MANUFACTURING
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce the following titled ordinance:
The subject property is located on east side of Woodruff Avenue, south of Washburn Road
and north of Imperial Highway. The site has an area of 111,030 square feet and is currently
developed with six (6), one-story buildings, no landscaping and 92 parking spaces. The subject
site is zoned P -B (Parking Buffer) for 20 feet along the front property line, adjacent to Woodruff
Avenue. Then the property is zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing) for 230 feet. The M-2 (General
Manufacturing) zone takes up the rear of the subject site for approximately 101 feet. The subject
site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Manufacturing. On April 11, 2017,
the applicant submitted applications for a Zone Change and a Site Plan Review requesting to
change the zone for a portion of the property from P -B (Parking Buffer) to M-1 (Light
Manufacturing) and for the proposed development of a one-story industrial building, and a
fagade modification for the existing building located to the south-western portion of the property.
The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on December 6, 2017, to
consider the proposed Zone Change and Site Plan Review, at the conclusion of which the
Planning Commission approved the Site Plan Review and adopted Resolution No. 17-3040, by
a 5-0 vote, and recommended approval of the Zone Change to the City Council.
On January 11, 2018, notice of the pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot.
Additionally, the notice was mailed to all property owners within 500' of the subject site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a one-story 17,656 -square -foot industrial office building
to house multiple industrial and manufacturing uses. The architecture of the new building is
modern in design and includes a glass door and window at the entrance off Woodruff Avenue.
The building's placement and low -profile in relation to Woodruff Avenue creates a more
ZONE CHANGE

welcoming and less industrial appearance for this property. Along with the construction of the
new building, the existing 1,067 square -foot, one-story building that is located in the south-west
corner of the property will undergo a fagade modification to match the architectural style of the
new building.
Proposed view from Woodruff Avenue
The subject site currently has three zones, as illustrated below.
Zoning Map of Subject Site
The project is presently zoned P -B (Parking Buffer), M-1 (Light Manufacturing), and M-2
(Manufacturing) with a General Plan Land Use designation of General Manufacturing. In 2008,
the P -B zone was eliminated, however, in recognition of this action, properties with the P -B

zoning designation are rezoned when the Planning Commission considers other discretionary
actions on said properties. The following graphic shows the applicant's requested change to the
Zoning Map.
Proposed Zoning Map
The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Manufacturing. The purpose of
the General Plan is to guide the long-term growth of the City. In cases where the zoning does
not comply with the General Plan, it is advisable to rezone the property in order to bring it into
consistency with the General Plan. In discussing the Manufacturing designation, the General
Plan states,
The Manufacturing -designation is intended for manufacturing, wholesaling, and other
industrial land uses. The corresponding zone for this designation is M -1/M-2,
Light/General Manufacturing. Since uses consistent with the Manufacturing designation
have potential for creating traffic, noise, odor, vibration and other impacts, areas
designated Manufacturing should be separated from other land uses by a major natural
or physical barrier and screen. The intensity of the Manufacturing designation should
not exceed a floor area ratio of 0.6:1.
Should the City Council approve the request, the City would bring the zoning of this site into
compliance with the General Plan designation.
The complete analysis of the project and the required findings are contained in the attached
Planning Commission Staff Report. During the Planning Commission public hearing, the
applicant addressed the Planning Commission. One person spoke in favor of the request. At
the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 17-3040,
thereby recommending the City Council approve the Zone Change. In addition to this
recommendation, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan Review, allowing the

WHEREAS, on April 11, 2017, the applicant submitted a request for a Zone Change and
Site Plan Review. After a complete review of the submitted material, staff deemed the
application incomplete on May 11, 2017 due to missing material within the application packet;
and
WHEREAS, on September 25, 2017, the applicant submitted the remaining information
needed to process the application. Accordingly, staff deemed the request complete on October
12, 2017; and
WHEREAS, on December 6 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing. After fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions
offeredatthe aforesaid public hearing adopted P.C. Resolution No. 17-3040, thereby
recommending the City Council approve the proposed zone change; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on January 23, 2018, to
fully consider all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions regarding the amendment to
the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, determines and declares that the requested Zone
Change has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Upon completion of this review, it has been determined that this request is
categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32 -1n-fill
Developments) based on the fact project site is less than 5 acres, within an urban area, fully
served by public utilities, and does not serve as protected habitat; and
WHEREAS, having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said
public hearing, the City Council further finds, determines and declares that:
That the zone change is necessary and desirable for the development of the community
in harmony with the objectives of the General Plan and this chapter and is in the interest
of furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The zone change will
rezone a portion of the property to M-1 zone. This is consistent with the other properties
along Woodruff Avenue, which are also in the M-1/ M-2 zone. Notwithstanding this, the
zone change maintains the goal of the General Plan land use designation for General
Manufacturing because the applicable zone to this designation is M-1 and M-2.
Furthermore, General Plan Program 1.3.2.3 encourages the change of the zoning of
properties where inconsistent with General Plan land use designations. The P -B zone is
obsolete; therefore its elimination is necessary in order to comply with the General Plan.
2. That the zone change will be compatible and complementary to existing conditions and
adjoining property in the surrounding area. The subject site is completely surrounded by
other M-1 and M-2 zoned properties and is adjacent to similar manufacturing uses. The
elimination of the P -B zone will remain consistent with the adjoining properties.

3. That the site is adequate in size to accommodate the uses permitted in the zone
requested and that all applicable property development standards can be complied with.
The subject site has a lot area of 111,030 square feet. The minimum lot size required for
the M-1 zone is 20,000 square feet and the M-2 zone is 40,000 square feet. The subject
site exceeds the minimum required lot size for both of these zones. The subject site is
more than adequate in size to accommodate the uses allowed in the underlying zone.
Furthermore, the proposed project complies with all applicable development standards.
4. That the site properly relates to streets and highways designed and fully improved to
carry the type and quantity of traffic that is expected to be generated in the area and that
utilities exist or are planned which will adequately serve the property as rezoned.
Woodruff Avenue is a fully improved, 80 -foot -wide, four -lane major -street within the City
of Downey and can accommodate substantial amounts of vehicular traffic. Since the site
has been in use as a manufacturing use, the site is already connected to utilities. The
zone change will not adversely impact the existing conditions of the street.
5. That the proposed zone change is in general conformance with the General Plan and
General Plan land use designation for the parcel The zone change will rezone a portion
of the property to M-1 zone. This is consistent with the other properties along Woodruff
Avenue, which are also in the M-1/ M-2 zone. Notwithstanding this, the zone change
maintains the goal of the General Plan land use designation for General Manufacturing
because the applicable zone to this designation is M-1 and M-2. Furthermore, General
Plan Program 1.3.2.3 encourages the change of the zoning of properties where
inconsistent with general plan land use designations. The P -B zone is obsolete;
therefore its elimination is necessary in order to comply with the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Property located at 12120-12132 Woodruff Avenue is hereby rezoned from

The subject property is located on the east side of Woodruff Avenue, South of Washburn Road
and north of Imperial Highway. The subject site is zoned P -B (Parking Buffer) for 20 feet along
the front property line, adjacent to Woodruff Avenue. Then the property is zoned M-1 (Light
Manufacturing) for 230 feet. The M-2 (General Manufacturing) zone takes up the rear of the
subject site for approximately 101 feet. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of General Manufacturing. The site has an area of 111,030 square feet and is
currently developed with six (6), one-story buildings, no landscaping and 92 parking spaces.
Four buildings along the northern property line were previously demolished in February 2017 to
accommodate the requested project. The buildings to the rear of the site, located along the
easterly property line are run and operated by a variety of uses, including a graphics business
and an auto repair business.
The uses surrounding the site include the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses to the north,
the Downey Medical Center to the northwest, a strip mall directly across the street, and the rear
of the Iglesia de Cristo church. To the south, both on the west and east of Woodruff Avenue are
manufacturing uses and a self -storage development.

2017. The notice of pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to
all property owners within 500' of the subject site on November 22, 2017.
DISCUSSION
Zone Change
The subject site currently has three zones, as illustrated below.
Zoning Map of Subject Site
The P -B (Parking Buffer) zone was intended to create separation between buildings and
adjoining streets and properties. The City of Downey conducted a comprehensive Zoning Code
update in 2008, which then eliminated the P -B zone, therefore making it obsolete. Building
separation for new development is now dictated by setbacks, variable height standards, and
Site Plan Reviews. When Staff receives applications for Site Plan Reviews where the property is
partially zoned P -B, the Applicant is required to also apply for a zone change to eliminate this
zone. As such, the Applicant is proposing to eliminate the P -B zone on the property and
incorporate this area into the adjoining M-1 zone. The proposed zone change complies with the
General Plan Land Use Designation of General Manufacturing wherein it states that the General
Manufacturing designation is intended for manufacturing, wholesaling, and other industrial land
uses. The corresponding zone for this designation is M -1/M-2, Light/General Manufacturing.

Proposed Zoning Map
The Applicant is proposing to demolish two (2) additional buildings along the southern property
line and construct a new 17,656 square -foot, 18 -foot tall, one-story industrial building along the
northern property line. Each tenant space will include a warehouse and office space. The
building will be setback 18 feet from Woodruff Avenue to match the front building line of the
existing 1,067 building that is to be modified. The uses for these spaces will be in compliance
with the permitted uses for the underlying zone.

approach to add an aesthetically pleasing characteristic to the driveway. The parking and
circulation on site will be completly redone to accommodate the required amount of parking
spaces and to integrate landscaping into the parking areas. The site has been parked pursuant
to Code Section 9712 wherein the parking requirement for manufacturing and industrial uses is
one (1) parking space per 500 square feet. This requirement takes into account the existing
uses on site and satisfies these requirements. With the proposed building area of the site
totaling 45,492 square feet, the required parking at one (1) space per 500 square feet, the
parking requirement for this site is 91 parking spaces. As such, the Applicant is providing 91
parking spaces on site, 86 standard spaces and five (5) ADA accessible spaces.
Architecture
The Applicant worked closely with Staff to create a modern, industrial building that would
complement the existing and surrounding architecture, but that would also bring a new and
attractive look to Woodruff Avenue where there are predominantly manufacturing buildings that
lack a relationship to the street.
The architecture of the new building is modern in design and includes a glass door and window
as the entrance off of Woodruff Avenue. The building's placement and low -profile in relation to
Woodruff Avenue creates a more welcoming and less industrial look for this property. Along with
the construction of the new building, the existing 1,067 square -foot, one-story building that is
located in the south-west corner of the property will undergo a fagade modification to match the
architectural style of the new building. The walls of both buildings will be stucco and will be
painted with an earth toned theme with various shades of brown and an accent of burgundy
over the canopies of the glass door entrances to each tenant space. The existing angled roof of
the 1,067 square -foot building will be removed and changed to a flat roof to match the new
building.
The following renderings reflect the proposed design of the building:

The development of this site Will include all new landscap ng, as t ere current y is none.
Pursuant to Code Section 9520 (Landscaping, Lighting, and Walls), this site is required to have
a minimum of ten percent landscaping throughout the site. The Applicant is providing 10.3%
landscaping, which includes trees and drought tolerant shrubs. Since landscaping does not
currently exist on the subject site nor within the parking lot, the entire parking lot will be
reconfigured and redesigned to allow for the installation of landscaping. Landscaped planters
will be placed in between rows of parking stalls to create "orchard" parking lot landscaping, as
regulated in Code Section 9520 — Landscaping, Lighting, and Walls. The Applicant will also be
planting 25 trees on site to comply with Table 9.5.4 (below), which includes three (3) - 48 box
trees, three (3) - 36" box trees, four (4) - 24" box trees, and 15 - 15 gallon trees.

Integrated into the landscaping of the project are four (4) new trash enclosures, to be
constructed at various locations throughout the parking lot. These enclosures will be
architecturally compatible with the design of the building.
The City's Development Review Committee reviewed the project on April 17, 2017. The Fire
Department had a concern regarding emergency fire access onto the site. The Applicant
addressed this concern by providing a clear turnaround around in the rear of the site for fire
access. There were no concerns from any other department, therefore standard Conditions of
Approval have been applied to the project.

In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Staff has
determined that the proposed development is categorical exempt, pursuant to Section 15332,
(Class 32, In -fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines. Categorical Exemptions are
projects, which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and
have been exempted from the requirements of CEQA. The project is categorically exempted
under this Section because it is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all
applicable general plan policies under five (5) acres, as well as all applicable zoning designation
and regulations.
FINDINGS
A. That the zone change is necessary and • for the development of the
community in harmony with the objectives of the General Plan and this chapter
and is in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, and general
welfare.
The zone change will rezone a portion of the property to M-1 zone. This is consistent
with the other properties along Woodruff Avenue, which are also in the M-1/ M-2 zone.
Notwithstanding this, the zone change maintains the goal of the General Plan land use
designation for General Manufacturing because the applicable zone to this designation
is M-1 and M-2. Furthermore, General Plan Program 1.3.2.3 encourages the change of
the zoning of properties where in consistent with general plan land use designations.
The P -B zone is obsolete; therefore its elimination is necessary in order to comply with
the General Plan.
B. That the zone change will be compatible and complementary to existing
condons and adjoining property in the surrounding area.
The subject site is completely surrounded by other M-1 and M-2 zoned properties and is
adjacent to similar manufacturing uses. The elimination of the P -B zone will remain
consistent with the adjoining properties.

Site Plan Review
In order to approve the Site Plan Review, the following findings must be adopted.
A. The site plan is consistent with the goals and policies embodied in the General
Plan • other applicableplans and policies • • • - • by •
The proposed site plan is consistent with the purpose of the manufacturing zone
regulations in that this development will provide employment opportunities close to home
for residents of the City and surrounding communities. Additionally, it complies with
Program 1.1.3.1 of the General Plan's Land Use Chapter wherein it encourages land
uses that generate jobs. The development of this site will give businesses the
opportunity to operate within this space.
B. The proposed • • iaccordancepurposes ;• • • Jectivesf
Article IX and the zone in which the site is located.
Pursuant to Article IX, Section 9318.02, the purpose of the manufacturing zones is
intended to provide an orderly development and grouping together of light manufacturing
uses in harmony with each other and the rest of the community. The proposed
12120 Woodruff Avenue- PLN -17-00052

development complies with all of the development standards for the manufacturing
zones and provides an,opportunity for manufacturing businesses to occupy this space,
This continuation of a use will contribute to the character of the existing manufacturing
zone, therefore meeting the intent of the purpose of the manufacturing zone.
C� The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including
architecture and
• will integrate harmoniously and enhance t
character and design • the site, the •t neighborhood, and the
surrounding areas of the City. I
D. The site plan and location of the buildings, parking areas, signs ' landscaping,
luminaries,
• other site features indicate that proper consideration has •
given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile
and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effects of the development rom the
view of the public streets.
The site design and overall integration of the landscaping and building orientation was
well -envisioned by the applicant. The relationship of the building to the street creates a
welcoming entrance into the building and is pedestrian friendly. The location of the
parking spaces throughout the development gives consideration to the residents and
visitors who will be patronizing this location,
E. The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing
extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations •
facilities.
The project will enhance the existing manufacturing uses in the area. The new building
will bring a current architectural style to the streetscape, while breaking up the monotony
of generic manufacturing buildings. The development prevents this dissimilarity by
modifying the fagade of the existing 1,067 square -foot building to match the newly
constructed buildings on site, therefore making it a part of the development of the whole
lot.
F. The site plan • design considerations shall tend to upgrade property in the
immediate neighborhood and surrounding areas with an accompanying
• • conditions affecting the public health, safety, comfort, and welfare.
The proposed development includes the development of a brand new, modern industri
building. The new development will enhance the streetscape along Woodruff Avenue b
providing a modern building and new landscaping.
G. 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. I
Conditions of approval have been added to this project to comply with Section 4960 of
Chapter 10 of Article IV of the Municipal Code. This includes the use of graffiti resistant

THE PLANNING COMMISSION
'• ; OF OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVEAS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A. On April 11, 2017, the applicant submitted a request fora Zone Change and Site Plan
Review to eliminate the P -B (Parking Buffer) zone on the subject site, modify the fagade
of an existing 1,067 square -foot building, and to allow the construction of a 17,656
square -foot industrial building. Due to missing information on the project plans, staff
deemed the application incomplete; and,
B: On September 25, 2017, the applicant submitted the remaining information needed to
complete the application. Accordingly, staff deemed the application complete on October
12, 2017; and,
C. On November 22, 2017, 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 December 6, 2017, 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 it has
reviewed the project for compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act. Based on its own analysis and consideration, it was found that the project is
categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32, In -fill
Development Projects). The Planning Commission finds the project is consistent with the
General Plan and zoning, is on a site that is less than five acres and does not have any
protected habitat, and can be adequately served by utilities.
SECTION 3: Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at
said public hearings regarding the Zone Change, the Planning Commission further finds,
determines and declares that:
A. That the zone change is necessary and desirable for the development of the community
in harmony with the objectives of the General Plan and this chapter and is in the interest
of furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The zone change will
rezone a portion of the property to M-1 zone. This is consistent with the other properties
-along Woodruff Avenue, which are also in the M-1/ M-2 zone. Notwithstanding this, the
zone change maintains the goal of the General Plan land use designation for General
Manufacturing because the applicable zone to this designation is M-1 and M-2.
Furthermore, General Plan Program 1.3.2.3 encourages the change of the zoning of
Resolution No. 17-3040
Downey Planning Commission
properties where in consistent with general plan land use designations. The P -B zone is
obsolete; therefore its elimination is necessary in order to comply with the General Plan.:
B. That the zone change will be compatible and complementary to existing conditions and
adjoining property in the surrounding area. The subject site is completely surrounded by
other M-1 and M-2 zoned properties and is adjacent to similar manufacturing uses. The
elimination of the P -B zone will remain consistent with the adjoining properties.
C. That the site is adequate in size to accommodate the uses permitted in the zone
requested and that all applicable property development standards can be complied with.
The subject site has a lot area of 111,030 square feet. The minimum lot size required for
the M-1 zone is 20,000 square feet and the M-2 zone is 40,000 square feet. The subject
site exceeds the minimum required lot size for both of these zones. The.subject site is
more than adequate in size to accommodate the uses allowed in the underlying zone.
Furthermore, the proposedproject complies with all applicable development standards.
D. That the site properly relates to streets and highways designed and fully improved to
carry the type and quantity of traffic that is expected to be generated in the area and that
utilities exist or are planned which will adequately serve the property as rezoned.
Woodruff Avenue is an 80 -foot -wide, four -lane major -street within the City of Downey
and can accommodate substantial amounts of vehicular traffic and is fully improved.
Since the site has been in use as a manufacturing use, the site is already connected to
utilities. The zone change will not adversely impact the existing conditions of the street.
E. That the proposed zone change is in general conformance with the General Plan and
General Plan land use designation for the parcel. The zone change will rezone a portion
of the property to M-1 zone. This is consistent with the other properties along Woodruff
Avenue, which are also in the M-1/ M-2 zone. Notwithstanding this, the zone change
maintains the goal of the General Plan land use designation for General Manufacturing
because the applicable zone to this designation is M-1 and M-2. Furthermore, General
Plan Program 1.3.2.3 encourages the change of the zoning of properties where
inconsistent with general plan land use designations. The P -B zone is obsolete;
therefore its elimination is necessary in order to comply with the General Plan.
SECTION 4 Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3 of this resolution,
the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby recommends that the City Council of the
City of Downey rezone 20 -feet of the western -most portion of the subject site from P -B (Parking
Buffer) to M-1 (Light Manufacturing, as shown on the attached zoning map.
SECTION 5. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

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. On April 11, 2017, the applicant submitted a request for a Zone Change and Site Plan
Review to eliminate the P -B (Parking Buffer) zone on the subject site and rezone the
entire subject site to M-1 (Light Manufacturing) and to allow the construction of a 17,656
square -foot industrial building. Due to missing information on the project plans, staff
deemed the application incomplete; and,
B On September 25, 2017, the applicant submitted the remaining information needed to
complete the application. Accordingly, staff deemed the application complete on October
12, 2017; and,
C. On November 22, 2017, 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 December 6, 2017, 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 it has
reviewed the project for compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act. Based on its own analysis and consideration, it was found that the project is
categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32, In -fill
Development Projects). The Planning Commission finds the project is consistent with the
General Plan and zoning, is on a site that is less than five acres and does not have any
protected habitat, and can be adequately served by utilities.
SECTION 3; 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:
A. 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. The proposed site plan is
consistent with the purpose of the manufacturing zone regulations in that this
development will provide employment opportunities close to home for residents of the
City and surrounding communities. Additionally, it complies with Program 1.1.3.1 of the
General Plan's Land Use Chapter wherein it encourages land uses that generate jobs.
The development of this site will give businesses the opportunity to operate within this
space.
Resolution No. 17-3041
Downey Planning Commission
B. The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of Article
IX and the zone in which the site is located. Pursuant to Article IX, Section 9318.02, the
purpose of the manufacturing zones is intended to provide an orderly development and
grouping together of light manufacturing uses in harmony with each other and the rest of
the community. The proposed development complies with all of the development
standards for the manufacturing zones and provides an opportunity for manufacturing
businesses to occupy this space. This continuation of a use will contribute to the
character of the existing manufacturing zone, therefore meeting the intent of the purpose
of the manufacturing zone.
C. 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 proposed
development complies with all the development standards. The parking and circulation
of the site, as well as the addition of landscaping, will serve to upgrade the property and
integrate it harmoniously into the surrounding area.
D. The site plan and location of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries,
and other site features indicatethatproper 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 site design and overall integration of the landscaping and building orientation was
well -envisioned by the applicant. The relationship of the building to the street creates a
welcoming entrance into the building and is pedestrian friendly. The location of the
parking spaces throughout the development gives consideration to the residents and
visitors who will be patronizing this location.
E; The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing
extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities.
The project will enhance the existing manufacturing uses in the area. The new building
will bring a current architectural style to the streetscape, while breaking up the monotony
of generic manufacturing buildings. The development prevents this dissimilarity by
modifying the fagade of the existing 1,067 square -foot building to match the newly
constructed buildings on site, therefore making it a part of the development of the whole
lot.
F 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 proposed development
includes the development of a brand new, modern industrial building. The new
development will enhance the streetscape along Woodruff Avenue by providing
modern building and new landscaping.
G.= 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. Conditions of approval have been added to this
project to comply with Section 4960 of Chapter 10 of Article IV of the Municipal Code.
This includes the use of graffiti resistant products in the construction of the building and
the removal of any graffiti within 72 hours of application, which will be the responsibility
of the applicant to complete.
