Community Development Director Cutts presented the staff report as set
forth in Agenda Memo dated May 10, 1988, entitled "Appeal of Zone Variance #550-
13113 Lakewood Boulevard, Cloverleaf Group." He also presented a brief slide
presentation which showed the property site at various angles, buildings around
the property, and the first site plan.
City Clerk Young referenced a letter from Mrs. Virginia Webb, 13111 Deming
Ave., indicating opposition to the Zone Variance. It was moved by Council
Member Cormack to receive and file this correspondence. Hearing no objections,
so ordered.
Mayor Boggs asked the applicant to come forward and present his case.
Mr. Brian Brandmeyer, attorney for the Cloverleaf Group, 10841 Paramount
Blvd., presented to Council copies of the proposed construction and
architectural rendering of the site. He further discussed there had been
additional meetings with the Planning Department to attempt to narrow or resolve
the nine space parking difference; Applicant has offered to make one of the fast
food restaurtants take out only which would reduce parking requirements by 5.8
or 5.9 spaces; Applicant has moved the proposed ice cream/yogurt bay and
development which saves two spaces; advised they are 2.5 spaces short at the
present time, and discussed this would be an attractive development for south
Downey and within walking distance for people in the area. Mr. Brandmeyer
mentioned his client had a peitition signed by 251 residents who are in favor of
this development. He further discussed the five conditions essential for a zone
variance and felt the Applicant was qualified.
Mr. Cutts as well as City Attorney Thorson clarified for Council that
although the variance request is different than what was originally requested
from the Planning Commission, it does not have to go back before the Commission.
Mr. Todd Roberts, Cloverleaf Group, 1801 Century Park East, Los Angeles,
showed Council photographs taken of the proposed business site and parking
conditions in the area on a weekday at Noon.
Mayor Boggs called for those in the audience who wished to speak in favor

need of a small shopping center for residents and their children.
Mayor Boggs called for those in the audience who wished to speak in
opposition to the Zone Variance
Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., felt this matter should go back
before the Planning Commission because of changes in the original Zone Variance
request. He also said that Mr. Brandmeyer, attorney for the Applicant, should
follow the Downey Municipal Code.
Mr. Charles Horner, 13241 Deming Ave., is opposed to the Zone Variance
because traffic and parking are already problems in the area. He further said
that several semi trucks pass through this area a day from the Tahitian Village.
Mayor Boggs called for a a rebuttal from the Applicant.
Mr. Brian Brandmeyer, attorney for the Cloverleaf Group, stated that a
neighborhood center would lessen the safety hazard for children in this area.
It was moved by Council Member Santangelo, seconded by Council Member Paul,
and carried 4-0 (Council Member Barb abstaining) that the Public Hearing be
closed.
Mr. Cutts discussed the following: Parking space shortage is currently
three spaces; Applicant has not proved there are findings for hardship or
unusual circumstances required for the Zone Variance; project can still go
forward without the variance; many C-2 properties are located next to
neighborhood/residential properties; off -site parking spaces cannot be relied
on; and business center location next to Freeway will increase amount of traffic
flow on Lakewood Boulevard.
Council Minutes 5/10/88 -2-
Council discussed: Types of property around proposed business center -
record shop, lawnmower shop, and residential property; residential property is
in a commercial zone; two tentative tenants (Circle K and donut shop) for
proposed business center; tenants may be other then food -type uses;
approximately 16 curb side parking places available; no parking restrictions on
street; need for business development in South Downey; developer wwill separate
business from residential property with a block wall and landscaping so there
will be no spillover traffic on Deming Avenue; developer will dedicate 897
square feet of the property to the City in order to allow a realignment of
Gardendale.
Council Member Cormack voiced opposition to a Zone Variance requiring a
reduction in parking spaces and felt that parking requirements should be
increased in the City, not decreased.
City Attorney Thorson commented 1) if Council adopts Resolution for Denial,
that staff comments in the Staff Report be incorporated into the findings; and
2) if Council approves the project, staff will need to prepare a Resolution for
approval at the next meeting.
It was moved by Council Member Cormack, seconded by Mayor Boggs, and failed
1-3 (Council Members Santangelo, Paul, and Boggs voting no; Council Member Barb
abstaining) to approve staff recommendation to deny Zone Variance No. 550.
It was moved by Council Member Santangelo, seconded by Council Member Paul,
