STAFF REPORT
OFER KASHANIAN
4950 49TH STREET
VARIANCE APPLICATION
March 29, 2007
The owner of the property, located at 4950 49`h Street in the City of Vernon, Ofer
Kashanian, has requested a variance from Section 26.4.2-8(c) of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance, Development Standards.
BACKGROUND
Ofer Kashanian owns the property identified by the address 4950 49t' Street
located in the M-Zone, General Industrial, in the City of Vernon. The building located at
4950 49t' Street was constructed with one conforming truck loading space and two non-
conforming truck loading spaces measuring 12.0 feet in width and 34.0 feet in length. The
truck loading spaces front 49`h Street. Mr. Kashanian has stated that only vehicles of
smaller lengths will be used at the non -conforming truck loading spaces. The building is
used for office, garment cutting, warehousing and distribution and is approximately
20,600 square feet in size.
Ofer Kashanian is requesting a variance from the requirements of Section 26.4.2-
8(c) be issued to him 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. Ofer Kashanian has stated that he 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.
-1-
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 one conforming
loading space and two non -conforming truck loading spaces. The truck loading spaces
front 49'h Street. Since the spaces are directly facing 49`b Street, trucks must back off the
public right-of-way in order to access the spaces. 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 building has been used for office, manufacturing, warehousing and
distribution in the past and despite a change in occupancy and ownership, it continues to
be used for the same purposes.
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, 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
-2-
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 26.4.6-4(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.
As previously mentioned the applicant's building was built with one conforming
loading space and two non -conforming truck loading spaces. 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
would cause an unreasonable hardship to the applicant at this time.
Since the site was previously used for office, manufacturing, warehousing and
distribution, and it has not been vacant for a continuous period of more than one year, and
-3-
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 at 4950 49'h Street has two non -conforming truck loading spaces
measuring 12.0 feet in width and 34.0 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 November 17, 2004.
CEOA REVIEW
The proposed site is surrounded by industrial and warehousing 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 Clerk's office.
STAFF FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS
Staff finds the following to be true:
a) The applicant's building at 4950 49`" Street has two non -conforming truck
loading spaces measuring 12.0 feet in width and 34.0 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 office, manufacturing, warehousing and
distribution in the past and despite a change in occupancy and ownership, it continues to
be used for the same purposes.
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 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 as adopted by the City of Vernon not otherwise
addressed by this grant of a variance.
b. The facility shall be operated in a manner that will prevent unsanitary
conditions, odors or other nuisances.
C. 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
-5-
of the City Council that said parking, access or loading area(s) be treated in the same
manner as a legal non -conforming use subject to Section 26.4.6-4(b).
d. All parking and loading areas 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 no on street parking or staging will occur.
e. The project site shall be maintained substantially in compliance with the site
plan submitted, as part of this variance application.
f. The usage of the non -conforming truck loading spaces shall be limited so
that no trucks parked at or using the loading docks shall extend into the street right-of-
way as shown on the Master Plan of Streets, dated November 17, 2004.
g. All existing and future tenants shall be notified of these restrictions and a
condition stating this shall be placed in all future leases.
h. The facility shall be operated in a manner, which will not impede traffic on
49'' Street.
i. Signs shall be posted in front of the non -conforming truck loading spaces
stating the restrictions on the length of the trucks accessing the subject loading docks.
-6-
j. Noncompliance with any condition shall constitute sufficient grounds for
the City Council of the City of Vernon to void this variance and require the applicant,
Ofer Kashanian to comply with the truck parking and loading requirements of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.

4950 E 49 b ST
Vernon, CA 90058
DESCRIPTION:
Variance applied for (described in detail the nature and purpose of this request for which the
premises are to be used) attach additional sheets(s) if necessary:
Pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(c) of the City of Vernon Municipal Code requiring truck
parking/loading space be a minimum of 65'-0" in length, herein request is a variance for two
existing 34'-0"L truck parking/loading space for an existing industrial building to be used for
storage and warehouse.
VARIANCE FINDINGS:
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure,
or building involved and which are not generally applicable to other lands, structures, or
buildings in the same vicinity and zone:
The subject lot is a 1.054 acre rectangular shape lot with a width of 387.92' along 49 h
Street and a length of 120'. The existing building is 20,600 square feet. The existing
structure on the site takes up nearly 45% of the property with the remaining devoted to
parking and truck loading and parking east of the building. The two docks in question
faced 49t' St (Refer to plans) These existing non-conforminj trucks loading parking
space are located on the north side of the building facing 49 Street. (Please refer to site
plan). Due to the existing layout of the building location, the space does not conform to
current development standards. This circumstance does not generally apply to other
properties in the same vicinity and zone.
2. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other propertied in the same vicinity and zone in which
the property is located, under the terms of this chapter:
Due to the location of the existing building and the narrow width of the site, requiring the
truck/parking loading to be a minimum of 65'-0" would render inefficient use of interior
space of the building. Therefore, the applicant is substantially deprived the rights
enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity, but denied to the property in question.
3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant:
The building was constructed in accordance to development standards when it was
originally constructed. The circumstances on the site and building were not actions of the
applicant. The applicant purchased this property approximately one year ago.
4. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this chapter to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same vicinity
and zone in which the property is located:
Due to the extenuating existing physical circumstances on the site and building, the
granting of this variance does in no way constitute any grant of special privilege to
the subject property, but denied to other properties in the same vicinity and zone.
5. That the granting of such variance will be in harmony and not adversely affect
