CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE

PROJECT AND DENSITY BONUS ALLOWANCE, 5462 DE LONG STREET: Planning Director
Chris Eynon presented a staff report dated June 4, 1985. This application was continued until
a formal Density Bonus Policy could be reviewed and approved. On June 3, 1985, the Council
adopted a City-wide Density Bonus Policy to be applied to the subject property. The policy
requires that half of the density bonus units be sold to persons whose income does not exceed
100% of the area median income and the other half to persons whose income does not exceed
120% of the area median income. In addition, the payments would be limited to 30% of the
eligible purchaser's income and the purchaser would be required to occupy the unit for a
period of five years. The concerns expressed previously by the neighboring residents have
been addressed in the conditions as follows: Condition No. 10 states that De Long Street
shall be fully improved with curb, 6-foot sidewalk back of curb, driveway, etc., in accordance
with the City's Master Plan of Streets; Condition No. 14 states that the street trees shall be
installed in back of the public sidewalk in conformance to the street tree policy and be
incorporated with the on-site landscape plan; and Condition No. 21 addresses the trash
enclosure concern, stating that the developer shall provide an adequate number of trash
enclosures on-site and at a location acceptable to City staff.
Ms. Eynon distributed copies of an Amendment to Condition No. 26 to read: "Consistent with
the Density Bonus Policy, the developer shall, prior to the issuance of any building permits,
enter into a written agreement with the City regulating the use of the density bonus units, in
accordance with adopted City policy requiring that such units be made available to persons
satisfying income criteria. The agreement shall be recordable, and shall be in a format
acceptable to the City Attorney".
Mayor Kanel summarized the special meeting that was held on June 3, 1985, to review the
Density Bonus Criteria and legal limitations.
Mr. Bob Gilbert, Manor Builders, 4552 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, was present in support of
approval and indicated his agreement to all conditions.
Mr. Jesse Black, 5422 DeLong Street, spoke in support of the project.
Mr. Don Gravley, 5441 DeLong Street, spoke in opposition and asked for clarification
regarding the density bonus units and how they are controlled. Ms. Eynon responded that it is
included as part of the deed and the property cannot be sold at market value for five years.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Coronado to close the
public hearing and to adopt the Resolutions by titles only, titles as follow, approving
Tentative Tract Map No. 12385 and Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 85-7 with
conditions, and to include the Amendment to Condition No. 26.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 85-11, 20
APARTMENT UNITS AND DENSITY BONUS ALLOWANCE AT 5292 AND 5302 BISHOP
STREET: The Planning Director presented a staff report dated June 4, 1985, for a request to
construct twenty two-story self-contained apartment units with attached garages on a .87
acre site located at 5292 and 5302 Bishop Street in the Residential Multiple-Family Zone, and
a request for a three-unit density bonus allowance. The site presently contains two duplexes
approximately 60 years old and in need of repair. According to the recently adopted Density
Bonus Policy, this project must be held as affordable housing for a period of ten years. The
developer would be required to enter into an agreement with the City Council outlining the
terms of the Density Bonus Policy prior to the issuance of any building permits.
Ms. Eynon reported that the staff is pleased with the proposal and that the applicant has
worked diligently with staff. Ms Eynon indicated that no communications had been received,
but that earlier in the meeting she had spoken with a few neighbors adjacent to this site who
were opposed to the project. Ms. Eynon recommended that if the project is approved that
Condition No. 21 read as follows: "Consistent with the Density Bonus Policy, the developer
shall, prior to the issuance of any building permits, enter into a written agreement with the
City regulating the use of the density bonus units, in accordance with adopted City policy
requiring that such units be made available to persons satisfying income criteria. The
agreement shall be recordable, and shall be in a format acceptable to the City Attorney. The
agreement shall be in effect for ten years".
Mr. Steven Provenghi, 9291 Lexington Street, Cypress, Applicant, spoke in support of the
project and indicated agreement to all conditions.
Mr. Bill Holden, 5262 Bishop Street, spoke in opposition to the project and asked for
clarification of the density bonus issue. Ms. Eynon summarized the procedure used to obtain
and monitor the families qualified to utilize the program.
Mr. Edward Huebler, 5293 Vista del Sol, spoke in opposition to the proposal, indicating that
his privacy would be lost. Mr. Huebler also inquired whether a traffic study has been
conducted in connection with the proposed senior citizen housing site on Grindlay Street.
Public Works Director Bob Beardsley reported that his department has looked into the traffic
conditions on Grindlay Street and it appears to be able to accommodate an increase in
vehicles. Mr. Huebler questioned whether the old trees on the property would remain, if
adequate parking would exist and whether the roof mounted equipment would be screened
from his view. In response, Mr. Provenghi indicated that two of the trees would remain. Ms.
Eynon added that adequate parking would exist and the roof mounted equipment would be
screened from his view.
Ms. Eynon explained that a number of the residents with whom she talked expressed concern
over the potential loss of their privacy. Ms. Eynon added that one alternative would be to
eliminate the rear windows, indicating that the plans include a 30-foot setback, as well as a
6-foot wall to protect the privacy of those backing the project.
Councilman Lacayo requested that staff conduct a study the future impact of traffic in the
area, specifically at the location of the project in question.
Mr. Joel Rehagen, 5303 Vista del Sol, indicated that his major concern is the loss of privacy,
and the noise created by the close proximity of the apartments to his home. Mr. Rehagen
suggested a modification to Condition No.3, to construct a slumpstone wall higher than 6
feet to discourage trespassing and to provide a better sound barrier. Ms. Eynon reported that
the wall can be no higher than 7-foot unless a Variance is granted.

City Council Minutes
June 10, 1985
Councilman Partin expressed his concern that the construction of a wall at the rear of the
project would create a tunnel affect around the culvert due to the existing wall, thereby
creating a hiding place for vandalists and thiefs.
Councilman Coronado indicated his support for a wall and fast growing shrubbery that would
act as an effective sight and sound barrier.
Mrs. Angie Rehagen, 5303 Vista del Sol, spoke in opposition to the project and expressed
concern for the safety of the children playing at the rear of the proposed complex and voiced
her opinion that the property values would decrease because of the location of the project to
the existing homes.
Mr. Don Gravley, 5441 DeLong, expressed concern over the potential problems created by the
culvert being located between the two walls.
Mr. Provenghi indicated that elimination of the rear windows and installation of the more
mature shrubbery is agreeable to him. Mr. Provenghi did express concern over the wall and
the problems that may be created. He indicated that he could extend the wall to the
neighbors homes thereby preventing walk-through traffic to the culvert.
Discussion continued regarding the wall and Councilman Lacayo warned that a wall must
exist to protect the City against liability.
Mayor Kanel suggested that staff monitor the project to insure that the density bonus units
are placed toward the front of the complex.
Councilman Mullen suggested that the landscaping at the rear of the property be of a variety
which would discourage utilization of this area for recreational purposes.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado to close the
public hearing and to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 85-11 - with the twenty-two conditions recommended by staff,
including the amended language of Condition No. 21, and with the following added
conditions: No. 23, that the three density bonus units are to be located on the front one-half
of the property, with the exact location to be determined by staff; No. 24, all second-story
windows proposed for the south elevation shall be removed; No. 25, no play equipment shall
be permitted in the thirty-foot rear yard setback. Landscaping in this area shall be of a
variety which discourages utilization of this setback for recreational purposes; No. 26,
twenty-four inch box, Cupressocyparis Leylandi trees, seven-foot on center, shall be planted
along the rear wall for screening purposes; and the Amendment to Condition No.3 shall
read: "A minimum six-foot high block wall, measured from the highest adjacent grade, shall
be constructed along the east and west property lines. A seven-foot high block wall,
measured from the highest adjacent grade, shall be constructed along the south property
lines. A retaining wall per City standards shall be constructed at the property line where the
grade difference is greater than twelve inches. A six-inch concrete curb shall be constructed
per City standards to protect all block walls and structures exposed to vehicular traffic".
Councilman Partin indicated that he supports the project and would support the motion,
however, he does not agree with the wall concept and requested that the Public Works and
Planning Departments meet with the City Manager, Mr. Provenghi, the Chief and the
residents in the area to study the concerns expressed regarding construction of the wall.
Councilman Mullen and Councilman Coronado indicated that they would amend their motion
and delete the wall issue until further consideration could be taken.
Councilman Lacayo stressed the importance in closing the culvert as soon as possible to avoid
liability.
Councilman Mullen and Councilman Coronado withdrew the amendment to their motion, and
the motion stood as originally proposed.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: EXTENSION OF ORDINANCE NO. 732,
WHICH ENACTED A ZONING MORATORIUM ON FORTUNE-TELLING BUSINESSES, BY
EXTENDING THE TERM FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR: The Planning Director presented a
staff report dated June 3, 1985. At the August 27, 1984, City Council meeting, an Ordinance
was adopted extending a zoning moratorium on fortune-telling businesses for a period of ten
months and fifteen days. Staff is presently studying the regulation of fortune-telling
businesses and has determined that adequate additional time is necessary to perform a
complete analysis of the subject matter. The Government Code permits the initial extension
of ten months and fifteen days to be extended for a final term of one year. Therefore, staff
recommended that this time extension be granted.
Mr. Edward Huebler, 5293 Vista del Sol, inquired whether hypnotherapists were included in
this Ordinance. Staff read the City Code and indicated that they were not.
Dorothy Mitchell, Huntington Park, indicated that she would like to open a palm reading
business in Cypress and asked whether this Ordinance would prohibit her doing so. Staff
responded in the affirmative and clarified the intention of the Ordinance.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt the Ordinance by title only, title as follows.

application from Mr. Grant Johnson, D.B.A. American Synergy Corporation, 4522 Eisenhower
Circle, for a Special Permit to allow the door-to-door solicitation of energy conservation and
fire prevention products in the City of Cypress. The Police Department has been unable to
complete its investigation since the applicant has been out of town, therefore staff requested
that this public hearing be continued to the meeting of June 24, 1985.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman Mullen and unanimously
carried 5-0, to continue this item to the meeting of June 24, 1985.
AWARD OF CONTRACTS:

ULTRASONIC CLEANING DEVICE: A staff report was presented dated May 29, 1985,
outlining the quotations received from five vendors for the purchase of one Ultrasonic
Cleaning Device to be used to clean all of the City's armory of firearms. This use would
result in a savings to the City by eliminating the need to send the firearms to a gunsmith for
cleaning.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to transfer $592.00
from Account No. 4113-11-161-05 to Account No. 4551-90-656-35 and award the contract for

and minor electrical alterations. Calico Electric, who has furnished the electrical
maintenance and minor electrical alterations to the City, has indicated a willingness to
furnish electrical services to the City for an additional two years at the same rates quoted in
1983.

CONSIDERATION OF REPAIRS TO WATER DISTRIBUTION TRUCK: A staff report was

water distribution truck due to a mechanical failure. Valew Welding Company, which
originally installed the truck's pump system, has determined that the pump and pump motor
must be rebuilt and an air-controlled clutch should be installed which would disengage the
pump while not in use, thus prolonging its life.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to allocate $3,200
from the unappropriated reserves of the Central Service Fund to Account No. 4159-90-621.08
and dispense with regular bidding procedures and authorize water truck repairs by Valew
Welding, 7759 East Alondra, Paramount, in the amount of $3,000 plus tax. The motion

CONSIDERATION OF REPAIRS TO COUNCIL CHAMBER ELEVATOR: A staff report was
presented dated June 3, 1985, outlining the three bids received for the installation of a new
valve that would level the elevator when it stops at each floor. Presently the elevator tends
to stop at a level slightly below the floor, thus creating considerable liability to the City
should a passenger be caused to fall. Staff recommended installation of the unit by Western
Elevator Company since that company carries the service contract on the Council Chamber
elevator, with the condition that Western Elevator Company provides prior written assurance
that by replacing the valve but not replacing the door operator, the elevator will be safe.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin to allocate $3,100
from the unappropriated reserves of the Central Service Fund to Account No. 4156-90-624.08
and authorize the necessary repairs to the Council Chamber elevator by Western Elevator
Company, 16305 S. Tiuma Avenue, Suite 100, Cerritos, in the amount of $3,100. The motion

per hour.

CONSIDERATION OF A WARD OF CONTRACT FOR DICTATION/TRANSCRIPTION
EQUIPMENT, REQUEST FOR QUOTATION NO. 8485-45: A staff report was presented dated
June 3, 1985, outlining the two bids received for the purchase of microcassette
dictation/transcription equipment for the Recreation and Park District. Neither of the two
accepted bids has the electronic indexing feature, which was found to fit the needs of the
District. Therefore, staff recommended that the bids be rejected and that requests for
quotation be reissued for bids on the Lanier Microcassette, Norelco minicassette, and Sony
Elite microcassette models that would be considered equal to the Lanier "Insight" model.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Partin, and acting as the
