Planning Commission upholds appeal, directs resolution to approve Tire House site plan after inspections
Summary
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to direct staff to bring a resolution approving the appeal for the Tire House property (site plan review 4-15) after staff reported the property had met conditions except for one required ADA sign.
The Gardena Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 4 to direct staff to return with a resolution approving the appeal from the owner of the Tire House property at 61818 W. Redondo Beach Boulevard and to overturn the director’s decision to revoke Site Plan Review 4-15.
Staff presented a progress report showing most outstanding conditions had been met following inspections: trash enclosure and landscaping permits received final approval, wrought-iron fencing removed, wheel stops installed, and the trash enclosure completed with a roof. At the time of the most recent inspection, one remaining item prevented finalization of the accessible-parking work—the required ADA sign had not been posted. Building staff told the commission the accessible-parking issue could be resolved through a follow-up inspection.
Planning staff recommended the commission find the owner had met the earlier conditions and to direct staff to prepare a resolution to approve the applicant’s appeal and grant final approvals. Commissioner Sherman moved to direct staff to bring back the resolution; a second was received and the motion passed 5-0 by roll call (Vice Chair Reitschher, Commissioner Langley, Commissioner Sherman, Commissioner Khan and Chair Henderson voted yes).
Staff told the commission that the director’s intent to revoke the site plan review had been issued Jan. 19, 2024, the appellant’s case had been continued several times and inspections on Jan. 16 and Jan. 23 showed progress. A building inspection conducted Jan. 31 finalized the trash enclosure and landscaping permit; the accessible parking had not been finaled that day. A follow-up inspection Feb. 3 again found the ADA sign missing, but staff reported Feb. 4 that the building inspector had since finaled the trash enclosure and that the wrought-iron fence had been removed.
The commission’s action was limited to directing staff to draft the approving resolution for a future meeting; staff said the resolution to approve the appeal would be returned to the commission at the next meeting for formal adoption.
