Cypress, California, known as Conditional Use Permit No C-174 The Secretary
of the Commission read Staff Report PC#64-71 which outlined the nature of the
request and the staff recommendation. The Chairman asked if anyone in the
audience wished to speak for or against this proposed conditional use permit
Reverend H D Yeo addressed the Commission as Pastor of the Bible
Baptist Chruch regarding the amount of traffic generated on the local streets
He stated that although the congregation would consist of approximately 200
persons this would not necessarily mean that there would be 200 cars requiring
access to the Church Since the church would serve the area most of the people
would like to be able to walk to the church, thus eliminating most of the
traffic along the streets. He also stated that the distance from Rome to
Walker Street is only about 50 feet and this would provide sufficient access to
the church He also stated that he felt there was sufficient access from Rome
Avenue to Grindlay Street
Mr Penland owner of the property, addressed the Commission stating that
the property is laid out in such a way that it would be hard to develop in any
other way than a chruch and he felt that a church in this area would be an asset
to the neighborhood as well as the community. He also stated that access can be
gained from the church from both Grindlay Street and Rome Street without too
much difficulty
The City Attorney addressed the Commission reviewing the items that the
Commission is required to consider on a conditional use permit and stated that
although Mr. Penland's property layout may create a hardship on him, this was
not the facts that were before the Commission at this time and could not be
considered in the approval or denial of said conditional use permit.

Mr Mackwell, 5221 Canterbury Drive, Cypress
Mr Gilbert Smith, Canterbury Drive, Cypress
Mr. Anthony Nieto Canterbury Drive Cypress
Mr Darrell Clement, 5231 Canterbury Drive, Cypress, addressed the
Commission stating that in addition to the traffic condition created by
this church, he did not feel that a church in this area would enhance
the neighborhood He further stated that he felt the City should keep within
the R-1 uses in this area and only by doing this could there be any type
of development which would prove to be an asset to the neighborhood
Mr Albert Norris, Canterbury Drive, Cypress addressed the Commission
in opposition to the conditional use permit for traffic reasons, but he also
stated that in allowing such a use in a residential zone to one applicant
the City would also have to make exceptions to others who wished to make
such a change
Mr Marvin Ringland, Gibson Realty Company, addressed the Commission as
a representative of the applicant and stated that he understood that Rome
Avenue would be extended and there would be a commercial zone behind Rome
Avenue. He further stated that he understood that there would be access
from Rome Avenue to the commercial use
The Secretary of the Commission advised that originally the City Council
had zoned this property C 2 but had changed 100 feet of the east side of
Rome Avenue and zoned it R-1 to create a buffer so that there would not be
any commercial openings onto Rome Avenue
Reverend Yeo again addressed the Commission stating that traffic to
the church would not be an every day occurrence, but would be necessary only two
days out of the week and he did not feel that this would create too much
of a traffic problem.

the Chairman declared the public hearing closed

to change the zone from R-1 (One -family Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial)
on property generally located at the northeast corner of Ball Road and

Cypress, and Robert W Helms, 2790 Atlantic Blvd , Long Beach, California,
known as Zone Change No Z-120 The Secretary of the Planning Commission
read Staff Report PC#64-83 which outlined the nature of the request and the
staff recommendation for denial The Vice Chairman asked if anyone in the
audience wished to speak for or against the proposed change of zone
October 15, 1964
Mr R W Helms, applicant, addressed the Commission stating his
Attorney, Mr Proudfoot, would represent him. Mr. Proudfoot addressed the
Commission speaking in favor of the proposed zone change
Mr Gerald Perkins, 3521 Farnham Ave , Long Beach, addressed the
Commission speaking in opposition to the proposed zone change stating that
there was a fertilizer plant located on the property at this time and that
if this change would allow it to remain, he was against the zone change
The Commission informed Mr Perkins that the change of zone to C-2 would not
allow the fertilizer plant to remain as it is not a permitted use in the C-2
zone even under a conditional use permit
Mr Robert Cable, 8381 Hendrie, Long Beach addressed the Commission
stating a petition had been presented to the Commission containing over one
hundred names of people residing in the Country Square tract in Long Beach
and some residents of Cypress, stating they were opposed to the zone change
until the fertilizer plant is removed, after that they would be in favor of
the zone change
Mr David Gill, 3460 Farnham Ave. Long Beach, addressed the Commission
stating that in the staff report it was stated that there was no present
commercial zoning in the area of the proposed zone change. Mr. Gill stated
that on the corner of Ball and Bloomfield in Los Alamitos there are plans
for a small shopping center to be erected, therefore, he felt there was
sufficient commercial zoning in the area and no need for additional.
Mr Lee Goldin, Larwin Company, 8670 Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills,
addressed the Commission stating he was speaking not in favor, nor opposed
to the zone change but merely to correct the record He stated he believed
Mr. Proudfoot had stated, in giving reasons for the zone change that
there was no zoning in the area which permitted commercial development
Mr Goldin pointed out that there were three acres in the City of Cypress
directly across the street, on the southeast corner of Ball and Bloomfield
and seven acres to the north on the southeast corner of Orange and Bloomfield
that were presently zoned PD (Planned Development) under a conditional use
permit that does permit commercial development in the two locations mentioned,
which, combined, consist of ten acres. He further stated that the PD zone
and conditional use permit had been approved showing these two locations as
commercial developments.
Mr Frank Visca, 5782 Lime Ave , Cypress addressed the Commission
asking what uses were permitted in the C-2 zone
The City Attorney read the appropriate section of the Zoning Ordinance
listing all uses permitted in the C-2 zone
Mr. Visca then asked if it was permissible to ask the applicants what
they planned to put in the center
Mr. Proudfoot replied that they had been working on the plans and talking
to prospective tenants, but, until they obtained the zoning they could not
make definite plans
Mr Visca then stated he was opposed to the zone change, stating the
city should develop the commercial zones in existence and follow the
Master Plan
Mr. Robert Cable, 8381 Hendrie St , Long Beach, addressed the Commission
asking that the letter attached to the petition be read for the public's
information
The staff stated that the letter would be read at the end of the
public hearing
October 15, 1964
Mr Harry Bryan, 8370 Hendrie St , Long Beach, addressed the Commission
asking why the property had been zoned R-1 and not C 2 at the beginning
The Vice Chairman replied that at the beginning the Council had zoned
almost the entire city R-1.
Mr Bryan stated that the particular triangle in question appeared
to have been zoned that way because the fertilizer plant was located there.
The Commission replied that the property had not been zoned R-1 for
that reason, but all the land surrounding it had been rezoned from the R-1
zone to some other use, leaving the triangle R-1
The Secretary of the Commission read the letter accompanying the
petition
Mrs. Richard Flisik, 8371 Littlefield St. Long Beach addressed the
Commission asking why Mr. Garcia was continuing to operate the fertilizer
plant
The City Attorney reported the status of the proceedings and action
taken by the city He informed the public that Mr Garcia had been served
with an injunction prohibiting the importation of any raw materials the
week before the Planning Commission meeting.
Mrs Flisik stated that pictures had been taken the day before the
meeting, October 14th, of raw materials being imported
The Vice Chairman and staff informed Mrs Flisik and the other people
objecting because of the fertilizer plant that the Planning Commission
had no jurisdiction over the removal of the fertilizer plant, the
removal was in the hands of the City Council, the Commission was only
considering the zone change
Mr. Harry Bryan 8370 Hendrie St., Long Beach, asked if the zone were
changed to C-2 would a fertilizer plant be permitted with a conditional
use permit in the zone
The City Attorney informed Mr Bryan that it would not be possible
to obtain a conditional use permit for this use in a C-2 zone
Mr. Proudfoot replied to Mr Goldin's comment regarding commercial
zoning in the area, stating that he meant there was no commercial zoning,
(C-1 or C-2) as such in the area, however, he stated commercial could be
developed under the Planned Development (PD) zone, but, that this did not
guarantee that the property would be developed commercially He further
stated that developing the subject property as commercial would be the only
concern of the property owners, whereas the Planned Development commercial
areas were a part of a larger development which would be that developer's
primary concern.
Mr Proudfoot further stated that he felt the concern over the fertilizer
plant was irrelevant to the zone change since Mr Garcia would have no
more right to operate the fertilizer plant in the C-2 than he would in the
R-1 He further stated that the property could not be developed C-2 as long
as the fertilizer plant remained.
Mr. Harry Bryan, 8370 Hendrie St , Long Beach, addressed the Commission
stating that the function of any government is to protect the public health
and safety and the fertilizer plant was a definite health hazard and should
be taken into consideration before any action was taken on the zone change
The Vice Chairman advised Mr. Bryan that the Planning Commission had
no jurisdiction over the fertilizer plant, the City Council did, and it was
being considered by them
Mr. Gerald Perkins, 3521 Farnham, Long Beach addressed the Commission
stating there was an elementary school constructed opposite the subject
property and he felt if the property were zoned commercially it would create
a great traffic hazard for the children attending the school
October 15, 1964
Mr. Proudfoot addressed the Commission stating that the property set
aside for commercial use in the PD zoned property was between the school and
the subject property and he felt the additional zoning of the subject property
would not increase the traffic too much over what would be created by the
commercial development in the PD zone
Mr Frank Visca, 5782 Lime Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Commission
asking if the consideration of the zone change was proper at this time
with the impending lawsuit.
The City Attorney advised Mr Visca that any impending lawsuit would
have no effect on the granting or denial of a zone change.
Mr Robert Cable, 8381 Hendrie St , Long Beach, addressed the Commission
stating that the petition signers were requesting withholding of action on
the zone change until the fertilizer plant was removed, He then asked the
Planning Commission to hold up approval of the zone change as requested by
the petition signers
There being no further written communications and no further oral
protests, the Vice Chairman declared the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Doerr stated that the existing condition on the property
was not going to influence the Commission as to whether they rezone the
property or do not rezone the property He also stated that he would not
take the petition into consideration in making his decision on the zone
change Commissioner Doerr further stated that the Commission's primary
responsibility was to the citizens of Cypress, the petition only contained
a few signatures of residents of Cypress, and stated the law prevents the
Planning Commission from granting any use that would endanger the health
or safety of the public, therefore he felt the arguments given against the
zone change were not valid reasons for denying such change of zone
Commissioner Harvey stated the Commission's decision should be based on
whether a commercial development would be practical at the proposed location,
not the applicant's intent or existing conditions on the property
Commissioner Harvey pointed out that in a previous application the question
arose as to when the applicant planned to develop the property and at that
time the City Attorney had advised the Commission that that fact should have
no effect on the Planning Commission's decision
Commissioner Worley stated he felt that the applicants should be given
a chance to develop some commercial in the area that although there was
existing commercial zoning, nothing had developed He also stated that,
if they do not develop within a reasonable length of time, the zone could be
changed again
Commissioner Hamilton stated he did not believe this was the proper
way to grant zoning He stated he felt they should show plans and have
more information on what they are going to develop and when, before the
zoning is granted, not zone the property and wait to see what happens He
further stated his primary concern was to see something develop.
Commissioner Worley stated that was also his primary concern
It was moved by Commissioner Doerr and seconded by Commissioner Hamilton

the City Council denial of Zone Change No. Z-120 by the following called

were presented. The Secretary of the Planning Commission reviewed the
action taken with regard to the carports at the time the tentative map was
approved He further stated that the staff had studied the elevations and
it was their recommendation that some carports of this type be allowed in the
development, but not for the total development
The Commission asked the Building Superintendent his feelings on the
safety and desirability of the carports as proposed The Superintendent
replied that the carports were structurally sound, however the structure,
architecturally, does not fit in with the appearance of the units.

at the time the carports were approved for the tentative map, they did not
understand that they would have to obtain approval of the elevations,

with the carports the elevation of the carports was different from the
elevation under consideration at this time, and the Commission approved the
carports on the basis of the original elevation, believing it would be

REPORT FROM SECRETARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION RE: UNION OIL SIGN AT
VALLEY VIEW & CERRITOS:
The Secretary of the Commission presented a report from the staff
regarding the status of the sign for the Union Oil Service Station at Valley
View and Cerritos. He reported that a thorough investigation was made by
the staff to determine if the sign was in violation of the height limitation
at the time it was constructed. The investigation determined that there
was a time between the amending of the Zoning Ordinance and the adoption of
the Sign Ordinance when, in effect, there were no restrictions on the height
of signs It was during this time that the sign company obtained the building
permit for the sign.
The report required no action from the Commission.

be done to allow some type of thoroughfare for bicycle users He said that
he had spoken to some developers and they said that they would be happy to
go along with some type of plan that could be worked out to insure the
safety of bicycle users He suggested that instead of parkways, the
City might consider some type of cinder pathway for bicycles or alleyways
where the children would not have to cope with the traffic

that this matter be referred to the staff for review and consideration and

WRITTEN COMMUNICATION FROM NORTH ORANGE COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE DISTRICT

A written communication from the North Orange County Junior College
District requesting the Planning Commission to review and make recommendations
on a site for a junior college to be generally located east of Valley View
Street, north of Orange Avenue, west of Holder Street, and south of Lincoln
Avenue The Secretary of the Planning Commission read Staff Report PC#64-98
which outlined the nature of the request, the recommended conditions and
the staff recommendation of approval. The Vice Chairman asked if anyone
in the audience wished to speak for or against the proposed site
Mr. Richard Owen, 1665 So Brobkhurst, Anaheim, addressed the Commission
asking if the district would be required to pay drainage fees on the property
The Secretary of the Commission informed Mr Owen that payment of
drainage fees was one of the recommended conditions, however, in reading
the staff report he had missed reading that condition.
Mr Owen further asked when the district would be required to pay
the drainage fees.
The Secretary replied that the drainage fees would have to be paid
at the time construction begins
Commissioner Hamilton inquired as to why condition number 3 required
an access with a total width of 60' for the first 660' west of Holder and
then 30' from that point to the end of the R-4 area
The Secretary of the Commission informed Commissioner Hamilton that
if any land were taken from the R-4 lot for the access it would reduce
width to less than 68', making it impossible to develop the property as
zoned Therefore the staff felt the total width should be taken from the
school site for the first 660' west of Holder
November 19, 1964
Commissioner Harvey asked if a layout of the school site was available
and why only one access was recommended on Valley View Street
The Secretary of the Planning Commission replied that the district did
not yet have a layout of the school site He further stated that Valley View
Street was a major arterial highway therefore the staff would like to limit
the traffic because of the great amount of traffic projected for Valley View.
Commissioner Baroldi stated that he felt there should be more access
on Valley View, especially if the stadium for the school were located just
east of Valley View, therefore he was opposed to condition number 5 as
recommended
Mr Robert Kay, 1665 So Brookhurst, Anaheim, addressed the Commission
stating he agreed with Commissioner Baroldi that there should be more access
allowed from Valley View Street
The Secretary reminded the Commission that there would be ingress and
egress on other streets, specifically Orange and Holder Street, which he
felt would handle the traffic congestion after sporting events.
Commissioner Harvey stated that he believed the discussion of the
traffic problem on Valley View was premature in that there was no layout
of the site available to see if the stadium would be placed in such a manner
as to create traffic congestion at the access on Valley View He further
stated that he felt condition number 5 should be deleted at this time, but
should be considered at the time the plan is submitted to the Commission
Commissioner Worley stated he agreed with Commissioner Harvey's
statement.
Commissioner Baroldi stated he remembered that a school site for the
Centralia School District had at one time been approved for an area located
within this requested site and asked if it were included in this site
The Secretary of the Commission advised Commissioner Baroldi that the
North Orange County Junior College District had condemned the Centralia
School District site along with the remainder of the proposed site
It was moved by Commissioner Harvey, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton
and unanimously carried the North Orange County Junior College District be
informed that the school site proposed for the junior college was acceptable
and of the conditions that would be required by the City, as stated in
Staff Report PC#64-98 with the exception of condition number 5 limiting
access on Valley View Street. The following roll call vote was taken.

conditions

and exit, and the traffic problems that would be increased by the drive-in.
Mr Wright asked the Commission to consider the possibility of posting
a bond to cover the cost of constructing the 8' block wall fence on the
east side of the property to guarantee construction of the fence if and when
the property develops to the east, rather than building the fence at this
time when the property to the east is vacant

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE NO. 77, REQUIRING
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES:
The Vice Chairman announced this was the time and place for the public
hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance No 77
requiring underground utilities on all new subdivisions The Secretary of
the Commission read an additional staff report outlining the effect of the
proposed amendment and stating the staff's recommendation to adopt the
proposed amendment. The Vice Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished
to speak for or against the proposed amendment
Mr Allen Orsborne 800 N. Main St , Santa Ana, representing the
Homebuilder's Association, addressed the Commission, stating the
Homebuilder's Association was interested in the proposed amendment and he
had submitted a letter to the Secretary of the Planning Commission outlining
an amendment recommended by the Association He then asked that the
Commission continue consideration of the amendment due to the fact that the
Homebuilder's Association and the utility companies were meeting to work
out a favorable solution to the conflict between them over underground
utilities.
There being no written communications and no oral protests the Vice
Chairman declared the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Baroldi addressed the Commission asking if all commercial
and other uses would be required to have underground utilities such as
the drive-in theater, if approved
The Secretary of the Commission explained that the proposed amendment
would only apply to subdivisions.
Mr. Jack McFadden, of the Edison Company, addressed the Commission
in answer to a question posed by Commissioner Baroldi regarding the cost
of requiring underground utilities in commercial centers He explained
that, at the present time, such a requirement would be quite expensive for
the commercial centers
Considerable discussion followed regarding the possibility of requiring
underground utilities in all other zones, as well as residential.
December 17, 19614
Commissioner Doerr stated he did not agree with the staff's feeling
that underground utilities should only be required in new subdivisions,
he felt that if they were required in residential areas, then they should
be required for commercial and industrial as well
Commissioner Hamilton stated he agreed with Commissioner Doerr and
stated that if underground utilities were not required in commercial and
industrial areas, but only in residential, it would not create a better
appearance in the City because some would be above ground, such as existing
subdivisions, and the rest would be underground
The Secretary of the Planning Commission stated that it was the staff's
feeling that this requirement should be made now so the remaining half of
the city not now developed could benefit from the amendment while the cost
of installing the facilities is less expensive
Commissioner Harvey asked about the feasibility of requiring all
underground utilities for commercial and industrial as well as residential
The Secretary of the Commission replied that at the present time the
voltage required for commercial and industrial would make it technically
impossible to require utilities to be underground
It was then moved by Commissioner Doerr to deny the amendment as drafted
and a new amendment be drafted to require all utilities to be underground in
all zones
The City Attorney stated that he was not prepared to say whether
it would be possible to require all underground utilities and asked the
Commission to continue the matter to allow time for research.
Commissioner Doerr withdrew his motion
Commissioner Doerr then moved to deny the proposed amendment
The motion died for lack of a second
It was then moved by Commissioner Harvey, seconded by Commissioner
Hamilton, and unanimously carried to continue consideration of the
proposed amendment regarding underground utilities until the next meeting
of the Commission, January 7, 1965. The following roll call vote was
taken:
AYES: 6 COMMISSIONERS. Baroldi, Doerr, Ferreira Hamilton Harvey,
and Worley
NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS• None
ABSENT• 1 COMMISSIONER Hickey

a recommendation from the Planning Commission on a proposed school site
consisting of 10 642 acres, generally located on the west side of Denni,
approximately 660' north of Orange Avenue, known as Elementary School
Site No. 14 was presented for consideration The Secretary of the Planning
Commission outlined the previous action taken and stated a representative
of the school district was present, as requested by the Commission at their
last meeting.
Mr. Martin Morrocco, representing the school district, addressed the
Commission offering to answer any questions the Commission might have
December 17, 1964
Commissioner Doerr asked Mr. Morrocco why the site was being proposed
in that location when there were two other school sites in the vicinity
Mr. Morrocco explained that the proposed site would serve the area
to the east as well as the quarter section in which it was located when it
is developed He further explained that one proposed site in the quarter
section to the east had been moved further east, therefore creating the
need for another school site in the area and the district felt this location
was the only feasible one to serve that area.
There was considerable discussion of the location of the site and
the need for it in the area.
Commissioner Doerr asked a member of the School Board, Mr Ralph
Stewart about the need for a high school in the city Mr Stewart advised
Commissioner Doerr that the Cypress School District had nothing to do with
high schools, that was under the jurisdiction of the Anaheim Union High
School District
Mr. Stewart asked Mr. Morrocco if the site under consideration was the
one the school board had condemned the previous evening at their meeting
Mr Morrocco stated that they had started eminent domain proceedings and
had tentative approval from the State
It was then moved by Commissioner Doerr, seconded by Commissioner
Baroldi and carried the Commission deny the location of the school site.
