plans were found acceptable and in conformance with City require-
ments and were signed off by the necessary departments except
the Planning Department. He stated there is no building mora-
torium in the project area, the delay is causing his client
economic hardship, and he requested that this be approved on an
urgency basis.

City Council Minutes
August 8, 1977
The Planning Director reported he did not authorize issuance of
the building permits for the plans which propose construction of
two tri-plexes on two lots in the Walker Street study area because
the Planning Commission recently recommended a General Plan amend-
ment which would change the land use designation of the subject
property to a lower density. He stated he was unaware when
the plans were presented to the City but they were presented
for his approval last week. He stated he discussed this matter
with the City Attorney who prepared an urgency ordinance.
Mayor Hudson recommended that this matter be considered with the
public hearing regarding General Plan Amendment #77-3 and Mr.
Murphy agreed to continue the matter.
Mr. John McCormack, 9130 Esther Street, Cypress, informed the
Council of a public hearing scheduled for September 12 to con-
sider County Zone Change ~77-9 which proposes to change the area
at the southwest corner of Lincoln and Moody, between Lincoln
and Camp Street, to C2 and R4 classifications. He read the
public hearing notice. He expressed concerns that any proposed
multiple-family development would have a severe environmental
impact by increasing parking problems and congestion in an area
that is already heavily populated.
The Planning Director pointed out the ten acres of unincorporated
property on the map and reported that the Planning Commission
considered the proposed zone change and transmitted its comments
to the County. The Commission recommended that, if the zone
change is to be approved, the C2 zone extend from Lincoln to
Bishop to conform with existing lot cDnfigurations and uses in
the area, and that the County apply the City's standards of
development and building densities in the R4 zone. The Planning
Director stated there was no indication of submittal of develop-
ment plans in conjunction with the proposed zone change.
COUNCIL~N LACAYO ARRIVED AT 7:22 P.M.
The Council requested that the Planning Director obtain more
information regarding the proposed zone change and present a
report for the August 22 meeting.
Mrs. Leland Place, 6572 Biak Street, Cypress, requested the
Council's assistance in upgrading the City-owned building used
by the Girls' Club at the northwest corner of Cerritos and Moody
Street. She reported the building is badly in need of repairs
and maintenance and the grounds require work and landscaping.
She stated the girls do not have time to do the work themselves
but with a one-time assistance by the City the Club could continue
maintenance afterwards.
It was moved by Councilwoman MacLain, seconded by Councilwoman
Sonju and unanimously carried to add the matter to the agenda
as Item 936, and request a full report for the August 22 meeting
on the Girls' Club lease of the building based on information
supplied by the Executive Director of the Club and a report
on what is involved in assisting the Club.
Mrs. Dennis Gates, 5572 Nelson Street, Cypress, indicated she
was present for Item 913 and the Council considered the matter
at this time. Mrs. Gates reported that the former owner of her
property posted a $350.00 cash deposit in 1965 to guarantee
future street improvements in front of the residence as a condi-
tion of adding a garage and family room. She felt she was
entitled to reimbursement of this cost since street improvements
were installed along Nelson under the Federally funded Housing
and Community Development Act.

Mayor Hudson presented a resolution of commendation to former
Youth Commissioner Angela Terry. Miss Terry thanked the Council

the opportunity to serve and stated she hoped that some of the
programs which the Commission initiated would be continued.
CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING AND EXTENSION OF LEASE FOR THE STRAIGHT
TALK CLINIC, INC..: The City Manager presented a report from the
Planning Director dated August 4 which indicated the lease exten-
sion for the building expired on July 30, 1977. Straight Talk
submitted a letter requesting that the Council authorize the
remainder of their $6,000 allocation either in cash or in-kind
services. Staff recommended that part of the allocation be set
aside to provide fencing between the Clinic and single-family
property.
Mr. Bill Ehrle, Director of Development for Straight Talk, stated
they would like an appropriation to meet certain needs such as
complying with State requirements to provide a handicapped ramp,
for installation of an irrigation system, and for facility
improvements. He offered to get bids on the items for the next
meeting.
It was moved by Councilwoman MacLain and seconded by Councilman
Lacayo to extend the agreement between the City and Straight
Talk Clinic for use of the original building for another 12 month
period to expire on July 30, 1978; authorize staff to provide
in-kind services which will provide for additional screen fencing
between the Straight Talk parking lot and the adjacent single-
family properties in an amount not to exceed $450.00; continue
making a determination for an additional appropriation to the
September 12 meeting; and request a summary report for the Septem-
ber 12 meeting on City cash contributions and in-kind services
over the past five years to Straight Talk, the Boys' Club, Girls'
Club and any other organization supported by the City. The motion
unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

PUBLIC HEARING RE: GENERAL PLAN AMEND~ENT NO. 77-3: Mayor Hudson
opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report.
The Planning Director presented a report dated August 3 indicating
the Planning Coramission on July 7, 1977 recoramended an amendment
to the Land Use Element of the General Plan which would change the
current designation of various parcels located within the Walker
Street Study area from the classifications of Commercial and
high-density Residential to a mixed designation providing for
low-density, single-family development, a medium-density resi-
dential development (maximum 10 units/acre) and commercial. The
Walker Street Study area, comprising 33 acres and 191 parcels,
is generally located on the east side of Walker Street south of
Lincoln and north of Orange Avenue. Mr. Hawley stated the Walker
Street Zoning Study report was mailed to all property owners and
hand delivered to all residents of the area. He presented maps
showing the current General Plan designations, current zoning,
and current land uses in the area. The zone classifications are
not in conformance with General Plan designations and do not
reflect the existing land uses. He stated street improvements
City Council Minutes
August 8, 1977
under the Housing and Community Development Act project will be
completed this year. He presented slides showing current uses,
housing and street conditions, and evidence of current residential
development and home and street improvements. He outlined four
alternatives proposed in the study, also staff's zoning recom-
mendations and those of the Planning Connnission. The Commission
recommended that the new Presley tract be reclassified to a low-
density single-family category and that the remainder of the
area be reclassified to a lower density multiple-family residential
category allowing ten units per acre except for the commercial
areas on Walker between Bishop and Camp Street which are recom-
mended to remain commercial. The Planning Director transmitted
various materials relating to the Planning Commission's action.
He reported that the commissioner who voted in opposition to the
amendment felt single-family development was acceptable on cul-
de-sac streets and that the through streets should be considered
for higher density residential use.
Vice Chairman Partin of the Planning Commission reported that
the dissenting commissioner did not support the motion because
of reservations regarding the designations. The commissioner
supported the residents who favored single-family development
on Bishop and Camp Streets. He felt the commissioner would have
supported the motion if he was assured that the lot sizes and
ten units per acre designation would allow single-family devel-
opment.
Mayor Hudson asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of General
Plan Amendment ~77-3.
Mr. Dan Trower, 5561 Karen Avenue, stated he supports the proposal
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mrs. Isabel Sendziak, 9060 Walker Street, stated she supports
the Commission's recommendations. She stated she purchased her
property for commercial use and two other property owners are
interested in commercial use of their property.
Mr. Crispin Gaspar, 9262 Walker Street, owner of the Three Brothers
Garage, stated he supported both of his properties remaining in
the commercial zone.
Mr. Howard Rowen, 5831 Shirl Street, asked if streets in the area
are standard width. The Planning Director stated they will be
with the street improvements under the Housing and Community
Development program. Mr. Rowen stated the amendment represents
a step in the right direction and will improve the area and he
felt 20 units per acre would crowd dwellings.
Mr. James LaDow, 5551 Citrus Court, stated he supports the amend-
ment as recommended by the staff. He stated there is a trend on
Karen to develop single-family homes.
Mayor Hudson asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
Mrs. Joan Renshaw, 9331 Peach, stated there is a bad traffic
and speeding problem at Karen and Peach. She supported the staff
recommendation for single-family on Karen Street. She felt
medium density residential would increase pedestrians and traffic
problems. She felt the zoning should not allow some commercial
areas to remain and exclude others and she recommended commercial
between Camp and Nelson along Walker.
Mrs. Lois Campbell, 9341 Peach, stated she opposes anything but
single-family development on Karen Street.
Mrs. Woolridge, 5561 Camp, supported a single-family designation
for Camp Street.

City Council Minutes
August 8, 1977
Mr. James Gahr, 5562 Bishop Street, requested that the entire
area be zoned R-1. He felt the commercial properties should not
be redesignated, but he stated it appeared commercial use was
unviable in this area. He felt the Planning Commission recom-
mendations were in opposition to the wishes of the people who
spoke at the meetings. He stated on-street parking is a Problem
now and would be worse with multiple-family zoning.
Mr. A. E. Arnold, 5541 Bishop Street, inquired about the proposed
zoning for the street. He felt it should remain as it is.
Mr. John Murphy pointed out that the amendment would permit
multiple-family housing and multiple-family units exist in the
area. He stated the dwellings they propose are compatible with
the area and will eliminate problems on the property such as
untenable dwellings and lack of on-site parking. Mr. Murphy
stated their units conform to the density requirements of the
existing ordinance as well as parking and setback requirements
and he requested that the building permits be issued.
Mr. Paul Fitch, 2120 Clover, Anaheim, outlined a history of his
involvement with the area beginning with negotiations with staff
regarding two properties on Newman Street. He stated negotiations
with the City for these properties started before the study was
initiated.
The Council inquired when building plans were submitted to the
City. The Planning Director stated the plans were submitted to
him approximately one month ago.
Mr. Doug Fitch felt their plans were submitted to the Building
Department about two months ago. He stated they reduced the
density of their units from seven to two tri-plexes to avoid
seeking a variance or conditional use permit.
The Planning Director stated that according to the Assistant
Planner the plans were submitted on July 18.
The Deputy City Attorney stated the matter under discussion
should be considered an informational item and is not an appro-
priate part of the public hearing.
Councilman Lacayo suggested that, because of the size of the
area, the Council take a tour to view lot sizes and potential
difficulties with development and continue the public hearing.
He stated he intended to propose a moratorium on building until
the Council determines zoning for the area. Mayor Hudson agreed
that the City should have established a moratorium. Council-
woman Sonju inquired about the ordinance prepared by the Deputy
City Attorney and the proposed ordinance was read by title.
The Council discussed continuing the hearing and the tour and
Councilwoman Sonju stated she would be absent at the August
22 meeting. The Council decided to take individual tours with
staff members prior to the September 12 meeting.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilwoman
Sonju to continue the hearing regarding General Plan Amendment
#77-3 to September 12.
Councilwoman MacLain requested a report on the original boundaries
of the multiple-family residential zoning for comparison with the
Commission's recommendations and how long this zoning has existed.

CO~TINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF A
PROGRAM FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS ALLOCATED UNDER REVENUE
SHARING: ~4ayor Hudson opened the hearin~ and asked for the
staff report.
Th~~ City Manager presented a report dated August 1 indicating
the hearing was continued from the July 25 meeting. He also
pr~sented a report dated July 22 from the Administrative Coor-
dinating Team which described the Team's recommendation to allo-
cate $100,000 of Revenue Sharing funds to continue to acquire
pr~perties adjacent to the Civic Center.
Co~]ncilwoman Sonju questioned whether residents need or want
an expansion of government and a regional center and she recom-
mended that a citizens' committee be formed to study the matter
before allocating funds for the acquisition. Mayor Hudson
supported the acquisition of properties and stated it enabled
the City to provide amenities which uphold property values and
stabilize the community.
It was moved by Mayor Hudson and seconded by Councilwoman MacLain
to continue the program of acquisition and allocate $100,000 of
Revenue Sharing funds for acquisition of property adjacent to
the Civic Center as it becomes available.
Councilman Lacayo inquired about the cost of maintaining parcels
which the City has acquired and favored acquiring parcel ~13
which is north of the Chamber of Commerce building in order to
own the entire corner. Mayor Hudson pointed out that if the
property is developed privately and then government expansion
becomes necessary in the future it would involve condemnation
of improved properties at a higher cost and possibly displacement
of residents.
Mayor Hudson asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the
proposed allocation of Revenue Sharing Funds. There was no one
wishing to speak in favor. He asked if anyone wished to speak
in opposition.

City Council Minutes
August 8, 1977
Ms. Bertha Rosen stated she approached the City regarding rezoning
of parcel #6 since the owner of the adjacent larger parcel #4
was interested in developing both for a business.
Mr. James Duncan, 9787 Rome Street, Cypress, objected to acquiring
more land to accommodate County offices and stated if built
here they would not be centrally located. He felt the City was
near the population limit and that the Civic Center had adequate
room for City functions. He objected to removing property from
the tax rolls and leaving it vacant. He suggested using the
Revenue Sharing funds to pay the debt on the Civic Center.
In response to Councilman Lacayo, the staff reported that the
maintenance cost for parcels owned by the City is about $150
annually for weed abatement and proper maintenance is a condition
of the lease agreement. Mrs. Rosen reported the tenant on parcel
#6 has been there for three and a half years and would like to
remain, and the property is well maintained.
Mr. Robert Simmons, 9882 Newport Way, Cypress, stated the property'
the City leases is on the tax rolls and provides the City with a
certain amount of income. He felt it would be shortsighted to
sacrifice the City's future needs by allowing the properties to
be privately developed.
Councilman Lacayo supported the acquisition of parcel #13 to
complete the corner at Walker and Orange but stated he opposed
County offices in a regional governmental center since this would
present problem's with out-of-town visitors and increase the need
for City services.
A substitute motion was moYed by Councilwoman MacLain and seconded
by Mayor Hudson to close the public hearing, authorize staff to
set aside t~e $100,000 of Revenue Sharing funds in a deposit and
coDtinue %he acquisition policy as suggested by staff, and defer
a determination regarding the regional governmental center until
the committee is formed, discusses the issues, and makes a recom-
mendation. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 3 COUNCILMEN: Lacayo,

Mayor Hudson waived the 11:30 p.m. adjournment time.
In regard to the regional governmental center committee, Council-
men Sonju, Hudson and Lacayo expressed interest in serving on the
committee. The Council decided to determine the number of members
based on the response of citizens who apply. Councilwoman Sonju
recommended that two Council members, the City Manager and Mr.
Duncan serve on the committee.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilwoman
MacLain and unanimously carried to direct the staff to advertise
for public members for the committee.
