(hereinafter referred to as "Vernon Management") owns a parcel of property located at 2615 Santa Fe Avenue in the City of Vernon (hereinafter referred to as "the Property"). Dynamic Builders, Inc., on behalf of Vernon Management submitted an application to the City seeking a variance from the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Section 26.4.2-8 (c), Development Standards. The Property is approximately 1.38 acres and is an irregular shape being approximately 665 feet deep by 100 feet wide. The Property is located in the CM Zone. There are only about three other parcels in the City that have the same dimensions as the Property. Presently, the Property is unproductive property in that an partially occupied structure is situated on it. This structure was damaged in a fire. Vernon Management is proposing to demolish the existing structure and construct a new 35,318 square foot building on the Property. The site plan submitted by Vernon Management shows not only the long and narrow irregular shape of the Property but also the parking areas, buildings and loading areas to be constructed. The parcel is rectangular in shape at the front and tapers off at the back to a point, almost forming a triangle. A parking area will be at the front of the Property, followed by four warehouse units, and operating equipment will be located in the triangular section of the Property. The proposed development will include two loading docks, each measuring 48 feet in width, with eight 40 foot long truck loading and parking spaces and a 40 foot wide maneuvering area. Vernon Management has indicated that due to the odd shape of the lot that it would be unable to develop the subject parcel with an industrial building as it is zoned and that the requirements of Section 26.4.2-8 (c) creates a hardship on the usefulness of the parcel. Vernon Management proposes to acquire a portion of a vacant railroad right-of-way adjoining the Property. The additional 17 foot wide strip will allow additional room for maneuvering. A plot plan of the proposed development is shown on Exhibit "A", a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. According to Section 26.4.E-4(b) of the Zoning Ordinance, where insufficient space exists on a lot or parcel for compliance with the off-street parking and access requirements for this chapter, compliance shall occur at the time of expansion or structural alteration of the building or buildings or by August 19, 2009, whichever occurs first. Zoning Ordinance Section 26.4.2-8 (c) specifies that all truck loading and parking spaces shall be a minimum of 65 feet in length and Section 26.4.2-8 (e) requires a 40 foot unobstructed maneuvering area in front of all loading spaces. However Section 26.4.2-9, Optional Exceptions to Development Standards For Truck Parking and -2- Loading, of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance allows a parcel containing a building no larger than 12,000 square feet in size and utilized for warehouse or industrial use to be constructed with 40 foot long truck loading and parking spaces. This Section requires that a covenant be recorded advising all future owners of the truck length limitations and requires a sign be posted. Vernon Management would not be able to fully develop and improve the Property according to its site plan if it were to comply with the Zoning Ordinances off-street parking, loading and maneuvering requirements. Pursuant to Section 26,4.E-4(d), the City Council may relieve an occupant of all or part of the provisions of the off-street parking, access and loading requirements of the Zoning Ordinance upon making certain requisite findings. Those finding are: (1) that the strict application of the off-street parking, access and loading requirements of this Ordinance creates an unreasonable hardship; (2) the existing use. does and will not adversely affect the surrounding are; and (3) the use does not require the number of spaces and/or area specified by this Ordinance. Given the irregular shape of the property, the strict application of the access and loading requirements of Section 26.4 of the Zoning Ordinance would prevent Vernon Management from developing this parcel as a warehouse, thus creating an unreasonable hardship. In addition, the proposed use will not -3- adversely affect the surrounding area because the site has historically been used as a machine sales and storage facility. Furthermore, the proposed use has the requisite number of parking and loading spaces for a 35,318 square foot building. The project is categorically exempt under Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act because it is an in - fill project. A Notice of Exemption will be prepared. The proposed use is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Due to the unique shape of the lot, it is recommended that the variance be granted subject to the following conditions: (a) The required number of automobile parking and truck loading and parking spaces must be provided. The minimum length of truck loading or parking space provided shall be 40 feet in length and 10 feet in width. The maximum size truck that may access the site shall be 40 feet in length, including the tractor and trailer. (b) All trucks shall enter and exit the site in front forward manner. (c) The property owner shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $500 for every truck that enters the site that violates the size requirement. (d) A sign with a minimum 3" type shall be posted adjacent to Santa Fe Avenue on both sides of the driveway entrance that states "Maximum Length vehicles allowed in this site is 40 feet in length. All violations are subject to a fine not to exceed $500". (e) A covenant shall be recorded prior to construction advising all future property owners that all trucks entering the site are limited to a maximum of 40 feet in length and that any violation of this requirement is subject to a maximum $500 fine. (f) The owner of the property shall provide and maintain, for the City of Vernon, utility easements located on the property in a form and manner subject to approval of the Director of Community Services and Water. (g) This variance shall only be valid while Vernon Management owns the property. A new variance will be required upon the change of ownership or use of the Property. (h) All existing and future tenants shall be notified of these restrictions and a condition stating this shall be placed in all future leases. (i) The project shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the site plan submitted as part of the variance application. No changes shall be made in the site development, except with the prior approval of the Director of Community Services. -5 May 16, 2001 TO: Bruce V.
