CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 CONVENE IN JOINT SESSION WITH THE CYPRESS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The Cypress City Council and/or Acting as the Board of Directors of the Cypress Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency was called to order at 7:43 p.m. PRESENT: Agency Board Members Keenan, McGill, Pieroy, Agency Vice Chairperson McCoy ABSENT: Chairperson Sondhi NEW BUSINESS The MayorProTemstatedthatAgendaltem No. 16and17wouldbeconsideredatthe sametime. The City Attorney stated there were two items that needed to be called to the attention of the City Council. Despite best efforts to coordinate with legal counsel for Cottonwood Christian Center to receive all of their comments and observations, staff received two letters tonight at the eleventh hour. The City Attorney stated the first letter is directed to Council/Agency Member Piercy, which accuses her of bias and conflict of interest. In his opinion, repeated public statements reported in the newspapers are not evidence of bias and cities are often misquoted. The other accusation is that Ms. Piercy has a conflict of interest because she works for the Cypress School District. He stated that Ms. Piercy does not work for the Cypress School District and even if she did, her income as a school teacher is not income that triggers the conflict of interest provision of the Political Reform Act. The City Attorney stated he received a 25-page fax as he entered the Council Chamber from legal counsel for Cottonwood Christian Center commenting on the proposed Resolution of Necessity. He stated this is disappointing because staff worked at great lengths with legal counsel to give them the staff report, recommendations, and supporting resolutions at the earliest possible opportunity to give them the maximum comment period. Comments received on Friday were hand delivered to Council, and today, the City has received eleventh hour comments from Cottonwood, which will be made a part of the record. Item No. 16: CONFORMANCE OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE WALKER/KATELLA SITE AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF THF WALKER/KATELLA RETAIL PROJECT WITH THE CYPRESS GENERAL PLAN. The Assistant Community Development Director provided background information on this item. Item No. 17: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY AUTHORIZING FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 18 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT THF NORTHWEST CORNER OF WALKER STREET AND KATELLA AVENUE (THF "PROPERTY"). The Deputy Executive Director introduced Serine Ciandella from Kimley Horn & Associates, Collette Morse, RBF Consulting, and Mike Rubin and Phil Kohn from the law firm of Rutan and Tucker. The Deputy Executive Director provided background information on this item. Council/Agency Board Member McGill asked for clarification on public interest versus public use versus private use. 6 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 Agency Counsel stated the Walker/Katella project is a public use that justifies the use of eminent domain, and that redevelopment has been conclusively identified as a public use. The meeting was recessed at 8:45 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:08 p.m. The following provided testimony on behalf of Cottonwood Christian Center: Andy Guilford Bayless Conley, Cottonwood Christian Center Sean O'Connor, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, LLP Gideon Kanner Marc Strong, Assemblyman Ken Maddox's Office Chris Norby, Municipal Officials for Redevelopment Reform Sally Flowers, Council Member, City of Artesia Jim Cobrae Linda Hicks The meeting was recessed at 10:03 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 10:09 p.m. The City Attorney stated the City has received sound, correct legal advice and most importantly, this is sound public policy for the greatest good with the least private injury. He stated he would like to address the issue regarding the moratorium. Moratoriums are recognized in State law as lawful "time outs" so that a public agency can engage in a thoughtful planning of a broad piece of property. The moratorium at issue was adopted after Cottonwood submitted its materials for a Conditional Use Permit and after those submittals were returned as being incomplete. When the legal adequacy of the submittals were ultimately brought before the City Council for a determination, legal counsel for Cottonwood argued that there should be nothing contained in the Conditional Use Permit Application Resolution findings with respect to the moratorium because the Cottonwood application had nothing to do with the moratorium, which he agrees with. The only reason for the delay on hearing for the Conditional Use Permit appeal submittal was at the request of legal counsel for Cottonwood. The City Attorney stated the City has not predetermined an outcome regarding the agendized resolutions. He stated that during the deposition of Costco, the representative stated there is not a done deal between the City and Costco. The project under consideration is the Walker/Katella Retail Project, not Costco. Agency Counsel stated the United States and California Supreme Courts have both concluded that redevelopment is a public use for which eminent domain can be used. The site is a vacant piece of property and it is misleading to say the taking by eminent domain of the property is taking the church or the church's project. The Walker/Katella Retail Plan is more consistent with the goals and objectives of the redevelopment plan. He stated the project area was determined to be blighted in 1990 when the redevelopment plan was adopted and continues to be deemed blighted today. Council/Agency Board Member Keenan stated that the City of Fullerton, which Mr. Norby represents, recently allowed a church to be built but only after the church agreed to make the city whole on the loss of property tax to the school districts, O.C. Fire Authority, and other affected agencies. He stated Assemblyman Maddox, while a Council Member in Garden Grove, voted to use eminent domain to relocate 150 senior citizens from a mobile home park, all in the interest of economic development, for a development that was never built. He stated he hoped Assemblyman Maddox would work harder in the Assembly to stop taking away cities money so cities don't have to be so dependent on aggressive development. 7 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 204 Council/Agency Board Member McGill stated the City Council has been inundated with phone calls, letters, faxes, and emails, and they are just not able to respond to everyone. He thanked everyone for their input on the issue. He stated that Cypress does welcome churches to the community; there are currently 31 churches and a mosque, which is one of the highest per capita in Orange County. Council/Agency Board Member McGill asked what happens with the discussions with Cottonwood Christian Center. Agency Counsel stated that adoption of the Resolution of Necessity would not preclude continuing negotiations with Cottonwood. Agency Counsel stated that information staff has states that Cottonwood purchased the property in September, 1999 for $12,908,142.00. The Redevelopment Agency has offered, as reflected in the staff report and as made in the formal offer letter, $14,583,500.00 for the property. It was moved by Council Member McGill and seconded by Council Member Keenan, to adopt the Resolution by title only, relating to the conformity of the proposed acquisition of the WalkedKatella site and the proposed development of the Walker/Katella Retail Project with the Cypress General Plan. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: 4 COUNCILMEMBERS: Keenan, McGill, Piercy, and McCoy 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None 1 COUNCILMEMBERS: Sondhi RESOLUTION NO. 5564 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, RELATING TO THE CONFORMITY OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE WALKER/KATELLA SITE AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF THE WALKER/KATELLA RETAIL PROJECT WITH THE CYPRESS GENERAL PLAN.

It was moved by Agency Board Member Piercy and seconded by Agency Board Member Keenan, to adopt the Resolution by title only, directing and authorizing the condemnation of certain real property in the City of Cypress, State of California, and declaring the public necessity therefor. Council/Agency Board Member Piercy stated this is a difficult action and decision. The Council is representing the entire community and doing what they think is best for the community. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 2O5 MAY 28, 2002 Council/Agency Board Member Keenan stated it is the Council's obligation as Council Members to see that the City is developed in a socially and fiscally responsible way. Mayor Pro Tem McCoy stated the job of Council Members is to ensure the economic stability, not only for today but for the future also. He stated that with the current State budget deficit, the City must look hard at how service levels will be maintained. The City knows, from past practice, the State will look toward cities to recoup money to pay for current programs they don't have the money to pay for.
