Section 15315. Minor Land Divisions. Class 15 consists of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use into four or fewer parcels...... Those are the sections referred to in the public hearing notice.

Notices of the public hearing were posted, published, and mailed to the owners of properties located within a 300-foot radius of the subject property.

She felt that an Environmental impact Report (EIR) should be done and requested a hearing discussing the need for an EIR considering the cumulative impact. The area is already overburdened by traffic, noise and pollution. She asked the Council to consider the hearing before taking a vote on this project. No one else spoke. Responding to Councilmember Carroll's inquiry on the reason why there wasn't a hearing, the Community Development Director reiterated CEQA, Article 19, Section 15300, Categorical Exemptions require the guidelines to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA...."

The proposed tentative parcel map is consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance and General Plan, as well as the applicable Warland/Cypress Business Center Specific Plan and Development Agreement No. 95-2. Notices of the public hearing were posted, published and mailed to the owners of properties located within a 300-foot radius of the subject Property. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this matter. The ai)plicant, or a representative, was not in the audience. Mayor Bowman asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or in opposition to the application. Mr. Mike Gritchen, 11 619 Malden Street, Cypress, said it was his understanding that Article 19, Section 15, stipulates that an EIR may be waived based on certain circumstances but does not require it. He didn't believe that any consideration had been given to the cumulative effect for traffic and other problems inherent in the subject area and he formally requested that an EIR be done to determine what the cumulative impact is of the entire area. He also said that apparently the decision had alreadvbeen made to subdivide the subject parcels and he wanted to know why there was no public hearing. Mayor Bowman advised that this was the public hearing on those subdivisions. The Community Development Director commented that subdivisions are made in a public hearing and that is what the public hearing is for this evening. Councilmember Carroll asked that the reasons an EIR are not required be reiterated. The Community Development Director then again paraphrased from the California Environmental Quality Act, which is the State document that regulates environmental issues. The City is being directed by CEQA to exempt certain projects. It was moved by Councilmember Age and seconded by Councilmember Jones to close the public hearing, direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-136, subject to conditions. Councilmember Jones commented that there is no project, there is no traffic to consider, there is nothing that can be evaluated. RESOLUTION NO. 4685 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 96-136 - WITH CONDITIONS. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES:5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Age, Carroll, Jones, Kerry and Bowman NOES:0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 96-137, REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE ONE (1) PARCEL INTO TWO (2) PARCELS, 5710, 5740, 5770 AND 11137 WARLAND DRIVE: The public hearing was opened by Mayor Bowman. The City Manager asked the Community Development Director to review the staff report dated July 25, 1996, which represented a request by the Warland Investments Company to subdivide an 8.8 acre parcel located at 5710, 5740, 5770 and 11137 Wariand Drive into two separate parcels. 8 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 12, 1996 New parcels are designated I and 2 and will consist of 5.7 and 3.1 acres, respectively. Parcel I is currently undeveloped and parcel 2 is developed with three office/warehouse buildings. The proposed tentative parcel map is consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance and General Plan, as well as the applicable Warland/Cypress Business Center Specific Plan and Development Agreement No. 95-2. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, a Notice of Exemption will be filed for this project. Notices of the public hearing were posted, published and mailed to the owners of properties located within a 300-foot radius of the subject property. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this matter. The Mayor noted the applicant was not in the audience. He asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or in opposition to the application. Mrs. Kitty Gritchen, 11619 Maiden Street, Cypress, said that she realized there aren't any projects being discussed, but she felt that the developers were asking because they have some plans for the property. A big consideration for her was that the Council has historically approved projects individually and doesn't consider the cumulative effect, which Is the reason she is requesting an EIR. Mr. Mike Gritchen, 11619 Malden Street, Cypress, referred to Article 19, Section 15 and asked who determined that the parcel does not require an EIR and what criteria were used. He would like the answer tonight, if possible. At the request of Mayor Bowman, the Community Development Director read for the record, from CEQA, Article 19, under a Categorical Exemption, the definition a@d then the Section that applied. "Section 21084 of the Public Resources Code requires these guidelines to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions Of CEQA. in response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources has found that the following classes of projects listed in this article do not have a significant effect on the environment and they are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents." So, you have the state level who made this list and then, Section 15315 discusses minor land divisions. "Class 15 consists of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division Is in conformance with the general plan and zoning. No variances or exceptions are required. All services and access to the proposed parcels to locate standards are available. The parcel is not involved in a division of a larger parcel within two years and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 200/o." Responding to Councilmember Carroll, the City Attorney said that staff is following the mandate articulated under CEQA. Mr. Gritchen remarked that the article allows this decision to be made, it does not mandate that it be made. The City Attorney responded that it is mandated if those guidelines are met. Further, the Community Development Director stated that the Secretary for Resources makes the finding that the following classes of projects listed in the article do not have a significant effect. So the finding of whether there's a significant effect is made at the state level if the project applies to this. The City Attorney advised that under CEQA, it doesn't mandate that there be a subdivision, which is a separate issue. Mr. Gritchen asked if there was any consideration given to the cumulative effect as it relates to the entire area. The City Attorney responded that no analysis was made on a cumulative basis because CEQA has determined it is not a project. Mr. Gritchen remarked that it seemed it would be in the C!tV's best interest if consideration were given to cumulative effect and concerns could best be put to rest by having an environmental impact report done for the entire area. He formally made another request for an EIR because of the cumulative impact before anything else is done in that area. Councilmember Kerry asked if staff reviewed the cumulative effect of projects and the Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. No one else wished to speak. 9 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 12, 1996 It was moved by Councilmember Jones and seconded Councilmember Carroll to close the public hearing, direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-137, subject to conditions.

To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this matter. Councilmember Carroll again asked, for the record, why the City is not required or even permitted to ask for an EIR. The City Attorney responded that not only is the City not required to do an EIR, one cannot be imposed. The Community Development Director referred to Article 19, Categorical Exemptions, Section 15300 gives the definition of a categorical exemption and that is the section that refers to what the Secretary of Resources has found does not have a significant effect and they are declared to be categorically exempt and they shall be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Section 21084 of the Public Resources Code requires these guidelines to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources has found that the following classes of projects listed in this article do not have a significant effect on the environment and they are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Section 15315 discusses minor land divisions and describes Class 15 which consists of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial or industrial uses into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning, no variances or exceptions are required. All services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available. The parcel was not involved in the division of a larger parcel within the previous two years and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20%. it would be very difficult to make an argument that it is not consistent with General Plan or Zoning and that services and access to the site haven't been planned because that is what a Specific Plan does. The applicant wasn't in the audience. No one wished to speak in support of the application. Mr. Mike Gritchen said that he thought the developer would be putting in two driveways and not three. Because of this the developer has agreed to fund a portion of the third left turn lane from Valley View Street onto Katelia Avenue. He asked the Council to take into consideration the traffic impact and he did not recall any discussion on any project approval that discussed its cumulative impact on the area. 10 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 12, 1996 No one else wished to speak. it was moved by Councilmember carroll and seconded by Mayor Bowman to close the public hearing, direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act; and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-138, subject to conditions.
