THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON HEREBY ORDAINS:
10
SECTION 1: The city Council of the City of Vernon hereby
11
finds and determines that the recitals contained hereinabove are
12
true and correct.
13
SECTION 2: Because
of
a
typographical
error,
the
l4
definition for "Right-of-way, street" in section 26.2.14 contains an
15
extra line which should have been deleted.
Said definition is
16
17
hereby amended to read as follows (the balance of "section 26.2.14:
Definitions (R)" shall remain unchanged):
18
"Riaht-of-way. Street shall mean the existing or proposed
19
future ultimate width of a public or private right-of-way as
20
determined by the Master Plan of Streets of the City of Vernon."
21
SECTION 3: In section 26.3.5-2 three errors exist:
22
( 1) In subparagraph (b), the cross reference to Sec.
23
26.4.5-8 is incorrect.
24
(2) In subparagraph (c), the term "Residence, temporary"
25
differs from section 26.4.5-3.
26
(3) In subparagraph (f), a comma was inadvertently
27
inserted in such a manner that it might be misconstrued to approve
28
all warehouses and wholesale uses of whatever size as permitted uses

in the General Industry Zone. This does not represent the intent of
the city Council, conflicts with section 26.4.6-8, and is
inconsistent with the corresponding provision in subparagraph (b) of
section 26.3.6-2 in which the comma was correctly omitted.
Subparagraphs (b), (c), and (f) of section 26.3.5-2 are
amended to read as follows (the balance of "section 26.3.5-2.
Permitted uses" shall remain unchanged) :
(b) Residential dwellinq, sinqle familY or independent
living facility in accordance with Sec. 26.4.5.
(c) Residential unit-temporary in accordance with Sec.
26.4.5-3.
(f) Warehouses and wholesale uses including accessory
warehouses with a floor area of 50,000 square feet or less per lot
or parcel.
SECTION 4: The list of ordinances in subparagraph (d) of
section 26.4.6-3 inadvertently failed to mention Ordinance Nos. 946
and 959, and the adoption dates for some of the other ordinances are
incorrectly referred to as the effective dates. Subparagraph (d) of
section 26.4.6-3 is amended to read as follows (the balance of
"section 26.4.6-3. Removal of non-conforming building, structures,
and uses" shall remain unchanged):
(d) Where the non-conformity results from the adoption of
Ordinance No. 946 on January 17, 1984, Ordinance No. 959 on April 1,
1986, Ordinance No. 975 on April 5, 1988, Ordinance No. 976 on May
17, 1988, Ordinance No. 979 on December 22, 1988, Ordinance No. 982
on April 18, 1989, or from any other ordinance adopted prior to
Ordinance No. 982, within forty (40) years of January 1, 1989,
except as provided in Sec. 26.4.6-8.

SECTION 5: Because of a need for clarification and an
incorrect reference to a public agency, subparagraph (b) (5) of
section 26.5.2-9, is amended to read as follows (the balance of
"section 26.5.2-9. Standard conditions for specific facilities"
shal1 remain unchanged):
(5) The facility has received a permit from the South
Coast Air Quality Management District and any other required State
or federal agency.
SECTION 6: Subparagraph (c) of section 26.4.6-4 was
designed to require a non-conforming building or use to bring its
existing loading docks into conformity with the size requirements of
section 26.4.2-8 within five years of the date of its adoption.
However it can be read to mean that a non-conforming building or use
must also add the required number of loading docks pursuant to
section 26.4.2-7. In order to avoid such a misconstruction and to
clarify the intent of the city Council of the City of Vernon,
subparagraph (c) of Section 26.4.6-4 is amended to read as follows
(the balance of "section 26.4.6-4. Inadequate off-street parking,
access or loading" shall remain unchanged) :
(c) Where insufficient space exists on the lot or parcel
for compliance with the size requirements of the off-street loading
provisions of this chapter, the size of the existing loading docks
shall be brought into compliance at the time of any changes in use,
occupancy, expansion, structural alteration of the building or
within five (5) years of the effective date of this chapter,
whichever shall occur first.
SECTION 7: Intent. It is the declared finding of the City
Council that these amendments do not constitute a change in the

validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; it being the

pass this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause
or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that one or more of the
sections, subsections, clauses, sentences or phrases thereof may be
declared void or unconstitutional.
