a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and possibly 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. He stated

manent bouts of operation may be established at the completion of the negotiations.

PUBLIC HEAR[NC RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #79-16~ CHILD DAY CARE NURSERY~ LINCOLN/
MOODY APARTMENT COMPLEX~ 9090 MOODY STREET: The Planning Director presented a
report dated December 3 which described the application to establish a child day
care nursery on the ground floor of the recreation buiIdfng at the Lincoln-Moody
Apartments. A maximum of ]3 children would be allowed at the nursery in compliance
with State and City requirements. Mr. Lamm presented the plot plan and slides of
the subject property including outdoor recreational areas which would be incor-
porated in the day care facility and recreational areas which would remain open
for use by the remainder of the apartment tenants. Staff recommended approval of
tbe per mir subject to 10 conditions; one condition restricted enrollment of children
resldi,g ~utside of the complex to a maximum of 25%. Mr. Lamm stated the tenants
and adjac<~nt property owners were mailed the public hearing notice.
Councilman Hudson expressed concern over removing the existing tenants' rights to
use those outdoor recreational areas which would he part of the day care facility.
EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Mayor called an Executive Session at 8:00 p,m. to discuss
matters of ~itigation pertaining to this hearing. The meeting was called back to
order at 8:10 p.m. with Councilwoman Evans absent.
Mayor Rowan opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in
favor of granting the permit.
Mr. and ~rs. John Evans, 2528 West 227th, Torrance, representing the applicants,
stated they felt the day care center would be of benefit to the complex and sur-
rounding <~ommunity. They indicated they had not polled the apartment tenants as
to the need for the facility but that the property management company was anxious
to establish a center. They indicated the charge would be $125 per month based on
a five-day week. Mr. Evans stated their lease stipulates that the tenants will
have first priority. He expressed concern regarding the 25% restriction and indi-
cated they did not w~nt to rely only on the tenants since they needed a full enroll-
ment to make the center successful. Mr. Evans noted that apartment tenants' turn-
over is umually high and the applicant hey hoped to bring in children from
the surrounding community. ',~
Councilman Hudson expressed concern that amenities would be el~nated from those
tenants not using the day care center, i.e,, the recreati0na~ ~!reas, and that the
tenants using the center would incur a rental increase by being,~harged for the
day care service. Councilman Lacayo stated he would not supporti,~ the~ permit unless
there was an indication from the tenants themselves that they support the day care
center. He suggested that the hearing be continued so that the applicant may poll
the tenants. He advised the applicant that a commercial venture in a private
development could create problems for the tenants, such as decreased parking
space, whlcb could be grounds for revoking the permit.

City Council Minutes December 10, 1979
Mayor Rowan asked if anyone else wished to speak in support. No one else wished
to speak in support. He asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
Mr. John McCormick, 9130 Esther, Cypress, stated he did not object to the nursery
if tenants in the complex support it. He felt parking by non-residents using
the nursery may present a problem. The staff pointed out that there would
be eight non-residents visiting the day care facility each day based on the
25% restriction and the 33 maximum enrollment.
No one else wished to speak in opposition.
Councilman Hudson indicated his concern that 57 of the 90 children in the complex
could not be accormmodated at the day care facility and that some tenants may not
be able to afford the $125 monthly charge. He suggested attacbing a condition to
the permit to require that the fees paid by the day care operator to the management
company be used to reduce the rental charge for tenants who are unable to use the
day care service. He felt tbe rent reduction would offset their loss of using a
portion of the facilities. He also suggested that the fees paid to the management
company could be used to help offset the day care fee which is paid by a tenant~
Councilman Lacayo expressed concern over Condition #9 which would require the
applicant to comply with all conditions of the previous use permit for the
apartment development and felt this should be the responsibility of the property
owner. He recommended that the property manager be invited to address these
issues at the next meeting. The applicants expressed agreement to continuing
the hearing to allow the property manager to be present.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, felt that the suggestion to
reduce the rents was a form of rent control.
Co~=~cilwoman MacLaln suggested that the property owner's profits from the day care
center could be applied towards upgrading the open space recreational or land-
scaped areas which are available to ail tenants of the complex.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilwoman MacLain to continue
the public hearing regarding Conditional Use Permit #79-16 to the January 14, 1980
meeting and request the applicant and the property manager to be present.

Mr. Jerry Mullen, 4190 Elizabeth Court, Cypress, stated he opposed the mortgage
revenue bond program since he felt the high cost of housing in Cypress would not
qualify this as an affordable housing program, he felt the City's intrusion into
the marketplace would increase housing costs further and perhaps cause financial
institutions to withdraw from financing in the City, and that the program was
a repudiation of the mandate of Proposition 13. He urged the Council to withdraw
from the program.
Mr. Larry Wuebker, 8661 Acacia Drive, Cypress, addressed numerous questions re-
garding the program to which the Council and staff responded and expressed con-
cerns relating to the need to include rehabilitation loans in the program, the
potential demand for the bonds, the income qualifications of the program parti-
cipants including those who are self-employed, use of the loans for rental prop-
erties, and policy on the resale of properties which receive loans. Mr. Wuebker
felt the program would cause an immediate and substantial inflation of home prices
which may discourage home purchases. The staff indicated that Mr. Wuebker's con-
cerns regarding the program had been discussed by the Council and City's financial
team, and that the Council was studying other methods to accomplish the rehabili-
tation of dwellings.
