the possibility of the same situation arising in the future with other

REPORT FROM SECRETARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION RE: PROPOSED NEW C-3 ZONING
DISTRICT.
The Secretary reported that a portion of the proposed new "C-3"
Zoning District had been referred back to the Planning Commission by the
City Council, who felt that a chain link fence should be required for
Section 113 9 of the new section, outdoor storage areas, rather than the
solid wall as approved by the Commission, to allow for better police
protection for the storage areas.
Discussion followed regarding the various types of fencing materials
that could be used.
Each Commissioner stated his feelings in respect to the type of fence
that should be required.
A suggestion was made to report to the City Council the Planning
Commission's feelings that the fence should be a solid fence rather than
a chain link fence, possibly one which would allow partial vision into the
property but would obscure the vision of the general public, some type of
screening wall other than chain link.
It was then moved by Commissioner Hickey, seconded by Commissioner
De Pietro and unanimously carried the Secretary of the Planning Commission
write a report expressing the feelings of the Planning Commission in regard
to this matter which would be a six foot (6') high wall that would obscure
vision from the general public but also allowing for police vision,
possibly ornamental to enhance the beauty of the area, but definitely
advising the Council that the Planning Commission was against a chain
link or wire mesh fence
Commissioner De Pietro commented that he felt this policy should be
carried through in all zones

for or against the proposed use
There being no written communications and no oral protests, the
Chairman declared the public hearing closed
Commissioner Hickey asked what areas the proposed school would service
The Secretary replied that in conversations with Mr Morocco, of the
Cypress School District, Mr Morocco had indicated to him that the proposed
school would serve the residential tract to the west and might be used to
relieve some of the load from the Elizabeth Dickerson School by taking some
children from the east side of Valley View to attend the proposed school
Mr. Robert C. Kay, 1665 So Brookhurst, Anaheim, addressed the Commission
at the request of the Secretary, reviewing some of the background regarding
how Title Insurance Company, owner of a portion of the land and the
Cypress School District had worked out an agreement which would
allow the construction of a connecting roadway between Cathy Avenue and
Mildred Lane.
Commissioner Harvey asked the Secretary if the children from the
area east of Valley View would be transported by bus to the new school.
The Secretary replied he did not know for a fact
June 3, 1965
Commissioner De Pietro stated it was the overall plan of the School
District not to bus children if at all possible, but he believed they
probably would bus them for a period of time
Commissioner Hickey asked about the children crossing Valley View
Street, which was a major highway He stated he did not feel there should
be a crossing and asked if the staff felt there should be
The Secretary replied that the staff did not feel there should be
a crossing on Valley View between Cerritos and Ball
The Secretary stated he felt that the School District did not want to
take children from the area east of Valley View across Valley View to school,
however, it was a matter of necessity He further stated the location of
the crossing had rot been decided, but he had doubts as to its location in
the middle of Valley View between Ball and Cerritos, he felt it would most
likely be at the intersection of Cerritos and Valley View where there would
be a signal and possibly even a crossing guard as well
Commissioner De Pietro asked the Secretary if he had discussed with
Mr Morocco, Assistant Superintendent of the Cypress School District,
the length of time they would transport the children from the area east
of Valley View by bus to the new school
The Secretary replied he had not had any indication from Mr Morocco
regarding the transporting of the children in that area
Commissioner De Pietro then stated he felt he was right in stating that
most of the children on that side of Valley View would be transported by bus,
therefore he didn't feel it was much of a problem
Commissioner Hickey stated that Commissioner De Pietro and the Secretary
of the Commission were expressing feelings or opinions, not facts, and he would
like some facts concerning the crossing of Valley View
Commissioner Harvey stated nothing could be settled in regard to this
matter without someone from the School District being at the meeting to give
these facts and answer the questions for them.
Commissioner De Pietro stated he felt the City had a very capable
staff in the School District office who were aware of this problem and
the City staff was aware of the problem and he felt could find some solution

at the next meeting of the Commission.
Commissioner De Pietro asked the City Attorney the procedure the
Commission must follow in order to go into an Executive Session
The City Attorney replied that they could make a motion to to into
Executive Session, however, there were only two circumstances under which
the Commission could go into Executive Session, as follows:
1. To discuss the matter of dealing with the hiring, discharging,
or disciplining of personnel
2 Discussion of pending litigation against or by the City
If the matter falls within either of these categories, the motion would be
valid.
The Chairman reminded the Commission that there was a motion on the
floor regarding notification of the School District to ask them to have
a representative present at the next meeting and, if it is not possible,

then asked for a second to the motion.
Hearing none, Chairman Harvey announced that the motion had died for
lack of a second
June 3, 1965
Commissioner De Pietro then addressed the Commission stating it was
his feeling that the members of the Planning Commission would benefit if
they worked closer with the different agencies in the City He then
stated he felt if the information desired was of such importance, he would
recommend to the staff that the information be brought to the members of the
Commission so the Commission wouldn't hold up the School District He then
stated he felt the delay at this meeting could have been eliminated if the
staff or staffs involved worked closer together
Chairman Harvey stated he agreed with Commissioner De Pietro that
the problems that came up could have been resolved very easily if a
representative of the School District had been present He then stated
it seemed to him that if it were a matter of urgency, a member of the
School District would be at the meeting to answer questions presumably
that would come up He then asked Mr. Putnam, the Secretary of the Commission,

property owner could apply for a zone change and further explained that in

Commercial Office Needs Report", on file in the Planning Department.
Mr Frey then asked the Commission to consider the possibility of
leaving the zoning P -D (Planned Development) in their deliberation regarding
this zone change
Mr Rod MacDonald Oxford Drive, addressed the Commission stating he
felt if offices were constructed behind his home the value of his property

Ordinance No 90, listing the C-0 (Commercial Office) uses allowed in said
zone, at the request of the Commission

zoning to the rear.

uses on Wicker Drive

to consider the request for rezoning He then advised Mrs. Knutzen to
contact the Secretary of the Planning Commission at the City Hall to discuss
the matter

change on the south side of Orange in Exhibit "C" would be developed

year basis and not a fifteen year basis as mentioned by Mr Owen in his
objection to Exhibit "C".

Rezoning on Southwest Corner of Ball Road and Valley View Street:
Commissioner Baroldi inquired as to when the zoning on the southwest
corner of Ball Road and Valley View Street had been changed from R-1 (One -
family Residential) to P -D (Planned Development)
The Secretary of the Commission explained that the City Council, at
their last meeting, had enacted an emergency ordinance changing the zone,
using the P -D zone as a method of giving the City control over the zoning,
due to the fact a conditional use permit is required for any development
in said P -D zone, and allowing time for the staff to prepare the new Planned
Commercial zone which would reserve the property for commercial development
for a major shopping center within the City
Review of General Plan:
Commissioner De Pietro inquired as to how the Commission could review
the General Plan
The Secretary informed the Commission he had been working on a review
of the General Plan, however, due to the work load in the department, he
had been unable to complete the review
Commissioner De Pietro then recommended to the Commission that they
review the General Plan as soon as possible
Chairman Harvey stated he felt that at the time the Junior College
was considered the Plan had been reviewed and necessary changes made to bring
it up to date He then suggested the Secretary bring the matter before
the Planning Commission at their next regular meeting as to the feasibility
of reviewing the General Plan
It was then moved by Commissioner De Pietro, seconded by Commissioner
Baroldi and unanimously carried that the staff review the feasibility of

RECONSIDERATION OF ZONE CHANGE NO Z-137; REFERRED BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION
BY CITY COUNCIL:
The Secretary of the Commission reported that this item had been
recommended to the City Council by the Planning Commission for approval,
however, the City Council had referred the matter back to the Commission
for further study. The Secretary outlined the alternative actions the
Planning Commission could take as being either a re -affirmation of the
previous recommendation or re -publication of the public hearing to reconsider
the decision. He reported this item was referred back to the Planning
Commission by the City Council due to the fact the property owner of the
easterly five (5) acres had appeared at the public hearing before the City
Council objecting to the zone change, asking that the property remain R-4.
September 16, 1965
The Secretary then explained the background of the zone change from the
time it was initiated and the reasons for the request
Mr Kubo, 3470 Lorna, Long Beach addressed the Commission representing
Mr. Takamiya, owner of the easterly five acres included in the request for
rezoning, asking that the R-4 zoning remain on the property
In answer to the staff's feeling that the use of the property for R-4
purposes would create excessive traffic through the R-1 subdivision to the
south, Mr Kubo stated they felt people living in the R-4 development would
not use the residential streets to the south for ingress and egress to Moody
Street.
The Secretary of the Commission replied that the City had no guarantee
that the residents of that area would not use the residential streets to the
south, and being public streets, the City could not refuse said residents
access to these streets
Mr Frank Horpel, Bear State Builders, owner of the westerly five acres
of the subject zone change, addressed the Commission speaking in favor of
the previous action the Commission had taken, that is recommending approval
of the change of zone to R-1 (One -family Residential)
Following further discussion, it was moved by Commissioner De Pietro,
seconded by Commissioner Borders and unanimously carried the City Council
be notified that the Planning Commission re -affirms their previous decision
of recommending approval of Zone Change No Z-137. The following roll call
vote was taken*

voted in opposition to the approval of Variance No. V-214, heuas not opposed
to the Variance, only to the condition restricting the number of revolutions
per minute allowed for the sign
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Mr Kubo addressed the Commission asking the procedure that could be
taken to get another public hearing regarding Zone Change No Z-137.
The Secretary stated the item would automatically go back before the
City Council and at the time he could ask the City Council to reopen the
public hearing if he so desired, however, the decision would be up to the
City Council as to whether they wished to hear more arguments for or against
the zone change when they had already held one public hearing at which he had
appeared.
The Secretary then asked Mr Kubo to see him during office hours at
City Hall if he wished to discuss the future development of the property
Mr. Bill Winterberg, 923 Arlee Place, Anaheim, addressed the Commission
asking what action had been taken on Item No 3, Variance No V-214, as
he had arrived late

PUBLIC HEARING RE• ZONING DETERMINATION NO. 65-6. GLADYS MORGAN BEAUTY
COLLEGE.
The Chairman announced this was the time and place for the public
hearing to consider a request for a zoning determination to allow the use
of property generally located at 5562 Lincoln Avenue for a three story
building containing a beauty college on the first floor, rental office
space on the second floor, and the third floor to be used as the owner's
living quarters, requested by Gladys Morgan Beauty College, 2744 Pacific
Coast Highway, Torrance, California, known as Zoning Determination
No 65-6. The Secretary of the Commission read Staff Report PC#65-86
which outlined the nature of the request and the staff recommendation of
approval of Zoning Determination No 65-5 excepting therefrom the request
for the dwelling unit to be located on the premises The Chairman asked
if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against the proposed use.
The City Attorney listed the criteria the Planning Commission must
consider, as provided by the City Code, before they may act on a Zoning
Determination
Mr. Ed De Boer, Strout Realty, 5939 Lincoln Ave., Buena Park,
addressed the Commission speaking in favor of the request and stating
that managers of motels located in the same zone classification on
Lincoln Avenue were living on the premises, therefore, he felt a precedent
had been set.
The City Attorney advised the Commission that the fact that other
uses had or had not been permitted should not be considered in the
Commission's decision and stated that the criteria previously listed
should be the basis of their decision.
The City Attorney then asked Mr. De Boer to state his position and
authority in the matter.
Mr De Boer stated he was the real estate agent for the property in
question and that he was the authorized agent.
The City Attorney further stated that the only consideration the
Commission should have is whether the use requested would fit in with
the other uses permitted in the H -C (Highway Commercial) zone and further
stated that the only dwellings that would be permitted in the zone would
be those necessarily incident to the use.
Mrs Gladys Morgan, applicant, addressed the Commission stating she
would like to live in the City of Cypress and construct her school in
the City.
Mr Hans Gowa, Strout Realty, addressed the Commission, stating he
represented the property owner, and that some of the uses listed in the
Zoning Ordinance for the H -C zone were residential type uses such as
hospitals, motels, hotels, and mobile home courts. He further stated
they felt the construction of the proposed building would encourage others
in the area to build other similar buildings which would enhance the City
The City Attorney informed the Commission that, if they wished to
approve all the uses requested, they would have to approve the Zoning
Determination for all but the residential use, then a second motion
would be required to initiate proceedings to amend the Zoning Ordinance
to permit residential uses in the zone.
Commissioner De Pietro asked the City Attorney what action the
Commission could take if they wished to allow the residential uses
incident to the H -C use of the property and have some control over the
residential use
The City Attorney stated the motion would be to authorize the staff
to publish a notice of public hearing to amend the Zoning Ordinance to
allow residential uses incident to the use, subject to obtaining a
conditional use permit.
October 7, 1965
Commissioner Hickey stated he would like to see the building plans for
the development.
Commissioner Borders stated he did not feel the residential use would
be good for the H -C zone
Commissioner De Pietro stated he would also like to see the building
plans.
The City Attorney stated the specific plans for the proposed use
should not be considered by the Commission, the use of the property should
be the only consideration.
Mr De Boer again mentioned that a precedent had been established with
the other uses in the area
The City Attorney stated that no precedent is binding upon the Commission
and stated that the decision should be based on whether or not the proposed
use adversely affects the neighborhood.
There being no written communications and no oral protests, the Chairman
declared the public hearing closed
At the request of the Commission, the City Attorney outlined the two
alternatives the Commission could take if they wished to approve any or
all of the request:
1. Approve the Zoning Determination and initiate an amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance to accommodate this residential use
in this zone
2 Approve the Zoning Determination including the residential use.
This would require that the Commission find that this type
residential use was similar to those for hotels, motels, and
hospitals
It was moved by Commissioner Worley and seconded by Commissioner Borders
to approve Zoning Determination No 65-6 for the beauty college and office
uses and deny the residential use After discussion in reference to the
procedure for voting and abstaining from voting, the City Attorney informed
Commissioner Hickey that he could not abstain from voting unless his reason
