No/@ 1) Southland Box Company is housed in a building originally built for them in 1941. The loading bays are recessed into the building and easily accommodate the 40 I vans used by the company. The applicants vehicles were bought so they would fit the bays. other properties do not necessarily have fleets that are sized to their bays, and have not been in business at their locations for such a length of time. 2) The applicants structures met code at the time of construction. It is adequate for the fleet of vehicles used by the company. Deeper bays are unnecessary. other business in the area enjoy the we of their structures, which either happened to be built to specifications that met current code or have been granted variances as their vehicles are not impacting circulation. Lengthening the existing bays would require major work to the structure, as well as forcing rearrangement of heavy machinery. This would be prohibitively disruptive and costly to this business. 3) The applicant will not interfere with travel of vehicles and pedestrians in the pUblic right of way, as the vehicles used by the applicant do not extend beyond the property line. Therefore no special condition will exist. 4) As the variance requested will not impact circulation the city streets, no special privilege is granted. The intent and spirit of the code was to prevent impacts to travel caused by the typical 65' semi trailer, which are not used by the Southland Box. 5) The existing use of the property is in conformance with the general plan.

MFR: reg ENGINEER'S REPORT SOUTHLAND BOX COMPANY 4955 HAYWOOD AVENUE VARIANCE APPLICATION DECEMBER 15, 1994 Southland Box Company Inc. has requested a variance from the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Section 26.4.2-8, Development Standards, for the property located at 4955 Maywood Avenue in the City of Vernon. The building that it owns was constructed with thirteen non-conforming truck loading spaces measuring 10.0 feet in width with ten being 51.1 feet in length, one being 50.0 feet in length, one being 52.5 feet in length and one being 40.8 feet in length. It has stated that it will construct two new conforming spaces at the north end of the building extending into the parking lot and will relocate the driveway to said parking lot in order to accommodate on-site maneuvering. It has also stated that only vehicles of smaller lengths will be used at all of the no~-conforming truck loading spaces. The building is used for the manufacturing of paper products and is approximately 220,000 square feet in size. Section 26.4.2-7 (b) requires five truck loading spaces for buildings with a gross floor area of between 100,000 and 200,000 square feet in size and one truck loading space for each additional 100,000 square feet or fraction thereof for a total of 6 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 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. Southland Box Company has indicated that requiring the thirteen non-conforming truck loading spaces to be 65 feet long by 10 feet wide would be a hardship. The operation is in conformance with the Comprehensive zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that the variance be granted with the following conditions: (a) Southland Box Company shall by June 20, 1995, as directed by the City of Vernon; (i) construct two new conforming truck loading spaces extending from the north end of the building into the parking lot; (ii) remove said driveway and relocate it such that the south end of the driveway shall be 65.0 feet north of the north end of the building and it shall be a minimum of 50.0 feet in width; (iii) construct new curb, gutter, and sidewalk to replace removed driveway; (iv) obtain all necessary permits from the City of Vernon prior to any construction; (b) if Southland Box Company has not completed the construction described in above condition (a) within 30 days hereof, Southland Box Company shall deliver a $10,000 performance bond to the city of Vernon to be refunded upon compliance with above condition (a); (c) if compliance with above condition (a) has not been attained then the city of Vernon will be authorized to forfeit said bond and utilize the proceeds to construct curb, gutter, sidewalk and a suitable barrier to eliminate the usage of all the non-conforming loading docks; (d) the usage of the truck loading spaces shall be limited so that no truck parked at the loading docks shall extend into the existing street right-of-way; and (e) all existing and future tenants shall be notified of this restriction and a condition stating this shall be placed in all future leases. ~/ Mf) December 1, 1994 ~.
