The pre-existing building located at 2720 Soto Street was originally constructed with six (6) truck loading spaces measuring a total of 77 feet in length. Due to space constraints within the existing lot based on its size and shape and position of the existing 2720 Soto Street building, the parking and maneuvering requirements pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance cannot be fully provided without a significant portion of the interior of this building being demolished. Additionally, the lot will contain two buildings, one of 1which has ten conforming loading spaces. The ten conforming loading spaces are adequate to serve all trucks that exceed 33 feet in length and are necessary for the intended uses. The owner has stated that it plans to only use 33 foot trucks at these non -conforming loading docks and would use the 10 conforming docks at the newly constructed 2600 Soto Street building for their larger trucks. The applicant has also indicated that they have no plans for expansion or alteration of the existing building configuration at this time. b) The strict or literal interpretation of the applicable site planning standard would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The strict application of the access requirements of Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would, create a hardship on 2720 Soto, - 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 LLC, by requiring them to demolish a portion of their already existing warehousing facility to provide unneeded unobstructed truck maneuvering space. Such hardship would be inconsistent with Section 26.4.6-4 of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which allows the City Council to relieve an applicant of these parking and maneuvering requirements. c) The granting of this variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same zone with similar constraints. As previously noted, due to space constraints, the parking and maneuvering requirements pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance cannot be fully provided without a significant portion of the interior of the 2720 Soto Street building being demolished. Although the applicant would obtain a variance from these requirements, the variance would be conditioned on the applicant using 33 foot trucks at the non -conforming loading docks, and conditioned on the applicant making use of the 10 conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street for any trucks larger than 33 feet. Thus, the grant of the variance would be consistent with limitations on other properties, and would not constitute a special privilege, as the applicant would be required to have access to conforming loading docks that meet the applicable standards of the City's Code. d) The grant of the variance would be consistent with the General Plan and other applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The City's General Plan specifies that adequate maneuvering be provided to ensure that trucks do not block access to properties ,and roadways and cause delays. The grant of the variance would be consistent with the General Plan as the grant is conditioned on only 33 foot trucks being allowed to use and access the non- - 5 - 1 conforming loading docks, and for trucks larger in size, to make use of 2 the conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street, thereby ensuring that 3 trucks will not block access to properties or the roadway. Further, 4 the grant of the variance is consistent with the Comprehensive.Zoning 5 Ordinance as the conditions will ensure adequate loading and 6 maneuvering capacities for all types of trucks entering the property. 7 e) The grant of the variance would not be materially 8 detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to the 9 interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of 10 the Lot in question. The grant of the variance would be conditioned on 11 only 33 foot trucks being allowed to use and access the non -conforming 12 loading docks, and for trucks larger in size to make use of the 13 conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street, thereby ensuring that 14 trucks will not block access to properties or the roadway. Thus, the 15 applicant's loading and maneuvering needs will be met thereby ensuring 16 that the roadways remain clear and unobstructed by trucks. 17 f) The grant of the variance places suitable conditions on 18 the Lot to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that 19 are not otherwise allowed in the Zone. As previously stated, the grant 20 of the variance is conditioned on only 33 foot trucks being allowed to 21 use and access the non -conforming loading docks, and for trucks larger 22 in size to make use of the conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto 23 Street. This will ensure that the loading and maneuvering needs of the 24 applicant will be met, and that the applicant's trucks will not block 25 access to neighboring properties. Further, no use is allowed with the 26 grant of this variance, other than the uses already allowed. 27 SECTION 4: A variance from Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 28 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, is hereby granted to 2720 Soto, LLC for 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 the property located at 2720 Soto Street, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5 below.

The facility shall be operated in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Services & Water that will not impede traffic on Soto Street. All vehicles shall enter and exit the site in a front forward imanner. c) The building and parking area shall be maintained substantially in compliance with the site plan as -submitted as part of this variance application. d) All trucks using the non -conforming loading docks at 2720 Soto Street shall be limited to a maximum of 33 feet in length. 2720 Soto, LLC shall post a sign at the parking lot entrance that states in a minimum 2" type, "The Maximum Length of truck allowed on this site is 33 feet in length.

The applicant shall be subject to a fine, as established by the City from time to time, but at a minimum of $500.00, for any truck in excess of 33 feet accessing the non -conforming loading docks. f) A covenant shall be recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorders' offices advising all future property owners that all trucks accessing the loading docks at 2720 Soto Street are limited to a maximum of 33 feet in length, that any violation of this requirement is subject to a minimum $500.00 fine, and that signs regarding the maximum length of the trucks permitted on the property are to be posted. g) Noncompliance with any condition shall constitute sufficient grounds for the City Council of the City of Vernon to void this variance and require the owner of the property to comply with the loading requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.

BACKGROUND The properties identified by the address 2720 Soto Street (Existing Building) and 2600 Soto Street (The New Building) are located in the I -Zone, Industrial. JC Sales, a general merchandise wholesale distributor, currently occupies the 56,739 square foot building located at 2720 Soto Street. The property at 2600 Soto Street was previously a parking lot that was being leased to. United Parcel Services (UPS) for a trucking terminal. In 2007, the property owner, 2720 Soto, LLC, obtained permits to construct a new office/warehouse facility at 2600 Soto Street, the site of the previous parking lot. This new building is approximately 55,054 square feet in size, and was constructed to meet the development and site planning standards of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, which was applicable when the applicant received approvals in 2007. As part of the new development the applicant was required by Section 26.4.6-4 of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, to bring the building at 2720 Soto Street into conformity with the parking and loading requirements, which at the time permits were obtained, required that each truck loading space provide a minimumof 10' x 65' foot stalls with an unobstructed maneuvering space of 40 feet, totaling 105 feet in length. 2720 Soto Street was originally constructed with 6 non -conforming loading stalls providing the required 10 x 65 foot stalls, but only including an unobstructed maneuvering space of 12 feet, for a total of 77 feet in length. Due to space constraints within the existing facility and the fact that only 33 foot trucks will be used at the 2720 Soto Street building, the owner applicant is seeking a variance from the requirements of Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance requiring an unobstructed maneuvering space of 40 feet. The applicant is seeking this variance with the understanding that all trucks entering the site shall be limited to a maximum of 33 feet in length at the non -conforming truck loading spaces. REASON FOR VARIANCE As previously mentioned, 2720 Soto, LLC owns and occupies an existing building located at 2720 Soto Street; the building was built with six non -conforming truck -loading spaces. In order for the existing building to conform to the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, a significant portion of the interior of the building would need to be demolished to allow adequate maneuvering area to meet the 2007 Code requirements. However, a sufficient number of loading spaces will be provided at the adjoining building (2600 Soto Street) for the tenant use. The owner has stated that it plans to use 33 foot trucks at the non -conforming loading docks and use the 10 conforming docks at the 2600 Soto Street building for its larger trucks. The applicant indicated that they have no plans for expansion or alteration of the existing building configuration at this time. Therefore, the strict application of the loading requirements of the ordinance at this time would cause an unreasonable hardship to the applicant. VARIANCE METHODOLOGY The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, which specifies that easy access shall be provided to all loading and parking facilities and a minimum 40 feet of unobstructed space shall be maintained in front of all required truck parking and loading spaces. All vehicles are required to enter and leave the facility in a front forward fashion without backing or maneuvering on the public right-of-way. Since the building permit for 2600 Soto Street was issued on December 11, 2007, the building was developed in accordance with the 2007 Zoning Ordinance in effect at that time. 2720 Soto, LLC will be providing 10 conforming truck loading spaces at the 2600 Soto Street building to accommodate any larger trucks. There does not appear to be sufficient cause to require the non -conforming truck loading spaces located at 2720 Soto Street to be brought into compliance at this time, because the applicant plans to use 33 foot trucks at their existing non -conforming truck loading docks. As previously stated, in order for the existing building to conform with the loading requirements, a significant portion of the interior of the building would need to be demolished. Thus, the strict Ira application of the loading requirements of the ordinance at this time would cause an unreasonable hardship to the applicant. Additionally, a condition will be imposed requiring the applicant to use only 33 foot trucks at the non -conforming loading does at 2720 Soto Street. 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. CEQA The project site is 4.45 acres in size and is surrounded by industrial and warehousing uses compatible with the proposed use. The project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guideline 15305, Class 5, as the project is a grant of a variance from loading and maneuvering requirements, which is a minor alteration in a land use limitation. The land on which the 2720 Soto Street building is located contains a slope of less than 20%, and the grant of the variance will not result in any changes in land use or density. This variance is akin to a set back variance which is cited as an example of the type of project that qualifies for a Class 5 categorical exemption, as a set back variance does not involve increased density or changes in land use. Thus, the project is categorically exempt under CEQA. A notice of exemption will be prepared and filed with the County Clerk. STAFF FINDING AND CONDITIONS Staff finds the following to be true: a) There are special circumstances or conditions applicable to the Lot, or the intended use of the lot, including shape and size that do not apply generally to other properties. The pre-existing building located at 2720 Soto Street was originally constructed with six (6) truck loading spaces measuring a total of 77 feet in length. Due to space constraints within the existing lot based on its size and shape and position of the existing 2720 Soto Street building, the parking and maneuvering requirements pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance cannot be fully provided without a significant portion of the interior of this building being demolished. Additionally, the lot will contain two buildings, one of which has ten conforming loading spaces. The ten conforming loading spaces are adequate to serve all trucks that exceed 33 feet in length and are necessary for the intended uses. The owner has stated that it plans to only use 33 foot trucks at these non -conforming loading docks and would use the 10 conforming docks at the newly constructed 2600 Soto Street building for their larger trucks. The applicant has also indicated that they have no plans for expansion or alteration of the existing building configuration at this time. -3- b) The strict or literal interpretation of the applicable site planning standard would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The strict application of the access requirements of Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would create a hardship on 2720 Soto, LLC, by requiring them to demolish a portion of their already existing warehousing facility to provide unneeded unobstructed truck maneuvering space. Such hardship would be inconsistent with Section 26.4.6-4 of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which allows the City Council to relieve an applicant of these parking and maneuvering requirements. c) The granting of this variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same zone with similar constraints. As previously noted, due to space constraints, the parking and maneuvering requirements pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2001 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance cannot be fully provided without a significant portion of the interior of the 2720 Soto Street building being demolished. Although the applicant would obtain a variance from these requirements, the variance would be conditioned on the applicant using 33 foot trucks at the non -conforming loading docks, and conditioned on the applicant making use of the 10 conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street for any trucks larger than 33 feet. Thus, the grant of the variance would be consistent with limitations on other properties, and would not constitute a special privilege, as the applicant would be required to have access to conforming loading docks that meet the applicable standards of the City's Code. d) The grant of the variance would be consistent with the General Plan and other applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The City's General Plan specifies that adequate maneuvering be provided to ensure that trucks do not block access to properties and roadways and cause delays. The grant of the variance would be consistent with the General Plan as the grant is conditioned on only 33 foot trucks being allowed to use and access the non -conforming loading docks, and for trucks larger in size, to make use of the conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street, thereby ensuring that trucks will not block access to properties or the roadway. Further, the grant of the variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance as the conditions will ensure adequate loading and maneuvering capacities for all types of trucks entering the property. e) The grant of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the Lot in question. The grant of the variance would be conditioned on only 33 foot trucks being allowed to use and access the non -conforming loading docks, and for trucks larger in size to make use of the conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street, thereby ensuring that trucks will not block access to properties or the roadway. Thus, the applicant's loading and maneuvering needs will be met thereby ensuring that the roadways remain clear and unobstructed by trucks. -4- f) The grant of the variance places suitable conditions on the Lot to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that are not otherwise allowed in the Zone. As previously stated, the grant of the variance is conditioned on only 33 foot trucks being allowed to use and access the non -conforming loading docks, and for trucks larger in size to make use of the conforming loading docks at 2600 Soto Street. This will ensure that the loading and maneuvering needs of the applicant will be met, and that the applicant's trucks will not block access to neighboring properties. Further, no use is allowed with the grant of this variance, other than the uses already allowed. 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 the grant of a variance. b. All parking and loading areas necessary for 2720 Soto, LLC operations shall be striped in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Services & Water and shall be paved with a hard durable surface material and shall be drained in a manner acceptable to the Director, and kept free of dust, mud, trash and weeds. Where parking or maneuvering areas adjoin the public street, a barrier wall, wrought iron fence or landscaping shall be maintained to meet City standards. The facility shall be operated in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Services & Water that will not impede traffic on Soto Street. All vehicles shall enter and exit the site in a front forward manner. C. The building and parking area shall be maintained substantially in compliance with the site plan as submitted as part of this variance application. d. All trucks using the non -conforming loading docks at 2720 Soto Street shall be limited to a maximum of 33 feet in length. 2720 Soto, LLC shall post a sign at the parking lot entrance that states in a minimum 2" type, The Maximum Length of truck allowed on this site is 33 feet in length. Any violation is subject to a minimum $500.00 fine". e. The applicant shall ensure that all trucks accessing the non -conforming loading docks are limited to a maximum of 33 feet. The applicant shall be subject to a fine, as established by the City from time to time, but at a minimum of $500.00, for any truck in excess of 33 feet accessing the non -conforming loading docks. f. A covenant shall be recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorders' offices advising all future property owners that all trucks accessing the loading docks at 2720 Soto Street are limited to a maximum of 33 feet in length, that any violation of this requirement is subject to a minimum $500.00 fine, and that signs regarding the maximum length of the trucks permitted on the property are to be posted. -5- g. Noncompliance with any condition shall constitute sufficient grounds for the City Council of the City of Vernon to void this variance and require the owner of the property to comply with the loading requirements of the .Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. -6- COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT DATE: August 4, 2009 TO: Donal O'Callaghan, City Administrator FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson, rector, of Community Services & Water RE: Variance Application - 2720 Soto, LLC located at 2720 Soto Street 2720 Soto, LLC has requested a variance from Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Development Standards (Access) for the property located at 2720 Soto Street in the City of Vernon.

Present use of property: Warehouse and Distribution Present Zoning: I -Zone Proposed use of property: Warehouse and Distribution How long has owner(s) held title to this property? 9 years Are there any easements controlling the use of this property? ❑Yes ❑ No If yes, describe: See attached Title Report Expiration date: See Attached Title Report Are there any private or deed restrictions controlling the use of this property? ❑ Yes ❑ No If yes, describe: See Attached Title Report i Pagel of 3 Variance applied for (described in detail the nature and purpose of this request for which the premises are to be used) attach additional sheet(s) if necessary: Pursuant to Section 26.4.2-8(e) of the 2007 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance it specifies that easy access shall be provided to all loading and parking facilities and a minimum forty feet of unobstructed space shall be maintained in front of all required truck parking and loading spaces. All vehicles are required to enter and leave the facility in a front forward fashion without backing or maneuvering on the public right-of-way. The applicant owns and occupies the existing building located at 2720 Soto Street (existing building); the building was originally constructed with six non- conforming truck -loading spaces. In order for the existing building to conform with the current Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, a significant portion of the interior of the building would need to be demolished. However, a sufficient number of loading spaces will be provided at an adjoining building (2600 Soto Street — new building). The new building at 2600 Soto Street was constructed with sufficient parking and loading spaces which met the code requirements of the code when it was permitted/constructed. As part of the new development the applicant agreed that it would bring the building at 2720 Soto Street into conformity with the parking and loading requirements, which at the time when permits were obtained required that each truck loading space provide a minimum of 10' x 65' foot stalls with an unobstructed maneuvering space of 40' feet, totaling 105' feet in length. -Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from Section 26.4.2-8(e) be issued to it at this time for the continued use of the non -conforming truck loading spaces, with the that all trucks entering the site shall be limited to maximum 33' feet in length at the non -conforming truck loading spaces and use the conforming docks for their larger trucks NOTICE TO APPLICANT: In the variance procedure it shall be shown that the following five (5) conditions exist in reference to the property being considered. The applicant should answer the following statements. If you have difficulty finding reasonable answers to the statements contained in this application it may be an indication that your request has insufficient factors to justify approval. (Attach additional sheet(s), if necessary). 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 existing building at the 2720 Soto Street building was constructed with sufficient parking and loading spaces which met the code requirements of the code when it was originally constructed. At this time it would create a major financial hardship for the applicant to recess the entire loading area 28' inside the building The cost is estimated at $312,000. The property owner is willing to limit its trucks to 33' and use the 10 conforming docks at 2600 Soto Street for their larger trucks if the variance is ap rp oved 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: The neighboring buildings typically have loading docks depth less than 105' in length. The existing building at the 2720 Soto Street building was constructed with sufficient parking and loading spaces which met the code requirements of the code when it was originally constructed. The literal interpretation of the provisions would deprive applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by these neighboring properties in the same vicinity and zone. Page 2 of 3 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from m actions of the applicant: The existing building at the 2720 Soto Street building was constructed with sufficient Larking and loading spaces which met the code requirements of the code when it was originally constructed. The circumstances with the property and said building were not the actions of the applicant The applicant purchased the propefty in 2000 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-PITanting of this variance does in no way constitute any grant of special privilege to the subject property that is 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 the Comprehensive General Plan: The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the Cites General Plan in that the.existing non -conforming truck dock depth will not be disru tive to traffic and circulation in the area. There will be no street maneuvering required for trucks to use the non-conformin loading oading spaces. NOTE: Non -conforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings shall not be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.
