was not on the Agenda.
Barbara Howell, 4452 Patricia Drive, Cypress, spoke in connection with Item No.1 on the
Agenda concerning the construction of a restaurant at 4499 Cerritos A venue. Mrs. Howell
expressed her opinion that J.R.'s Place, a beer bar located north of the proposed restaurant
site, is an eyesore and should be removed.
Ron Howell, 4452 Patricia Drive, Cypress reported that years ago the City Attorney had
indicated that the zoning classification for the beer bar would change and subsequently the
bar would be removed.
Councilman Mullen suggested that staff research the status of the bar and return with a
report. Mayor Kanel so ordered.
Mayor Kanel declared the Public Hearings now open.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 85-9, RESTAURANT IN CN ZONE, 4499 CERRITOS AVENUE, CYPRESS: The
Planning Director presented a staff report dated May 2, 1985. The City Council continued
this item from the meeting of April 22 due to the applicant's failure to adequately notice all
property owners with 300 feet of the subject site, as required by State law. The error has
been corrected and all property owners within 300 feet have been duly notified. This
application is a request to construct a 2,796 square foot sit-down, family-style restaurant at
4499 Cerritos A venue which does not serve alcohol and is not affiliated with the adjoining
bar. Staff felt that the proposed use conforms to the intent and zoning of the Commercial
Neighborhood Zone and will provide a convenient service to the businesses and residents in
the surrounding area and, therefore, recommended approval subject to conditions. Mr. Essex
read a letter into the record that had been submitted by Deigh Boyd, Attorney, on behalf of
Barbara Oswalt, which indicated that she was not in opposition to the proposed project, but
was concerned that adequate parking would be available.
The Planning Director indicated that ample parking would exist and reported that a few
phone calls had been received inquiring whether: 1) the restaurant would be a drive-thru; 2)
serve alcohol; 3) involve an expansion of the adjoining bar (J.R.'s Place); or 4) become a hang
out for kids.
Mr. Richard Borden, 4457 East La Palma, Anaheim, Project Engineer, spoke in support of the
project and was present to answer questions from the Council.
Mr. John Argyros, 2398 Spring Street, Long Beach, property owner, was present in support of
approval.
Mr. John Buzas, from the law offices of Sam Gabriel, was present to address Council
concerns.
Mrs. Barbara Howell, 4452 Patricia Drive, again spoke concerning the project and stressed
the need for adequate parking and her opposition to the possibility of overflow cars parking in
the alley.
Mr. Ron Beglin, 4492 Patricia Drive, explained that heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic

exists behind the bar and that the alley behind the center is used for employees' cars, as well
as trucks parking for the weekend. Mr. Beglin indicated his main concern to be the speeding
vehicles driving from the alley onto Denni and suggested speed bumps to control the speed.
Mr. Beglin concluded by reporting that the City does not clean the sidewalks at the corner of
Patricia and Denni.
It was moved by Councilman Partin and seconded by Councilman Mullen to close the public
hearing and to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Conditional Use
Permit No. 85-9 subject to conditions.

EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING SERVICE STATION, 9500 VALLEY VIEW STREET,
CYPRESS: Planning Director Chris Eynon presented a staff report dated May 6, 1985, which
represents a request to expand an existing service station to install an additional gasoline
island containing two gasoline pump dispensers and expansion of the existing canopy at 9500
Valley View Street. During an inspection of the site staff had observed an outdoor car lift
measuring approximately 10' by 20' located to the south of the building which was
constructed without a permit and is not in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. Staff
indicated that it would be necessary to remove the outdoor car lift structure in order to
comply with the Zoning Ordinance and provide the necessary aisle width. The remainder of
the site is substantially in conformance with the development standards of the CG
Com merciaI General Zone with the exception of the landscaped areas. Landscaped planters
are required adjacent to the block walls located along the east and south property lines. Ms.
Eynon requested the addition of Condition No. 13, to read that "no sign shall be displayed for
which permits are not issued".
Tufan Ince, 3701 Wilshire, Suite 830, Los Angeles, asked for clarification of Condition Nos. 7,
8 ,md 9. Mr. Ince requested that Condition No.3, which states that the corner cut-off
easement shall be dedicated to the City for roadway purposes, be deleted.
Public Works Director Bob Beardsley indicated that Condition No.3 is a standard condition,
but that staff would investigate to determine if that requirement could be deleted.
There was no opposition to this request.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to close the public
hearing and to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving Conditional Use
Permit No. 85-10 subject to conditions, to include the addition of Condition No. 13, with
Condition No.3 to be determined by the Public Works Director.
