A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DENYING THE APPEAL AND
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 99-29, A REQUEST
TO PERMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 94 -ROOM HOTEL AT 9066 FIRESTONE
BOULEVARD, ZONED LAKEWOOD/FIRESTONE SPECIFIC PLAN 91 -2
(APPLICANT: DOWNEY HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENT, LLC)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Downey does hereby find, determine
and declare that:
A. An application was filed by Downey Hospitality Development, LLC
(hereinafter *Applicant') requesting a conditional use permit to develop a
94- room, 49,280 square foot Holiday Inn Express hotel on the 2.0-acre site
at 9066 Firestone Boulevard, which is zoned LakewoodlFirestone Specific
Plan 91 -2.
B. The Planning Commission held a duly - noticed public hearing on December
1, 1999, and after fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts
and opinions offered at the aforesaid public hearing adopted Resolution
No. 2012, approving the conditional use permit application.
C. An appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission was filed on
December 3, 1999 by Frank A. Weiser on behalf of Mr. Arvin Parekh, who
is both the owner and operator of the Days Inn Stonewood motel, located
at 11102 Lakewood Boulevard, Downey, California.
D. The City Council held a duly - noticed public hearing on January 11, 2000
and after fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts and
opinions offered at the aforesaid public hearing, adopted Resolution No.
6317 denying the appeal and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -29,
SECTION. 2. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to
it at the public hearing, the City Council further finds, determines and declares
that:
A. That the requested conditional use permit, CUP No. 99-29 will not
adversely affect the purpose and intent of this Chapter or the City's
General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the area. Implementing CUP No. 99-29 will not
impact the people or the neighboring businesses that employ there:
Additionally, the hotel is consistent with the applicable General Plan
provisions. The environmental document prepared for the proposed
CUP, a mitigated negative declaration, concluded hotel construction
and its daily operations will not affect nearby uses. A concurrently -filed
application is pending before the City Council to add hotels /motels to
the list of conditionally permitted uses for the project site and the other
Resolution No. 6 317

properties that comprise Sector 5A of the Lakewood/Firestone Specific
Plan. This specific plan is consistent with the affected area's General
Commercial General Plan category. Moreover, the proposed hotel is
consistent with the site's General Commercial General Plan category.
11 is a regionally- oriented commercial business. Similarly, the General
Commercial category is designed to provided a a wide variety of goods
and services for the entire community and uses include large scale
projects.
S, That the application will not adversely affect adjoining land uses and
the growth and development of the area. The mitigated negative
declaration prepared for CUP No. 99 -29 concluded project
development and its day - day operations will not adversely impact
surrounding land uses.
C. That 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. The project site is irregularly shaped
and contains 2.58 acres, or 112,385 square feet, The narrowest
portion fronts on Firestone Boulevard, while the bulk of the site is in the
rear. Specifically, it has 115 feet of frontage along Firestone
Boulevard, while the width of the site in the rear is 417 feet. And the
depth of the site ranges from 215 feet of slightly more than 466 feet.
The area of the affected site and its dimensions describe a site that is
more than adequate in size to accommodate the proposed 94 - room
hotel, as well as the project's proposed restaurant. This is evident in
the fact that the development as proposed complies with all applicable
development standards.
D. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. Forecasts
show project- generated traffic will not impact the adjoining highway
system, with the exception of a nearby intersection. The previously -
noted mitigated negative declaration assessed the project's potential
traffic impacts. The environmental document indicated that except for
the Lakewood/Firestone intersection, project - generated traffic will not
impact the roadway network that will serve the project site. The impact
to the intersection, however, will be reduced to an acceptable
operating condition by implementing one of the environmental
document's recommended mitigation measures. The measure
involves adding a southbound dedicated right -turn lane to the
intersection's north leg.
E. In taking this action, the City Council has considered the effects of the
decision on the housing needs of the region in which the City is located
and balanced those needs against the public service needs of the City
residents and available fiscal and environmental resources and
determined that the use of this proposal would not have a negative
impact on, or be inconsistent with, the City's General Plan and past
Zoning practices pertaining to housing in the City. The proposed

project accompanying the subject application, developing a 94 -room
hotel is not expected to create a demand for additional housing. It is
anticipated the positions at the hotel will be filled by persons that
already reside within the City or its environs.
F. An Initial Study of Environmental Impacts and Mitigated Negative
Declaration were prepared for Conditional Use Permit No. 99-29 in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), state CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Downey's
Procedures for Implementing CEQA.
G. That the City of Downey had the Initial Study of Environmental Impacts
and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared; and although an
environmental consulting firm prepared the documents, they reflect the
independent judgement of the City of Downey. The Initial Study and
draft Mitigated Negative Declaration were made available for public
review and comment from November 10, 1999 to and including
November 29, 1999.
H. A public hearing was held by the City Council of the City of Downey on
January 11, 2000, at which time evidence was heard on the Initial
Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. At the hearing,
the City Council fully reviewed and carefully considered the Initial
r-. Study and Negative Declaration, together with any comments received
during the public review period.
1 In view of the foregoing, the City Council hereby certifies that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Conditional Use Permit
No. 99 -29 was prepared in accordance with CEQA. Therefore, the
City Council approves the Mitigated Negative Declaration along with its
findings, conclusions, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program that is setforth in Exhibit A and is attached hereto and
incorporated by reference.
SECTION 3. Based upon the findings set forth in Section 1 and 2 of this
Resolution, the City Council of the City of Downey hereby denies the appeal and
approves Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -29, subject to the Conditions of Approval
attached hereto as Exhibit S.

MITI 4TIgN MOMITQJt NG AND REPORTING P tOc A,
' PECiFIC PLAN AMENDMENP- 91-4A,
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that when a public agency completes an
environmental document which includes measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects,
the public agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program. This requirement ensures that
environmental impacts found to be significant will be mitigated. The reporting or monitoring program must
be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6).
In compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the attached MITIGATION MONITORING
AND REPORTING CHECKLIST, has been prepared for the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Restaurant Project
at 9066 Firestone Boulevard. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist is intended to provide
verification that all applicable Conditions of Approval relative to significant environmental impacts are
monitored and reported. Monitoring will include: 1) verification that each mitigation measure has been
implemented; 2) recordation of the actions taken to implement each mitigation; and 3) retention of records
in the Holiday inn Express Hotel and Restaurant project file.
his Mitigation Monitoring Program delineates responsibilities for monitoring the project, but also allows
le City of Downey flexibility and discretion in determining how best to monitor implementation.
Monitoring procedures will vary according to the type of mitigation measure. Adequate monitoring consists
of demonstrating that monitoring procedures took peace and that mitigation measures were implemented.
Reporting consists of establishing a record that a mitigation measure is being implemented, and generally
involves the following steps:
• The City of Downey distributes reporting forms to the appropriate agencies or City departments or
employs the City's existing reporting process for verification of compliance.
• Responsible entities verify compliance by signing the monitoring and reporting form and /or
documenting compliance using their own internal procedures when monitoring is triggered.
• Responsible parties provide the City of Downey with verification that monitoring has been conducted
and ensure, as applicable, that mitigation measures have been implemented.
Minor changes to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, if required, would be made in
accordance with CEQA and would be permitted after further review and approval by the City of Downey.
Such changes could include reassignment of monitoring and reporting responsibilities and/or program
redesign to make any appropriate improvements. No change will be permitted unless the Mitigation
,.kIonitoring and Reporting Program continues to satisfy the requirements of Public Resources Code Section
