Resolution No. 15 -2953
Downey Planning Commission
Site Plan Review
A. That the site plan is consistent with the goals and policies embodied in the
General Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the
Council. Those goals and policies of the Downey General Plan (Vision 2025) are
addressed as follows: Goal 2.5 of the Circulation Element is, "Address the
impacts from the lack of parking," while Policy 2.5.1 seeks to provide for adequate
parking to meet parking demands. The proposed site and circulation plans, in
addition to the submitted off -site parking agreement, provide all required parking
spaces for the subject site's conversion from an office to a restaurant use. Goal
8.1 of the Design Element is to "Promote quality design for new, expanded and
remodeled construction" and Policy 8.1.1 seeks to promote architectural design of
the highest quality. The applicant proposes to continue the existing building's
architecture throughout the minor alterations to the building, which follows a clean
and straight edge form. Goal 9.1 of the General Plan is "Attract and retain
businesses" and Program 9.1.1.5 seeks to continue the revitalization of
commercial and industrial corridors. The proposed reuse of the existing office
building is attracting a new restaurant and continues the revitalization efforts of
the Downtown Downey area.
B. That the proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and
objectives of this article and the zone in which the site is located. PLN -15-
00159 proposes to convert an existing 4,169 sq. ft. office building (which includes
a 192 sq. ft. mezzanine), into a restaurant (Cielo Restaurant & Lounge), with an
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 47 (On -Sale General, Eating Place)
license. The proposed conversion also includes the addition of a new 2,653 sq. ft.
roof -top bar /lounge area, a 408 sq. ft. front outdoor dining area, and a 914 sq. ft.
rear outdoor dining area. The subject property is zoned Downtown Downey
Specific Plan (DDSP) — Downtown Core. The DDSP - Downtown Core is intended
to create a vibrant, pedestrian- oriented downtown with a mix of uses with unique
walkable shopping, dining, and living experience. The project PLN -15 -00159
proposes is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of the DDSP -
Downtown Core for the following reasons: the proposed restaurant and lounge is
a use that is appropriate for the zoning designation; the architectural design of the
proposed minimal additions to the building will complement the existing building
and area, as well as incorporate exterior building materials that are commonly
used for commercial construction and on the existing building; and the proposed
restaurant and lounge will create an attractive building and contribute to the
revitalization of the downtown area.
C. That 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 building changes that PLN -15-
00159 proposes, follow the existing commercial architectural style. The project
proposes to continue the existing features of the existing building in the minor
additions to the restaurant. Yellow brick veneer and oatmeal - colored stucco, to
match existing materials, will be continued into the proposed roof -top screening,
bar /service and restroom walls as demonstrated on the proposed west elevation
and roof elevations. The proposed open trellis patios are to be finished in the
same oatmeal (off- white) color and are to architecturally match the existing first

floor, front patio cover. The roof -top lounge area also includes clear glass - panels
for safety and to allow patron visibility onto Downey Avenue.
The ground floor is proposed to be opened -up with several new, smoked -glass
windows and a doorway. Additionally, a faux window to match the new windows is
proposed on the west elevation. Additionally, two new stairways to the roof -top
lounge are proposed at the east elevation of the building. These stairways are
also to be finished in an oatmeal paint to match the existing building's colors.
Anodized bronze light fixtures are proposed at the west, south and east
elevations. The proposed front, 408 sq. ft. outdoor dining area is to be enclosed
by a 42 inch. anodized bronze wrought iron fence. The proposed rear, 914 sq. ft.
outdoor dining area, is to be enclosed by an existing 5.5 ft. off - white, concrete
fence to the south, and a new 6 ft. wrought iron fence with landscaping to the
east.
Due to the proposed reuse of an existing building, the applicant is not required to
provide new landscaping on -site, as such; existing landscape planters located to
the south of the property will remain. New ivy is proposed adjacent to the east
wrought iron fence that is to enclose the rear outdoor seating area. Since the
applicant did not define the type of ivy that is to be used on this fence, staff has
incorporated a condition of approval requiring Macfadyena unguis cati, also
known as Cat's Claw, be used. As such, the proposal, with the addition of this
condition of approval, will integrate harmoniously and enhance the character and
design of the site and the immediate downtown neighborhood.
D. That 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
conversion of the subject site from an office use to a restaurant increases the
required parking for the site from 12 parking spaces to 41 spaces. The applicant
proposes to provide the remaining 29 required parking spaces both on -site and off-
site. 13 on -site parking spaces are to be located on the east/rear side of the subject
site. These spaces are proposed as tandem, valet -size spaces, being that the
applicant is concurrently filing a CUP for valet - parking. These spaces are to be
accessible via an adjacent public driveway and will be parked by valet attendants
only, with the exception of one required ADA parking space as shown on the
proposed site plan. Additionally, 28 off -site parking spaces, of which only 16 are
required parking spaces for the restaurant, are proposed to be leased from Downey
United Methodist Church located at 10801 Downey Avenue. As such, the on -site
and off -site parking spaces total 41 parking spaces and all required parking is being
met. Additionally, a circulation plan has been considered for the off -site and valet
parking spaces and conditions of approval have been incorporated to mitigate any
potential issues with the off -site valet station, drop- off /pick -up area, off -site valet
parking and circulation plan.
E. That the proposed development will improve the community appearance by
preventing extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in
alterations of facilities. The development PLN -15 -00159 proposes reuses and
converts an existing 4,169 sq. ft. office building, into a restaurant. The proposed
conversion also includes the addition of a new 2,653 sq. ft. roof -top bar /lounge

area, a 408 sq. ft. front outdoor dining area, and a 914 sq. ft. rear outdoor dining
area. Due to the reuse of the existing building and continuity of the architecture, the
proposed development will improve the community appearance without permitting
extreme dissimilarity or monotony in the alterations of building.
F. That 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. PLN -15 -00159 proposes to upgrade the subject site by
repurposing an existing 4,169 sq. ft. office building, into a restaurant. This proposal
will improve property values in the vicinity, improve the streetscape of Downey
Avenue, and result in a structure that complies with current Building and Fire Code
regulations for structural integrity, and building and fire safety. It will result in an
attractive project and should become an impetus for neighboring commercial
property reuse and revitalization.
G. That 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. The
Conditions of Approval for PLN -15 -00159 will include a condition stating that the
design features will incorporate graffiti resistant materials.
Conditional Use Permit
A. That the requested conditional use permit 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
neighborhood thereof. The requested conditional use permit for off -site
parking, valet parking, outdoor dining, and live entertainment will not adversely
affect the purpose and intent of the Downey Municipal Code, or the public
convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood nearby because the proposed use is compatible with the
development patterns in the area, it is an appropriate use of land in the DDSP —
Downtown Core zone, the existing size and shape of the subject property meet
the City's development standards for the DDSP area, the use satisfies the
parking requirements for a restaurant pursuant to the approval of this CUP, and it
provides appropriate circulation and vehicular access.
The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of MU (Mixed Use),
which is being implemented by the DDSP — Downtown Core zone. The DDSP -
Downtown Core is intended to create a vibrant, pedestrian- oriented downtown
with a mix of uses with unique walkable shopping, dining, and living experience.
The project PLN -15 -00159 proposes is in accordance with the purposes and
objectives of the DDSP - Downtown Core for the following reasons: the proposed
restaurant and lounge is a use that is appropriate for the zoning designation; the
architectural design of the proposed building's minimal additions will complement
the existing building and area, as well as incorporate exterior building materials
that are commonly used for commercial construction and on the existing building;
and the proposed restaurant and lounge, will create an attractive building and
contribute to the revitalization of the downtown area. Furthermore, the combined
goals and policies of the General Plan are to ensure the City is developed in a
harmonious manner that minimizes impacts to the public and environment.

Approval of this project will address on -site and off -site parking, valet and
circulation issues, as well as live entertainment, thus making the project more
harmonious with the surrounding uses, being that conditions of approval have
been incorporated so as to avoid impacts to surrounding properties.
B. That 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 proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjoining
land uses since the proposed use conforms to its DDSP - Downtown Core
development standards and other uses in the vicinity currently exist with similar
uses. Nevertheless, conditions of approval have been incorporated to mitigate
any potential issues related to the approval of this conditional use permit.
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 size and shape of the subject property is generally
adequate to allow for the reuse of the existing office building into a restaurant and
lounge, because the project site exceeds the required minimum 2,500 square foot
lot size for a development in the DDSP area:

use, and it is staffs opinion that the surrounding streets and highways in the area
have sufficient capacity to accommodate the increase in traffic that the use will
generate. Additionally, the proposal has taken into consideration and delineated a

incorporated to mitigate any potential issues related to the approval of this
conditional use permit.
