PERMIT NO. 83-19, CONVERSION OF RECREATION ROOM TO 2-BEDROOM APARTMENT
UNIT AND DENSITY BONUS, 5582 CRESCENT AVENUE: Chris Eynon summarized the staff
report dated July 16, 1984, which outlines a request to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 83-
19, (7-unit apartment complex located at 5582 Crescent Avenue), to allow the conversion of
the recreation room into a 2-bedroom apartment for a total of 8 units. Since present zoning
only allows a total of 7 units on the site, the applicant is requesting a I-unit density bonus
allowance as provided for by the State of California. The State law does provide for a
density bonus of at least 25 % if the applicant agrees to retain at least 25% of the units for
persons or families of low or moderate income. With this density bonus, 2 units would be
required to be rented to persons of low or moderate income. Staff recommended approval of
the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 83-19, subject to the two conditions contained
in the staff report.
Mr. Bart Saglietto, applicant, 4232 Pierson Drive, Huntington Beach, was present to support
this request, and in response to a question from Council, indicated his willingness to rent two
units to persons of low or moderate income.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to close the public
hearing and adopt a Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving the amendment to
Conditional Use Permit 83-19 and density bonus, with conditions.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: VARIANCE NO. 84-4, 2-STORY STRUCTURE
WITHIN 5-FEET OF PROPERTY LINE, 8571 LA HOMA: Chris Eynon presented the staff
report dated July 13, 1984, a request to construct a 2-story residential unit addition within
five feet of the side yard property line, at a single family residence located at 8571 La Homa
Street. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum setback of ten feet for 2-story
structures. Staff is concerned with the overall site layout of the project which is designed so
that it could easily be converted into three 2-bedroom apartment rental units which would
not only violate the intent of the RM-15/ A Zone, but would result in severe parking
problems. The project could be designed as a single story, or 2-story structure with ten-foot
setback, and still achieve two units of ample square footage. Staff recommended denial as
submitted and that the applicant be directed to revise the plan to meet the City's zoning

denial.

INCORPORATED: Mr. Essex reviewed the staff report dated July 18, 1984, summarizing a
communication received from Bruce Robbins, Executive Director of Straight Talk Clinic,
Incorporated, requesting the City to allocate $10,000 in the 1984/85 Fiscal Year in support of
the Straight Talk Clinic and renew the five-year lease agreement for the facility on Camp
Street which expires on July 31,1984. The 1984/85 City budget has sufficient funds for the
Straight Talk's request; however, in the event the Council approves the funding, it has been
agreed that the payment would be made in 12 equal monthly installments rather than a lump
sum payment. It is also recommended that the lease agreement be extended for a five-year
period which is subject to a 30-day cancellation clause by either party.

CONSIDERATION OF UPDATE INFORMATION ON HOLDER STREET OPENING ACROSS
STANTON STORM CHANNEL: Mr. Essex presented a staff report dated July 17, 1984, an
informational update on the Holder Street Opening across Stanton Storm Channel. The staff
report presented in October, 1983, recommended that Holder Street be connected across the
Stanton Channel; this continues to be the ultimate recommended action. The Council
directed staff to report at 6-month intervals on the status of the traffic conditions on Holder
Street. It is staff's opinion that such time intervals would :not reveal substantive changes, but
that annual analyses would be more relevant in comparing data.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to receive and file
this report and direct staff to present traffic condition updates annually, rather than at 6-
month intervals, beginning in June, 1985. The motion unanimously carried.
Councilman Kanel requested that the updated information on the Holder Street opening
across the Stanton Storm Channel be published in the upcoming Newsletter to provide
information to the public.

request of Mayor Partin, the City Attorney's office had prepared an appropriate Resolution
relating to placing on the November 6, 1984 ballot the issue of repealing the two-term
limitation for City Council members.
Councilman Mullen and Councilman Kanel concurred that this item would have a poor chance
of passing, therefore felt that it should not be placed on the November ballot.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to receive and file
this report.
Mayor Partin stated his opinion that because of the two term limitation, the effectiveness of
the Council member is decreased; the Council Member 10sIes the incentive to work hard to
achieve goals in the second term because of the lack of opportunity for serving a third term.
Mayor Partin also felt that a two term limitation prevented Cypress Councilman from
serving on other County, State and Federal Boards and Commissions.
Mayor Partin so ordered it received and filed.
