CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 83-2, EXPANSION OF BARRO'S PIZZA RESTAURANT,
6189-95 BALL ROAD, CYPRESS: Chris Eynon summarized the staff report dated October 1,
1984, stating that this item was continued to enable staff to research any previous parking
and rear access requirements pertaining to the parking area located north of Barro's Pizza.
Upon reviewing City records, staff discovered that when the plans were approved for
Cinnamon Square, the rear parking lot was designated empl.:)yee parking, and was enforced as
a condition of approval. Based on that information, staff dE~termined that the rear parking
should not be made available to the general public.
Mayor Partin suggested posting the area as "Employee Parking Only" and that the signs be
removed that indicate that additional parking is available in the rear.
Mr. Anthony Sanchez, 1727 North Mountain View Place, Fullerton, spoke in support of his
request and stated that the principal door of the business is the rear door and that when the
original plans were approved, the back door was approved as such.
Councilman Mullen suggested that an additional condition be added requiring that all rear
doors at 6189-95 Ball Road be designated as emergency exits only and contain locking alarm
devices.
Councilman Lacayo explained to Mr. Sanchez that the original Conditional Use Permit
designated the rear parking lot as employee parking only, adding that this condition cannot be
changed unless a public hearing is held and surrounding citi:~ens are notified.
Councilman Mullen added that if the back doors are required to remain closed, it is unlikely
that anyone would park or congregate in the rear, therefore signing the area as employee
parking only is not necessary.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to adopt the
Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Amendment No.2 to Conditional Use
Permit No. 83-2, subject to conditions, with an additional c:ondition requiring that all rear
doors be designated emergency exit only and contain locking alarm devices.

CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS, REQUEST
FO~ QUOTATION NO. 8485-12: A staff report was presented dated October 1, 1984, which
outlined the two bids received for legal advertisements for a three year contract period. The
low bidder, Buena Park News and Independent, has no paid subscriptions in the City of
Cypress. A paid circulation would indicate a greater reader interest, which meets the intent
of publishing legal notices. The higher bidder, News Enterprise, has provided reliable service
consecutively since January, 1973, and is familiar with the City's procedures and
requirements. News Enterprise's bid represents a 15% increase over the last contract, which
staff felt was reasonable. Therefore, staff recommended award of contract for legal
advertising to the News Enterprise.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to award the
contract for legal advertisements to News Enterprises, based on the legal square rates as
follows: $3.50 for first insertion, $2.80 for second insertion. The motion unanimously carried

Staff presented a report dated October 1, 1984, requesting the purchase of two traffic arrow
boards to be installed on the City street sweepers, which, at this time, are equipped only with
flashing amber lights. Staff feels that since the sweepers are in heavy traffic daily they
should be equipped with traffic control boards for added safety. Staff recommended
purchasing these two traffic arrow boards from The Suppliers, in the total amount of $413.40.
It was moved hy Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to authorize the
transfer of $414.00 from account 4527-90-656-35 to account 4528-90-656-35; and the
