City Council Minutes
September 8, 1980
Councilman Lacayo reported that the Council received a communication from resi-
dents on Elderberry Street who objected to the redevelopment agency. Councilman
Lacayo expressed concern over the lack of unanimous support by the Council for
the redevelopment proposal and over the potential for litigation concerning the
condemnation of properties. He recommended that the Council hold a work session
to explore all options and perhaps a different approach towards development of the
property. Councilman Mullen stated he felt zoning determinations for the property
was premature and suggested that the Council could consider a general plan amend-
ment without relating it to the redevelopment agency.
Mayor Evans asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak.
Mr. Tom Matlock, 1821 Derby, Huntington Beach, expressed support for multiple-
family residential zoning of the property and felt this zoning would encourage
private development by the property owners and also increase their land values.
He recommended that development be allowed to occur through the private sector
rather than through the redevelopment agency.
Mr. Mike Belsky, 5427 Vista Fortuna, Cypress, expressed support for single-family
and light commercial uses on the property and felt that single story buildings
would be acceptable.
Mr. Steve Holliday, 5502 Lime, Cypress, stated he favored low density residential
zoning and felt this would be a preferable environment for his children than high
density residential or commercial which would increase traffic.
Mr. A1 Troncone, 5427 Oxford, Cypress, stated staff should study the impact of
high density residential development which may increase traffic to Walker Street
especially since there is no vehicular access from Wicker Drive. He stated he
favored commercial development of the entire property which would help the tax base.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated he opposed the general
plan amendment and felt the zoning designations should remain as they are. He
felt the proposal would not benefit the community at large and that increased
property values from multiple-family zoning would benefit only the property owners
east of the Civic Center.
Mrs. Christine Swain reported that the Cypress School Board would like to be in-
volved in the redevelopment planning process. She asked if zone changes were
proposed for the two school sites and whether these properties could be condemned
by the redevelopment agency. Staff advised her that the agency did not have auth-
ority to condemn the school properties and that zone changes were not proposed
for the school sites at this time.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by
Councilman Mullen to continue the public hearing regarding General Plan Amendment
#80-3 to a workshop meeting on Saturday, October 4, at 9:00 a.m. and that the
property owners be renotified of the continued hearing. The motion carried by

TION (7TH YEAR): The City Manager presented a report dated September 2 which
described the 7th year application and the City's past HCD applications and uses
of HCD funds. The proposed 7th year application requested funds for public
improvements, housing rehabilitation, and site acquisition for affordable rental
housing.
Mayor Evans opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in
support or in opposition to the application. No one wished to speak in support
or in opposition.
