STAFF REPORT
ON GIBERT AYALA DBA: PREMIER BILLBOARD
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE AN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
BILLBOARD
AT 3278 SLAUSON AVENUE
March 29, 2007
Gilbert Ayala dba: Premier Billboard ("Premier Billboard") has applied for a
conditional use permit to construct and operate an outdoor advertising billboard. The
proposed project will entail the construction and operation of an outdoor advertising
billboard that will be located on the northwest corner of the property on an existing
retail/commercial site (The Arco am/pm station). The proposed billboard will be a
maximum of 35' feet in height, double faced l4'x 48' (672' sq. ft. in size on each side).
The billboard will be used exclusively to advertise local and national businesses. The
proposed billboard will be a stand alone business/operation with no need of occupancy,
only with the exception of occasional maintenance work on the billboard itself. The
proposed billboard will not change and/or alter any part of the existing daily operations,
employees, management, or traffic flow. The project site is located at 3278 Slauson
Avenue.
1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is in accordance with the General Plan.
Section 26.7.3 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, which states that the
construction, modification or replacement of outdoor advertising structures maybe
permitted in all zones of the City, subject to obtaining a conditional use permit and
complying with all other conditions imposed by this article. The site is located in the M-
9
Zone, General Industrial.
2. SITE As previously mentioned, the proposed project will entail the construction
and operation of an outdoor advertising billboard that will be located on the northwest
corner of the property, on an existing retail/commercial site. The proposed billboard will
be approximately 35' feet in height, double faced 14'x 48' (672' sq. ft. in size on each
side). The billboard will be used exclusively to advertise local and national businesses.
The site is currently being used as a gas station/mini market (The Arco am/pm station).
The proposed site of the billboard shall be paved with an impermeable surface. The
proposed billboard will not change and/or alter any part of the existing operation,
employees, management, or traffic flow. The proposed site will be supported by an eleven
stall surface parking lot. The proposed site is of adequate size, shape and topography for
the proposed operation. The proposed site is in conformance with the location
requirements contained in Section 26.7.4-4(d) of the City Code which requires a minimum
distance of 2,500-feet between outdoor advertising billboards.
In addition, the property owner has given approval for Premier Billboard to perform
the work and pursue the necessary permitting and conditional use permit procedures.
3. ADVERSE EFFECT The proposed project is in the M-Zone, the uses in the
surrounding and adjacent properties include retail, office, commercial, warehouse,
wholesale, and general industrial uses and are compatible with the proposed operation. No
adverse impacts from traffic, parking, noise, odor, dust, smoke, light or glare, or risk of fire,
infection or explosion are expected to occur to the adjacent or abutting properties. Pursuant
P
to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, this project is exempt from
CEQA, because it is an existing facility with no expansion of use.
4. ACCESS There are three driveways that currently access the existing site, all
three driveways are located along Slauson Avenue. Trucks and automobiles accessing the
site will continue to share the existing driveways along Slauson Avenue. Slauson Avenue
is 90 feet wide and is of adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated
from the proposed operation. Motorists using the surrounding street system will not
experience major changes in traffic due to the construction and operation of the proposed
billboard.
5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS Most of the vehicular traffic at the existing retail
facility will continue as before which includes employee and customer ingress/egress,
trucks that deliver/pick-up product and supplies. The proposed billboard will not add to the
existing vehicular traffic. Therefore, the proposed project will not cause a significant
traffic impact to the surrounding areas.
6.OPERATIONS As previously mentioned, the proposed project will entail the
construction and operation of an outdoor advertising billboard that will be located on the
northwest corner of the property located at 3278 Slauson Avenue, on an existing
retail/commercial site (also known as the Arco am/pm station). The proposed billboard
will be approximately 35' feet in height, double faced 14'x 48' (672' sq. ft. in size on
each side). The billboard will be used exclusively to advertise local and national
businesses. The site is currently being used as a gas station/mini market (Arco am/pm
U
station).
7. STATE OR FEDERAL CONDITIONS All Federal, State, and local
regulatory permits shall be obtained as required for the operation.
8. CONDITIONS It is recommended that the following conditions be set on the
permit. These conditions are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and
general welfare:

all the current codes, rules, and regulations including any required fees as adopted by the
City of Vernon not otherwise addressed by this grant of a conditional use permit.
