Vice - Chairman Kiefer opened the public hearing for PLN -10- 08053. Ms. Donahue affirmed proof of
publication.
Associate Planner, Jessica Flores, noted a correction on the Planning Commission agenda, from
Conditional Use Permit 99 -58, Revision "B ", to Revision " of Conditional Use Permit No. 95 -63
She presented staff's report and accompanying PowerPoint exhibits, explaining that the applicant
wished to lease Unit A but is unable to do so because the two buildings are tied together by past
approvals, which permitted the care of 130 children within the two buildings. The applicant is
reducing the number of children permitted within the program to 100 and only leasing one building.
She noted that due to the reduction, the parking requirements will also be modified. Ms. Flores
informed the Commission that the applicant had a tenant for the vacant building, but cannot lease it
until this conditional use permit is modified and unties the buildings.
Mr. Ernie Ybarra, representing the property owner, Mike Capalbo, addressed the Commission. After
conferring with Mr. Capalbo, he stated that they accepted the conditions of approval. In addition, Mr.
Ybarra informed the Commission that the applicant has secured a potential tenant for the Unit A
building who is intending to perform laser cosmetic surgery, an allowed medical office use.
Vice - Chairman Kiefer affirmed that no correspondence had been received in regards to this matter. In
addition, no persons came forward upon the Vice - Chairman's invitation.
Staff indicated their recommendation is for approval, as the attached Resolution reflects.
There being no comments regarding staffs recommendation, the public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commissioners stated that the request was straight - forward and easy to support since the
parameters of the business had been modified (number of students reduced and only one of the buildings
now utilized), and the condition was no longer appropriate to maintain. In addition, no negative
consequences were addressed.
It was moved by Commissioner Lambros, seconded by Commissioner Vasquez and passed by a full vote
of those present (4 -0 -1), with Chairman Morales absent, to adopt Resolution No. 10 -2660, approving PLN -
10- 08053, Conditional Use Permit No. 95 -63, Revision "C ", to reduce the maximum number of children
permitted at the existing daycare /nursery from 150 to 100 and to limit the daycare /nursery activity to Unit

the City's Ordinance.

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.
The applicant, Maria Johnson, described her vision of the proposed facility, which includes a non -
intimidating, relaxed atmosphere, free from the feel of competition. 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. Tom Papoulias, of BRC Advisors, broker of record for Myrtle Plaza addressed the Commission,
and stated that they looked forward to Ms. Johnson opening her fitness studio /beauty salon,
which he believed would bring a positive attitude and activity to the plaza.
2. Carla Sandoval, 12640 Woods Avenue, Norwalk, noted that she will be working with Maria
(Johnson) and shared that some of the families she has talked to about the program have
responded very positively. She described their goal is to improve one's inner health and outer
appearance; and her specialty is hair.
No persons spoke in opposition.
Vice - Chairman Kiefer closed the public hearing
Commission comments:
Commissioner Lambros stated that it sounds to her like Ms. Johnson has the background and
enthusiasm for this business and she hoped for her success.
Commissioner Vasquez stated his affirmation and that he had no further comments.
Commissioner Murray also provided a positive position.
Vice - Chairman Kiefer stated that the business plan presented by Ms. Johnson was well - planned and
would appear to be a good match and a positive move.
It was moved by Commissioner Murray, seconded by Commissioner Lambros and passed by a vote
of 4 -0 -1, with Chairman Morales absent, to adopt Resolution No. 2661, approving PLN -10- 08058,

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.

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 ".
