ItEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 78-30 (NORTtt SIDE OF
KATELLA EXTENDING BETWEEN VALLEY VIEW AND WALKER): Hayer Hudson
opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report.
The Planning Director presented a report dated December 6 which
described the application by Lucky Stores, Inc. to establish a
regional distribution center on a 71-acre parcel of land located
on the northerly side of Katella Avenue between Valley View and
Walker Street. The Planning Director presented slides of the Lucky
distribution centers itt Buena Park and Vacaville and of comparable
distribution centers in the area and he commented on the variations
in landscape treatments. He described the Lucky's site plan and
presented a colored rendering of the project. The Planning Director
reported that the applicant has agreed to reverse the layout of the
site plan in order to allow for future expansion of the grocery
warehouse bnilding on the westerly side of the property. This would
avoid interference of the 60 foot building height witb the Los
Alamitos flight path. The Planning Director presented further
slides showing internal operations in the Lucky's warehouse and he
summarized staff's position regarding both the positive aspects and
tho areas of concern with the project. The Public Works Director
reported that Condition #21 of the C.U.P. covers staff's concerns
regarding heavy trucks traveling on City streets, lie reported that
Walker Street, north of Cerritos Avenue, is not designated as a
truck route, lie reported the staff felt the traffic consultant's
analysis did not answer their concerns as outlined in the staff
report particularly concerning the effects of truck traffic volumes
on street maintenance and noise impacts.
The City Council expressed their comments on the proposed use.
Councilwoman [lacLain requested further information on how much
revenue the site will generate, on the deterioration schedule of
streets used by Lucky Stores, and on the traffic improvement and
and street maintenance requirements and costs and how they will be
financed. The Planning Director reported on development fees and
property tax revenue which the proposed use could generate. Coun-
cihnan Lacayo expressed concern about the feasibility of the project
without the City having property tax revenue to support it. lte Felt
that even without the Lucky center, r:ypress will be impacted by the
truck traffic from industry in neighboring cities, and this should
be considered. Ile requested a further traffic analysis to determine
if traffic will be a problem, if increased volumes can be accommo-
dated at Katella and Valley View, and on the impact of increased
traffic on existing and potential businesses in the area. "he staff
responded to Mayor }ludson's question regarding the distribution of
truck traffic on Valley View and stated this is addressed in the
traffic study. Mayor ttudson expressed concern that the project
appeared to b.e a heavy industrial activity, lie requested additional
data on anticipated traffic volumes and noise and stated he was
concerned about how these impacts will relate to the rest of the
community. Councilman Rowan stated he felt favorably towards the
project but he had concerns relating to traffic and landscaping
treatment of the project. Councilwoman Evans stated the project
appeared to present more liabilities than benefits to the City at
this time and she suggested that the Council obtain pertinent
information.
Mr. Ray Saari, Vice President of Engineering for Lucky Stores, Inc.,
reported that their plans and proposal were described by the Plan-
ning Director. He reported on Lucky's desire to relocate their
Buena Park distribution center which has grown rapidly. He stated
they studied many locations throughout the L.A. basin, felt Cypress
suited them ideally especially with its proximity to Buena Park,
and they were anxious to move. Mr. Saari thanked the City staff
-7-

for their expertise and assistance with their application. Mr.
Saari expressed comments regarding several of the conditions of
approval, lie indicated they opposed payment of the proposed street
maintenance charge but they agreed to pay a proportionate share of
the Walker Street storm drain and median island landscaping and
irrigation charges if adjacent properties are also charged a
proportionate share.
Mr. Id /;ranzow of tterman Kimmel and Associates, the traffic consul-
rants, presented figures on Lucky's anticipated truck traffic volumes,
distribution on arterial streets, and on peak hour traffic generated
by the project aed also commented on trnck traffic Flow in comparison
to automohile traffic. Mayor ttndson stated he was concerned about
the community's reaction to the increased level of trnck activity.
Mr. Graozow stated the traffic consultant could research this impact.
Mr. !4aari invited the Coonci 1 to inspect their Bnena Park distribu-
tion center acid he offered to prepare a comparison report of the
truck traffic impacts at the Buena Park and Cypress facilities.
!he Planning Director reported that the City of Buena Park reported
they experienced no problems with the Buena Park facility.
Mr. ,!ohn Schmidel, architect for Lucky's, responded to questions
from Mayor Iludson regarding architectural treatment of the I,ucky
projecl and whether the use can be architectorally compatible with
the neiqhhorhood.
5layer lludson asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the april-
Mr. A! Weinberg, 9303 Vista Sert a, 7ypress, stated he did not have
a position on the Lucky's projet bt [ he felt that under SB IS4 the
project wonld not generate prop( ty tax to tile City. !le felt the
pro.iect appeared advantageous tv Lutky Stores hut not to the City.
tlc recommended that the develope p~y his fair share of development
costa ;o that the project i s not a burden to the City, and he sng-
?,eared that the City consider charging a truck "trip tax" to defray
street maintenance costs. Mr. h'einberg stated hc was concerned
thou! trt~ck traffic traveling throngh resident al areas.
Mr. ,Jo~ Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated he had the
same concerns as the Council regarding the proiect. [[e felt the
proposed project location conld adversely affect future commercial
developnlent prospects in the area by removing one of the fowr major
corners at Valley View and Katella and he soggested that the project
he relocated on the souttl side of the street, lie suggested that the
Council ohtain more information hefore taking action on the appli-
Mr. Saari again spoke on Lucky's opposition to paying a street
maintenance charge since they felt it was discriminatory and it
wonld be difficnlt to determine what portion could he attrihutable
to the I,ucky project, tlc felt the City should consider the $4 1/2
million of public improvements which Lucky will he installing. He
agreed to a continuance of the hearing to allow further investiga-
tion of the project by the Council but asked that the delay not be
for several months.
Councilman Lacayo requested a staff analysis of the fiscal impact
of the Lucky project on potential land uses icl tile area and infor-
mation on the City's traffic, police and street maintenance costs
over the next twenty year period . mhc Planning Director stated
the staf'f needed the complete traffic analysis from the applicant
in order to prepare the analysis of City costs.

The City Manager reported that the applicant has agreed to assist
tile staff in providing thc engineering data to help determine truck
flow and street strnctural considerations and the staff will analyze
this inEermat~on and prepare a report for the next regular Council
meet lng.
Mayor Hudson requested that the traffic information and staff's
analysis be transmitted to the Cities of Los Alam~tos and Garden
Grove x, hich will be impacted by the Lucky project. IIe requested
that staff investigate a maintenance district covering the entire
industrial area as a means of sharing the street maintenance costs.
Councilman Rowan indicated he objected to a maintenance district
concept and singling out one user to pay the street maintenance
cost h~t that he did not oppose investigation of other assessments
as suggested by tile staff. Councilwoman MacLain requested informa-
tion on the collection and distribution of truck taxes and whether
Cypress would be eligible to collect a portion. Councilwoman Evans
requested an investigation o£ the impact o£ tile Lucky project on
other potential commerciaI and industrial uses in the area and an
evaluation of Cypress' potential as a ]ocation fo~ other uses which
may desire to transplant their operations from adjoining areas.
She suggested that the applicant consider what benefits they can
provide the City to offset the City's costs for the project.
