Commission: to hold a one day special education workshop, scheduled for March 19, 1985; to
direct a communication to the Anaheim Unified School District Board regarding dress codes
and graduation requirements; to have input in programming for youth on cable television; and
to assist the American Legion with its annual Easter Egg Hunt to be held on April 6, 1985.
Each member of the Commission introduced himself and it was learned that all Youth
Commissioners attend Cypress High School. Councilman Coronado questioned why the other
high schools in the area are not represented. Sue Markell explained that no response was
received from any of the surrounding high schools.
Discussion ensued regarding whether it would be worth the effort to try to recruit
representatives from other local high schools.
Councilman Mullen requested, and the Council concurred, that staff write letters to the
principals of the high schools inviting each student body to select one to two students to
become part of the Youth Commission and represent their school.
Councilman Partin reviewed the goals with the Commission and suggested that one of the
Youth Commissioners be a representative on the Cable Television Advisory Committee.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: APPLICATION FOR
SPECIAL PERMIT - MR. JOSE B. OROZCO, D.B.A. 0 & D ENTERPRISES (CLEAN-IT-
BRIGHT): Mr. Essex presented a staff report dated November 20, 1984, a request for a

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO THE
ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 84-4: OUTDOOR STORAGE IN COMMERCIAL ZONES: Chris
Eynon presented the staff report dated November 16, 1984. At the Council meeting of
November 13, 1984, staff was directed to re-draft the proposed amendment to allow bulk
cargo carriers and similar storage facilities on a temporary basis in Commercial Zones.
Staff felt a second Ordinance was necessary because outdoor storage of miscellaneous items
still remained a problem in Commercial Zones. The first Ordinance would allow for the
temporary storage of bulk cargo carriers, trailers and similar storage facilities in
Commercial Zones subject to a Conditional Use Permit; the second Ordinance would prohibit
outdoor storage in all Commercial Zones.
Councilman Mullen expressed concern over the prohibition of outdoor storage in all
Commercial Zones and suggested that the Planning Department issue the permit subject to
appeal to the City Council to simplify the process, rather than requiring a CUP. Ms. Eynon
stated that the Design Review Committee could review the case at staff level allowing for
an appeal to the Council. Councilman Mullen indicated that he would be in support of that
suggested procedure.
Mr. Buddy Wilson, Sales Director for Haulaway Storage Containers, 11292 Western, Stanton,
asked for clarification whether the Council's intention regarding outdoor storage was to ban
it completely or to control the use. Mr. Wilson added that using the terminology "cargo
carriers" gives a poor impression of the containers.
Mr. Ted Paike, General Manager of Mervyn's Department Store, spoke in opposition to the
Ordinances, and indicated that he was contacted by local residents who voiced their support
for the storage containers located behind Mervyn's.
Councilman Coronado indicated that the 15 storage containers located behind Mervyn's equal
over 3,000 square feet of floor space, and stated that Mervyn's should lease a building and
truck the merchandise to the store when needed. Councilman Coronado added that he would
not support an Ordinance permitting the temporary use of bulk cargo containers, trailers and
other similar temporary storage facilities.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to approve the first
reading of the Ordinance by title only, title as follows, amending Section 10.1 Permitted and
Conditional Uses, of Ordinance No. 640 of the Zoning Ordinance and to continue the proposed
Ordinance amending Section 10.3 Performance Standards, Commercial Zones of Ordinance
No. 640 to the first Council meeting in December.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: WARLANDjCYPRESS BUSINESS CENTER,
SPECIFIC PLAN AND FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT, AND ZONE CHANGE: Chris Eynon distributed amended copies of the
Resolutions to the Council and summarized the staff report dated November 16, 1984,
outlining a proposal from the WarlandjCypress Business Center, for development of their
212-acres located in the 542-acre Cypress Business Park. The Warland Company's desire to
continue the construction of their property, the ongoing development of the rest of the
Cypress Business Park, and the resulting potential cumulative impacts upon City services,
traffic and other environmental concerns are all issues which Ms. Eynon explained needed to
be addressed. Therefore, staff directed preparation of a Specific Plan, to ensure the future
compatibility of this property's development with the surrounding community; an
Environmental Impact Report, which will identify, and provide appropriate mitigation
measures for the potential adverse impacts which may result from this project; and a Fiscal
Impact Analysis, which analyzes the fiscal consequences to the City of Cypress associated
with the development of the Center. Included with this request for Specific Plan and Final

November Z6, 1~~
EIR approval is General Plan Amendment No. 84-1, which makes consistent all proposed land
uses with the General Plan Land Use designation of Industrial/Business Park, and Zone
Change No. 84-1, which redesignates the entire 21Z-acres to PC-4, Planned Community
Commercial/Light Industrial Zone No.4.
In response to a question from Councilman Lacayo, Chris Eynon explained that the City
Council could continue any or all of the items related to the Warland/Cypress Business
Center, but that the actions must be taken in the following order: 1) Adoption of the
Resolution overruling the Airport Land Use Commission's ruling of inconsistency; Z) Adoption
of the Resolution certifying the review of the Final Environmental Impact Report;
3) Adoption of the Resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 84-1; 4) Approval
of the Resolution approving or denying Specific Plan No. 84-1; and 5) Adoption of an
Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 640, by changing the Zone classification on the property.
Ms. Eynon pointed out that while working through the EIR process the main area of concern
that was voiced by other agencies contacted was the issue of traffic.
Bob Beardsley addressed the traffic issue with a summary to Council concerning what has
been done to mitigate the traffic concerns.
Ms. Eynon reported that the attorney had recommended an additional condition, Condition
No.7, to Section 3.C1 of the Specific Plan, to read as follows: "Building heights shall not
exceed 150 feet in any event". Ms. Eynon also pointed out some minor changes to the
Resolutions and the attached Exhibits.
Mayor Kanel requested that in the future all document pages be numbered to enable Council
to find the pages in question.
Ms. Eynon stated that Council must also consider overruling the determination of the Airport
Land Use Commission of the County of Orange regarding the consistency of the War1and/
Cypress Business Center Specific Plan for the City of Cypress with the Airport Environs Land
Use Plan for Orange County and making certain findings. The Plan was submitted to the
AL DC and found to be inconsistent.
Councilman Coronado expressed concern over the projected increase of 31,Z80 cars on Valley
View Street and Katella Avenue, stressing the need to find alternate means to avoid traffic
congestion.
Mr. Phillip Schwartz, Vice President of Phillips Brandt Reddick, 1801Z Skypark Circle, Irvine,
the firm that produced the Specific Plan, Em, a detailed traffic report, and a Fiscal Impact
report, spoke in support of the project and presented three Exhibits: A Development Plan,
which shows the plan areas referred to; property and surrounding land uses adjacent to the
Warland Property, to study the effect this development would have on those properties and
vice-versa; and a phasing plan, that displays the way the developer ultimately forsees the
2I2-acres being developed. Mr. Schwartz added that the reasons for the few changes in the
documents were to be sure of consistency with the CEQA guidelines, and that all of the facts
and findings were more clearly delineated and available for Council in the future.
Discussion ensued regarding the traffic congestion and the proposed use of Holder Street to
help alleviate traffic, with Councilman Coronado stating his opinion that Holder Street
should only be used for residential traffic, not for commercial and industrial vehicles.
Councilman Coronado stressed that at this time he would not consider any discussion on the
opening of Holder Street with regard to this project.
Mr. Schwartz made reference to Exhibit F, Page 2, Item 5, Paragraph 1, and asked the City
Council to eliminate the additional ten feet of widening that staff had requested on Valley
View Street, between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Avenue.
Bob Beardsley stated that the staff felt that the additional ten feet was required in this area
for various traffic concerns and requested Mr. Dan Schiada, City of Cypress Traffic
Engineer, to explain the need for this additional widening. Mr. Schiada indicated that this
right-of-way would be used for merging traffic going south on Valley View Street, near
Katella Avenue, in conjunction with the free right turn lane and would also provide an
emergency lane for parking for southbound traffic and would provide a right turn pocket at
Valley View Street and Orangewood Avenue.
RECESS: At 9:47 p.m., Mayor Kanel called a recess, and the meeting reconvened at 10:0Z
p.m.
The City Council indicated that the staff should meet with the developer to resolve the issue

of the additional ten feet of right-of-way on Valley View Street prior to the Council taking
action on the Specific Plan.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to continue the
Specific Plan to the December 10th Council meeting, stating that Council is in agreement
with the Resolution as submitted, with the exception of Item No.5 to be discussed between
staff and applicant.
Councilman Partin expressed concern over Item No.4 of the Specific Plan regarding the
landscaped earth berm buffer, and requested that Mr. Essex provide an updated reported
regarding the feasibility of a berm, and possible alternatives for screening the property,
adding that he is not in support of construction of a berm.
Councilman Lacayo and Councilman Mullen agreed to incorporate Councilman Partin's
concern into the motion, that Item Nos. 4 and 5 would be reviewed before approval of the
Specific Plan, adding to the motion that the Zone Change is also to be continued, again
stating for the record that the Council finds the Zone Change in agreement, but will not
adopt it tonight due to the continuance of the Specific Plan.
Councilman Coronado reiterated that he cannot support any plan that includes the opening of
Holder Street.

Councilman Coronado asked what position had been taken to the proposal earlier in the
evening regarding the 150-foot height limitation.

CONSIDERATION OF BID FOR INSTALLING ONE (1) NATURAL GAS BACK-UP ENGINE AT
PUMPING STATION NO.1 ON MYRA AVENUE, CITY OF CYPRESS PROJECT NO. 8445-
90: A staff report dated N ovem ber 14, 1984, was presented summarizing the one bid
received for installation of one natural gas-propane engine to run one pump at Pump Station
No.1 on Myra Avenue, including a micro-processor based controller. The bid of
$76,502.32 from Waukesha Engine Servicenter, Inc., was 66.31% over the engineer's estimate
of $46,000. Due to the cost increase, an alternate method of providing power failure
operating capability to one or both pumps at the pumping station was investigated. It has
been determined that the use of an emergency generator with an automatic transfer switch
was the best solution for the situation at Pump Station No. 1. The estimated cost of the
emergency generator is approximately $65,000.
It was moved by Councilman Partin and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to reject the bid of
Waukesha Engine Servicenter, Incorporated, in the amount of $76,502.32, and to authorize
the advertisement for bids to purchase an emergency generator set to run one (1) electric
pump at Pump Station No.1 on Myra Avenue. The motion unanimously carried by the
