remain 9.5 feet in width and 50
feet in length. All the loading spaces, however, will be
restricted to trucks that do not extend into the Public Right -of -
Way.
Herewith is the following evidence:
1. Staff report.
2. Application for variance.
3. Notice of Public Hearing, copies of notification
letters to owners and tenants in the area and affidavits of
posting and mailing.

gutter and sidewalk including suitable barriers to prevent direct

of 50.7 feet in length on the site prior to the completion of the
construction of the recessed docks.
c. Until said construction has been complete,

d. The usage of the truck loading spaces shall be
limited so that any truck parked at the loading docks does not
extend into the street Right -of -Way as shown on the Master Plan
of Streets, dated June 16, 1992.

of this restriction and a condition stating this shall be placed

use of the parking, access, or loading area(s) allowed by this
variance shall be discontinued unless brought into compliance
with all applicable standards for parking, access, and loading
areas set forth in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. It is the
intent of the City Council that said parking, access, or loading
area(s) be treated in the same manner as a legal nonconforming
use subject to section 26.4.E-4(b).
