STAFF REPORT
IRISH GREEN, LLC.
3015 LEONIS BOULEVRAD
VARIANCE APPLICATION
APRIL 30, 2003
Nadell & Co., Inc. is applying for a variance, on behalf of
the property owner of 3015 Leonis Boulevard, Irish Green, LLC.
from Section 26.4.2-8(c) of the Comprehensive Zoning ordinance,
Development Standards.
BACKGROUND
Irish Green, LLC. owns the property identified by the
address 3015 Leonis Boulevard located in the M-Zone, General
Industrial, located in the City of Vernon. Nadell & Co, Inc. a
warehousing and distribution company currently occupies the
building. The building was constructed with three non -conforming
truck loading spaces measuring 18.7 feet in width and 48.0 feet
in length. It has stated that only vehicles of smaller lengths
will be used at the non -conforming truck -loading spaces. The
building is used for warehousing, distribution and is
approximately 31,371 square feet in size.
Irish Green, LLC. is requesting a variance from the
requirements of Section 26.4.2-8(c) be issued to it at this time
for the continued use of the non -conforming truck loading spaces
with the condition that the spaces be utilized by smaller trucks
that will not extend in the street right-of-way. Irish Green,
LLC. has stated that it will advise all future tenants on any
-1-
conditions placed on the variance. According to Section 26.4.E
4(d), the City Council may, under certain circumstances issue a
variance from the off-street parking, access and loading
requirements of this chapter.
REASON FOR VARIANCE
Section 26.4.2-8(c) of the current City of Vernon
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance specifies that each truck loading
space shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide and 65 feet long.
Section 26.4.E-4(c) provides that a non -conforming building must
comply with these standards within five (5) years of April 18,
1989 unless a variance is granted.
As previously mentioned the applicant's building was built
with three non -conforming truck -loading space. In order for the
building to conform with the current Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, a significant portion of the building would need to be
demolished.
This building has been used for warehousing and distribution
in the past and despite a change in occupancy, it continues to be
used for the same purpose. Consequently, the existing use does
not and will not adversely affect the surrounding area.
As previously mentioned, the applicant has agreed that only
vehicles of smaller lengths will be used at the shorter non-
conforming truck loading spaces to ensure that vehicles will not
extend into the street right-of-way while parked in the loading
spaces. As long as the applicant complies with this condition,
-2-
the variance will be consistent with the objectives of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
VARIANCE METHODOLOGY
The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 26.4.2-
8(c) of the current City of Vernon Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, which specifies that each truck loading space shall be
a minimum of 10 feet wide and 65 feet long. Section 26.4.E-4(c)
provides that a non -conforming building must comply with these
standards within five (5) years of April 18, 1989 unless a
variance is granted.
PARKING ANALYSIS
According to Section 26.4.E-4(c), where insufficient space
exists on the lot or parcel for compliance with the size of the
existing loading provisions of Chapter 26, 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. A variance from off-street parking,
access and loading requirements may be granted under Section
26.4 .6-4 (d) .
Pursuant to Section 26.4.6, the intent of Chapter 26 was to
permit non -conformities in buildings, structures, and uses which
existed at the time the ordinance was adopted to continue for a
reasonable length of time, but not to encourage their survival.
-3-
As previously mentioned the applicant's building was built
with three (3) non -conforming truck loading space. In order for
the building to conform with the current Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, a significant portion of the building would need to be
demolished. The applicant indicated that they have no plans for
expansion or alteration of the building configuration at this
time. Therefore, strict application of the off-street parking,
access and loading requirements of the ordinance at this time
would cause an unreasonable hardship to the applicant at this
time.
Since the site was previously used for warehousing and
distribution, it has not been vacant for a continuous period of
more than one year, and no structural alterations are proposed,
the City Council may grant a variance from the off street
parking, access and loading requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
However, should the City Council approve this variance the site
shall retain its legal non -conforming status and will be required
to comply with the size requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance not otherwise addressed by a grant of a variance.
The building has three (3) non -conforming truck loading
spaces measuring 18.7 feet in width and 48.0 feet in length. The
usage of these non -conforming truck loading spaces shall be
limited and the occupant will be required to use shorter trucks
in the non -conforming spaces to avoid protruding into the public
right-of-way as defined by the Master Plan of Streets dated June
-4-
16, 1992.
CEQA REVIEW
The proposed site is surrounded by industrial uses
compatible with the proposed use. No potentially significant
impacts are expected to result from noise, odor, dust, smoke,
light or glare 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 Clerks office.
STAFF FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS
Staff finds the following to be true:
a) The applicant's building was built with three (3) non-
conforming truck loading spaces measuring approximately 18.7 feet
in width and 48.0 feet in length. For the building to conform
with the current Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, a significant
portion of the building would need to be demolished.
b) This building has been used for warehousing and
distribution in the past and despite a change in occupancy, it
continues to be used for the same purpose.
c) The applicant has stated that only vehicles of smaller
lengths will be used at the shorter non -conforming truck loading
spaces to ensure that vehicles will not extend into the street
right-of-way while in the loading spaces. As long as the
applicant complies with this condition, the variance will be
-5-
consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance and the General Plan.
Therefore, it is recommended that the variance be granted
with the following conditions imposed on the permit to adequately
protect the public interests:
a. The facility shall be operated in accordance with all

building, or prior to August 19, 2009, the entire site shall be

and all truck loading requirements, pursuant to section 26.4.6-
4(b) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, unless a variance is
granted by the Vernon City Council.
f. 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
-6-
r
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)
g. Upon any change in use, occupancy, or ownership of all
or a portion of the site, the entire site shall be made to
conform to all truck and automobile parking requirements and all
truck loading requirements.
h. All parking and loading areas necessary for Nadell &
Co, Inc. operations shall be striped in an acceptable manner to
the Director of Community Services & Water and shall be paved
with a hard durable surface material and shall be adequately
drained, and kept free of dust, mud, trash and weeds. Where
parking or maneuvering areas adjoin the public street, a barrier
wall or landscaping shall be maintained to meet City standards.
Adequate on -site parking shall be maintained so that off-street
parking will not occur.
i. The project site shall be maintained substantially in
compliance with the site plan submitted, as part of this variance
application.
j. The usage of the non -conforming truck loading spaces
shall be limited so that no truck parked at or using the loading
-7-

Master Plan of Streets, dated June 16, 1992.
k. This variance shall only be valid while Irish Green,
LLC. remains the owner of the property. A new variance will be
required upon change of ownership.
1. All existing and future tenants shall be notified of
these restrictions and a condition stating this shall be placed
in all future leases.
M. The facility shall be operated in a manner, which will
not impede traffic on Leonis Boulevard.
n. Signs shall be posted in front of the nonconforming
truck loading spaces stating the restrictions on the length of
the trucks accessing the subject loading docks.
o. Noncompliance with the conditions shall constitute
sufficient grounds for the City Council of the City of Vernon to
void this variance and require the applicant, Irish Green, LLC.
to comply with the automobile parking requirements of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.

Gentlemen:
Irish Green, LLC. has requested a variance from the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Section 26.4.2-8(c), Development
Standards for the property located at 3015 Leonis Boulevard in the
City of Vernon. The variance is to allow the use of three (3) non-
conforming truck -loading spaces. The loading spaces, however, will

2. Request for variance application permit and information
supporting the application.
3. Notice of Public Hearing, copies of notification letters
to owners and tenants in the area and affidavits of
posting and mailing.
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA because it is an
existing facility as described in Section 15301. A Notice of
Exemption will be prepared and filed with the County Clerk.
Honorable City Council -2- May 14, 2003
It is recommended that the variance application permit be

displaced sidewalk, curbs or gutters adjoining the site.
e. Upon any expansion or structural alteration of the
building, or prior to August 19, 2009, the entire site shall be
made to conform to all truck and automobile parking requirements
and all truck loading requirements, pursuant to section 26.4.E-4(b)
of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, unless a variance is granted
by the Vernon City Council.
f. 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)
g. Upon any change in use, occupancy, or ownership of all or a
portion of the site, the entire site shall be made to conform to

loading spaces stating the restrictions on the length of the trucks
accessing the subject loading docks.

sufficient grounds for the City Council of the City of Vernon to
