NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, based upon substantial evidence taken from the
administrative record and at the public hearing, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. Pursuant to the Cypress Zoning Ordinance Section 4.19.070
(Conditional Use Permits), the City Council finds, after due study and deliberation that the
following circumstances exist:
1. The proposed location of the conditional use is consistent with the requirements of the
General Plan and the Zoning District in which the site is located.
The Project site has a general plan land use designation of Community Facilities and
Services and is zoned PS-1A (Public and Semi-public). The Community Facilities and
Services designation includes "a wide range of public and private uses that are
necessary to support the community". The provision of affordable senior housing is
39
consistent with this designation. Additionally, per Section 2.08.030 of the Zoning
Ordinance, affordable senior housing is permitted in the PS-1A zone with conditional
use permit approval. The Project meets all applicable development standards required
by the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare, nor would be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
With approval of the conditions included in Exhibit "A", the Project will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. The project is adjacent to
single-family residential uses to the north and a religious facility to the east; however,
the site has been designed to avoid negatively impacting adjacent uses by including
appropriate setbacks, landscaping, and other features. The conditions included in
Exhibit "A", along with the mitigation measures included in the MMRP will ensure that
the construction and ongoing maintenance and operation of the project will not
negatively impact public health, safety, or general welfare.
3. The proposed conditional use would comply with all applicable provisions of this zoning
ordinance.
With approval of the conditions included in Exhibit "A", the Project complies with all
applicable development standards and provisions of the zoning ordinance including
those related to setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping and off-street parking.
SECTION 2. CEQA The City Council confirms that it has reviewed and considered the
Final IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Project. The
IS/MND and MMRP have been prepared, noticed, and are hereby adopted according to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-03, subject to the applicable
conditions included in Exhibit "A". The decision of the City Council is final and conclusive as to
all things involved.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a
