adopted Resolution No. 525 granting Conditional Use Permit No. 133
for a two - story, 124 -room residential care home for the aged,
licensed by the California State Department of Social Welfare with
off - street parking for 28 automobiles located at 11500 Dolan Avenue
in the City of Downey (hereinafter "senior citizen retirement
facility ").
2. In addition to other conditions of approval of Conditional Use
Permit No. 133, Resolution No. 525 incorporated by reference the
conditions of approval of Zone Variance No. 202 which was granted on
March 17, 1982, to allow a reduction in off - street parking require-
ments and modification to setback requirements for the senior
citizen retirement facility.
3. On July 17, 1985, the City Planning Staff was advised of the
operation of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center at the
senior citizen retirement facility located at 11500 Dolan Avenue.
4. Subsequent to July 17, 1985, the City sent notice to the owners and
operators of the senior citizen retirement facility to cease
operation of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center by August
23, 1985.
5. . On August 24, 1985, the Planning Commission of the City of Downey,
by minute action, directed the City Planning Staff to set the
revocation hearing for revocation of Conditional Use Permit No. 133
for September 18, 1985 due to the fact that the owners and operators
of the senior citizen retirement facility had failed to cease, or
cause to be ceased, the operation of the alcohol and drug
rehabilitation center.
6. On September 18, 1985, the duly noticed public hearing for the
revocation of Conditional Use Permit No. 133 was held before the
Planning Commission and continued from time to time to and including
April 2, 1986. During said public hearing, the Planning Commission
received written and oral evidence from the owners and operators of
the senior citizen retirement facility, from the operators of the
alcohol and drug rehabilitation center and from other members of the
public both in opposition to, and in favor of, the revocation of
Conditional Use Permit No. 133.
7. On October 16, 1985, a duly noticed public hearing was held to
consider an application for Conditional Use Permit No. 219 to allow
the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center to operate at 11500 Dolan
Avenue, and to consider an application for Variance No. 407 for a
further reduction of off - street parking requirements as they would
apply to the alcohol and drug rehabilitation . center use at said
location.
8. On November 6, 1985, at the conclusion of the public hearing on
Conditional Use Permit No. 219, the Planning Commission, having
received and considered evidence both in favor of, and in opposition
to, said Conditional Use Permit, adopted Resolution No. 892 denying
Conditional Use Permit No. 219.
9. On November 20, 1985, at the conclusion of the public hearing on
Variance No. 407, the Planning Commission, having received and
considered evidence both in favor of and in opposition to Variance
No. 407, adopted Resolution No. 891 approving Variance No. 407.

10. Subsequent to November 6, 1985, the applicants for Conditional Use
Permit No. 219 appealed the decision of the Planning Commission to
the City Council. After a duly noticed public hearing on said
appeal on February 4, 1986, the Downey City Council by Resolution
No. 4685, upheld the Planning Commission decision denying
Conditional Use Permit No. 219.
11. Notwithstanding the City Council action on February 4, 1986,
affirming the action of the Planning Commission in denying
Conditional Use Permit No. 219, the owners and operators of the
senior citizen retirement facility have continuously and openly
allowed such facility to be used for the operation of an alcohol and
drug rehabilitation center.
12. The use of the senior citizen retirement facility for the operation
of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is contrary to the
terms and conditions of Conditional Use Permit No. 133 in that said
permit was approved solely for the use of the property located at
11500 Dolan Avenue as a 124 -room senior citizen retirment facility.
13. Pursuant to Section 9168.06 (b) (4), a Conditional Use Permit may be
revoked by a majority vote of the City Council upon a finding that
the use of the subject property is being conducted in violation of
the terms and conditions of the Conditional Use Permit.
14. During the appeal hearing on the revocation of Conditional Use
Permit No. 133 at the regular City Council meeting of May 13, 1986,
and based upon the testimony and evidence presented the Council
finds and modifies the decision of the Planning Commission to allow
a three month time period or until August 11, 1986, before the
action of revocation becomes effective on Conditional Use Permit No.
133, as it involves the operation of a senior citizen facility
located at 11500 Dolan Avenue.
SECTION 2. Based upon findings as set forth in Section 1 above, the City
Council hereby revokes Conditional Use Permit No. 133 for a senior citizen
retirement facility located at 11500 Dolan Avenue in the City of Downey. This
revocation shall become effective on August 11, 1986; provided, however, that
if the operation of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center at said senior
citizen retirement facility ceases on or before August 11, 1986, this
revocation shall not become effective and shall be null and void.
SECTION 3. If the operation of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center at
the senior citizen retirement facility and the operation of the senior citizen
retirement facility have not ceased by August 11, 1986, the Planning Staff is
hereby directed to forward the matter of the operation of said uses at 11500
Dolan Avenue to the City Prosecutor's Office for appropriate legal action on
the ground that said uses are operating at 11500 Dolan Avenue without a valid
permit from the City of Downey and are therefore in violation of the Downey
Municipal Code.
SECTION 4. No later than fifteen (15) days after the effective date of this
Resolution, the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center, through its legal
counsel, shall execute and submit an indemnity agreement to the City of Downey
in a form approved by the City Attorney for the City of Downey, stating that
the owners and operators of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center agree
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Downey and its elected and
appointed boards, commissions, officers, employees and agents from and against
any and all damages to property or injuries to or death of any person or
persons, including property and employees of the City of Downey, and any and
all claims, demands, suits, actions, or proceedings therefor, resulting from
or arising out of any and all acts, errors, or omissions of the alcohol and
drug rehabilitation center or any of its agents, employees, officers, patients
or guests during the period in which the alcohol and drug rehabilitation
center is operating in the senior citizen retirement facility located at 11500
Dolan Avenue in the City of Downey.
