DISCUSSION
The Site Plan Review process requires an evaluation of the proposed site improvements,
landscaping, architecture, and compliance with the Downey Municipal Code. The site
improvements consist of the complete remodel of the front and side façades, expansion of the
showroom and service reception area, expanded delivery canopy, new landscaping throughout
the vehicle display area, and reconfiguration of pedestrian and vehicle circulation. The proposed
project will demolish existing canopy display to accommodate the showroom expansion along
the east elevation and removal of a tower feature to the north to incorporate the proposed
modern architecture style required to comply with corporate branding. An existing sewer
easement runs north to south on the site which restricts any construction within the easement
space. The proposed delivery canopy will be detached from the building to avoid construction in
the sewer easement. The project will also include installing electric vehicle (EV) storage and
battery within EV service bay.
The proposed development will comply with all applicable development standards. As a point of
reference, some major development standards for this project are as follows:
Standard Zoning Code

Architecture
Corporate Hyundai mandates all national franchises to meet and match one architectural design
for branding and uniformity. The proposed design for the remodeled building will meet Hyundai’s
design requirement which is associated with a modern style architecture. The building features
a modern look with a variety of enhanced exterior bronze and aluminum features. The front of
the showroom building features large storefront windows with a glass vehicle display area
accented by exterior glazing and contrasting aluminum panels. The aluminum panels are a
waved-like pattern inspired by “clouds in nature” to match Hyundai’s corporate branding. The
service and delivery canopy will match the same materials and colors featured throughout the
main building.
Landscape
The project will include 4,987 square feet of landscape area consisting mostly of drought
tolerant landscape. The proposed landscaping will be colorful, full, and accent the design theme
of the overall site. Landscaping will incorporate a tiered system consisting of grass, shrubs, and
trees. The project will maintain existing Mexican fan palm and Brisbane box trees and will install
dwarf bottlebrush, brakelights red yucca, deer grass, coast rosemary, stalked bulbine, berkelye
sedge, and blue chalksticks all throughout the site.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed Site Plan Review for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, staff has determined that
this request is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15301
(Class 1– Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemptions consist of additions to existing structures no
more than 10,000 square feet. The exemption applies as the project is in an area where all
public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the
General Plan and is not located within an environmentally sensitive area.
FINDINGS
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9820.08, there are seven (7) findings that must be adopted
prior to approving a Site Plan Review. The findings are as follows:
1. The site plan is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General
Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council.
The project’s objective to revitalize the site helps achieve various long-term goals.
Specifically, the following policies are promoted by the Site Plan Review:
Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality.
Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties.
The proposed architecture uses quality materials that provide different elements to
achieve modern style architecture. The site is compatible in that the surrounding
properties consist of a variety of architectural styles; however, this development will be
newer than most developments within its proximity. The redevelopment of this site has
the potential of serving as an example of higher quality architecture for future
developments within the city.
Program 9.1.1.5 – Continue the revitalization of commercial and industrial corridors.
The site has remained relatively the same since 1980 (with the exception of a few minor
interior tenant improvements), and is surrounded by older developed commercial
properties. The quality of design, site layout, and landscaping not only upgrades the
subject property but the surrounding area as well.
2. The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of
this article and the zone in which the site is located.
The purpose of the C-2 (General Commercial) zone, as stated in the Downey Municipal
Code, “is intended to provide for and encourage the orderly development of general
commercial uses, with a wide variety of goods and services, for the residents of the
entire City, with provisions designed to ensure that such commerce will be efficient,
functionally related, and compatible with adjacent noncommercial development.” The
proposed application is in full conformance with the objectives stated above in that it will
continue to allow for the site to offer goods and services with this commercial zone.
Furthermore, automobile dealership use is commonly found in the General Commercial
zone and are consistent with other uses found along Firestone Boulevard.

3. 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 design of the project will integrate harmoniously with this area by
providing aesthetically pleasing architecture and landscaping. The renovations and
expansion to the existing 13,909 square foot building will serve as a significant upgrade
from the existing facilities on the site. In addition, the landscape will be enhanced to
provide better transition from the street onto the site and vehicle display area.
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 existing site layout has two entries along Firestone Boulevard without access to
circulate from one entry to the next. The proposed development will remove a raised
concrete curb, modify vehicle display parking, and expand the driveway to create two-
way circulation at the front of the site. Modifications to the parking and driveway will
improve circulation for visitors and staff members. In addition, the landscaping around
the vehicle display creates a nice transitional buffer between the site and the public right
of way and is intended to heavily compliment the aesthetics of the site. This project also
incorporates decorative pavement within the vehicle display area; thus, preventing a
long barren site with no visual appeal.
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 proposed project reflects modern style architecture, and reflects a high quality of
architectural design. The proposed architectural style is neither dissimilar nor
monotonous from other buildings in the area and this project will upgrade the overall
appearance of the site and, in turn, improve the community appearance. Lastly, this
proposed development will be in keeping with the quality of design of recently approved
projects within the city.
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.
The proposed architecture is a significant upgrade to the immediate neighborhood and
surrounding areas. In addition, the redevelopment of this site has the potential of serving
as an example for higher quality architecture for future developments within the City of
Downey. Lastly, the operational procedures of the proposed development are also
conditioned in an effort to ensure that any potential effects will not negatively harm or
impact the surrounding sites and accompany the public health, safety, comfort and
general welfare as much as possible.
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.
