and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858(e) authorizes amendments to an interim ordinance which "shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the termination" of the interim ordinance; and WHEREAS, it has been discovered that imposition of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance will have an unreasonably restrictive effect on pre-existing buildings, uses and off- street parking and loading areas in the City of Vernon; and (a) Buildings with a square footage of 50,000 to 75,000 square feet cannot be converted to warehouses in the M Zone since they would become non-conforming uses in violation of section 4.4.2; and 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 the City (b) Buildings in the City of Vernon are often con- verted from industrial use to warehouse use and back, or a combination thereof, depending on owner- ship, availability of tenants, and economic condi- tions, and it would be reasonable to allow such conversions to continue for a term of twenty-five years; and (c) The one (1) year time period in Section 4.4.3a for conforming property with "minor, temporary, or auxilialry buildings or structures" and the two (2) year period in section 4.4.4a for conforming an "off-street parking and loading area" do not give sufficient time for landowners and users to properly plan for and to implement the provisions of those sections; and (d) Zoning Ordinance Section 4.4 states the intent of the City Council" to permit these nonconform- ities to continue for a reasonable length of time"; and WHEREAS, inquiries for locating a trade school in of Vernon have been received, but the Zoning Or- 25 dinance contains no provision for such a use; and 26 27 28 2 WHEREAS, the minimum truck parking requirements in 4.2.7 for industrial, manufacturing assembly, 22 warehouses, distribution facilities, storage, cold storage, 23 and similar uses are the same for each use and require one 24 truck parking space per 10,000 square feet of gross floor 25 area; and 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Section (a) A trade school would be an advantageous addi- tion to the City and would provide training for employees of industrial and other uses in the city; and (b) The siting of an educational facility in the Ci ty would pose particular problems of insulating and protecting the students from the noise and traffic and hazards of an industrial climate so that a conditional use permit should be required by amending Sections 3.5.3 for the M-Zone and 3.7.3 for the C-M Zone; and (c) The present parking standards for a school calling for one parking space for classroom were intended for elementary schools and need to be modified for a trade school by amending Section 4.2.6; and (a) Industrial, manufacturing assembly, similar uses have less need for truck parking and 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 tains spaces than the other uses; and (b) One truck parking space for each 20,000 square feet of gross floor area for industrial, manufac- turing assembly, and similar uses, would be reasonable; and (c) Section 4.2.7 contains a provision authorizing the Director of Community Services to increase the number of on-site truck parking and loading spaces at his discretion which provision will no longer be needed with the amendments to Section 4.2.7 and Section 4.2.8 (Development Standards); herein, and WHEREAS, Zoning Ordinance Sections 4.2.8 which con- development standards for off-street parking and loading 18 facilities needs to be clarified because: 19 20 (a) It contains no layout provisions for 21 automobile parking lots, the dimensions of which 22 will vary depending on whether parking spaces are 23 perpendicular or at an angle and the aisles widths 24 of which will vary from 13 to 27 feet; and 25 26 (b) Standards for two-way truck access presently 27 call for a minimum width of 27 feet, but 20 feet is 28 4 1 sufficient if it does not traverse a parking lot; 2 and 3 4 (c) Overhead heights for vehicle access and park- 5 ing need clarification; and 6 7 WHEREAS, the City Council has approved several con- 8 ditional use permits to allow the continuance of truck ter- 9 minals as non-conforming uses in the M-Zone, but which were 10 otherwise prohibited in that zone; and 1] 12 (a) The conditional use permits were required 13 based on the prior zoning ordinance, specifically 14 Vernon City Code Section l8A.l which authorizes the 15 continuance of freighting and trucking terminals as 16 pre-existing uses subject to obtaining a condi- 17 tional use permit for "any extension or expansion 18 of such use"; and 19 20 (b) The current Zoning Ordinance needs to be 21 clarified by including a similar provision and by 22 defining "extension" of a pre-existing use to in- 23 clude continuance by change in occupancy; and 24 25 WHEREAS, the proposed amendments and additions to 26 the Amended Interim Zoning Ordinance are consistent with the 27 proposed General plan. 28 5 1 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON HEREBY ORDAINS: 2 SECTION 1: Findinqs. 3 The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds 4 and determines that the recitals contained hereinabove are 5 true and correct. 6 SECTION 2: Amendment to Section 3.5.3. 7 Section 3.5.3 of the Amended Interim Comprehensive 8 Zoning Ordinance is amended to read: 9 3.5.3 Uses Which May Be Permitted By Conditional 10 Use Permit.
