(SEAL) BRUCE V. MALKENHORST, City Clerk -8- SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS f STAFF REPORT INTERNATIONAL TRADING ADVANTAGE, INC. 4635 FRUITLAND AVENUE VARIANCE APPLICATION FEBRUARY 5, 2004 The owner of the property, located at 4635 Fruitland Avenue in the City of Vernon, International Trading Advantage, Inc., has requested a variance from Section 26.4.2-8(c) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Development Standards. BACKGROUND International Trading Advantage, Inc. owns the property identified by the address 4635 Fruitland Avenue located in the M- Zone, General Industrial. The building that it occupies was constructed with one non -conforming truck loading space measuring 10.0 feet in width and 33.5 feet in length. It has stated that only vehicles of smaller lengths will be used at the non- conforming truck -loading space. The building is used for distribution, warehousing and is approximately 7,500 square feet in size. Austin Family Trust previously occupied the building located at 4635 Fruitland Avenue. As occupants, Austin Family Trust had obtained a variance for this property on May 16, 1995. The variance was granted with the condition that the usage of the non -conforming loading space be limited so that no truck parked at the loading dock shall extend into the right-of-way as shown on the Master Plan of Streets, dated June 16, 1992. -1- When the previous occupant, Austin Family Trust vacated the facility, the variance expired. Therefore, a new variance is required from said Section 26.4.2-8(c) in order to occupy the building. International Trading Advantage, Inc. 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 space for the use of smaller trucks that will not extend in the street right-of-way. International Trading Advantage, Inc. has stated that it will advise all future tenants on any 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. Although Austin Family Trust was granted a variance in 1995, a new variance is required upon a change in occupancy or ownership. As previously mentioned the applicant's building was built with one non -conforming truck -loading space. In order for the building to conform with the current Comprehensive Zoning -2- Ordinance, a significant portion of the building would need to be demolished. This building has been used for manufacturing, warehousing and distributing 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 space in order to ensure that vehicles will not extend into the street right-of-way while parked in the loading space. As long as the applicant complies with this condition, 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. A variance had been granted to Austin Family Trust in 1995. International Trading Advantage, Inc. seeks a new variance to continue the use. -3- 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.E-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. As previously mentioned the applicant's building was built with one (1) 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. -4- Since the site was previously granted a variance, has not been vacant for a continuous period of more than one year, and is not undertaking any structural alterations 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 specifically addressed by a grant of a variance. The building has one (1) non -conforming truck loading space measuring 10.0 feet in width and 33.5 feet in length. The usage of this non -conforming truck loading space shall be limited and the occupant will be required to use shorter trucks in the non- conforming space to avoid protruding into the public right-of-way as defined by the Master Plan of Streets dated June 16, 1992. CEQA REVIEW The proposed site is surrounded by residential and industrial uses compatible with the proposed use. This building has been used for manufacturing, warehousing and distributing 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. 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 -5- 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 one (1) non- conforming truck loading space measuring approximately 10.0 feet in width and 33.5 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 manufacturing, warehousing and distributing 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 space to ensure that vehicles will not extend into the street right-of-way while in the loading space. As long as the applicant complies with this condition, the variance will be 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 current codes, rules, and regulations and subject to permit fees -6- as adopted by the City of Vernon not otherwise addressed by this grant of a variance. b. The applicant shall maintain the yard clean, free of debris, and prevent the off -site migration of debris. C. The facility shall be operated in a manner that will prevent unsanitary conditions, odors or other nuisances. d. International Trading Advantage, Inc. shall repair any broken, cracked or 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 26.4.6- 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 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 -7- to Section 26.4.E-4(b). g. All parking and loading areas necessary for International Trading Advantage, 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. h. The project site shall be maintained substantially in compliance with the site plan submitted, as part of this variance application. i. The usage of the non -conforming truck loading space shall be limited so that no truck parked at or using the loading dock shall extend into the street right-of-way as shown on the Master Plan of Streets, dated June 16, 1992. j.

A new variance will be required upon change in use, occupancy, or ownership of all or a portion of the site. k. All existing and future tenants shall be notified of these restrictions and a condition stating this shall be placed in all future leases. -s- 1. The facility shall be operated in a manner, which will not impede traffic on Fruitland Avenue. M. Signs shall be posted in front of the nonconforming truck loading space stating the restrictions on the length of the trucks accessing the subject loading dock. n. 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, International Trading Advantage, Inc. to comply with the automobile parking requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. -9- SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS DE16113#777A 1564 1101 AMONT 500.00 Vernon, Department of Community Services 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, CA 90058 (323) 583-8811 VARIANCE APPLICATION Application is hereby made to the City of Vernon, petitioning for a variance for the following described property: Legal description (give exact legal description):�c �c CA - ,if —1-10 r o &-, t? ,(;:--7, u 9 -rt c 1, 'L.
