~escribing the dual application to establish an intensive therapy center for
brain injured children and a Church including incidental family, servi~es and
youth activities at 9739 Denn~ Street, formerly the site of Landell School,
in the PS-lA Public and Semi-Public Zone. Staff recommended approval of the
application subject to nine conditions.
Mayor Evans declared the hearing open and asked if the app] [cant wished t¢~

Mr. Stepben Koska, Executive Director of Bethany Manor Foundation, reported
the foundation is a non-profit charitable and educational corporation formed
five years ago which provides out-patient rehabilitation services to children
who have suffered a brain injury usually including sensory or motor handicaps.
He reported the therapy center presently treats about 23 children, eacb receive
individualized treatment, and visits are usually one to four hours. Mr, Koska
described the foundation's referral system, contributors and their fund raisin~
activities. Mr. Koska indicated his only concern related to public use of the
outdoor playing fields, lie requested that the applicant be able to screen tine
activities on the playing areas to insure that the activities are compatible
and do not conflict with the center's outdoor recreation therapy sessions.
Mr. Koska reported the hours of potential conflict would be 8 a,m. to 4:30 p.m.,
but the center may expand ita hours to 6 or 7 p.m. for children who c~me in for

City Council Minutes May 27, 1980
Ms'. K~sk;~ stated the applicant would accept the condition (#4) as it is.
Following further discussion regarding the availability of the outdoor play
areas, the Council and applicant both agreed with the City Attorney's recom-
mended modification of Condition #4 to state: the turf sports play field shall
remain available for public utilization and not be restricted except during
the hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday when the therapy program
is in session.
Reverend Michael Dixon, pastor of Cypress Christian Center, formerly Bethany
Christian Fellowship, reported that the two organizations are separately incor-
porated and the Church changed its name to Cypress Christian Center. He reported
their only association is in the lease of the facilities which Bethany Manor
could not afford to lease on their own. Pastor Dixon stated the Church would
like to have control over prohibiting alcoholic beverages from being brought
on the grounds. Pastor Dixon reported there are Church services on Sunday
mornings and evenings and on Wednesday evenings and he did not foresee any c0nf]ict
hetween the Church activities and use of the outdoor play fields. He stated the
(;hurch may wish to schedule their baseball league games on the property in coop-
eration w~th Bethany Manor. Pastor Dixon indicated he would not want organized
sports act]vities interfering with Church services. The City Manager stated
there should he no problem with organized sports activities since these are
coordinated by the Cypress Recreation and Park District.
(]ouncilman Coronado reported that he received several phone calls from concerned
residents regarding the availability of the Landell School grounds and those at
Oxford dr. High. He reported the families were concerned about the lack of play
areas for children at these properties. Councilman Coronado suggested that
staff survey the residents around the school for their opinion, particularly
on the restrictions imposed by Condition #4. Mayor Evans pointed out that all
property owners within 300 feet of the school were notified of this public
hearing. She reported that she received calls from neighbors of Landell School
who were ~;oncerned about the unsupervised and other objectionable activities
that occur on the school grounds. Mayor Evans inquired about the removal
of portable buildings from the property and staff indicated this is addressed
in Condition #2. Mr. Koska stated the portable buildings will be removed
when they ~ccupy the building which is being reconstructed and this should
be accomplished by October.
Pastor Dixon expressed concern with Condition #3 which stated that Church ser-
vices shall be limited to a maximum congregation size of 126 people based upon
the available off-street parking spaces, in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance
?arking Regulations. Pastor Dixon reported the Church has a congregation of
126 persons and they expect to grow. He stated the auditorium seats 303 persons.
The Planning Director suggested that the asphalt play area could be striped
and used for off-street parking. Pastor Dixon stated this would be no problem.
Councilman Lacayo stated it was not his intent to limit the size of the Church
congregation. The City Attorney recommended a rewording of Condition #3 to state:
th(~ applicant shall provide one striped off-street paved parking space for ¢.ach
three seats within the Church assembly rooms, in accordance with the Cypress
Zoning Ordinance Parking Regulations. Mayor Evans recommended an additional
condition (#10) to require that all conditions be complied with prior to issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy. Pastor Dixon indicated these conditions were
acceptable.
Mr. Don Kennedy, 5843 Holmby Court, Cypress, stated he was not speaking in support
or in opposition but indicated he felt the playing fields at Landell School wot~ld
be heavily used on evenings and weekends by practicing baseball and soccer teams
from the youth sports leagues.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, felt that striping of parking
spaces on the asphalt could be a waste of money since the pavement must be re-
surfaced. He suggested that the striping requirement be eliminated. The City
Attorney stated that dual line striping of parking spaces is required by code
and a variance would be required for a deviation.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to close
the public hearing and adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as
follows, approving Conditional Use Permit #80-12 subject to the conditions rec-
ommended hv staff, with the modifications to Conditions #3 and #4 and the addi-
tion of Co~dition #10:

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF REQUIREMENT FOR USE OF FiRE RETARDANT ROOF
MATERIALS: The Public Works Director presented a report dated May 12 which
outlined the pros and cons of using fire retardant roofing and described fire
retardant materials on the market. Staff's recommendation was that the Council
adopt the 1979 edition of the Uniform Building Code with an amendment which
would require fire retardant materials for new roof construction and re-roofing.
Staff compared the costs of re-roofing with and without fire retardant material.
Councilman Coronado stated he favored the use of fire retardant materials for
new roof construction but not as a mandatory requirement for re-roofing which
he felt should be the homeowner's choice.
Mr. Joe Nardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, asked if the material compiled
by staff on fire retardant materials was available to the public, and staff
advised that the report was available to the public.
Councilman Lacayo stated he favored the fire retardant requirement for new
roof construction but did not support it for re-roofing because of the high
cost it represented to the homeowner and because homeowners may view this as
government intrusion. Councilman Coronado stated he opposed making the require-
ment mandatory and felt homeowners should have freedom of choice in regard to
re-roofing a home. Councilman Mullen felt it was premature to adopt such a
requirement and suggested that further research and development would lead to
a satisfactory solution.
Mr. Joe Nardcastle, 4588 Blanca, Cypress, stated he opposed an ordinance
quiring f~re retardant roofs. He felt the intent for bringing this matter up
~or the Council's consideration was to have staff investigate the availability
of fire retardant roof materials and make the information available to the publi~ .
It was moved by Councilman Rowan and seconded by Councilman Coronado to receive
and fl]e the staff report and request staff to include an article in the next
City newsletter, and send a press release, announcing the availability of the
data on fire retardant roofing materials to the public. Councilman Rowan re-
quested t|~at staff keep up to date on this matter as new information becomes

mously carried to receive and file the staff report.
Mayor Evans requested that staff investigate an incident where a citizen re-
ceived a parking ticket in front of the school on Newman Street. Mayor Evans

school. Mayor Evans felt the parking prohibition should ke more obviously
marked at such locations. Chief Duke stated he would investigate the incident
and would also instruct the officers to issue a warning citation at locations
in front of schools. Councilman Mullen inquired if there was a schedule for
sweeping arterial streets. Mr. Scbatzeder reported that arterials are sw~.pt
on a weekly basis on the same day or day after interior streets are swept.
