CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP #80-1128~ CYPRESS LAND COMPANY (SOUTH OF
KATELLA AVENUE~ EAST OF HOLDER STREET): The Planning Director presented a report
dated June 4 describing the application to subdivide a 36.3 acre parcel of land
into two buildable parcels and a remainder nonbuildable parcel on the south side
of Kate]la, east of Holder, in the Cypress Business Park. He recommended mln~r
typographical changes in conditions of approval #3 and 9. Mr. Lamm presented
slides of the subject property. Staff recommended approval of the map subject
to 21 conditions. Staff reported that, including the width of the drainage
channel, there is a distance of about 75 feet between the rear of the residential
property and the rear of the proposed parking lot of the new development. Mayor
Evans inquired about the advantage of filing a parcel map versus a tract map i~nd
whether the same types of conditions could be applied. She asked why the remainder
area was not designated as Parcel #3. Staff responded that the parcel map is a
quicker process where the State Subdivision Map Act allows a developer to file
either a parcel or tract map for industrial and commercial property. The Act
allows the developer to designate any remaining area as "remaining parcel" which
may be developed and improved under a parcel map sometime in the future. Stair
indicated that the conditions would be the same under a parcel map or tract map
if the designation ot parcels remained the same. Staff indicated that a tract map
is filed for more than five parcels of land.
Mr. Richard Meyer, Project Coordinator for Cypress Land Company, reported the5.
have been involved in master planning the property for over seven months and haw,
requested the parcel map to expedite the process since they have a commitment to
a tenant, Jean Ellen Manufacturing. Mr. Meyer stated the applicant agrees to thc
35 foot buffer zone but their staff wished to consider alternative proposals
in order to exploit the potential of this area as a buffer zone which benefits
both the developer and community. He stated one alternative considered was

City Council Minutes

development of a par course. The City Manager suggested that if the buffer
zone is still subject to negotiation the hearing should be continued to allow
the developer and staff to work out a proposal. Councilman Coronado suggested
that the developer construct a fence along the eight-foot berm as a safety
precaution for children at play. Mr. Meyer stated the applicant agrees to
comply with the buffer zone as shown on Exhibit B in the staff report but
that they wished to pursue more imaginative alternatives for the buffer area
before the map is recorded. The City Attorney suggested that Condition #1
could be revised to require the developer to post a bond for the buffer area
improvements which would be subject to review and approval by the Council,
or the map could be approved subject to the recommended conditions with the
understanding that the property owner may request a modification to Condition
#1. Mr. Meyer stated he would accept the conditions and later request a modifi-
cation to the condition. Councilman Mullen asked if the proposed par course
would be open to the public.
Mr. Bob Sundstrom, Williamson & Schmidt, 17782 Sky Park, Irvine, stated the par
course would be oriented to business park employees as a recreation facility and
there probably would be no public access because of the liability factor. He
stated the par course is only one alternative they have considered and the primary
purpose of the area will be for buffering the residences. Councilman Rowan stated
he agreed with the City Attorney's recommendation to approve the map subject to the
recommended conditions with the understanding that a modification will be requested
to Condition #1.
It was moved by Councilman Rowan and seconded by Councilman Coronado to adopt the
following Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Tentative Parcel
Map #80-1128 subject to the conditions recommended by staff, with the corrections
to Conditions #3 and 9, and with the understanding that the applicant will request
a modification to Condition #1:
RESOLUTION NO. 2251
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 80-1128 - WITH CONDITIONS.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, suggested that a street be con-
structed along the drainage channel on the industrial property to provide a great~r
separation between the new development and residences. Mr. hamm stated staff con-
sidered this as well as other alternatives for the development.
The City Attorney stated his previous response regarding the distinction between
divisions of land under and over five parcels was incomplete since the Map Act
indicates there are also technical distinctions. He stated that for divisions
of land involving five or fewer parcels, the City cannot require construction of
improvements until permits are granted except by agreement with the subdivider.
tie stated the recommended conditions would have been the same if a tentative
tract map had been filed instead of the division of land.
Mayor Evans felt the long-standing problem of the asphalt plant should be eliminated
and recommended adding a condition to require removal of the asphalt plant prior
to recordation of the parcel map or requiring the remainder parcel to be made a
part of the map so that the condition can be imposed. Mr. Meyer felt Cypress Land
Company was making a commitment to remove the plant by their June 6 letter to Mr.
Ewles requesting him to vacate the property by July 15. Mr. Meyer read the letter.
After further discussion, Mr. Meyer agreed to accept the condition requiring
removal of the asphalt plant.
It was moved by Mayor Evans and seconded by Councilman Rowan to amend the motion
to add the following condition of approval to Tentative Parcel Map #80-1128: all
non-conforming land uses shall be removed from that parcel of land designated as
"remaining parcel" on Parcel Map #80-1128 prior to recordation of the parcel map
with the County of Orange. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll

CONSIDERATION OF MODIFICATION OF CHANNELIZATION STRIPING ON BALL ROAD~ WEST OF
VALLEY VIEW: The Public Works Director presented a report dated June 3 which
included the accident record of the area (1978 and 1980) and diagrams showing
all possible turning movements with the existing striping and the other showing
additional vehicle turning conflicts that would occur with a two-way left turn
lane. Staff recommended no change in the striping on Ball Road because of the
potential traffic conflicts that would be induced with the change and because
truck traffic, which would be minimal, could follow an alternate route west
on Cerritos, north on Walker and then east on Ball to the shopping center.
Mr. Don Kennedy, 5843 Holmby Court, Cypress, felt that of the total number of a~ci-
dents occurring in 1978 and 1980 only a few were caused by left turn movements
from the shopping center onto Ball Road. He recommended that a continuous turning
lane be designated on Ball Road which is an acceleration and deceleration lane
and allows vehicles to enter the main traffic lane when it is safe. Mr. Kennedy
felt the continuous turning lane would help eliminate the left turn problem for
vehicles eastbound on Ball which turn left at Myra. Mr. Kennedy suggested that
one or both of the driveways from Constitution Savings be designated for "no ]eft
turns", and allow exits from Constitution Savings into the alley that borders
Del Taco. Mr. Kennedy felt the continuous turning lane would eliminate the U-turn
problem that exists at the median break opposite the Del Taco driveway. He suggested
that the lane be given a six month trial and review.
Councilmembers Coronado and Rowan expressed support for the trial period but
Councilman Rowan recommended that the Constitution Savings driveway and alley be
posted for right turns only to reduce cross-lane traffic conflicts. Mr. Schatz~d~,~~
indicated that enforcement of the posted signs could be a problem.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Mayor Evans to continue this
matter to the next regular meeting and request a staff report evaluating all of
the suggestions discussed including cost figures. There was discussion on the
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca, Cypress, recommended that a traffic engineer be
assigned to perform the study. He felt an over-abundance of posted signs is not
effective as they can confuse motorists.
The Public Works Director stated the report could be completed for the Jul>, 14
meeting. He stated funds are available in this year's budget for consultant
traffic engineering services.
Mr. Kennedy suggested another alternative to provide the continuous turning
on Ball Road from the Del Taco driveway up to a point opposite the adjacent
alley and leave the double double yellow striping intact in front of the Savings
& Loan which would still allow left turns into the Church and into the alley
west of Del Taco bet not affect Constitution Savings & Loan. Mr. Schatzeder
stated this alternative could be studied.
Fo]lowing further discussion, Councilmembers Mullen and Evans agreed to inclnde
in the motion a provision for staff to seek consultant services not to exceed
$500 and that staff submit their report for the July 14 Council meeting.

CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON CITY CODE PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO THE CIRCULATION
AND FILING OF PETITIONS: The City Manager presented a report dated June 5 which
transmitted a letter from the City Attorney dated June 4 and a proposed ordinance
amending the current Petition ordinance. The City Attorney summarized his letter
and recommended changes in the ordinance pertaining to the petition filing re-
quirements. He recommended that certain requirements could be satisfied through
submittal of a sworn statement. Sworn statements would apply to the person
presenting a petition declaring under penalty of perjury that each person who
signed the petition was presented with a copy of the same text which is being
presented to the City; and taking an oath in which he or she supplies the infor-
mation specified by the Code and swearing that such information is true.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated that an imbalance of
representation occurs when one side presents a petition during public hearing
testimony and the opposing side does not. He suggested that the Council develop
a policy where they would continue the matter for two weeks to allow the opposi-
tion a chance to circulate their own petition.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Rowan to order the
following Ordinance read by title only, title as follows, and to approve the
first reading of the Ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO.

intimidate people.

necessary to facilitate the closing of the City accounting records as of June
30, 1980. The appropriations include items for which the Council authorized
expenditures but did not formally establish appropriations as well as adjust-
ments to estimated revenue amounts. Staff also recommended that the Council
adopt a Resolution which directs that unencumbered appropriations be transferred
to the General Fund contingency account. Staff responded to questions regarding
funding of the Lighting District from Councilman Coronado and Mr. Hardcastle.
