STAFF REPORT
B. H. INVESTMENTS, LLC.
2425 30th STREET
VARIANCE APPLICATION
(September 8, 1998)
B. H. Investments, LLC. has requested a variance from the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Section 26.4.2-8, Development
Standards for the property located at 2425 30th Street in the
City of Vernon.
The property had 10 non -conforming truck loading spaces.
The two loading docks on the north west section of the building
have been permanently blocked. On the west end of the property
one truck loading dock has been permanently blocked. On the
southern section of the building there are three permanently
blocked loading doors. There are four open truck loading spaces
remaining on the building.
Three of these four spaces are legally non -conforming, dock
high spaces, located on the north east section of the building.
They measure 65 feet in length and 10 feet in width, and have
approximately 23 feet of maneuvering area. The only other open
loading door is located on the south east end of the property and
fronts 30th Street. The space is recessed approximately 50 feet
from the property line and measures 12 feet in width. Currently
it is being used for storage and not as an active truck loading
space. However, to remain open it requires a variance from
dimensional requirements stated in section 26.4.2-8(c).
The previous occupants, U.S. Building and Development
occupied 200 square feet of the building for office use in 1994.
A second occupant, Cafe Society, Inc. occupied 73,000 square feet
of the building for office and distribution uses in 1993. The
building has never been issued a variance in the past.
The current occupant, Premiere Textiles (previously known as
Millinneer Fibers, Inc.) was issued a temporary certificate of
occupancy on February 17, 1998 to operate a yarn manufacturing
company at 2425 30th Street, pending the approval of this
variance. Premiere Textiles currently occupies the entire 76,163
square foot industrial building. The owners of the property, B.
H. Investments, LLC., are requesting a variance from Section
26.4.2-8, Development Standards, pursuant to section 26.4.E-4(d)
of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Currently, Premiere
Textiles is only loading their trucks from the three truck
loading spaces in the north east section of the building. The
recessed truck loading space on the south east section of the
building is currently being used for storage. However, the
occupant is proposing to utilize the loading space in the future
as needed.
The proposed site is surrounded by industrial uses
compatible with the proposed use. No potentially significant
impacts are expected to result from the project. The project is
categorically exempt under Section 15301 of the California
Environmental Quality Act because it is an existing facility with
no expansion of use. A Notice of Exemption will be prepared and
filed with the County Clerk.
The facility complies with section 26.4.2-7(b) of the
-2-
i
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance requiring four truck loading
spaces for buildings with a gross floor area between 50,001 and
100,000 square feet. The remaining truck loading doors have been
permanently blocked and are not permitted to be utilized in the
future.
Staff proposes the following findings:
a) As previously mentioned the building has one non-
conforming truck loading space. Recessing the non -conforming
truck loading space to meet dimensional requirements would cause
a significant financial hardship to the applicant.
b) This variance will not adversely affect the interest of
the public or the interests of other residents and property
owners within the vicinity of the premises because the applicant
has agreed to use shorter trucks at the recessed truck loading
space fronting 30th Street to ensure that vehicles will not
extend into the street right-of-way while in the loading space.
c) With the approval of this variance the facility meets the
minimum number of truck loading spaces as required by section
26.4.2-7(b) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The recessed
truck loading space on the south east section of the building
will require a variance to comply with minimum dimensional
requirements set forth in section 26.4.2-8(c).
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) The number of truck loading spaces on the property shall
-3-
4
not be reduced.
b) The usage of all non -conforming truck loading space
shall be limited so that no truck parked at or using the loading
space shall extend into the existing street right-of-way as shown
on the Master Plan of Streets, dated June 16, 1992.
c) All existing and future tenants shall be notified of
these restrictions and a condition stating this shall be placed
in all future leases.
d) This variance shall automatically expire at the time of
any expansion or structural alteration of the building, or on
August 19, 2009, whichever occurs first. At which time the use
of the parking, access or loading area(s) allowed by this
variance shall be discontinued unless brought into compliance
with all applicable standards for parking, access and loading
areas set forth in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. It is the
intent of the City Council that said parking, access or loading
area(s) be treated in the same manner as a legal nonconforming
use subject to section 26.4.E-4(b).
