The applicant should answer the following statemen~s. If you have difficulty finding reasonable answers to the statements contained,in this application it may be an indication that your request has insufficient factors to justify approval. (Attach additional sheet(s) if necessary) (1) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not generally applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same Vicinity and zone: _Our building and land have truck loading spaces that are sufficient in length to enable us to load and unload without extending onto the street. In general, many buildings i~ our general vicinity and zone have shorter truck loading spaces which force the trucks to extend into the street to load and unload. (2) That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applic~nt of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone in which the property is located, under the terms of this Chapter. Our truck loading spaces are sufficient in length to allow us to use units of sufficient size to load and unload without extending into the street right-of~way. The literal interpretation of this provision would require hh e~p~nditure that would be financially prohibitive and result in us being deprived of the rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. Page 3 of 4 (3) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant: Our specma)l condi t ions do not result from act ions of the appl icant. We are aexe to gpsEate within our existing truck loading spaces without extending into the Atreet right nf-w~y (4) That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same vicinity and zone in which the property is located: The granting of [this variance vllll not confer on us any~pecial privilege tha~is denied by this chapter to other structures in the same vicinity and zone in which we operate. Despite the size of our existin9 truck loading space, we can load and unload without our units exLending beyond nllr prnpprty lin'PR. (5) That the granting of such variance will be in harmony and not adversely affect the Comprehensive General Plan: One of the primary goals of the Current zoning ordinance for truck loading spaces is to improve tra~ficcirculation in the City. As our trucks do not extend into the street and rarely onto the sidewalk, the granting of this variance will be dm harmony and not adversely affect the comprehensive general ,pl i'ln.

Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, CA 90058 Attention: Mr. Victor H. Vaits Interim Director Of Community Services RE: SOCO-LYNCH CORPORATION 4560 E. 50th Street, Vernon, CA 90058 Dear Mr. Vaits: Our tenant, SOCO-LYNCH CORPORATION, occupies approximately 80,000 square feet in three adj acent buildings and conducts business under the address 4560 E. 50th Street. As such, I consent to the inclusion of 4608 and 4584 E. 50th Street in the filing of the application made by the SOCO-LYNCH CORPORATION for 4560 E. 50th Street, to the City of Vernon, petitioning for a variance relating to the zoning ordinance which requires all truck loading docks to be recessed 65 feet from the street right-of-way. Very truly yours, 7~ Man;;;};o., Jeffrey A. Stern Inc. JAS:nsb cc: Anthony Gerace - Soco-Lynch Corp. 9300 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, Suite 316, California 90212 .

The Giese Family Trust ~g~/n ~~ Vir~ia M. Dick~y, trustee EXHIBIT - II APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE Section 26.4.2-8(C) of The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Vernon, stipulates that truck loading spaces shall be 10 feet wide by 65 feet in length. In addition, Section 26.4.6-4(C), as amended, states: "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." The truck loading space at the location referenced in this application extends 66 feet to the curb. However, the prescribed truck loading space of 65 feet extends into the pedestrian right-of-way. Our trucks do not extend into the street and rarely extend onto the pedestrian right-of-way. Our location at 50th Street is not our primary location. This location is primarily used for warehouse storage. Our staging, loading and shipping is primarily done from our location at 3270 E. Washington Blvd. Our stock transfers from our 50th Street location to our Washington Blvd. location are done after 5 p.m. The street on which we operate (50th Street) is an industrial street with minimal vehicular traffic and almost no pedestrian traffic. Therefore, even when we have an occasional truck extend into the pedestrian right-of-way we clearly do not adversely affect the surrounding area. The strict application of the truck loading requirements would create an unreasonable hardship on us in light of the fact that this is not our primary location and our truck activity and pedestrian activity are minimal. Furthermore, our use does not require the area specified by this ordinance. We are able to utilize units shorter than the existing truck loading spaces to conduct our business. In summary, we are petitioning for a variance because we believe that: (1) The existing use does not and will not adversely affect the surrounding area; (2) The strict application of the loading requirements of this zoning ordinance creates an unreasonable hardship; and, (3) Our use does not require the area specified by this zoning ordinance. .....- _.........~.........---~.,....

" .~ -.. )4~ S\~ ENGINEER'S REPORT SOCO-LYNCH CORPORATION 4560, 4584 AND 4608 50TH STREET VARIANCE APPLICATION AUGUST 11, 1994 Soco-Lynch Corporation has requested a variance from the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance section 26.4.2-8, Development Standards, for the property located at 4560, 4584 and 4608 50th street in the City of Vernon. The buildings that it occupies were constructed with two conforming truck loading spaces and twenty-six non-conforming truck loading spaces measuring 10.0 feet in width: eight being 50.7 feet in length and eighteen being 45.8 feet in length. Soco-Lynch Corporation has stated that only vehicles of smaller lengths will be used at the twenty-six non- conforming truck loading spaces. The buildings are used for the warehousing and distribution of chemicals and paint and are approximately 29,400 square feet, 25,500 square feet and 21,000 square feet totaling approximately 76,000 square feet in size. section 26.4.2-7 (b) requires two truck loading spaces for buildings with a gross floor area of between 8,001 and 25,000 square feet in size and three truck loading spaces for buildings with a gross floor area of between 25001 and 50,000 square feet. For these buildings, section 26.4.2-7 (b) requires a total of eight truck loading spaces. section 26.4.2-8 (c) of the comprehensive Zoning Ordinance specifies that each loading space shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide and 65 feet long and section .. 4; ~ ~ 26.4.6-4 (c) provides that a non-conforming building must comply with these standards within five years of April 18, 1989 unless a variance is granted. Soco-Lynch Corporation has indicated that requiring the non- conforming truck loading spaces to be 65 feet long by 10 feet wide would be a hardship. It has indicated that it has no plans for expansion or alteration of the building configuration. The operation is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that the variance be granted with the following condition: ~he usage of the non-conforming truck loading spaces shall be limited so that no truck parked at the loading docks shall extend into the street right-of-way as shown on the Master Plan of streets, dated June 16, 1992. ." ~ OWNERSHIP LIST WITHIN A 300' RADIUS OF .. 1 Walter Giese, Trs. 15071 Valley vista Blvd. Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 4 Dixon Harwin, Trs. 9300 wilshire Blvd. Room 316 Beverly Hills, CA 90212 7 Henry A.
