Those documents are available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk located at 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, California 90058: SECTION 5: Consistent with Section 26.5.1-6 of the City Code, the City Council concurs with the recommendation of the Director of Community Services in setting the minimum parking and loading and maneuvering requirements for office uses as follows: a..3 automobile parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of office space. b. Up to 1/3 of the required automobile parking spaces,may be provided as tandem parking spaces if a valet is on site whenever any vehicle is parked in a tandem parking space and blocks access to or from another parking,space. c.

SECTION 6: Subject to the 'conditions set forth below, the City Council hereby approves issues the CUP for the Project based on 5 - 101013735 the following findings as required by Section 26.6.3-4 of the Vernon Zoning Code; a. The lot for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, and topography, including any required drainage and landscaping because (i).tho project will provide the correct number of parking spaces: on site; (ii)!the issuance of the variance to allow the required back -out distance behind the truck parking and loading spaces will not negativelyaffect maneuverability because all trucks visiting the site will be 20; or less; (iii) the conditions imposed will ensure that the site is :.developed appropriately for its size, 'shape and topography; '(iv) all components of a standard development project are included, such as a trash bin in an accessible location, and proper frontage and accessibility to nearby streets for the proposed use; and (v) the site ,will be.constructed to ensure the drainage and landscaping conform to the Vernon. Municipal Code. b.' The proposed use will not adversely affect the interest of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners in the vicinity of the Project because (i) the Project site is. surrounded by industrial, warehousing, retail and commercial uses. compatible with the proposed use; (ii) the Project will allow for the consolidation of its office operations, and therefore reduce the anticipated overall number of long distance trips that might otherwise occur throughout the community; (iii) the conditions on the.project ensure that only trucks of 20' or less .are utilized to and from the site, and therefore, as a result, the noise and traffic/maneuverability impacts of the proposed use will be less than if the project were a traditional manufacturing use that would require larger trucks; (iv) the site is adequately serviced by nearby streets that have sufficient 6 - - 101013735 capacity;.(v) the .Project will not'create:any significant environmental effects. c. The proposed use will be compatible with the permitted uses of surrounding and adjacent properties because (i) commercial uses may..be permitted in the ,(C) Overlay District of the I -Zone of the City with a conditional use permit; and (ii) the proposed.office space is sufficiently distant.from neighboring properties to ensure that those within the office are not adversely affected by noise or other impacts caused by neighboring properties and vice versa; (iii) all required parking..is provided on -site; and (iv) the conditions ensure that there will not be negative impacts on adjacent properties. d. The lot has adequate off-street parking and loading facilities for this proposed use, as the project site will be supported by a 44 stall surface parking lot. Ten of those parking stalls will be valet tandem parking spaces, which.is consistent with applicable development standards. A valet attendant will be employed to park employee/visitor cars during operating hours. With the conditions imposed, all parking activities will be maintained within the Applicant's premises, loading facilities will be adequate and will not interfere with customer parking, and the proposed use will not create an impact on neighboring properties. The site parking areas will be, paved with an impermeable surface that meets City of Vernon applicable development standards. e. The use as to location, operation and design, is consistent with Vernon Zoning Code and General Plan with the conditions imposed; including the city's policy considerations, as to acceptable uses in the city, because office space that directly supports industry is lawful in the city, and because the operations at the facility will 7 — _ 1o1613735 be direct.ly linked to.other manufacturing uses in the City. f. The proposed use is consistent with all applicable local, county; state and federal laws; rules and regulations because the conditions will ensure that there cannot be any significant impact on neighboring properties, and because no law.prevents the proposed use of the property'. g. The proposed use will not adversely affect the general` welfare as a result of noise, increased traffic; interference with the flow of traffic, dust, or other undesirable characteristics because (i) only 67 daily trips will be generated by the project and this number of .trips is insufficient to constitute an adverse impact; (ii) the Project has access,to Santa Fe Avenue, 53rd Street and 54th'StreeIt and traffic will generally travel on Santa Fe Avenue to 53�d Street or 54th Street to the commercial facility; Santa Fe Avenue, 53rd Street and 54th Street are adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated from the proposed operation; (iii).the traffic, operations in the area will not be adversely affected by the moderate increase in traffic volumes generated by the Project; (iv) conditions are imposed to ensure the project does not cause excess noise or impede traffic flow; and (v) the proposed office use will not create dust or impacts that would be undesirable.in a largely industrial community. h.. All of the conditions imposed on,the Project are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare because the conditions are limited in nature, and ensure that the property is used in the manner promised by the applicant. SECTION 7: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby approves the Variance from the requirements of Section 26.5.1-6(f) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance based on the following findings as 8 - - IQ1613735 required by Section 26.6.2-5 of the Vernon Zoning Code: a) There are special circumstances or conditions applicable to the lot, or the intended use of the lot, such as locations, shape, size, surrounding, or topography that do not apply generally to other properties in.the same zone or overlay zone. Other properties in the area and in the same zone do not have the same physical constraints. The layout'of.the existing building precludes installation of truck loading and parking stalls with a maneuvering aisle conforming to Section 26.5.1-6(f), if all other requirements of the code are also met. This constitutes a special circumstance that is uncommon other properties in the same zone. The intended use of the lot is also constitutes a'special circumstance or condition that does not apply generally to other properties in the same overlay zone. Unlike other uses in the city, the proposed lot will be used largely for an office space that supports on -site industrial activity, and off -site industrial activity. The property is proposed to be used for office spacefor the.applicant's`design. headquarters, and used for manufacturing operations. Unlike other properties in the zone that require large trucks for long distance shipping, and therefore require large back -out distances, the proposed use.only requires 20-foot trucks. As 'a result, the proposed use of the property will not require any ongoing need for trucks that would. require the standard maneuvering aisle distance of 50 feet for trucks and 75 foot truck loading and parking stalls. Thus, the proposed use constitutes a special circumstance that is not generally applicable. b) The strict or literal interpretation or application of the applicable -development standards or site, planning standards would result in practical difficulties' or unnecessary hardships inconsistent - 9 - 101013735 with the general purpose and intent of this chapter or would deprive applicant of privileges granted .to others in similar circumstances. The strict or, literal interpretation or application .of the applicable ment develop and site planning g standards would result in practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships that would conflict with the purposes of the Zoning Code and would deprive the applicant privileges granted to others in similar circumstances. The lot's space constraints make conforming to truck parking, loading and maneuvering requirements impossible without demolishing portion of the.existing facility. Denying this variance would create an undue hardship to the applicant in that it would be deprived of the ability to expand its operation by converting an existing building from an indoor parking garage into additional.office and.manufacturing space, resulting in the loss of productive space for the ongoing business. Given that the facility only needs trucks that are no longer than 20 feet:in length, mandating a back -out space designed for larger trucks would constitute an unnecessary hardship that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Comprehensive Zoning'O.rdinance of the City of Vernon,, which are to authorize development that does not create unreasonable impacts on. neighboring properties. 0 The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of specialprivilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same zone or overlay zone with. similar constraints.. The grant of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges. The City has issued similar variances in the same zone and in the same overlay zone with similar constraints, where, because of the unique nature of a business operation, the requirement to meet the city's minimum code requirement for truck parking, loading and 10 - - 101013735 site's narrow access makes it impossible for trucks to enter in a front forward fashion and maneuver onsite. Sufficient truck parking and loading,will be provided to meet the needs and demands .of the -property And will continue to do so with. the granting of this variance.` As such, no special privilege is being granted by the approval of this variance. d) The project is consistent with the general plan and complies with other applicable provisions of this chapter.. The project is consistent with.the General Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Goal LU-1 of the General Plan is to promote and maintain manufacturing uses within Vernon. The proposed use will supplement the existing manufacturing uses engaged in by the applicant'.. Additionally, consistent with Policy LU-1..1, the use is within a zone that authorizes the use with the issuance of a conditional use permit, and consistent with LU-1.3, the office use is necessary to support basic industrial activities. As long as the applicant complies with the conditions of approval, including the condition limiting trucks exceeding 20 feet in Length, the variance Will be consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. e) The variance will 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 variance -will not adversely.affect the interests of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the premises because if only shorter trucks are utilized, the ability to enter and exit the,property.without impacting neighbors 1 1 - 101013735 and traffic patterns will not be compromised'. if anything, granting the variance is beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare, because by only allowing smaller trucks on the property, those trucks will be able to better maneuver, and will be able to enter and exit more quickly, and make less noise and less pollution impacts than larger trucks.. The variance approval places suitable conditions on the lot to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that are not otherwise allowed in the zone or overlay zone (unless a.conditional use permit. has, been granted). The grant of the variance places suitable conditions on the Applicant to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that are not otherwise allowed in the I -Zone, Industrial. As provided in the conditions of approval, the Applicant will be required to enter into a covenant and agreement restricting.the.use of lot.: This will assure that all trucks entering the site shall be limited to a maximum of 20' feet in length at the shorter non -conforming truck loading spaces to. ensure that trucks will not extend into the alleyway while in the parking and loading spaces. The only uses allowed on the lot are. those permitted in the I -Zone, and those _uses are consistent with the surrounding industrial uses. These conditions will sufficiently protect surrounding properties. SECTION 8: The following conditions are imposed on the CUP and Variance.. These conditions are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare: a. . The facility shall be operated in accordance:with_'all current codes, rules, and regulations and subject to fees as adopted by the City of Vernon not otherwise addressed by this grant of a 12 - 101013735 conditional use. permit. b.

In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code Section 26.5.1-6, as fully described in the resolution, concur with the recommendation of the Director of Community Services in setting the minimum parking and loading and maneuvering requirement for office uses for this, and future projects, involving office uses in Vernon: (1) Automobile Parking: 3 stalls per 1,000 square feet; (2) Tandem Parking Stalls —up to 1/3 of the required automobile parking spaces may be provided as tandem parking spaces if a valet is on site whenever any vehicle is parked in a tandem parking space and blocks access to or from another parking space; (3) Truck Loading - I stall per 25,000 square feet, (4) Truck Parking stalls are not required. [1yT9J "C" "TIllML I Joie Jeans is a garment manufacturer and distributor in the City of Vernon, presently operating out of two separate buildings in Vernon. Its main warehouse is at 4599 District Boulevard. The project site, 5300 Santa Fe Avenue, serves as its corporate offices and design center. The Project is in the City's Commercial (C) Overlay District of the Industrial (I) zone. PROJECT Joie Jeans on behalf of the property owner of 5300 Santa Fe Avenue, Santa Fe Building 5332, LLC, (collectively, the "Applicant") has applied for a conditional use permit ("CUP") and a variance to operate a commercial facility. The Applicant is proposing to expand its operation at 5300 Santa Fe Avenue by converting the building at the neighboring 5320 Santa Fe Avenue from an indoor parking garage into additional office and manufacturing space. This would involve the remodeling an existing 4,765 square foot parking structure into an equally sized office space. The Applicant previously demolished the building at 5332 Santa Fe Avenue, and proposes to use that lot to provide the required number of parking spaces for the proposed use. The applicant plans to continue to use a portion of the property for industrial uses, but would propose that the CUP allow up to 10,997 square feet of the structure to be used as office space. Thus, as a result, the primary use of the property would change from industrial to a commercial use. Section 26.4.2-3(b)'of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would allow the proposed commercial uses in the (C) Overlay District of the I -Zone, if a conditional use permit is issued. Although the applicant will provide the necessary number of parking spaces, a variance would be required to authorize the truck parking space and truck loading space to have less than the required minimum 75feet in length and the 50 foot maneuvering space. Staff recommends that a variance be issued. Vehicular access to the site is provided via three driveways off a public alleyway which runs parallel to Santa Fe Avenue between 53`d Street and 54'" Street. 53rd Street and 54d' Street are of adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated from the proposed operation. The Project is proposed to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days a week, Monday through Friday. ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The proposed Project will be consistent with the City of Vernon's Zoning Ordinance upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Variance. Section 26.4.2-3(b) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance authorizes commercial uses in the (C) Overlay District of the I -Zone with a conditional use permit. The subject site is located in the (C) Overlay District of the I -Zone, Industrial, and the Applicant has applied for a conditional use permit. Section 26.6.2-1 authorizes the City Council to authorize a variance if it makes the requisite findings. -z- Recommended Parking Requirements For the City to issue the Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant must meet the development standards of the Zoning Code, including the parking, maneuvering, and loading requirements. The City's Zoning Code does not establish the requisite parking for commercial uses. Instead, Section 26.5.1-6 of the City Code states: "If a use requires a Conditional Use Permit, the Director of Community Services shall recommend the minimum number of parking spaces and the minimum loading and maneuvering requirements for the requested use during the Conditional Use Permit process, based on the information and analysis provided as part of the Conditional Use Permit application process. The Director of Community Services shall notify the City Council of the recommendation. With the concurrence of the City Council, the Director of Community Services shall utilize the recommended minimum parking and loading and maneuvering requirements as the standard for that and similar uses." The City in the past has used the ITE Parking Generation Manual for guidance when determining what parking standards should be established. Staff recommends that the conditional use permit again include conditions based upon these standards. Doing so would be consistent with the Community Services Director's administrative interpretation of section 26.5.1-6 that established the ITE Parking Generation manual as the appropriate method for the Director to determine what parking requirements should apply. Number and Type of Required Automobile Parking Spaces Applying those standards, the calculation for the total number of required automobile spaces would be based, in part, on the type of use. The following are the recommended required parking ratios: Type of Use Proposed Proposed Project Required Auto Required Ratio Square Footage Parking Spaces Office Use 3 stalls per 1000 10,997 square feet 32.9 square feet Manufacturing 1 space per 1,000 10,774 square feet 10.8 square feet Total Required 44 spaces Automobile Parking Spaces If these standards are used, based on the proposed Project size, the applicant would be required to provide 44 automobile parking spaces. The Applicant plans to provide only 34 parking spaces — 10 automobile parking stalls short from the requirements. -3- However, staff proposes that office uses may be authorized to have up to one third of the required automobile parking spaces be provided as "tandem" parking spaces. Therefore, up to 14 of the spaces may be "tandem" parking spaces (although the applicant would need only 10). Consistent with this proposed standard, the Applicant will also be providing 10 valet tandem parking spaces to provide the requisite number of parking spaces on its current site. Condition of approval "n" requires a valet attendant to be on site whenever any vehicle is parked in a tandem parking space to block access to or from another tandem parking space. Variance - Number and Type of Truck Parking Spaces and Truck Loading Spaces A variance is required to allow one smaller sized loading space and one such smaller sized parking space. Manufacturing uses require one truck parking space per 25,000 square feet. Staff proposes that office uses not be required to provide truck parking for office uses. Therefore, based upon these standards, the applicant would be required to provide one truck parking space, which it would do. However, the proposed truck parking space would only be 20 feet long, and not the required 75 feet in length. As such, a variance is required for the length of the space. Likewise, manufacturing uses require one truck loading space per 10,000 square feet. Staff proposes that office uses be required to provide 1 truck parking per 25,000 square feet of office space. Therefore, based upon these standards, the applicant would be required to provide two truck loading spaces, which it would do. However, like the truck parking space, the proposed truck loading space would only be 20 feet long, and not the required 75 feet in length. As such, a variance is also required for the size of the loading space. In both situations, staff believes it is appropriate to issue a variance. The Applicant has stated it will only have one truck accessing the site (UPS & FedEx) twice a day, and that it would be rare that more than one truck loading or parking space would be used. The Applicant has stated that it plans to only use 20 foot trucks at 5300 Santa Fe Avenue and use the truck parking and loading docks at 4599 District Avenue for his larger trucks. City staff has determined that sufficient truck parking and loading will be provided for the proposed use. Additionally, staff has proposed condition 'T' to require that a covenant be recorded on the property prohibiting vehicles from exceeding 20 feet in length absent prior city approval, and also a condition requiring the posting of a sign at the driveway entrance clearly stating "Trucks Exceeding 20 feet in Length Prohibited. Violators may be fined $500." If a variance is issued, the parking layout would meet the minimum parking requirements for a commercial use as specified by the City of Vernon Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Overflow Parking It is anticipated that no overflow parking onto adjacent side streets will occur. Should that expectation prove to be incorrect, staff has proposed the inclusion of condition "f', which, among other things, states that if at any time the Applicant needs additional parking spaces beyond the number provided, the Applicant will need to provide additional parking, either on -site or off -site or terminate the office -a- uses. Consequently, the conditions on the proposed Project will ensure that the project will not adversely affect the interest of the public in the vicinity of the premises, and will comply with the Zoning Code. General Plan Compliance The proposed Project will also be consistent with the City's General Plan upon the approval of the Conditional Use Permit and variance. In accordance with the City of Vernon General Plan, commercial uses are intended to serve industry uses and its employees and are considered an additional authorized land use within the City. Specifically, Policy LU-1.2 of the General Plan states: "Permit only those non -industrial uses, such as commercial and retail uses, which are necessary to support industry, and its employees or may be required by State Law. Limit such uses to the Commercial Overlay District, and permit only with a Conditional Use Permit." Thus, with the approval of a conditional use permit and the variance, the proposed Project will be consistent with Policy LU-1.2 and the City's General Plan. PROJECT SITE The project site will be comprised of three existing buildings (known as 5300, 5316 and 5320 Santa Fe Avenue) located on the same parcel. The Applicant has also acquired the building at 5332 Santa Fe Avenue, which has been demolished to provide the required number of parking spaces. A covenant has already been recorded to hold these parcels as one. The building to the south (known as 5320 Santa Fe Avenue) is approximately 4,765 square feet, and is currently used for indoor automobile parking. The Applicant is proposing to expand its operation by converting the building at 5320 Santa Fe Avenue from indoor parking garage to office and manufacturing space. The two buildings to the north (known as 5316 and 5300 Santa Fe Avenue) are currently used for garment design, sample manufacturing and offices. The project site will be supported by a 44 stall surface parking lot. Ten of those parking stalls will be valet aisle parking spaces. The project site will also be supported by one truck parking stall and two loading stalls. Trucks accessing the proposed site are UPS & FedEx trucks that deliver merchandise and supplies and will occur twice a day (9:00 a.m. & 4:00 p.m.). All big bulk items will be delivered to their warehouse facility located at 4599 District Boulevard. The Applicant has stated that only trucks of smaller lengths will be used at the shorter truck parking/loading spaces to ensure that vehicles will not extend into the alleyway while parked in the loading spaces. The proposed sites parking area will be paved with an impermeable surface that meets City of Vernon standards. City staff has determined that the project site and development of the property is consistent with the applicable development standards. Only 67 daily trips will be generated by the project and this number of trips is insufficient to constitute an adverse impact. Most of the vehicular traffic at the commercial facility will occur in the early morning. Trucks that will deliver/pick-up product and supplies to the proposed site will occur twice a day (9:00 a.m. & 4:00 p.m.). Peak traffic hours for the streets in the vicinity occur in the early morning and late afternoon. The traffic operations in the area will not be significantly adversely -5- affected by traffic volumes generated by the proposed project. Motorists using the surrounding street system will not experience major changes in traffic operations due the traffic generated by the proposed development. CEQA DETERMINATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The proposed Project is in the (C) Overlay District of the I -Zone. The uses in the surrounding and adjacent properties include retail, commercial, warehouse, residential, and general industrial uses and are compatible with the proposed operation. No, significant 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. Therefore, the project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061, the general rule exempting projects that will not have a significant effect on the environment, and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15303, because: (i) no significant physical changes will occur as a result of this approval; (ii) the proposed construction converts an existing 4,765 square foot parking structure into an office building in an urban area, (iii) the project is an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan, (iv) the project does not involve significant amounts of hazardous substances, and (v) the area is not in an environmentally sensitive area. STATE OR FEDERAL CONDITIONS All Federal, State, and local regulatory permits shall be obtained as required for the operation of the facility. STAFF FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS Staff recommends that the conditional use permit and variance be granted only if the following findings are made, as required by Section 26.6.3-4 and Section 26.6.2-5 of the Vernon Zoning Code. Staff concludes that the following findings can be made, and recommends that they be made in the following manner: FINDINGS (Conditional Use Permit) a. The lot for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, and topography, including any required drainage and landscaping because (i) the project will provide the correct number of parking spaces on site; (ii) the issuance of the variance to allow the required back -out distance behind the truck parking and loading spaces will not negatively affect maneuverability because all trucks visiting the site will be 20' or less; (iii) the conditions imposed will ensure that the site is developed appropriately for its size, shape and topography; (iv) all components of a standard development project are included, such as a trash bin in an accessible location, and proper frontage and accessibility to nearby streets for the proposed use; and (v) the site will be constructed to ensure the drainage and landscaping conform to the Vernon Municipal Code. b. The proposed use will not adversely affect the interest of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners in the vicinity of the Project because (i) the L Project site is surrounded by industrial, warehousing, retail and commercial uses compatible with the proposed use; (ii) the Project will allow for the consolidation of its office operations, and therefore reduce the anticipated overall number of long distance trips that might otherwise occur throughout the community; (iii) the conditions on the project ensure that only trucks of 20' or less are utilized to. and from the site, and therefore, as a result, the noise and traffic/maneuverability impacts of the proposed use will be less than if the project were a traditional manufacturing use that would require larger trucks; (iv) the site is adequately serviced by nearby streets that have sufficient capacity; (v) the Project will not create any significant environmental effects. C. The proposed use will be compatible with the permitted uses of surrounding and adjacent properties because (i) commercial uses maybe permitted in the (C) Overlay District of the I -Zone of the City with a conditional use permit; and (ii) the proposed office space is sufficiently distant from neighboring properties to ensure that those within the office are not adversely affected by noise or other impacts caused by neighboring properties and vice versa; (iii) all required parking is provided on -site; and (iv) the conditions ensure that there will not be negative impacts on adjacent properties. d. The lot has adequate off-street parking and loading facilities for this proposed use, as the project site will be supported by a 44 stall surface parking lot. Ten of those parking stalls will be valet tandem parking spaces, which is consistent with applicable development standards. A valet attendant will be employed to park employee/visitor cars during operating hours. With the conditions imposed, all parking activities will be maintained within the Applicant's premises, loading facilities will be adequate and will not interfere with customer parking, and the proposed use will not create an impact on neighboring properties. The site parking areas will be paved; with an impermeable surface that meets City of Vernon applicable development standards. e. The use as to location, operation and design, is consistent with Vernon Zoning Code and General Plan with the conditions imposed, including the city's policy considerations as to acceptable uses in the city, because office space that directly supports industry is lawful in the city, and because the operations at the facility will be directly linked to other manufacturing uses in the City. f The proposed use is consistent with all applicable local, county, state and federal laws, rules and regulations because the conditions will ensure that there cannot be any significant impact on neighboring properties, and because no law prevents the proposed use of the property. g. The proposed use will not adversely affect the general welfare as a.result of noise, increased traffic, interference with the flow of traffic, dust, or other undesirable characteristics because (i) only 67 daily trips will be generated by the project and this number of trips is insufficient to constitute an adverse impact; (ii) the Project has access to Santa Fe Avenue, 53`d Street and 54th Street and traffic will generally travel on Santa Fe Avenue to 53 d Street or 54th Street to the commercial facility; Santa Fe Avenue, 53'd Street and 54th Street are adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated from the proposed operation; (iii) the traffic operations in the area will not be adversely affected by the moderate increase in traffic volumes -7- generated by the Project; (iv) conditions are imposed to ensure the project does not cause excess noise or impede traffic flow; and (v) the proposed office use will not create dust or impacts that would be undesirable in a largely industrial community. h. All of the conditions imposed on the Project are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare because the conditions are limited in nature, and ensure that the property is used in the manner promised by the applicant. FINDINGS (Variance) a) There are special circumstances or conditions applicable to the lot, or the intended use of the lot, such as locations, shape, size, surrounding, or topography that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or overlay zone. Other properties in the area and in the same zone do not have the same physical constraints. The layout of the existing building precludes installation of truck loading and parking stalls with a maneuvering aisle conforming to Section 26.5.1-6(f), if all other requirementspf the code are also met. This constitutes a special circumstance that is uncommon other properties in the same zone. The intended use of the lot is also constitutes a special circumstance or condition that does not apply generally to other properties in the same overlay zone. Unlike other uses in the city, the proposed lot will be used largely for an office space that supports on -site industrial activity, and off -site industrial activity. The property is proposed to be used for office space for the applicant's design headquarters, and used for manufacturing operations. Unlike other properties in the zone that require large trucks for long distance shipping, and therefore require large back -out distances, the proposed use only requires 20-foot trucks. As a result, the proposed use of the property will not require any ongoing need for trucks that would require the standard maneuvering aisle distance of 50 feet for trucks and 75 foot truck loading and parking stalls. Thus, the proposed use constitutes a special circumstance that is not generally applicable. b) The strict or literal interpretation or application of the applicable development standards or site planning standards would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of this chapter or would deprive applicant of privileges granted to others in similar circumstances. The strict or literal interpretation or application of the applicable development and site planning standards would result in practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships that would conflict with the purposes of the Zoning Code and would deprive the applicant privileges granted to others in similar circumstances. The lot's space constraints make conforming to truck parking, loading and maneuvering requirements impossible without demolishing portion of the existing facility. Denying this variance would create an undue hardship to the applicant in that it would be deprived of the ability to expand its operation by converting an existing building from an indoor parking garage into additional office and manufacturing space, resulting in the loss of productive space for the ongoing business. Given that the facility only needs trucks that are no longer than 20 feet in length, mandating a back -out space designed for larger trucks would -8- constitute an unnecessary hardship that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Vernon, which are to authorize development that does not create unreasonable impacts on neighboring properties. c) The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same zone or overlay zone with similar constraints. The grant of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges. The City has issued similar variances in the same zone and in the same overlay zone with similar constraints, where, because of the unique nature of a business operation, the requirement to meet the city's minimum code requirement for truck parking, loading and unobstructed maneuvering is overly burdensome and unnecessary. The site's narrow access makes it impossible for trucks to enter in a front forward fashion and maneuver onsite. Sufficient truck parking and loading will be provided to meet the needs and demands of the property and will continue to do so with the granting of this variance. As such, no special privilege is being granted by the approval of this variance. d) The project is consistent with the general plan and complies with other applicable provisions of this chapter. The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Goal LU-1 of the General Plan is to promote and maintain manufacturing uses within Vernon. The proposed use will supplement the existing manufacturing uses engaged in by the applicant. Additionally, consistent with Policy LU-1.1, the use is within a zone that authorizes the use with the issuance of a conditional use permit, and consistent with LU-1.3, the office use is necessary to support basic industrial activities. As long as the applicant complies with the conditions of approval, including the condition limiting trucks exceeding 20 feet in length, the variance will be consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. e) The variance will 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 variance will not adversely affect the interests of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners within the vicinity of the premises because if only shorter trucks are utilized, the ability to enter and exit the property without impacting neighbors and traffic patterns will not be compromised. If anything, granting the variance is beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare, because by only allowing smaller trucks on the property, those trucks will be able to better maneuver, and will be able to enter and exit more quickly, and make less noise and less pollution impacts than larger trucks. -9- ,i The variance approval places suitable conditions on the lot to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that are not otherwise allowed in the zone or overlay zone (unless a conditional use permit has been granted). The grant of the variance places suitable conditions on the Applicant to protect surrounding properties and does not permit uses that are not otherwise allowed in the I -Zone, Industrial. As provided in the conditions of approval, the Applicant will be required to enter into a covenant and agreement restricting the use of lot. This will assure that all trucks entering the site shall be limited to a maximum of 20 feet in length at the shorter non -conforming truck loading spaces to ensure that trucks will not extend into the alleyway while in the parking and loading spaces. The only uses allowed on the lot are those permitted in the I -Zone, and those uses are consistent with the surrounding industrial uses. These conditions will sufficiently protect surrounding properties. 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: a. The facility shall be operated in accordance with all current codes, rules, and regulations and subject to fees as adopted by the City of Vernon not otherwise addressed by this grant of a conditional use permit. b. The facility shall be operated in a manner that will prevent unsanitary conditions, odors or other nuisances. C. At all times, all parking areas shall be: (1) striped in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Services & Water; (2) paved with a concrete or asphalt concrete paving or other surface reasonably acceptable to the Director of Community Services & Water; (3) adequately drained; and (4) kept free of potholes, dust, mud, trash and weeds. d. Servicing of vehicles, including but not limited to, washing, steam cleaning and repairing, shall not be permitted on the premises. No inoperative vehicles shall be stored on -site. e. The parking and loading areas shall be maintained substantially in compliance with the site plan as submitted as part of this conditional use permit application, except as otherwise approved in writing by the Director of Community Services and Water. No vehicle parking or staging associated with the facility shall take place on any public street or alley within Vernon. Vehicle may be parked on the property only within the designated parking spaces. f. At no time shall the property be allowed to be used in such a manner that on two or more days within any seven day period, it is not possible for any additional automobiles to park within designated parking stalls without any other vehicles first being moved. If this occurs, then the property owner (the "Owner") shall choose one of the following consequences: 1. All office uses on the property shall immediately cease. -to- 2. The Owner and the City shall agree as to the number of additional parking spaces that are needed. If the City and the property owner do not agree, then the owner shall promptly pay to the City the full reasonable cost of the City hiring a qualified consultant of the City's choice to determine the full amount of parking spaces that need to be provided to meet the full parking demands of the property. After receiving the consultant's final report, the Director of Community Services (the "Director") shall provide a copy of the report to the property owner, and notify the property owner of the date and time on which the Director will conduct a hearing to determine the amount of parking that is required. The hearing shall occur not earlier than 10 days after transmission of the report to the property Owner and issuance of the notice of the hearing, and inform the owner of his right to provide evidence prior to or at the hearing regarding the proper number of parking spaces that are required. Unless the Owner waives the need for the hearing, the Director shall conduct the hearing, and determine, based upon substantial evidence, how many parking spaces are required to establish reasonable guarantee's that the requirements of this condition "f' are not again violated. The Director shall notify the property owner of the Director's determination in writing. Once the required number of additional parking spaces is established, the property owner shall do any combination of the following which actions collectively shall cause the parking demands to be met: a. Promptly and diligently thereafter take action to provide additional parking on -site. b. Promptly and diligently thereafter take action to provide additional parking off -site, provided the off -site parking facilities are within 1,500 of the site. g. The Applicant, Owner, and any successors in interest shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City of Vernon, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, complaints or petitions for: (1) damages, losses, expenses resulting from bodily injury, sickness, disease, disability or death arising from the operation of the facility excluding therefrom any such claim resulting from the sole negligence or intentional wrongdoing of the City of Vernon, its officers, agents or employees; (2) a peremptory writ or other relief by way of injunction, mandamus, or administrative mandamus; and/or (3) legal expenses and attorney's fees incurred by the City of Vernon on behalf of any party in such actions or proceedings. The City of Vernon does not waive its right to participate in the defense of any such action. h. Noncompliance with any of the conditions herein shall constitute sufficient grounds for the City Council of the City of Vernon to revoke this conditional use permit, or take appropriate enforcement action, including citation and or fines for a violation. -u- i. Not later than twenty (20) days from the date of approval of the Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant and Owner shall indicate, in writing, its acceptance of and agreement with the conditions herein. The Conditional Use Permit and Variance shall be void and of no force or effect unless such written acceptance and agreement is submitted to the City within the twenty - day period. j. The Applicant shall maintain property in such a way as to not directly cause or contribute to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (Stormwater Permit) violation. k. The Owner shall prominently post and maintain a sign in lettering of at least 2" in height adjacent to each alleyway entrance that states, "No Parking or Stopping allowed". All letters shall be at least 2" tall. 1. Within 90 days of the date of approval of the Conditional Use Permit, the Owner and Applicant shall cause a covenant to be recorded on the property with the Los Angeles County Recorder, which covenant shall be in a form that meets the approval of the City Attorney, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Immediately after filing the covenant, the Owner or Applicant shall provide proof to the City of Vernon that the covenant was properly recorded. The covenant shall, at minimum: (1) prohibit any vehicle of greater than 20 feet in length from parking or unloading on site, unless authorized in writing in advance by the City of Vernon's Director of Community Services & Water; (2) require at least one sign be prominently posted and maintained at the driveway entrance that adequately notifies truck operators of this requirement in lettering of at least 2" in height and states, "Trucks Exceeding 20 feet in Length Prohibited. Violators may be fined $500.00." in. In addition to any other applicable remedies authorized by the Vernon Municipal Code, the City may require the property owner to pay a fine for every truck that enters the site that violates the size requirements stated in the covenant to be recorded. n. A valet parking attendant shall be on site whenever any vehicle is parked in a tandem parking space and blocks access to or from another parking space. o. The property shall be limited to 10,997 square feet of office area.
