Planning Department staff to clarify his concern regarding t~e alleged misinfor-
mation conveyed to the applicant by staff. Councilman Rowan reperted t[lat
applicant first requested permission to construct a conerete driveway, for
a permit is not required, and only later did staff determine that the request
was for a circular driveway which requires a variance. Councilman Rowan statical
the information given to the applicant was based on the manner in whicd~ he
his questions. Councilman Rowan stated that one of the applicant's areumea:s
was that several circular driveways had been constructed in his neig~bort~ood sod
]~e was simply seeking equal treatment; Councilman Rowan ind~cate~l that t~>se
circular driveways were installed illegally. He stated the app]~c.~nt's other

CONSIDERATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING: The City Manager presented a report dated
August 6 which discussed the development of affordable rental housing within
Cypress including a determination of need, overall process and site alternatives.
Staff reported that a means to achieve affordable rental housing in Cypress would
be through the Federal Section 8 New Construction Program. Mr. Robert Kastenbaum,
Senior Planner, advised the Council that the project selection committee for the
Cypress Islands affordable project will meet on August 13 to hear the three top
firms present their proposals.
COUNCILMAN CORONADO ARRIVED AT 6:23 P.M.
Mr. Kastenbaum reported that agencies and organizations at different levels of
government are attempting to compel cities to build affordable rental housing.
Staff indicated that the agencies have used various sanctions to achieve afford-
able rental housing but it is difficult to determine how these sanctions would
impact Cypress. Mr. Kastenbaum presented charts describing the site character-
istics of four possible locations in Cypress for affordable rental housing projects.
He indicated that, because of HUD's funding priorities, an application by Cypress
for 7th year Housing & Community Development (HCD) funds may not be approved if
the application is solely for housing rehabilitation and public improvements.
Staff recommended that the City's 7th year HCD application contain an allocation
for site acquisition for affordable rental housing in addition to allocations for
housing rehabilitation and public improvements. Staff indicated the application
would be presented for Council consideration at a September 8 public hearing.
Following discussion of this matter, it was the general consensus of the Council
to direct staff to prepare the application for 7th year HCD funds to include an
allocation for site acquisition for affordable rental housing in addition to
allocations for housing rehabilitation and public improvements. Councilman Rowan

ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT - COUNTRY WESTERN CONCERT (SENATOR PAUL CARPENTER), LOS
ALAMITOS RACE COURSE~, 4961 KATELLA AVENUEt CYPRESS: The Planning Director pre-
sented a report dated July 31 describing the application to conduct a three-day
Country Western Concert on September 26-28 as an accessory entertainment use at
the Los Alamitos Race Course in the PS-lA Pub]it and Semi-Public Zone, The appli-
cation represents the first request received by the City to allow a major nutdoor
concert which will not occur during the horse racing schedule. Staff requested
that the Council determine whether an outdoor concert which does not take place
in conjunction with a horse racing event is an allowable entertainment use of
the Los Alamitos Race Course. Staff recommended eight conditions if the permit
is to be approved. Staff reported that a petition in opposition to the permit
was submitted by Mr. Jim Young and a letter was received from Mr. and Mrs. Howard,
5140 Laurel, Cypress, urging the Council to deny the permit because they felt the
race course should not cater to entertainment events.
Mayor Evans asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Senator Paul Carpenter, 5851 Karen Avenue, Cypress, the applicant, stated that,
in recognition of noise problems which have occurred at the race course in tt~e
past, they plan to use a specially designed sound system for the concert which
should minimize noise disturbances. He stated the concert will provide a unique
opportunity to have well known musical talent ~n Cypress and it will produce
approximately $8,000 in revenue to the City. Senator Carpenter estimated the
attendance at the concert would be 10,000 on Friday and Saturday nights and
5,000 on Sunday evening.
Mayor Evans asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the app]icatlon.
Mr. D. Shag, Jr., 5572 Belle Avenue, Cypress, stated he would like to see the
permit approved since he felt the concert would be a good family event as well
as a fund raiser for the applicant.

Cltv Council Mlnutes
August 11, 1980
Mr. Francis Cherney, 10442 Pompano, Cypress, expressed support for the Country
Western concert.
Mayor Evans asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
Mr. Jim Young, 5120 Laurel, Cypress, stated he initiated and circulated the
petltion which was submitted to the City. He reported the homeowners in his
tract have strong fee][ngs of opposition to music at the race course. He stated
that acoustics in the grandstand are poor and all sounds from the racc track
are c]~:arly audi~l~. He stated the 40 to 50 signers of the petition feel the
race course should be restricted to racing and not public entertainment events.
Mr. Stuart Rugner, 5080 Laurel, Cypress, reported that he can hear the announce-
ments of the winners of the races at the track. He stated he has heard the concerts
which have been held at the track in the past and he felt noise from the proposed
±cncert would he loud.
Mr. ~[oe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress~ stated the race course should not
be used as a concert hall and the concert should be held indoors. He felt that
if the Country Western concert is allowed then rock and roll concerts could follow.
Mayor Evans asked if the Police Department would be able to provide adequate
crowd ~:ontrol and control in emergency situations. Sergeant Satterfield stated
tbe Police Department did not anticipate any undue emergencies or problems from
the event. Councilman Coronado felt the applicant was proposing to take extreme
precautions to minimize noise and stated the sound speakers could be directed
away from the residences. He felt revenue from the concert would benefit the City.
Mr. Jim Young reported that at past events so,md speakers were directed towards
the grandatand but the noise bounces back towards the homes. He reported persons
cannot sleep because of the noise pollution. Mr. Young stated many homeowners
strongly object to the proposed concert. He felt the City received sufficient
revenue from the racing activities. The Council provided Mr. Young with the staff
report on this application. Councilman Coronado stated the event will be controlled
throug}~ the conditions applied to the permit and that he would support the home-
owners if the event proves to be a real nuisance.
Mr. Jim Windle, 5755 Wellson Drive, Cypress, suggested that the applicant provide
complimentary tickets for the three day event to the homeowners who have expressed
objections. Mayor Evans stated this was already done by the applicant.
Mr. Felix Lopez, 5202 Belle Avenue, Cypress, stated he knows many people in the
housing tract near the race course and the majority of them favor the concert.
Senator Carpenter stated he hoped the concert would attract a large segment of
the population so that it might become an annual event with minimum interferen~.e
to the community. He stated if the event is obtrusive be would not submit the
request again.
Mayor Evans read the recommended conditions of approval for the benefit of persons
in the audience. The City Attorney recommended that, to clarify ambiguity in the
application of No~se Ordinance standards for special events, the following words
be added to the end of Condition #3: "and said standards shall be applicable to
the event notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13-70(b) of the Cypress City
Code". Mayor Evans asked if the applicant agreed with the conditions of approval.
Senator Carpenter requested a change in Condition #6 which prohibits overnight
recreational vehicle parking on the race track grounds except by the concert
security personnel. Senator Carpenter reported he would like to provide RV
parking spaces near Katella Avenue for persons attending the concert who would
like to stay overnight. He indicated he would be willing to provide a dumping
tank for the RV's. Senator Carpenter reported his primary advertising for the
event would be via direct mail to persons living in the area of the race course.

August 11,
1980
Mr. Steve Noblock, 1902 Louise Street, Santa Ana, felt some persons attending the
concert would like to be able to spend the three days and park their recreational
vehicle~ on the proper~y. He stated nlo~t ef the veha¢les are self-contained and
he did i~ct reel people would dump their tanks on the rare track grounds.
(k)un( ill,an Coronado recommended that, if an RV overnight parking area is desig-
uated, the applicant provide security patrolling of the area at all times.
Senator Carpenter iudic:ced this would be [lis intention. He added that be had
a responsibility to tbs: preperty owner to return the property to its original
(ond[ti(n followxp~ the (oncert event. He stated he intends to [lave a portable
dumping tank on the site for the recreational vehicles.

Council at their July 12 study session for consideration in a redevelopment
program. Included was a preliminary budget and calendar of proceedings for
-11-

implementation of a redevelopment agency. The report indicated that all property
owners within the survey area were invited to discuss the redevelopment proposal
at this meeting, and, of the 18 letters mailed, staff received only two responding
inquiries. The Planning Director outlined the survey area on a map which con-
sisted of 54 acres, or 66 acres including City streets.
Mayor Evans asked if anyone wished to speak in regard to this matter.
Mr. James Windle, 5755 Wellson Drive, Cypress, addressed questions regarding the
general purpose and iunctions of a redevelopment agency. The City Attorney
responded to the questions. The City Attorney also responded to questions from
Councilman Mullen regarding condemnation of property and property owners' devel-
opment rights for properties included in the survey area.
Mr. Bob Denton, 13212 Sandra, Garden Grove, stated he is involved with the
~edevelopment agency in the City of Garden Grove and he reported on their Agency's
activities. Mr. Denton stated an agency is formed because its powers can exceed
those ota city and it can operate without tax dollars by issuing bonds. He
reported that Garden Grove's redevelopment project grew from a small area to
over 2,000 acres, and another project area is proposed. Mr. Denton stated that
property owners within the redevelopment area are hesitant about improving their
properties since they may ultimately be acquired by the agency. He reported that
Garden Grove's redevelopment area has been developed with many condominiums and
fewer single family homes.
Mr. Windle inquired about membership of the governing body of the redevelopment
agency, how a radevelopment agency is activated, and when the Council planned to
adopt the survey area. The City Attorney responded to the questions and the
Council indicated that adoption of the survey area was under consideration tonight.
Mr. Windle inquired about ownership of the two school sites and was advised that
the Oxford site and Cypress School site are owned by the two school districts.
Mrs. Mabel Davidson, 9371 Walker, Cypress, requested that her property be excluded
from a redevelopment area. She reported her family has done extensive landscaping
on their property with ponds and fountains which they would never be able to replace
if they must relocate. She reported she receives income from rental property at
9373 Walker and that she would like to retire on her property.
Mrs. Gerry Erskine, 3993 Myra, Los Alamitos, reported her family wishes to develop
the property they own at 5371 and 5381 Orange Avenue. She reported they have not
proceeded with their original intention of developing office buildings because of
the vacancies in the office complexes across the street. She stated they realize
the property is an eyesore and they would like to cooperate with the City in
developing their property.
Mr. James Windle requested that the Council consider deleting Mrs. Davidson's
property from the redevelopment area. He stated he did not feel the property
was blighted. He reported he owns property on Wicker Drive and the street is not
maintained by the City and flooding occurs during rains. He stated Wicker Drive
is a dedicated street which should be maintained by the City. He stated that if
the City maintained Wicker Drive he and other owners may consider improving their
properties which would also be worthwhile for the City.
The staff reported that the City accepted the dedication of a 15 foot wide ease-
ment on Wicker Drive for street purposes but the City did not accept the improve-
ments for maintenance purposes since the improvements were not installed to meet
specifications for public right of way construction which require a minimum
width of 40 feet. Staff indicated that the property owners may petition the
City to install the street improvements if additional land is ~edicated to meet
the standards.
Mr. Bill Planche, 700 Lomita, Orange, reported he is interested in developing the
property at 5411, 5401, 5423 and 5425 Orangm Avenue for condominium office use.
He requested that the private property owners be given an opportunity to present
a development proposal to the City and that the building moratorium in the area
be lifted. The staff indicated that the redevelopment proposal would not preclude
-12-
City Council Minutes
August 11, 1980
property owners from submitting development proposals and the moratorium would not
preclude submittal of an application for a conditional use permit but would prohibit
the construction of buildings.
Mr. Joe Hardcast]e, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, recommended that the redevelopment
issue I~e put to a vote of the people.
Ms. Francis Lisuarian, 200 Ellsworth, Anaheim, reported her family owns properties
at 5402, 5404, 5406 and 5412 Wicker Drive and has lived on the property for 28
years. She reported her parents strongly oppose selling the property and wish
to redevelop it ta~mselves.
Mrs. Alice Vandermeer, 9375 Walker, Cypress, owner of property at 5391, 5401 and
5411 Wicker Drive, reported she would like to construct a new home for herself
on the property and indicated she objected to moving to a tract home. She stated
there was a possibility of constructing four residences on her property. Mrs.
\~ande~eer stated she especially enjoys having the large yard for her grandchildren.
Mr. Tom Matlock, 1821 Derby Drive, Huntington Beach, requested that the Council
reconsider his proposal to develop his three parcels on Wicker Drive and install
street improvements which he felt would be an incentive for development by other
property owners in the area.
Mr. Ed Simmons, 9251 Walker, Cypress, owner of property at 9461 Walker, stated
he would support the redevelopment proposal if he could find comparable housing
elsewhere which he can afford and which is suitable for raising a family. He
indicated he does not enjoy condominium housing. Mr. Simmons stated he supported
redevelopment of the area because the properties have been idle for years.
Councilman Lacayo stated he did not wish to proceed with redevelopment until the
community responds to the proposal and he recommended that the redevelopment issue
be placed on the ballot. Councilman Mullen stated he did not support establishing
the survey area at this time and that he also supported a referendum on the
redevelopment issue.
It was moved by Councilman Rowan and seconded by Councilman Coronado to: (1)
adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as follows; (2) order the
following Ordinance read by title only, title as follows, and approve the first
reading of the Ordinance declaring the City Council to be the Planning Commission

CONSIDERATION OF CITIZEN'S COMPLAINT RELATIVE TO VIBRATIONS TO HIS HOME (NEAR
DENNI & ORANGE~: The City Manager presented a report dated August 7 indicating
the Mayor had requested this item on the agenda. Transmitted with the report
was a letter from the homeowner, Dr. Jaffe, and a memorandum on the matter from
the Assistant City Manager.
Mayor Evans recon~nended that staff be directed to investigate the complaint further
by visiting the resident's home and to report back to the Council. Councilman
Coronado reported he was contacted regarding this matter by Mr. Don Breat,
4511 Newman Avenue. He indicated that Supervisor Wieder's office was familiar
with the problem. Councilman Coronado reported that he surveyed the area for two
hours yesterday and the problem appeared to be caused by buses traveling on Denni
at an excessive speed which creates a shock front resulting in shaking in the homes
and vibrations in the ground. He reported that a representative from the Orange
County Transit District and Mr. Brent rode a bus up and down Denni at different
speeds and recognized the problem caused by an excessive bus speed. Councilman
Coronado felt that reduced bus speeds and the repair of the bumpy pavement on
Denni Street near Surrey Drive should correct the problem. Councilman Coronado
reported that m~ny residents in the area utilize the bus service regularly and
would not like a change in the route. The Office Engineer, Frank Dalesandro.
reported on his findings after visiting Dr. Jaffe's home and agreed that exces-
sive bus speed caused shaking in the home. Chief Duke stated he would contact
the Transit District to request the bus drivers to slow their speed and he would
assign a radar unit to the area. Councilman Coronado requested that the rippled
pavement on Denni Street be repaired. The City Council requested a follow-up
report from staff on the street repairs and their contacts with the Orange County
Transit District.
CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE DAY CARE FACILITIES AT CYPRESS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE:
The City Manager presented a report dated August 7 from the Assistant City Manager
which indicated the lease agreement for the school facility did not appear to
preclude a day care facility at the site and such a use could be provided within
the scope of operation of the Park District. Councilman Lacayo recommended that
this matter be referred to the Recreation & Community Services Commission with the
request that they determine the feasibility of such a use.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to refer the
proposal for a day care facility at the Cypress School site to the Recreation &
Community Services Commission for their evaluation and recommendation.
Mayor Evans requested that the Commission investigate the vacancy factors of
private pre-school facilities in the area to determine whether the need for a
District operated pre-school is substantiated. Councilman Coronado inquired
about the sources of interest in this proposal. The City Manager reported that
a non-profit group had expressed interest and had submitted a proposal for a
pre-school at the Cypress School site. The Recreation & Park Director reported
-14-
