BACKGROUND
The subject site is an approximate 63-acre site that encompasses the Stonewood Center. The
Stonewood Center was originally built in 1958 as an open-air mall; however, in 1990 the mall
was enclosed. The site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and
is zoned Stonewood Specific Plan (SP 89-1). The site is generally bounded by Lakewood Blvd,
Firestone Blvd, Woodruff Ave, and Cecilia St. The Stonewood Center is a single-story (anchors
are multiple stories) regional mall with over 900,000 square feet of leasable area, which
includes inline tenants, four anchor tenants (Sears, Macy’s, Kohl’s, JCPenney), and several
restaurants within the enclosed mall. The site also includes four outlying buildings that contain
two auto repair businesses (Sears & Firestone) and two restaurants (Acapulco and Olive
Garden). The center is encompassed by parking lots that provide capacity for approximately
4,800 vehicles throughout the site.
The proposed salon studio will occupy a tenant space that was formally occupied by 3 tenants:
Payless Shoe Source, Blooming Beauty, and Bella’s Furniture store, all with interior entrances
from the mall.
Existing Façade of Tenant Space
Surrounding land uses include:
North – The north side of the subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of
Low Density Residential and is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential). This area is
improved with single-family homes.
South - The properties to the south of the project site, across Firestone Blvd, are within
the Lakewood-Firestone Specific Plan (SP 91-2) and have a General Plan Land Use
Designation of General Commercial. These properties are improved with a variety of
commercial uses.
PC AGENDA PAGE 2

August 21, 2019- Page 3
East – The properties to the east of the subject site, across Woodruff Avenue, are
developed with a mix of residential uses. The single family homes are within the Low
Density Residential Land Use Designation and are zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential); whereas, the condominiums are within the Medium Density Residential
Land Use Designation and are zoned R-3 (Multi-Family Residential).
West - The properties to the west of the subject site are located across Lakewood Blvd,
and are zoned C-P (Commercial Professional) with a General Plan Land Use
Designation of Office. These properties are improved with a combination of retail,
offices, and residential.
On April 17, 2019, the applicant submitted a request to establish the exterior façade remodel for
an entrance to the tenant space. After a thorough review of the request, staff deemed this
application incomplete on May 13, 2019, due to missing information on the project plans. The
remaining information needed to complete the application was submitted to staff on June 25,
2019. As such, staff deemed the request complete on July 23, 2019.
On August 8, 2019, notice of the pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot;
as well as, directly mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the subject site.
DISCUSSION
Sola Salon Studios is a nationally recognized salon studio business with over 400 locations
throughout the United States. They have chosen to locate within three vacant tenant spaces on
the northeast side of the mall, just south of Kohl’s. The tenant space is 6,988 square feet and
will contain multiple salon studios, a breakroom, and two restrooms. Currently, there is no entry
from the exterior of the mall to the tenant space, therefore the applicant is requesting approval
to add a second access on the exterior side of the tenant space (facing the parking lot) to give
the salon an enhanced and inviting entry for patrons. The proposed entrance will add
landscaping and architectural interest to an area that previously served as a service/utility
access area.
The new entry will have a textured metal awning above the entrance of the building as well as
lighting fixtures for functional purposes. The awning and light fixtures will be black which will
frame the new entry and augment the building articulation. To complete the appearance, the
entry doors will be aluminum with glass to create a welcoming approach to the tenant space. It
is staff’s opinion the improvements to the façade will update the utilitarian appearance of this
area of the mall. The multiple materials provide surfaces that enhance the architectural details
of the building, but are still compatible with the elements from other entrances of the mall. The
proposed entrance includes finished materials and colors that will be complimentary to the rest
of the mall entrances. The walls will be stucco with color to match the existing walls. There will
be a black steel awning with cables over the entry doors and black, downlight sconce lights on
either side of the door. The entrance will have a double glass door, to create an inviting look
and be compatible with the other mall entrance doors.
New landscape will be added to the existing planter to the south of the proposed entrance,
which will consist of Ficus Repens, Rhaphiolepis, Agapanthus, Tradescanthia, and Iceberg
Roses. For added visual enhancement, a potted planter will be added on the north side of the
proposed entrance with a Rhapis Palm Tradescanthia, which can grow up to 14’, therefore
screening the wall-mounted electrical box as shown on the visuals. These plants require little
maintenance and are also found throughout the subject site. Staff has included a condition of
PC AGENDA PAGE 3
306 Stonewood St – PLN-19-00051
August 21, 2019- Page 4
approval to require that any plants that are removed or damaged during the construction
process be replaced with a mature version of that plant.
Rendering of Proposed Project
The approved signs for Stonewood Center are listed in the Planned Sign Program (DR 89-21),
which was approved by the Design Review Board on November 22, 1989. The Sign Program
indicates the size and location of all wall signs permitted. The proposed new entry location is not
identified as a permitted wall sign location because an exterior entry was not foreseen at the
time of adoption. Notwithstanding this, Section VI (D)(19) of the Stonewood Specific Plan allows
deviations to the Planned Sign Program, if approved by the Planning Commission. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting to modify the Planned Sign Program to allow additional signage. The
width of the new salon tenant space is 98’-2” and requests to allow a wall sign to be 69.58
square feet. The applicant’s proposed sign will consist of one (1) exterior wall sign that reads
“Sola Salons” along with the company’s logo. The proposed sign is consistent with signs and
scales of other wall signs in the center.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE
On April 26, 2019, the proposal went before the City’s Development Review Committee. No
departments had any concerns or comments. Building Department had standard Conditions of
Approval. Conditions of approval are included in the draft approval resolution to implement
these requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed use 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. 15301 (Class 1, Existing
Facilities). Categorical Exemptions are projects, which have been determined not to have a
PC AGENDA PAGE 4
306 Stonewood St – PLN-19-00051
August 21, 2019- Page 5
significant effect on the environment and have been exempted from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act. Class 1 consists of projects that involve no or negligible
expansion of the existing use. Sola Salon Studios will occupy existing tenant spaces within the
mall with no expansion being done. The addition of an exterior entrance to this business is a
negligible increase to the existing space. As such, staff believes that the proposed project
qualifies for the Class 1 exemption.
FINDINGS
Site Plan Review
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9820.08, there are seven (7) findings that must be adopted
prior to the Planning Commission approving the Site Plan Review. A discussion of the findings
follows:
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 subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and
is zoned Stonewood Specific Plan (SP 89-1). The intent of the land use designation and
zoning is to provide commercial and service uses in the City that serve the broadest
community and regional needs. Furthermore, General Plan Policy 1.1.4 states “Provide
an appropriate amount of land area for people to acquire goods and services.” The
proposed restaurant will meet these needs by providing a place for a variety of personal
services within the mall for those who live and work in the area. This business will be
complementary to the other retail/commercial uses that are located in the vicinity of the
project site and generate new jobs for the community. It is also a policy of the General
Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to “Promote the upgrading of properties.” The proposed
improvements achieve the goal of this policy since it will enhance the aesthetic quality of
the existing mall. For these reasons, the approval of this project is consistent with the
goals, policies, programs, and land uses of all applicable elements of the General Plan.
B. 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 to the adjoining area. In this case, the zoning is implemented through
the Stonewood Specific Plan (SP 89-1), which regulates how the mall is developed and
utilized. The façade modifications are intended to help activate the northeastern side of
the mall, which is one of the objectives of the Specific Plan zoning. The salons are a
complimentary use with other mall tenants and can provide additional foot traffic and
customer base to support said tenants. Furthermore, the proposed project does not
alter the existing setbacks, parking lots, or circulation. The proposed façade
improvements comply with the development standards within the zoning district and can
be achieved while avoiding impacts to other uses in the area. For these reasons, the
proposed project is determined to be consistent with the purpose and objects of the
zoning code.
C. The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including
architecture and landscaping, will integrate harmoniously and enhance the
PC AGENDA PAGE 5
306 Stonewood St – PLN-19-00051
August 21, 2019- Page 6
character and design of the site, the immediate neighborhood, and the
surrounding areas of the City.
The proposed salon studio will occupy existing space and will not alter existing setbacks,
parking lots, or circulation on the site. The applicant is requesting to modify the existing
facade of the building by adding an exterior entrance into the tenant space. The
proposed materials and colors will add visual interest to the east side of the mall that is
inviting to customers. The proposed improvements integrate harmoniously into the
architectural style of the building. The proposed design will provide an aesthetic
enhancement to an area of the mall that was previously overlooked and served as utility
access. Additionally, the area will be provided with new landscaping to correspond with
the character of the center.
D. 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 studio will occupy existing tenant spaces and will not alter existing
setbacks, parking lots, luminaries or circulation of the site. The project will require
removal an empty planter located in the middle of the concrete sidewalk. To
accommodate the loss of this planter, the applicant has worked with the property owner
to enhance the existing planter on the left side of the entrance façade with a variety of
plants that correspond with the center. Additionally, the applicant is adding potted plants
on the opposite side of the façade entrance to enhance the visual appearance of this
entrance. The applicant’s proposal will not impact the functional aspects of the site
development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, landscaping, signs, and the
visual effects of the development from the view of the public streets.
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 subject site is a tenant space within the Stonewood Center, a regional shopping
mall. The use of multiple architectural accents on large buildings, such as the mall, can
provide architectural relief, while avoiding monotony. The applicant has achieved this
goal with the steel metal finish on the accents and awning over the entrance. The
proposed new entry will allow the building to avoid monotony, but the landscape and
overall design still blend pleasantly with the other architecture used throughout the mall.
The simple and sleek awning style is also found at Rock n’ Brews, BJ’s Restaurant, and
a larger version of this style awning is seen at the Macy’s entrances in a white color. The
proposed project will upgrade the overall appearance of the site and, in turn, improve the
visual interest on the east side of the mall.
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.
This project will reestablish an area of the mall that is less visited by customers and
parking areas not used as commonly as the other sides of the mall. The activity
PC AGENDA PAGE 6
306 Stonewood St – PLN-19-00051
August 21, 2019- Page 7
generated by this use and new entry will help to activate the eastern side of the mall.
Furthermore, the project will eliminate the existing façade of the tenant space, which
served as utility access, and upgrade it to a new bold style. As such, the enhancements
will upgrade the appearance of the building and provide betterment to the aesthetic
quality of the area.
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.
As part of this project, staff is recommending several conditions of approval, which
include the use of graffiti resistant materials in the construction of the new entry. Should
any graffiti appear on the site, staff has included a condition of approval that the
applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application. With these conditions, staff
feels that the design features will be in accordance with Section 4960 of the Municipal
Code.
Planned Sign Program
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9610.06, there are six (6) findings that must be adopted
prior to the Planning Commission approving the Planned Sign Program modification. A
discussion of the findings follows:
A. The proposed signs are permitted within the zone and comply with all applicable
provisions of the Zoning Code, the General Plan, and any other applicable
standards.
Program 8.1.1.8 of the General Plan states, “Promote good quality sign design.” The
proposed signs are aesthetically consistent with the building’s architecture along with the
scale and locations of other wall signs in the center. This will enhance the mall’s
appearance, thus it is consistent with the aforementioned General Plan program.
Furthermore, Section VI(D)(19) of the Stonewood Specific Plan allows the Planning
Commission to approve deviations to the Planned Sign Program.
B. The signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program are in proper proportion to the
structure or site on which it is located.
In order to ensure wall signs are in proportion with the building, the City must analyze
the overall sign size, spacing, and any conflicts with architectural features on the
building. The applicant has provided proper spacing between the signs to avoid a
massive appearance of the signs. The signs are aesthetically consistent with the
architecture of all the buildings. The proposed size, location and style of the proposed
sign is consistent with wall signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program and are in
proportion to the building.
C. The proposed sign materials, color, texture, size, shape, height, and placement
are compatible with the design of the structure(s), property, and neighborhood of
which it is a part.
The new entry will have a variety of textures and colors to compliment and correspond
with the existing building. The new entrance to the mall is intended to increase attention
PC AGENDA PAGE 7
306 Stonewood St – PLN-19-00051
August 21, 2019- Page 8
to this side of the mall and the installation of a properly scaled wall sign will identity to
the new entry. The proposed sign program amendment will allow one exterior sign,
limited to one (1) channel letter wall sign of 69.57 square feet. The proposed sign will
read “Sola Salons.” and include the nationally recognized Sola Salon Studios logo which
will be 6.25 square feet. The letters on the sign will be black with the aluminum return
painted black to match. The sign will also be reverse illuminated with LED as shown on
the plans. The signs are aesthetically consistent with the building design and the colors
that are being used for the entrance. Additionally, the size of the proposed sign is
consistent with the building setbacks and the apparent mass of the tenant space.
D. The sign’s illumination is at the lowest reasonable level as determined by the City
Planner, which ensures adequate identification and readability, and is directed
solely at the sign or is internal to it.
All signs are internally illuminated with LED, which minimizes light or glare generated
from the signs. The design and proposed lighting for the signs allows a reasonable
illumination of the signs while advoiding unnecessary light and glare. Additionally, the
proposed entry and sign are oriented toward the east of the northern parking lot and is
separated from adjacent residential uses by over 473 feet. As such, the lowest
reasonable level of illumination is being used for the sign.
E. The sign is not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare.
The signs do not block pedestrian or vehicle access to the site, nor do they create a
potential safety hazard on the site. The proposed wall sign will not be allowed to flash,
blink or cause any other action that could cause a distraction to vehicles in the area. The
sign will be required to meet light standards so as not to cause a detriment. The design
of the signs will enhance the facade in the area. As such, the proposed sign program
modification will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare.
F. The sign is in compliance with Section 9624, Lighting and Design Standards.
Section 9624 of the Municipal Code addresses two aspects regarding signs. The first is
proper illumination of signs. The sign will be internally illuminated and required to
maintain compliance with Section 9624 of the Municipal Code. The second aspect is to
ensure signs are properly designed to be architecturally compatible with the site. As
noted previously in this report, the proposed sign will utilize proper materials and design
to be compatible with the architecture of the existing building. As such, the sign program
is in compliance with Municipal Code Section 9624.

CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis contained within this report, the proposed project is consistent with the
goals and intent of the General Plan and Specific Plan. Furthermore, the architectural style of
the new entry will complement the area and provide a general upgrade to the aesthetic quality
of the area. As noted above, all findings required for approving the requested entitlements can
be made in a positive manner. As such, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve the Site Plan Review and Planned Sign Program modification (PLN-19-00051), subject
to the recommended conditions of approval.

these reasons, the approval of this project is consistent with the goals, policies,
programs, and land uses of all applicable elements of the General Plan.
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 to the adjoining area. In this
case, the zoning is implemented through the Stonewood Specific Plan (SP 89-1), which
regulates how the mall is developed and utilized. The façade modifications are intended
to help activate the northeastern side of the mall, which is one of the objectives of the
Specific Plan zoning. The salons are a complimentary use with other mall tenants and
can provide additional foot traffic and customer base to support said tenants.
Furthermore, the proposed project does not alter the existing setbacks, parking lots, or

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
salon studio will occupy existing space and will not alter existing setbacks, parking lots,
or circulation on the site. The applicant is requesting to modify the existing facade of the
building by adding an exterior entrance into the tenant space. The proposed materials
and colors will add visual interest to the east side of the mall that is inviting to customers.
The proposed improvements integrate harmoniously into the architectural style of the
building. The proposed design will provide an aesthetic enhancement to an area of the
mall that was previously overlooked and served as utility access. Additionally, the area
will be provided with new landscaping to correspond with the character of the center.
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 studio will occupy existing tenant spaces and will not alter existing
setbacks, parking lots, luminaries or circulation of the site. The project will require
removal an empty planter located in the middle of the concrete sidewalk. To
accommodate the loss of this planter, the applicant has worked with the property owner
to enhance the existing planter on the left side of the entrance façade with a variety of
plants that correspond with the center. Additionally, the applicant is adding potted plants
on the opposite side of the façade entrance to enhance the visual appearance of this
entrance. The applicant’s proposal will not impact the functional aspects of the site
development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, landscaping, signs, and the
visual effects of the development from the view of the public streets.
5. The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing
extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities.
The subject site is a tenant space within the Stonewood Center, a regional shopping
mall. The use of multiple architectural accents on large buildings, such as the mall, can
provide architectural relief, while avoiding monotony. The applicant has achieved this
goal with the steel metal finish on the accents and awning over the entrance. The
proposed new entry will allow the building to avoid monotony, but the landscape and

The simple and sleek awning style is also found at Rock n’ Brews, BJ’s Restaurant, and
a larger version of this style awning is seen at the Macy’s entrances in a white color. The
proposed project will upgrade the overall appearance of the site and, in turn, improve the
visual interest on the east side of the mall.
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. This project will reestablish an
area of the mall that is less visited by customers and parking areas not used as
commonly as the other sides of the mall. The activity generated by this use and new
entry will help to activate the eastern side of the mall. Furthermore, the project will
eliminate the existing façade of the tenant space, which served as utility access, and
upgrade it to a new bold style. As such, the enhancements will upgrade the appearance
of the building and provide betterment to the aesthetic quality of 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, staff is recommending
several conditions of approval, which include the use of graffiti resistant materials in the
construction of the new entry. Should any graffiti appear on the site, staff has included a
condition of approval that the applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application.
With these conditions, staff feels that the design features will be in accordance with
Section 4960 of the Municipal Code.

proposed sign is consistent with the building setbacks and the apparent mass of the
tenant space.
4. The sign’s illumination is at the lowest reasonable level as determined by the City
Planner, which ensures adequate identification and readability, and is directed solely at
the sign or is internal to it. All signs are internally illuminated with LED, which minimizes
light or glare generated from the signs. The design and proposed lighting for the signs
allows a reasonable illumination of the signs while advoiding unnecessary light and
glare. Additionally, the proposed entry and sign are oriented toward the east of the
northern parking lot and is separated from adjacent residential uses by over 473 feet. As
such, the lowest reasonable level of illumination is being used for the sign.
5. The sign is not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. The signs do
not block pedestrian or vehicle access to the site, nor do they create a potential safety
hazard on the site. The proposed wall sign will not be allowed to flash, blink or cause
any other action that could cause a distraction to vehicles in the area. The sign will be
required to meet light standards so as not to cause a detriment. The design of the signs
will enhance the facade in the area. As such, the proposed sign program modification
will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare.
6. The sign is in compliance with Section 9624, Lighting and Design Standards. Section
9624 of the Municipal Code addresses two aspects regarding signs. The first is proper
illumination of signs. The sign will be internally illuminated and required to maintain
compliance with Section 9624 of the Municipal Code. The second aspect is to ensure
signs are properly designed to be architecturally compatible with the site. As noted
previously in this report, the proposed sign will utilize proper materials and design to be
compatible with the architecture of the existing building. As such, the sign program is in
compliance with Municipal Code Section 9624.
SECTION 5. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 4 of this resolution,
the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves the Site Plan Review and
Planned Sign Program (PLN-19-00051), 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.

Site Plan Review for Exterior Entrance and Signage at Stonewood Center Mall
Dear Planning Commission:
The applicant, Sola Salons Downey LLC, seeks an exterior entrance and signage for its operation of
high-end salon studios. Sola Salon Studios is proud to offer salon professionals the freedom and
benefits of salon ownership without many of the risks associated with opening a traditional salon. Our
innovative model provides experienced hairdressers, estheticians, nail technicians and others (no
massage therapists) with high-quality, modern, customizable and affordable studios in which they can
own and operate premium salons. With more than 450 locations in 43 states and 13,000 salon
professionals in our community, we take pride in being one of the fastest-growing and most successful
salon franchises in the country. Currently, there are 94 operating locations in the State of California
with 13 being located in Los Angeles County. This concept offers salon professionals an alternative to
traditional salons which does not currently exist in the City of Downey or adjacent areas. Having an
exterior entrance will allow studio operators and their clients easy access to the salon without having
to use a main mall entrance or anchor tenant in a large regional mall. We appreciate your
consideration for this request and look forward to your decision.
Sincerely,
Scott Ditsworth
