West view of commercial tenant space On February 15, 2023, the applicant applied for a Conditional Use Permit requesting to allow the establishment of a veterinary hospital. Subsequently, after submittal of revised plans and additional information, staff deemed the ap plication complete for further processing on April 6, 2023. 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 April 6, 2023. DISCUSSION The subject property is improved with a 24,811 square foot multi-tenant commercial building with a total of 16 tenant spaces occupied by uses ranging from medical office, restaurant, and retail. Uses surrounding the commercial site include commercial uses to the north, west, and south with residential to the east. The subject site is also improved with a total of 127 shared parking spaces including five (5) ADA parking stalls. Since the tenant space previously contained a medical use, additional parking is not required for the pro posed veterinary use. Both uses require the same amount of parking space (1 space per 200 square feet of floor area). If the request is approved, the veterinary hospital will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The applicant is not proposing to operate on weekends, however, any changes to the hours of operation will require approval from the City Planner. Although the site is adjacent to residentially developed parcels, no impacts are anticipated related to noise levels since the building is separated by parking spaces and a drive aisle at the rear (east) of the building. In order to prevent potential noise impact to the abutting commercial tenant to the north, the Applicant is proposing to install sound Batt insulation along the shared interior wall. Staff has included a condition to certify that the insulation is installed prior to the operation of the PC AGENDA PAGE 2 veterinary hospital. Additionally, animals will not be kept overnight and any potential odor is controlled by daily cleaning of the space. Lastly, upon review of the application materials, staff supports the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment and operation of a veterinary hospital within the existing multi - tenant commercial building. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) and standard comments were provided. Staff included conditions in order to address the department’s comments. Other departments had no other concerns and standard conditions were provided. 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 significant effect on the environment and have been exemp ted from the requirements of CEQA. Class 1 consists of projects that involve interior alterations to an existing structure. The proposed veterinary hospital, only involves an interior improvement to an existing commercial building. FINDINGS Pursuant to the requirements of DMC Section 9824.06 (Conditional Use Permit), staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the following findings to approve the overall request: 1.That the requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the intent and purpose of Article IX 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 the establishment of a veterinary hospital will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Downey Municipal Code . The subject property is located within the C-2 zone, which is intended to provide for and encourage the orderly development of 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 adjac ent noncommercial development. The requested Conditional Use Permit will allow the operation veterinary hospital use but will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the City’s General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood in that this site has already been approved and improved for commercial development to serve the surrounding neighborhood. The new use will serve the community by providing animal medical services for all pet and animals owners in the area. PC AGENDA PAGE 3 2.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 requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses since the proposed use conforms to its C-2 zone development standards. The proposed veterinary hospital will consist of an interior renovation of the existing commercial tenant space. The applicant is not proposing to expand the existing building, maintaining the tenant and building footprint. The interior improvements include so undproofing walls and appropriate placement of any animal cages away from walls abutting the adjacent tenant space. The new use will complement the surrounding commercial uses and overall will serve the public with a use that the Zoning Code deems appropriate for uses within the C-2 zone. In addition, conditions have been included to ensure that the new use will not affect adjoining land uses of the area. 3.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 subject site is approximately 85,390 square feet in size. The existing tenant space is 2,296 square feet in size and is situated at the south end of the multi-tenant commercial building. A total of 127 parking spaces are provide for onsite parking. Based on the parking calculations, the commercial site is currently meeting the minimum required parking spaces when analyzing all existing uses of the subject site. The request to operate a veterinary hospital will not require additional parking spaces considering that the new use is the same parking ratio is equivalent to the previous medical use . Therefore, it will not be an adverse impact to the area. 4.That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. The traffic generated by the proposed use is not expected to significantly increase with the approval of the CUP, as the previous use was also a medical office use utilizing the same square footage. In addition, Lakewood Boulevard is classified as a major arterial that can support high volume of vehicles. The new veterinary hospital is not expected to generate significantly more traffic or impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area because the proposed use is similar in parking ratio and primarily operates by appointment basis. CORRESPONDENCE As of the date that this report was printed, staff has not received any correspondence regarding this matter. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commissio n adopt the resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit (PLN-23-00020), subject to the conditions of approval as stated in the Planning Commission Resolution.

The project is subject to a Conditional Use Permit because antennas are proposed at a location on the building rooftop which would defeat the concealment elements of the originally approved facility. The application was deemed complete for processing on February 27, 2023 and the action deadline is April 28, 2023. The Planning Commission had originally approved the wireless facility in 2000, through conditional use permit (PLN-00-5718) for Sprint. Then in 2002, a co-location wireless communication facility was approved for AT&T under Design Review Board (DRB) 02-26. Both approvals allowed the installation of the wireless facilities and their associated antennas on the roof of the existing building screened from view; including antennas enclosed in a functional clock tower for Sprint. Since the design review board approval in 2002, there has been no modification to the site’s wireless communication facilities. The following image shows the existing conditions of the site, including the functional clock tower with existing antennas. Existing Site Conditions On April 6, 2023, a public notice was published in the Downey Patriot announcing that a public hearing on the modification of the existing wireless facility is scheduled to occur on Wednesday April 19, 2023, and the notice was also mailed to all property owners within 500-feet of the subject site. SITE DESCRIPTION Located at the northwest corner of Old River School Road and Stewart & Gray Road, the site is improved with an existing 14,682 square foot, single-story, 18’-5” tall, multi-tenant commercial building. The building consists of a flat roof with a parapet. The site is zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) with a General Plan Land Use Designation of NC (Neighborhood Commercial). 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 3 DISCUSSION A Conditional Use Permit is required because the proposed antenna location does not comply with concealment elements from the originally approved Conditional Use Permit (per Section 9426, Wireless Communication Facilities of the Downey Municipal Code). The existing wireless facility is comprised of one roof mounted enclosure on the northwest corner of the building and is described as Sector “A”, Sector “B” and Sector “C” on the submitted set of plans (Exhibit C). The existing facility operates with six antennas and twenty-one remote radio units (RRUS) that service all sectors. The applicant is proposing to relocate Sector “A” and Sector “B” to a new enclosure of ± 630 square feet, proposed on the southeast corner of the building and will hold a total of eight antennas and six RRUS. The existing and expanded enclosure of ± 288 square feet will consist of four antennas and six RRUS along with an upgraded battery cabinet and power plant serving both enclosures. In summary, the overall number of antennas would be a total of twelve, and twelve RRUS distributed between two enclosures. Below is a detailed list of the project: • Expand an existing rooftop enclosure from ± 214 sq. ft lease area to ± 288 sq. ft lease area; • Remove twenty-one (21) remote radio units (RRUS) and replace with six (6) upgraded RRUS; • Relocating four (4) existing antennas to a new enclosure, two (2) existing antennas and two (2) new antennas within existing expanded enclosure; • Construct one new rooftop enclosure of 630 sq. ft of lease area; • Six (6) new remote radio units (RRUS) and four (4) new antennas; • Remove one (1) equipment cabinet and one (1) power plant, and replace with upgraded battery cabinet and power plant. Below are photo simulations showing a perspective view of existing and proposed. The images show the proposed enclosure to match the existing material to each façade. Existing Proposed 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 4 Existing Proposed The aerial image of the site depicting the existing AT&T wireless facility in a yellow outline and the new enclosure can be seen below in a purple outline. The image also shows the existing collocation of Sprint wireless facility in a red. No changes to Sprints’ wireless facility are part of this scope of work. Aerial view of the site Based on the Development Regulations in Section 9426.04, the new wireless communication facility complies with the height restrictions, concealment methods, and will be visually compatible with the existing building and its surroundings. Network Coverage Pursuant to the Downey Municipal Code, a Wireless Communication Facility is “an antenna structure and any appurtenant facilities or equipment located within City limits that provide commercial wireless service”. Wireless Communication Facilities owned by individual wireless carriers, e.g. Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, etc., are necessary to provide cellular service to its customers. As cellular technology advances the demand for bandwidth increases, existing wireless facilities experience dips in service and speed due to a high user amount and demand. New AT&T Enclosure 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 5 Therefore, when there is a lack of bandwidth capacity in an area these carriers will, among various options, potentially choose to modify existing facilities. Due to the advancement in cellular technology, the need for more communications facilities has increased. Specifically, in this instance, AT&T has identified a need for additional coverage and a lack of capacity in this area, as can be seen by the propagation map below. Propagation Map without proposed modifications The center of the map above shows the location of the proposed wireless communications facility. As can be seen, the service provided by the center cell site is less potent than others located throughout the city prompting a gap in coverage. The construction of the proposed wireless communications facility is necessary to bridge the need for additional coverage. Below is the new coverage area with the proposed modification. Propagation Map with proposed modifications 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 6 Concealment The proposed roof mounted equipment is to be concealed from the public’s view as required by the Downey Municipal Code. The concealment consists of two enclosures surrounding the antennas and RRUS and all other associated materials. The existing and new enclosure have the same overall height of 5’-7” tall above the parapet of the 18’-5” tall existing building. The four foot (4’) tall antennas fit completely within the enclosures and are installed at a height lower than the top of the enclosures. The existing facility to be expanded will have its screening panels replaced and painted to match the existing building. The newly constructed enclosure will match or mimic the texture of the façade. The east side will mimic the existing split face block wall directly underneath it and the south side will match the existing stucco. The replicated texture will be painted to match the building and achieve the intent of concealment. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE The City’s Development Review Committee reviewed the requested application. No division or department articulated any concerns regarding the project. Standard comments were provided, and can be reviewed in the attached resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Staff has reviewed the proposed wireless communication facility 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) and Section No. 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. 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 the California Environmental Quality Act. Class 1, exemptions consist of minor alteration of an existing telecommunication facility involving negligible or no expansion of use, whereas Class 3 exemptions consist of installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures. Staff believes that the proposed wireless facilities meets all of the requirements needed to qualify for a Class 1 & Class 3 exemptions. FINDINGS Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9824.06, there are four (4) findings that must be adopted prior to the Planning Commission approving the Conditional Use Permit. A discussion of the findings follows: 1. The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the City’s General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof. A purpose of the Zoning Code is to regulate the use of land in order to promote the public’s health, safety, and the general welfare. The Conditional Use Permit allows wireless communication facilities subject to specific standards listed in Subsection 9426.04(b) of the Downey Municipal Code. As the project conforms to the development standards applicable to wireless communication facilities, it is determined that the Conditional Use Permit will therefore not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code. 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 7 General Plan Policy 2.7.1 states: “Provide adequate utility and communications infrastructure”. Furthermore, General Plan Program 2.7.1.2 states: “Promote the expansion of communication networks to meet the needs of city residents, business and other land uses”. This project will expand and improve the communication network and fulfill the aforementioned program. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the City’s General Plan. The Zoning Code and the General Plan function to promote the public convenience and general welfare of persons residing or working throughout the City. As the Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the Zoning Code and the General Plan, it is therefore determined that it will not adversely affect the public convenience or the general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood. 2. 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 uses and structures on the site as well as those on nearby sites will remain the same, and uninterrupted by the proposed wireless facility. Staff does not anticipate adverse impacts as a result of the proposal specifically because the wireless site will be roof mounted within existing and new enclosures and is consistent with the required development regulations in Section 9426. In addition, building mounted wireless facilities are common within commercial corridors and the proposal is designed to be compatible with other structures on site. The wireless facility will not negatively affect the current or future use of the building. 3. 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 site is approximately 41,194 square feet and improved with an existing 14,682 square foot building. Installation of the antennas and various related equipment will occur on the roof of the existing building within existing and new enclosures. The modified wireless facility will not interfere with the potential future expansion of the existing commercial building as long as the building complies with the applicable development standards. Therefore, the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the proposed use without being detrimental to the area. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. The proposed wireless communication facility will generate limited visits to the site for maintenance purposes only. The facility operates automatically without the presence of a working crew. The limited visits will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area as the capacity of the surrounding streets and highways can accommodate the trips generated by the maintenance of the facility.

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 June 29, 2022, the applicant submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the modification of an existing wireless communication facility; and, B. On July 27, 2022, after a careful review of the submitted information, staff deemed the application incomplete; and, C. On February 1, 2023, the applicant resubmitted required documents for review; and, D. On February 27, 2023, staff deemed the application complete; and, E. On April 6, 2023, notice of the pending application was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500-feet of the was subject site; and, F. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on April 19, 2023, 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 the request is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and Section No. 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings regarding the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that: 1. The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the City’s General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof. A purpose of the Zoning Code is to regulate the use of land in order to promote the public’s health, safety, and the general welfare. The Conditional Use Permit allows Resolution No. Downey Planning Commission 7375 Stewart & Gray Road – PLN-22-00092 April 19, 2023 - Page 2 wireless communication facilities subject to specific standards listed in Subsection 9426.04(b) of the Downey Municipal Code. As the project conforms to the development standards applicable to wireless communication facilities, it is determined that the Conditional Use Permit will therefore not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code. General Plan Policy 2.7.1 states: “Provide adequate utility and communications infrastructure”. Furthermore, General Plan Program 2.7.1.2 states: “Promote the expansion of communication networks to meet the needs of city residents, business and other land uses”. This project will expand and improve the communication network and fulfill the aforementioned program. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the City’s General Plan. The Zoning Code and the General Plan function to promote the public convenience and general welfare of persons residing or working throughout the City. As the Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the Zoning Code and the General Plan, it is therefore determined that it will not adversely affect the public convenience or the general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood. 2. 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 uses and structures on the site as well as those on nearby sites will remain the same, and uninterrupted by the proposed wireless facility. Staff does not anticipate adverse impacts as a result of the proposal specifically because the wireless site will be roof mounted within existing and new enclosures and is consistent with the required development regulations in Section 9426. In addition, building mounted wireless facilities are common within commercial corridors and the proposal is designed to be compatible with other structures on site. The wireless facility will not negatively affect the current or future use of the building. 3. 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 site is approximately 41,194 square feet and improved with an existing 14,682 square foot building. Installation of the antennas and various related equipment will occur on the roof of the existing building within existing and new enclosures. The modified wireless facility will not interfere with the potential future expansion of the existing commercial building as long as the building complies with the applicable development standards. Therefore, the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the proposed use without being detrimental to the area. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. The proposed wireless communication facility will generate limited visits to the site for maintenance purposes only. The facility operates automatically without the presence of a working crew. The limited visits will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area as the capacity of the surrounding streets and highways can accommodate the trips generated by the maintenance of the facility.
