Commission approves temporary parking reduction for women’s residential treatment facility
Summary
The Planning Commission approved Modification Permit Case No. 1364, allowing the Los Angeles Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse to reserve 54 of 66 required parking stalls to create an outdoor recreation area at 10425 S. Painter Ave.; vote 5-0.
The Santa Fe Springs Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve a temporary modification permit allowing the Los Angeles Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LA CADA) to reserve 54 of the 66 parking stalls now required for its facility at 10425 South Painter Avenue and convert that area into outdoor recreation space for residents.
Associate planner Claudia Jimenez told commissioners the site is a single parcel (APN 8011-014-024) of about 46,200 square feet (roughly 1.06 acres) with an 11,047-square-foot building. A September 2023 zoning update added “care service facilities” to the parking standards; as a result the facility now qualifies as supportive housing and requires 66 stalls — 60 for beds and 6 for staff at maximum staffing levels. The applicant requested to reserve 54 stalls so the back area can be used for playgrounds, exercise and gardening for residents and their children.
The applicant’s representative said the facility has operated at the Painter Avenue location since 1998 under earlier conditional-use approvals. LA CADA staff and an on-site program director explained the facility houses women and their children, with up to 25 participants and as many as 40 children at a time, and that residents are transported to the site by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) rather than driving themselves. Staff described visitation as limited and primarily occurring on weekends or during morning hours that coincide with daytime staffing.
City staff said the site currently provides 12 parking stalls; staffing is organized in three shifts (morning, swing and graveyard) and the facility reports limited overlap in peak parking demand. Staff also reported there have been no parking complaints to code enforcement for this location. The planning presentation noted existing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stalls are on site; staff said ADA compliance triggered by tenant improvements would be confirmed during building permit review.
After questions about fencing, striping and the potential for on-street parking by visitors, commissioners moved to approve Modification Permit Case No. 1364 and adopt Resolution No. 280-2025 subject to conditions attached to the resolution. Roll-call vote was recorded as 5-0. A 14-day appeal period was announced.
