A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (PLN -18-00058), FOR A PROPOSED
OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT BETWEEN 10441 AND 10629 LAKEWOOD
BOULEVARD
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 27, 2018, the applicant submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit to
request for approval an off-site parking agreement between a proposed medical office at
10441 Lakewood Boulevard and the property at 10629 Lakewood Boulevard; and,
B. On May 23, 2018, after a careful review of the submitted information, staff deemed the
application complete; and,
C. On July 5, 2018, 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 July 18, 2018, and after
fully considering all oral and written testimony, facts, and opinions offered at the
aforesaid public hearing directed staff to prepare a resolution of denial based on the
inability to make of the required findings in a positive manner; and,
E. On August 1, 2018, the Planning Commission 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 (CEQA). Based on its own analysis and consideration, it was found that the project
is statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15270.
SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at
said public hearing, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that:
A. The requested use will adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located. The 1,150 feet path of
travel from the parking site to the proposed medical office is too excessive for people to
walk. This makes it more difficult when people walk in the rain and in extreme heat to
get to the proposed medical office. As a result, people will park at the business lot and
on adjacent streets. Furthermore, there is a great concern about the use of the off-site
parking that limited to only Monday through Friday because the proposed medical use
could open on Saturdays.
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 denies Conditional Use
Permit (PLN -18-00058).
