A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
GRANTING APPROVAL OF PERMISSIVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 1 (SUVA STREET AND FOSTER BRIDGE BOULEVARD)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and determine that an appli-
cation was duly filed by Balboa Construction Company, Inc., with respect to the
real property described as follows: Bounded on the north by Foster Bridge
Boulevard, Suva Street on the south, and Scout Avenue on the west; requesting a
Conditional Use Permit permitting a mini - warehouse storage facility; that a
public hearing was duly held before the City Planning Commission on March 18,
1981; and studies and investigation reveal the following facts:
(1) The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect
the purpose and intent of the Conprehensive Zoning Ordinance or
the City's General Plan or the public convenience or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood
thereof since design and use safeguards are being required to
protect the value, character and atmosphere of all adjacent
properties.
(2) The requested use will not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is
proposed to be located, since industrial uses exist to the west
and south, a flood control settling basin to the north and the
rear yards of residential uses to the east. The design of the
project gives adequate protection of the area.
(3) The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate
to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner
not detrimental to the particular area since the mini- storage
use will have a minimum of activity on the property.
(4) The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area since
mini- storage facilities, once occupied, generate a minimum of
traffic and, therefore, do not create traffic problems for the
area.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds and determines that facts exist
as required in Section 9166.12 of the Downey Municipal Code justifying the
granting of a Permissive Conditional Use Permit.
SECTION 3. Based upon the aforementioned findings, the City Council hereby
approves with respect to the property described in Section 1, above, a Permissive
Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions:
(1) This approval is based upon a revised plot plan dated February 19,
1981. Deviations or exceptions from the approved plot plan shall not
be permitted without the approval of the City Planning Commission.
(2) This approval is for a mini - storage warehouse facility, caretaker's
quarters, and one wall sign at the main entrance not exceeding 30
square feet, as shown on the approved plot plan and elevation.
-- (3) No permanent or portable signs shall be permitted in the planting or
driveway areas.
(4) There shall be no flags, banners or the like permitted on the property,
except for those indicating the initial opening of the business, and
they shall not exceed a 120 -day time period.
(5) All lights used to illuminate any portion of the buildings or open
spaces shall be so arranged so as to not reflect the light directly
on any adjacent properties or public right -of -way.
(6) A ten foot wide landscaped setback shall be provided parallel to Suva
Street and Foster Bridge Boulevard and shall be permanently maintained.
