PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 — PAGE 2 Page 3 Senior Planner, David Blumenthal, presented staff's report and PowerPoint, indicating that after the report had been prepared, the applicant informed staff that there was no intent to install a juice bar and would instead be selling only pre - packaged foods; therefore, he recommended modifying those affected conditions: striking Condition Nos. 8, 14, 21 and 22, and adding a new Condition No. 9, which limits food sales to prepackaged food and factory sealed drinks. Mr. Blumenthal passed out copies of the revised Resolution. In addition, he stated that all four findings can be made in a positive manner.

Ms. Johnson called it "A breath of fresh air" and noted that she hoped to work with those suffering from diabetes. She stated that she had reviewed and accepted the recommended conditions of approval. In response to Commissioner Vasquez' inquiry, Ms. Johnson stated that she has operated tanning booths for many years and has a certification, in order to operate them in a safe manner. She stated that she is ASI- certified as a personal trainer as are all her representatives. Ms. Johnson shared that she has lived in Downey for 25 years and loves Downey. Commissioner Lambros pointed to Public Works Condition Nos. 16 -21, and inquired if they were really necessary. Mr. Blumenthal stated these conditions were standard, if needed; however, he agreed that these probably would not apply. Mr. Blumenthal informed the Planning Commissioners that no correspondence had been received on this matter. Wishing to address the Planning Commission, were the following: 1.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 — PAGE 3 Page 4 Vice - Chairman Kiefer stated the action of the Planning Commission will be final unless the matter is appealed to the City Council, with the appropriate fee, within the specified time period as set forth in the City's Ordinance. 3. PLN -10 -08074 -DOWNTOWN DOWNEY SPECIFIC PLAN Location: The boundaries of the Downtown Overlay are roughly bounded by the Union Pacific Railroad right of way to the south, Civic Center Drive /Dolan Avenue to the east (extending to Brookshire Ave on the south side of Firestone Blvd.), Myrtle Street to the west (including Myrtle Plaza on the west side of Myrtle between Second and Third), and an irregular north boundary that extends to Fifth Street to the north. The proposed Specific Plan will extend these boundaries to Brookshire Avenue to the east, the Union Pacific Railroad right - of -way to the south, Paramount Boulevard to the west, and an irregular northern boundary along Fourth Street, extending to Fifth Street in areas and including the former Gallatin Medical site. The Rives Mansion, located at the northwest corner of Third Street and Paramount Boulevard, has also been included in the project area. Owner /Applicant: City of Downey Authorized Agent: City of Downey Staff: David Blumenthal /Mark Sellheim CEQA: As required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for this application and was previously circulated for review. Request: A request to recommend that the City Council: 1) Certify the Final Environmental Impact Report; 2) Amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan; 3) Adopt the Downtown Downey Specific Plan; and 4) Repeal Section 9326 of Article IX of the Downey Municipal Code, thereby revoking the "Downtown Plan for Downey's Historical Downtown District'. Vice - Chairman Kiefer opened the public hearing for the Downtown Specific Plan. Senior Planner, David Blumenthal presented the PowerPoint slides which documented the process the City has followed in order to bring the Downtown Specific Plan to the Commission. He recapped the community outreach events: Stakeholder interviews in October, 2009; a public workshop December 2009; El scoping meeting May 26, 2010; Downtown Project Area Committee meeting June 2010; and the Joint Workshop July 6, 2010. He explained and provided exhibits of the revised boundaries of the plan and went on to describe the five Land Use Districts contained within the proposed plan: 1) Paramount Boulevard Professional District; 2) Downtown Residential District; 3) Downtown Core District; 4) Civic Center District; and 5) Firestone Boulevard Gateway District. In addition, Mr. Blumenthal's presentation involved: 1) Elements of the proposed urban design; 2) the City's evaluation of available parking, known parking deficiencies and how the City would compensate; 3) types of signs the City would like to see utilized in the downtown. 4) The environmental impact report, its findings and how the City would mitigate impacts where able and those unavoidable impacts, which included: "construction - related emissions — nitrogen oxide, the project's long -term or operational emissions generated by project - generated traffic, and indirectly by on -site energy consumption to power, heat and cool the buildings; cumulative air quality impacts; greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts; traffic impacts (Firestone /Paramount and Downey Avenue /2n Street ". Commissioner Kiefer inquired how the anticipated noise figures (noise decibels) are determined. Senior Planner Blumenthal explained that the consultants have computer programs (models) and formulas to determine the anticipated increases in noise. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 – PAGE 4 Page 5 Mr. Blumenthal noted that since some of the traffic, air and green house gas (GHG) impacts would not be mitigated below a level of significance, the City has prepared the Statement of Overriding Considerations which indicates that the City realizes there will be unavoidable negative impacts to the downtown area caused by this plan, but the City believes the benefits far out way the impacts. He noted that the Statement of Overriding Considerations explains why the decision - making body considers the adverse effects to be considered "acceptable" because of the greater benefit to the city as a whole. He noted that this statement is incorporated into the EIR and will be adopted as part of the EIR. Mr. Blumenthal also explained the proposed actions would include amendments within the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan. He clarified: 1) within the "Balance of Land Uses" Chapter, staff is proposing to add /revise the mixed use definition, to bring it into consistency with the other land use designations; and 2) because density and intensity will now be set in the "Balance of Land Uses" chapters, Mr. Blumenthal noted that staff is proposing to amend the "Livable Communities" chapter to eliminate the references to density and intensity. In addition, the amendment will include an amendment to the map to include the additional sites to the Specific Plan area, designating those areas to Mixed Use. Mr. Blumenthal stated staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission, is to take four (4) actions, all recommendations to City Council. They are: 1) To certify the Final Environmental Impact Report; 2) approve an amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan; 3) Adopt the Downtown Downey Specific Plan (PLN -10- 08074); and 4) Repeal Section 9326 of Article IX of the Downey Municipal Code, thereby revoking the Downtown Plan for Downey's Historical Downtown District. Commissioner Murray asked Mr. Blumenthal to clarify which parcels would be affected by revoking the Downtown Plan for Downey's Historical Downtown District. Mr. Blumenthal noted that under the Specific Plan, the only historical structure acknowledged is the Rives Mansion and that is because of its architecture. He noted that this structure is immediately recognizable and is covered in the Plan. Other structures may be deemed historic when placed under scrutiny and if the State or Federal government places them on the list of historic structures, which would afford them those protections. Commissioner Vasquez stated that he would be reclusing himself from discussions on this item. Vice - Chairman Kiefer asked about the 15% compact parking formula; whether that is considered the standard with other cities? Senior Planner Blumenthal said that it is typical for cities to allow from 15 -25% of required off - street parking spaces to be compact. Downey has elected to go on the lower end at 15 %. Vice - Chairman Kiefer inquired why the City wanted to include the Rives Mansion in District 1 (Paramount Boulevard Professional District). Mr. Blumenthal stated that the public had brought the Rives Mansion into discussion during outreach meetings, feeling that it held significance and should be addressed. Also, although the Rives Mansion is on the western side of Paramount Boulevard, it provides the western book -end along Third Street; noting that from City Hall one can view the Rives Mansion by looking westward. He stated that Downey Avenue and 3 d Street are two of the main streets within the downtown. He noted that if included, the facility could be used for one of numerous types of uses, to include: cultural /art museum, banquet facility, etc. Vice - Chairman Kiefer invited the public to address the Commission. Wishing to address the Commission, from the audience: 1) Dee DeYoung, 7954 6 th Street, facing Gallatin Medical Center. She stated she is against including the former Gallatin Medical Center in the plan to become Mixed Use. Her concerns were directed toward: 1 -the lack of enforcement of semi trucks parking along Paramount Boulevard, near 10631 Paramount Blvd; 2- the impact on the residences that are affected by parking on streets and increasing (bumper -to- bumper) traffic; 3- the lack of signs for street sweeping, saying that the street sweepers just swing around those PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 — PAGE 5 Page 6 vehicles and the street doesn't get properly cleaned. 4- She stated there was not enough parking provided for the hospice (on Paramount ?) 5- Also, the house rentals along 6 th Street park many vehicles on the street and add to the congestion. She restated her preference that the parcels remain zoned for Professional Office. 2. Odemaris Valdivia, 7931 3 d Street, noted she had also provided a letter of correspondence. (Receipt was acknowledged. It was included in the Planning Commissioners packets.) Ms. Valdivia stated her concerns were also in regards to increased traffic and congestion. She noted that she lives six houses down from Rives Mansion and she described how she has been impacted by recent activities at the site to include: 1) lack of street parking; 2) difficulty making left turns onto Paramount Boulevard (suggested a sign be posted not to block the intersection); 3) drivers use Third Street as a short cut to their destinations, increasing traffic and creating hazard situation because the cars speed through. Ms. Valdivia objected to expanding the Specific Plan area. She said there are plenty of vacant parcels in the downtown of which the City should focus on developing without expanding, and without adding Rives Mansion. When she bought her home, the Rives Mansion was residential. But since the new owners purchase they continue to host events. She doesn't want to see activities occur on site, because it impacts her lifestyle, her home, citing two major events that had occurred, and a photo shoot there as well. She is also concerned about the safety of the residences with the speeding cars and strangers coming into their neighborhood. She cited recent increase in crime in the neighborhood. She stated that the Rives Mansion will always be a symbol of Downey and she does not see the benefit of including it in the Specific Plan, since no benefits were listed. 3. Jim Kriss, speaking on behalf of Burke Weinberger, owner of Neil's Stationers, 8152 Firestone Boulevard, told the Commission that he is a commercial real estate developer and is well aware that without adequate parking, no project will be successful. He stated that Mr. Weinberger was especially interested in the City's plans because he will soon be marketing his property along Firestone Boulevard, but without parking it is not possible to create "synergy ". He did not think housing would be a good choice along Nance. He said you cannot bring in any substantial development without parking. And he provided some examples to support his theory. Commissioner Murray stated that he understood that the recently approved Gateway project would add 101 parking spaces for those developments along Firestone Boulevard. Mr. Kriss asked if Mr. Weinberger will be able to market his property for medical uses and realized that he won't know until the plan is approved. Mr. Kriss made it clear that parking was his greatest concern, be it parking structures and commercial developers want to see exposure and parking and convenience of getting in and out. He also stated that commercial developers will want to see restaurants there, too. Mr. Kriss stated that Mr. Weinberger had not been contacted regarding the plan, but perhaps that would come later. Community Development Director Saeki suggested that Mr. Kriss meet with staff right after the meeting and they could give him updates to the questions he is asking, but would like to keep the meeting moving along. He suggested instituting the 5- minute clock for public input. 4. Tom Papoulias, resident of Downey for 25+ years and involved in commercial real estate during that time specializing in multi - family and leasing, stated that he, wants to see Downey prosper. He agreed that parking is the most important issue to be addressed and suggested a solution be found. 5. William Molinari, 11146 Downey Avenue, dress shop manager & property owner for 18 years, noted that the City is in an upswing right now with Porto's and new businesses coming in. He said the last City improvement program was attractive, but in doing so, they lost much parking. Their building was built in the 1960s and parking requirements were different then. But today, if the parking is not provided, customers will not stop. Mr. Molinari noted that he hoped the City's planned re -use of the Verizon building would include consideration for the parking needs of the surrounding businesses. He stated that they are very supportive of the Plan and is optimistic of the future of the downtown. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 — PAGE 6 Page 7 There being no further comments, Vice - Chairman Kiefer closed the public hearing and opened the discussion up to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Vasquez said that he would recluse himself from any discussion on this matter and stepped away from the dais. Commission comments: Commissioner Murray stated that he recognizes the concerns related to parking, which is a problem the City is trying to improve. He noted that the Specific Plan will set in place a design for the future development of the downtown for the good of the City. It will encourage and utilize mixed use development to the greatest extent possible, encourage people to park in the parking structure, and to walk around the area. The Specific Plan includes retail components, as well as modified housing standards to provide for residential elements, to utilize these properties to their best extent. He noted that the state is currently in a recession, which explains the number of vacancies in the downtown, but this plan is looking at the future development, to keep the City vibrant and to encourage employment opportunities. He stated that he supports forwarding the plan on to the City Council. Commissioner Lambros thanked all of the speakers who shared their public and private concerns regarding the City's downtown and the plan before them, in particular those issues along the streets of 6 Street and 3rd Street. She directed a question to staff, noting that Porto's was constructing its own parking structure in the downtown, but did the City have plans to develop additional parking? Senior Planner Blumenthal responded, noting that in addition to the new Porto's parking structure and the City's parking structure, the City owns numerous parking areas throughout the downtown area. Once the Specific Plan is in place, the City can look for funding to provide additional parking. In addition to Mr. Blumenthal's remarks, Mr. Saeki said that in coordination with the Verizon Building development, the City is negotiating with some property owners in the area to assemble parcels, with the goal to provide another 100 parking spaces. He stated that the City acknowledges the need for additional parking to create a viable downtown, and is working on different methods to accomplish this goal. He noted that the downtown is in a special zone, the Redevelopment Area, and therefore is eligible for special funds that are available for public parking. Commissioner Lambros stated that she agrees that available parking is the key to success in the downtown, empathizing with those speakers regarding her own frustration with lack of parking. She stated that this appears to have been given a high priority by the City in developing this plan. She thanked the speakers again for sharing their comments. Vice - Chairman Kiefer stated that he'd lived in the City for the past 35 years and has seen many changes. He recognized the importance of providing the parking. The Vice - Chairman noted that while many residents have expressed the desire to have restaurants developed in Downey, there are also those who want the City to remain a "bedroom community ". He stated his enthusiasm for the plan is because it encourages and supports dining and entertainment while maintaining the majority of the City as residential. He expressed a concern with the Rives Mansion corridor, which could become a problem with impacts to the residences on Third Street and suggested moving slowly on that component. Vice - Chairman Kiefer also addressed the concerns of parking along Paramount, noting that if residential is created, adequate parking is necessary, noting that sufficient parking for a single family home may be more than the required two parking spaces. Commissioner Lambros recalled a Planning Commission - approved event at Rives Mansion whereby the Commission had required additional off -site (valet) parking be provided. She suggested the City incorporate similar conditions for other such events, to mitigate impacts to the Third Street residents. Community Development Director Saeki responded, noting that when events anticipate 500 or more people, a Special Event application is processed and noticed to the neighbors so they will be aware of what is being reviewed and /or what is approved. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 — PAGE 7 Page 8 Commissioner Murray stated that he remembered approving two (2) such events at the Mansion. Vice - Chairman Kiefer said the concern of the residents is that one or two such events a year is one thing, while 12 or more per year might be another thing altogether. Mr. Saeki stated that the City does regulate and track the events being held at the various locations. Mr. Blumenthal stated that, if the Specific Plan is adopted, and if the owners wanted to convert it into a permanent banquet facility, the request would come before the Planning Commission for their consideration. Vice - Chairman Kiefer noted that many of the projects that desired a change of use would come before the Commission for approval, and such reviews will include available parking to be provided on -site. The Commissioners expressed their appreciation to the speakers for their involvement and for sharing their concerns. Vice - Chairman Kiefer added that the City is in transition, and having lost several auto dealers need to bring good businesses back into the City, in order to provide the services we continue to enjoy. It was moved by Commissioner Murray, seconded by Commissioner Lambros and passed by a vote of 3- 0 -1 -1, with Commissioners Lambros, Murray and Kiefer voting "Yes ", Commissioner Vasquez abstaining, and Commissioner Morales absent, to adopt Resolution Nos. 10 -2662, (Certifying the Final EIR), 10 -2663 (Amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan), 10 -2664 (Adopt the Specific Plan), and 10 -2665, (Repealing Section 9326 of Article IX of the Downey Municipal Code), recommending City Council approve the Downtown Plan, as presented. VIII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: 1) Brian Saeki, Community Development Director, acknowledged the staff members who had worked to bring the Specific Plan to fruition: David Blumenthal, Mark Sellheim and William Davis; in addition, the consultants working for Hogle- Ireland had also accomplished a job well -done. 2) Commissioner Murray asked that the property owner of the vacant parcel on Florence Avenue, east of Lakewood, be put on notice to clean up the lot; that the weeds were high and looked a mess. 3) Community Development Director Saeki thanked the Commission and the community for their involvement in forwarding a good plan to the City Council, noting that it would be presented to the Council at their September 28 meeting. He also shared with those present that the City would soon be kicking off this year's "Dine in Downey ", which will be called "Taste of Downey ". IX. OTHER BUSINESS: No other business was addressed. X. ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA: No future agenda items were addressed. XI. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, the Commission adjourned at 8:10 p.m., to October 6, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at Downey City Hall, 11111 Brookshire Avenue, Downey, Ca., 90241, in memory of Thomas Perfitt, father of Assistant Community Development Director, John Perfitt, who passed away last week.
