Dave Barrett stated that Cotmcilman Zommick from the City of Los Alamitos would be arriving late and would address the letter from Mayor Sylvia of the City of Los Alamitos regarding this matter. City Council Minutes August 8, 1983' Mr. Barrett then read a letter from Mr. Stuart Rutner, 5080 Laurel Avenue~ Cypress, indicating that too much traffic and noise would result from the approval of this permit. Ms. Eynon presented the staff report and indicated that the staff had addressed the issues raised at the July 25, 1983, Council meeting~ focusing on the impacts of traffic, governmental services and environmental effects, and that the staff had worked closely with the City of Los Alamitos in resolving their concerns regarding traffic congestion and the back-up of automobiles in the streets. She further stated that, since two of the three phases of recommended street improvements in the 1972 Los Alamitos Race Track traffic study had been completed by the City of Cypress and the update of the study showed that traffic on Katella Avenue had not significantly increased since that time, no new traffic study was necessary. She stated that an addendum staff report recommended the following five additional conditions: ZI. The northbound traffic signal and striping at Siboney and Katella shall be changed to permit left and right turns only. This would deter cars from "short-cutting" through the Dutch Haven residential tract to access the Race Course. 22. The applicant shall not permit the backing up of vehicles on Katella Avenue or Walker Street when the vehicles would hinder the normal flow of trafic. If such a situation does arise, the ticket takers shall allow free parking until the street is clear of congestic~. 23. The number of off-site parking control officers shall be determined by a joint recommendation from the Police Departments of Los Alamitos and Cypress. Z4. No on-site parking shall be permitted on the unpaved porticfl of the Race Track parking lot. 25. In an attempt to regulate overcrowding at the Outdoor Market~ the parking lot entrances shall be closed after approximately 8,000 parking spaces are filled. The entrances shall not be reopened until the number of utilized parking spaces decreases to 7,000. Upon closure of the parking lot, a sig-alert shall be released indicating the existing conditions and anticipated time of reopening. Mayor Lacayo requested that "traffic control officers" be added to condition No. 23. Ms. Eynon stated that a Negative Declaraticm is on file with the City Clerk. Dan Schiada made a slide presentation including maps indicating the location of signals, stacking capabilities of Los Alamitos Race Track, comparison of major arterials and swap meets in Orange County. He indicated that traffic signals and streets under consideration would be able to handle the additional traffic volume generated by the proposed outdoor market. Ms. Eynon then indicated that the Chief of Police did not believe any additional officers would be necessary to control this event and that the applicant had agreed to pay for off- duty officers to alleviate any traffic problems. She further stated that the applicant had requested a minimum trial period of three months, starting in October and had agreed on a starting time of 8:00 a.m. rather than 7:00 a.m. The Mayor asked if the applicant was present. Mr. Don Rogers, 600 Balboa Boulevard, Balboa, the applicant, stated that his main interest was in operating on Sunday, rather than Saturday only, and that he would pay any security or traffic-control expenses. The Mayor inquired whether there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in support of the issue. No one indicated a desire to speak. The Mayor asked if there were any persons present who wished to speak in oppositiou. Councilman Zommick of Los Alamitos stated that the staffs of the two cities had cooperated in establishing the conditions set forth for approval of the permit although the City of Los Alamitos is not in favor of the project. However, expressing an understanding of the City of Cypress' position, he urged that constraints be imposed to insure compliance and that trained personnel be used in directing traffic. 2 City Council Minutes August 8, 1983 Mr. Patrick Kennedy, 5511 Cerritos, Cypress, submitted a letter containing 218 signatures of residents opposing granting of this permit. Mr. Tom Huston, 51Z1 Laurel Avenue, Cypress, stated that the staff report does not deal with the negative impact upon the quality of life of residents of the area. Mr. Norman Bursay, 580Z Roxbury Court, Cypress, stated that he was concerned about the large number of cars that would be on the streets and that he did not feel the sig-alert broadcast system would work. He stated he does not feel that another swap meet is needed in Cypress. Mr. Mark Lintome, 11101 Mindora Street, Los Alamitos, questic~ed whether swap meet size could be limited. Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca, Cypress, objected to the noise that would be generated by radios and stereos being demonstrated for sale. Mr. John Martinez, 6062 Chapman, Garden Grove, owner of Dutch Haven Shopping Center, expressed his concern that automobiles would be parked in his lot by patrons of the swap meet, thereby interfering with regular customer parking. Mrs. Sally Peterson, 10474 Saratoga, Cypress, stated that angry drivers would be circling the neighborhood if the swap meet lot were full Mr. John Cernoy, 5521 Cerritos; Dale Kemper, 4504 Patricia Circle; and Paul Lundy, 59Z4 Mildred, Cypress, all expressed opposition due to traffic noise. Mrs. Beth Davis, ll0Z1 Winners Circle, Los Alamitos, and owner of Los Caballeros Center in Los Alamitos, spoke on behalf of herself and Alejandro's Restaurant indicating that property values would be negatively impacted. Mayor Lacayo then invited the applicant to make a rebuttal statement. Mr. Rogers stated that noise from stereos and radios would be strictly controlled; that a $1 charge per person could be charged for walk-ins as wel! as for cars; and that a Saturday trial is not financially feasible. Mr. Garland Stephens, Attorney for Los Alamitos Race Course, stated that the only real issue according to law is whether there will be a significant adverse impact on the surrounding area and that the Race Course does not feel there will be. Councilman Coronado expressed his concern for the impact on businesses in Cypress and the noise that would disturb the residential areas and asked for rejectitm of the proposal. Councilman Mullen asked for consideration of two additional conditions: No. 26 - A $1 fee per person be charged for walk-in patrons and that free passes be issued to any residents within 1/2 mile of the race track; No. 27 - An effective noise management program be enacted to control offensive noise from radios and stereo equipment.

Councilman Kanel requested that the operaton be monitored every Sunday by the staff and the police department so that the Council is constantly apprised of what is happening and that, at the end of the 90-day period, a final report be submitted. Councilman Mullen suggested that the permit should be effective through Sanuary 8, 1984, with a new public hearing on this matter being held on January 9, 1984, with the staff instructed to advertise the hearing two weeks before that date. - 3 - City Council Minutes August 8, 1983 Mayor Lacayo asked for inclusion of an additional item.' No. 29 - Approval be granted on a 90-day basis subject to weekly approval, with Council reserving the right to call for a public hearing for revocation at any time during that period in the event of violation of the conditions governing issuance of permit. Mr. Rogers stated that the sizable start-up investment would be hard to justify with only week-to-week approval. Discussion ensued regarding the circumstances under which the Council could call for a public hearing to reconsider the permit, and it was determined that there was sufficient authority to reconsider the permit without conditiou No. 29. :/ Councilman Mullen moved for adoption of the Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 83-13, from the month of October 1983 through January 8, 1984, subject to the 28 conditions indicated by staff and Council.

Mayor Lacayo announced that he had received a letter from Mrs. Vessels requesting support OF SB 5Z7 AND 949. Dave Barrett reported on SB 5Z3, which would arrange racing schedules so that harness racing in the north would not conflict with similar racing in that area and likewise for the south. The other item is SB 949, which deals with a change in actual racing times during the day, which has always been honored in balance with night racing starting times. There is a move to change those times in order to have a better advantage for off-track betting, which will be allowed in the near future. SB 949 would prevent this.
