The City Planner provided background information on this item.
The City Attorney discussed the State legal requirements for the project and indicated
that there is a State Housing Mandate from Sacramento to create the opportunity for
developers to build more housing units. He stated that the State Legislature has said it
is the policy that a local government not reject or make infeasible multi -unit
developments due to the State Legislature conclusion that there is a state -wide housing
shortage. He stated that the City Council has little discretion because of the mandates
3
330
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 27, 2017
and that they could ask the applicant for limited changes, however, cannot force
changes on the applicant that would make the project infeasible at its proposed density.
He spoke of the project parking requirements and that the applicant is required to have
Tess available parking than ordinarily required by the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about the State parking requirements and potential
mitigations with parking concerns.
The City Planner stated that parking requirements were not discussed during the review
process, and indicated that the applicant is providing more than the State requirement.
He commented that there is limited parking available on Lincoln Avenue and that there
would be assurance from the applicant that parking be maintained for tenants only.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about storage since garages are not provided.
The City Planner stated each unit includes limited storage and that a self- storage
business is located adjacent to the project.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat discussed safety concerns raised on social media and asked the
Chief of Police about department support of the community with new developments in
the City.
The Chief of Police stated that there are sufficient resources to absorb potential
increases and the need for public safety.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked if there are concerns regarding the development.
The Chief of Police responded no.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked the Orange County Fire Authority to address growth
development concerns.
O.C. Fire Authority Division Chief Steffen stated that the O.C. Fire Authority is
adequately staffed to handle the development, and spoke of recent enhancements that
would address a residency increase.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked if there would be concerns with regard to the O.C. Fire
Authority ability to serve the residency increase due to the development.
O.C. Fire Authority Division Chief Steffen responded no.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat discussed potential impacts to the schools and that the Cypress
schools within the Cypress School District have availability for 1,186 students, and that
potentially one or more of the three closed schools would reopen. He spoke of his
meeting with Cypress School District representatives and that there were no concerns
raised.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
and what is required of the City in order to achieve the requirements and potential
impacts to the City.
The City Attorney stated that RHNA is the affordable unit estimates required by all
California cities and counties, and that it is a planning mandate, not a construction
mandate or building quota. He spoke of inclusionary housing and that some California
cities have adopted ordinances to increase the number of low- income households in
their city.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked if RHNA would take the development of medium, low, and
very low cost housing units from being at the discretion of the developer, to mandatory
for all projects.
4
331
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 27, 2017
The City Attorney responded that RHNA would mandate whatever level was in the
ordinance to be included in those particular projects and that this matter could be
considered at the upcoming City Council Strategic Plan Update session. He clarified
that RHNA would not impact present development because the regulations are not in
place, and that the City has been following State mandates.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat clarified that the City would not be able to restrict the development
of low, very low, and medium income housing to only the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan
and that it would have to be city -wide, and that any development coming forward would
have a mandate of including low, medium, or very low income housing.
The City Attorney responded that it would have to be evaluated city -wide, and not in a
particular location.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about the traffic study and if that would be a normal
requirement.
The City Planner responded that traffic studies are not required of projects exempt
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and that it was required of this
project in order to study intersection impacts.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about the findings of the traffic study.
The City Planner indicated that there would be sufficient excess capacity at the
surrounding intersections and that there would be a minimal increase in the morning
and peak hour trips.
Mayor Pro Team Peat asked if the Traffic Engineer would evaluate the intersection flow
and designate a rating, and that all but two intersections currently operate at a least -
impacted rating and would remain at that level.
The City Planner responded in the affirmative.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked if the other traffic intersection traffic impact levels would
remain at their levels.
The City Planner responded in the affirmative.
Council Member Berry commented on the State mandates and asked about the three
concessions made by the developer.
The City Planner stated the number of concessions is dictated by State law based on
the level of affordability and percentage of units provided for each project. He indicated
that the developer is requesting one concession of carports in lieu of garages and a
reduced parking standard that is allowed under State law.
Council Member Berry asked if the number of affordable housing units could be
modified based on a developer's economic plan.
The City Planner responded no, and clarified that a developer would be required to
maintain the same number of affordable housing units for a period of 55 years and that
there would be legal documentation citing the requirement. He stated that the staff
would monitor the affordable housing units on an annual basis.
Council Member Berry asked for clarification regarding vehicle left -hand turns out of the
development onto Lincoln Avenue and what would negate modifications.
The City Planner indicated that staff would consider complaints and accidents, and if
needed, a left turn prohibited sign would be placed at the driveway, and that the
installation of a traffic signal would likely not be warranted.
Council Member Berry asked about the eastbound and westbound left turn pockets.
5
332
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 27, 2017
The City Engineer stated that the westbound left turn is approximately 35 feet and the
eastbound left turn is approximately 160 feet, and that there is a 60 foot transition
between them. He stated that staff determined the capacity is sufficient by providing an
approximately three -car stacking entry for the project.
Council Member Berry asked if the left turn pockets would be sufficient at peak drive
times.
The City Engineer responded in the affirmative.
Council Member Berry asked why an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was not
required of the developer.
The City Planner responded that this project is categorically exempt under CEQA
because it is less than five acres and not impactful on traffic.
Council Member Berry asked if an EIR would be required if the project exceeded five
acres.
The City Planner responded in the affirmative, and clarified that either an EIR or a
Negative Declaration would be required.
Council Member Berry expressed concern with not having an EIR on a former
automotive repair site.
The City Planner stated that Phase I Environmental Analysis was done by the
developer with findings that concluded no significant contamination of the site.
The City Manager asked about soil testing done by the applicant and commented that
there would not have been a CEQA requirement if the project was more than five acres.
The City Planner responded in the affirmative.
The City Manager stated that soil examination is exempt from the CEQA process.
Council Member Berry asked about the likelihood of parking impacts to surrounding
uses on Lincoln Avenue.
The City Planner stated that alternative parking is on Lincoln Avenue and east and west
of the project site, and that it would be monitored by the on -site property management.
Council Member Johnson thanked staff for their assistance with information on the
project, and asked about environmental and safety impacts to the residents of the
project from surrounding uses.
The City Planner responded that there would not be airborne emissions from the
adjoining business and that noise would be minimal.
Council Member Johnson asked about the hours of operation for the surrounding
businesses.
The City Planner indicated that the surrounding businesses work through the night.
Council Member Johnson asked about adequate drainage and sewage.
The City Planner stated that a Water Quality Management Plan was conducted for the
project and that a sewer study would be done in conjunction with the plan check
process.
Council Member Yarc asked about the six recognized environmental conditions stated
in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report and potential future liability as a
result of those conditions.

333
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 27, 2017
The City Planner stated that the conditions must be included in the report and that they
are at the surface level and would be mitigated as part of the project.

and spray booths on the site, and future health liability concerns.
The City Attorney responded that the City would not be liable and that the current and
new property owner would have potential liability in the future.
Council Member Yarc asked about requirements for a mitigated traffic report.
The City Engineer responded that the inquiry would have to be referred to a traffic
consultant.
The City Attorney stated that other jurisdictions have done mitigated traffic reports for
massive projects that create road widenings. He stated that a Statement of Overriding
Consideration could be done to allow projects to move forward.
Council Member Yarc asked about RHNA compliance and State enforcement.
The City Attorney stated that there is not a RHNA construction quota mandate on cities,
however if there is not a housing element that satisfies State law, a developer could sue
for the right to build a certain project and the city would lose eligibility for various State
and Federal funding that is contingent upon the compliance with all laws.
Council Member Yarc asked about cities that have been penalized.
The City Attorney responded there are several that have been settled with fines and
payment of attorney fees, and that there is existing litigation.
Council Member Yarc asked if the State of California has sued a city.
The City Attorney responded that the State Department of Housing and Community
Development has a listing of California cities and their compliance. He stated that he is
not aware of an enforcement practice.
Council Member Yarc asked if the City of San Jose inclusionary low- income housing
decision is limited to only that city.
The City Attorney stated that the California Supreme Court decision for the City of San
Jose inclusionary housing ordinance was for the sale of developments and it had a fee
alternative for the developer.
Council Member Yarc asked about the open carport parking and safety enhancements.
The City Planner stated that the City Council could add a condition to require the
installation of a security system by the developer.
Council Member Yarc asked about additional setbacks.

the number of units.
