The facility suffered severe structural damage as a result of the most recent earthquake. Economically, it would not make sense to repair the facility. The building prior to the earthquake was a nonconforming building relative to today's Vernon codes. The loading faces Santa Fe Avenue and is less than 30' from the dock to the back of the sidewalk. In addition, the property in its existing site offers approximately 7 parking spaces, which is well below present codes. The property was previously used as a carpet warehouse. Being an industrial I commercial area, there is no plant life to speak of in the area and absolutely none on the subject site. The only known animals in the area would be birds. There are no cultural, historical or scenic aspects relative to the existing site. 34. The surrounding properties are all industrial in nature. There is no residential building in the area. Commercial activity is limited. There is one restaurant located substantially further south at 55th and Santa Fe. Generally speaking, the height of the surrounding properties is in the 15' to 20' range, The properties are built right to the property lines and are generally nonconforming relative to today's Vernon City codes.

As you are aware, this measure requires that proponents of projects subject to~ the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act help defray transactional costs assOciated with the protection and management of wildlife. The Dep~ent of Fish and . Game is charged with. the responsibility to protect .and ensure the .continued viability-of California's wildlife resourCes. The Legislature, in adopting this legislation, determined that it was appropriate for those persons who may consume wildlife through urbanization and development, pay a portion of the Department's costs to protect wildlife resources. Hunters and fishers have provided the primary funding for this . effort in the past. Because the public may. not be aware of these fees or may not understand th~ reason for them, I have enclosed a general informational letter which you may want to provide to your project proponents. If you have questions regarding which projects are subject to the fees, please contact the Department of Fish and Game, Environmental Services DiVision, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, at (916) 445-1383.

In accordance with Section 711.4 of the Fish and Game Code, effective January 1,f1991, persons or entities are required to pay an Environmental Filing Fee for projects subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that may have any adverse affect on wildlife resources. As defined in .Section"711.2(a) of the Fish and Game Code: n.. ..'wildlife' ~eans and'includes all wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat upon which the wildlife depends for. its continued Viability. .. .n.. The filing fees are'due and payable~at.the time a.Notice of Approval or Determination is filed with the county clerk. With the exception of a documentary handling fee., counties are required to remit 100 percent of these fees to the Department of Fish and Game (Department). The Legislature, in adopting environmental filing fees, intended to exten~.the current Department user-based funding system by allocating a portion of the costs of wildlife protection and management to those who may consume wildlife resources through urbanization and development. These fees are not intended to reimburse costs specifically identifiable to individual projects, but rather to offset a relative portion of the cumulative .effect of all projects. It is important to note, Section 711..4(c) of the Fish and Game Code and Section 21089 of the Public Resources Code, " clearly states: II.... no project shall be operative, vested, or.fina1 until the filing fees required pursuant to section 711.4 are paid." Fee exemptions are allowed for the following projects: 1.. All projects statutorily exempt from the provisions of CEQA. . 2. All projects",categorically exempt .by regulations of the Secretary for Resources from the.requirement to prepare an e~vironmental document. .. 3.

In addition to serving food at the restaurant they expect to make 25 deliveries daily. 1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is in conformance with present Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. 2. SITE The site is approximately 25,600 square feet in size. The existing building on the site will be demolished and a 3,300 square foot structure will be constructed. In addition a 1,000 square foot patio will be installed. It is proposed that 27 standard parking stalls and 34 compact parking stalls be provided. 3. ADVERSE AFFECT The site is surrounded by industrial and commercial uses and the proposed use is compatible therewith, and no adverse noise, odor, dust, smoke, light or glare, or risk of fire, infection or explosion is anticipated. 4. ACCESS The site has access to Santa Fe Avenue, 80 feet in width. The restaurant will be served by two driveways. It is anticipated that traffic on Santa Fe Avenue will not be upset by the restaurant's operation. Santa Fe Avenue has adequate capacity and pavement type for the proposed operation and the existing two way left turn pocket will be modified to allow southbound vehicles to make a legal left turn into the southern driveway. The left turn pocket will allow approximately four vehicles to cue without restricting traffic. 5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS They have estimated that 200 customers will be served at the restaurant daily, and anticipate 100 cars per day between the ours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm will enter the site. Additionally they will make 25 deliveries daily. Most customers will either be generated from existing drive-by vehicles or people who are currently traveling City streets to visit competing restaurants outside of the City. The average daily traffic on Santa Fe Avenue is approximately 28,000. It is therefore anticipated that any increase in traffic will be negligible. 6. USE The Zoning code requires that a conditional use permit be granted for any commercial use that will generate more than 20 vehicles per day per 1,000 square feet of floor area. 7.
