AND AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8613
FIRESTONE BLVD, ZONED C-3 (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A. June 17, 2013, the applicant (4G Development and Consulting) submitted the request for
a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit (PLN-13-00147) requesting to construct a
4,711 s.f. fast food restaurant with a drive-thru lane and an outdoor dining area on the
subject site. On July 8, 2013, the applicant submitted an application for Tentative Parcel
Map No. 72340 (PLN-13-00158) application requesting to subdivide the 2.26-acre parcel
into two lots. The applications were deemed incomplete on July 16, 2013 due to missing
information on the project plans; and
B. On August 8, 2013, the applicant submitted the final information need for the request; as
such, staff deemed the application complete on August 9, 2013.; and,
C. On September 5, 2013, notice of the pending application published in the Downey Patriot
and mailed to all property owners within 500' of the subject site; and,
D. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on September 18, 2013, and
after fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions offered at the
aforesaid public hearing adopted this resolution.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares the
environmental impact of the proposed development has been reviewed and has been found to be
in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt
from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects).
SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said
public hearings regarding the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission further finds,
determines and declares that:
1. The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of
the zoning code or the City's General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof. The subject site has a General
Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central Business
District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide commercial and
service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and regional needs.
The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick service eating
establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a policy of the
taw General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area for people to
Resolution No. 13-2846
Downey Planning Commission
acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General Plan Program
1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the Firestone
Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it contributes to
achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone Blvd. It is also
a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of properties." The
proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will serve to upgrade all
the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape.
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. The subject site is within a
fully developed area of the City, with little to no vacant properties in the immediate area.
More specifically, the surrounding properties are improved with either Downey High
School or existing commercial developments. The proposed development is designed in
a manner that will not impact the ability of the surrounding properties to grow and/or
develop. Notwithstanding this, several conditions of approval have been included with this
approval, which will serve to mitigate any potential impacts on the neighboring properties.
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. The
subject site is an approximate 2.26-acre irregular shaped lot that is currently unimproved.
The proposed restaurant is located near the southwest corner of the site with sufficient
parking, setbacks, drive-thru queuing, and landscaping to meet or exceed all of the code
requirements. This can be exemplified by the applicant providing queuing space for 20
vehicles in the drive-thru lane, instead of the eight required by the Downey Municipal
Code. Since the applicant is meeting all code requirements and has proposed a site
layout the show care to vehicle and pedestrian circulation that the site has adequate size
and shape to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental
to the particular area.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways in the area. The subject site is accessed from Firestone Blvd, a
primary arterial roadway within the City. Based on the most recent traffic counts conducted
for the area, there are approximately 40,000 vehicles that travel in both directions each day
on this portion of Firestone Blvd. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the request and
has noted that minimal increases in the number of vehicles trips may be anticipated.
However, this increase is insignificant compared to the amount of pass through traffic (traffic
that would be traversing Firestone anyways). Based on this determination, it is determined
that Firestone Blvd has sufficient capacity to absorb the additional traffic without impacting
the level of service.
SECTION 4. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said
public hearings regarding the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission further finds,
determines and declares that:
1. The site plan is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General Plan and
other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. The subject site has a
General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central
Business District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide
commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and
regional needs. The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick
service eating establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a

policy of the General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area
for people to acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General
Plan Program 1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the
Firestone Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it
contributes to achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone
Blvd. It is also a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of
properties." The proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will
serve to upgrade all the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape.
2. The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of Article IX
and the zone in which the site is located. One of the purposes of the zoning code is to
allow development of properties, while avoiding impacts of the adjoining area. The
subject site is within the C-3 (Central Business District) zone, which has the intent to
provide commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community
and regional needs. The proposed project meets both of these goals by providing a
restaurant that can have has been designed in a manner that will enhance the streetscape
and provide quick food service to those who live, work, and travel through the area.
3. The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including architecture and
landscaping, will integrate harmoniously and enhance the character and design of the site,
the immediate neighborhood, and the surrounding areas of the City. The site is currently
vacant and void of landscaping. The applicant's proposal will include the construction of a
new restaurant with a contemporary architectural style, which includes the use of multi-
colored stucco on the facades and a brick veneer. Furthermore, the applicant is
proposing to utilize a variety of landscaping that will give the site a pleasant visual
appearance. The combination of the landscaping and architectural style will serve to
enhance the site and the entire area. The proposed architecture will integrate with the
existing architecture of other buildings in the area.
4. The site plan and location of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries,
and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the
functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation,
and the visual effects of the development from the view of the public streets. The
proposed project will allow two restaurants at the subject site, one of which will have a
drive-thru lane. This drive-thru lane has been located in a manner such that pedestrians
will not need to traverse it to get to the building. Furthermore, the proposal exceeds all
requirements for parking and on site landscaping, which has been designed to facilitate
movement on the site and minimize points of conflict.
5. The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing
extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities. In
the City of Downey, there are a virtual plethora of architectural styles, particularly in this
area. The proposed architecture is a contemporary architectural style, which includes the
use of multi-colored stucco on the facades and a brick veneer. After a review of other
buildings in the area, it has been noted that this style is not prevalent in the area.
Nevertheless, the finished materials and colors being proposed by the applicant will allow
the buildings to blend nicely with the architectural styles of the other buildings.
6. The site plan and design considerations shall tend to upgrade property in the immediate
neighborhood and surrounding areas with an accompanying betterment of conditions
`` affecting the public health, safety, comfort, and welfare. The subject site is currently

Downey Planning Commission
vacant and void of landscaping. The project will upgrade the property of the immediate
area. Furthermore, the use of large canopy trees and block walls along the property lines
will provide proper screening for the adjoining uses. Based on this, the project will
upgrade the property and promote the public health, safety, and welfare of those who
work or reside in the area.
7. The proposed development's site plan and its design features will include graffiti resistant
features and materials in accordance with the requirements of Section 4960 of Chapter 10
of Article IV of this Code. As part of this project several conditions of approval have been
included to require the use of graffiti resistant materials in the construction of the building.
Should any graffiti appear on the site, an additional condition of approval has been
included to have the applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application.
SECTION 5. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said
public hearings regarding the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission further finds,
determines and declares that:
1. That the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan. The subject site has a
General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central
Business District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide
commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and
regional needs. The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick
service eating establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a
policy of the General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area
for people to acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General
Plan Program 1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the
Firestone Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it
contributes to achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone
Blvd. It is also a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of
properties." The proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will
serve to upgrade all the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape.
2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The proposed
project will consist of subdividing a lot into two parcels and constructing a 4,711 square
foot fast food restaurant, which will have a drive-thru lane and an outdoor seating area.
Additionally, the applicant is proposing to have a second building pad for the future
construction of a second restaurant. Other site improvements include the parking and
landscape areas, as well as trash enclosures. The applicant meets or exceeds all
development standards. Further review shows that each lot can individually meet their
respective development standards. Since after the proposed subdivision each lot can
individually meet its respective development standards, the site is suitable for the type and
density of development.
3. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems. The subject site is currently vacant and void of landscaping. The
proposed project will provide new restaurants and over 21,000 s.f. of landscaping area.
These types of development are not typically associated with causing a serious public
health problem. Since the proposed development is surrounded by non-residential uses,
operation of the site will not result in impacts. Should any unforeseen impacts occur, the
use of large canopy trees and block walls along the property lines will provide proper

Downey Planning Commission
screening for the adjoining uses. Furthermore, the overall site has been designed to
prevent potential safety issues.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within
the proposed subdivision. The existing site was formerly used by the local telephone
company as an office. The proposed parcel map and title report was reviewed, in which
the only public easement that was found was for power lines, which will be preserved.
Nevertheless, a condition of approval that grants reciprocal parking and access across
both sites has been added to ensure proper public access is kept in the future.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their
habitat. The existing site is vacant, with no landscaping. There are no known areas
within the City that host wildlife or their habitat, most particularly species identified as a
candidate, sensitive, or special status species.
SECTION 6. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 5 of this Resolution,
the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves tentative Parcel Map No. 72340
(PLN-13-00158) and the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review (PLN-13-00147), subject
to conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit A, which are necessary to preserve the
health, safety and general welfare of the community and enable the Planning Commission to
make the findings set forth in the previous sections. The conditions are fair and reasonable for
the accomplishment of these purposes.
SECTION 7. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of September, 2013.
