WORKSHOP SESSION:
The Assistant City Manager stated that the Lemon and Lime neighborhood is a distinct
neighborhood in the City of Cypress, and staff views this as a proactive approach to
address potential issues and concerns in this area.
The Redevelopment Project Manager stated that the neighborhood is located next to
Cypress College near Orange Avenue and Valley View Street that consists of 27
residential lots with each having a fourplex. They are separately owned with
approximately 24 owners for the 27 lots. He stated that the property is zoned for high
density residential uses and is also in a combining zone, which means any new
buildings would require a Conditional Use Permit.
He stated that the location is within a benefit area with the household income for 72% of
the neighborhood population at or below 80% of the COUlnty median. This area is CDBG
fund eligible. He stated that neighborhood issues include: lack of adequate parking,
illegal dumping of trash in the alleys, deferred building maintenance, lack of recreational
amenities, and police issues.
The Redevelopment Project Manager stated that staff met with Jamboree Housing
Corporation, affordable housing consultant and developer, to discuss possible
opportunities. Jamboree Housing Corporation presented a proposal for a neighborhood
plan for this area. The plan scope includes City departments examining neighborhood
issues and opportunities, surveying property owners and residents regarding their
concerns, and preparing an assessment of needs and scope of plan based upon the
112

MARCH 27, 2006
data collected. He stated that the plan preparation would be based upon input received
from the property owners and residents during the initial survey process.
The Redevelopment Project Manager discussed the plan implementation strategy,
which includes exploring the feasibility and need for a homeowner's association,
cohesive property management, recreational amenities, community policing, and use of
CDBG funds for improvements.
He introduced Laura Archuleta, President, and Johanna Gullick, Housing Development
Director, for Jamboree Housing Corporation. He stated that staff would like to receive
Council authorization to move forward with the neighborhood improvement plan and
enter into a Consultant Services Agreement with Jamboree Housing Corporation.
Ms. Archuleta provided a brief overview of Jamboree Housing Corporation. She stated
that this neighborhood has issues of deterioration, bli!Jht, overcrowding, minor crime
issues, and affordability.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben asked about the cost and date of the feasibility study, and
history of Jamboree Housing Corporation.
Ms. Archuleta stated that Jamboree was incorporated approximately 16 years ago. She
stated that staff has been added to accommodate the large number of units they have
throughout the state. She stated that the cost is a fee for service, with the cost not to
exceed $22,000.00.
Council Member Seymore asked for clarification on the approach Jamboree Housing
Corporation will use with the property owners and control of overcrowding in the area.
Ms. Archuleta stated that when Jamboree owns the units, it is easier to control
overcrowding. The big challenge in this neighborhood is getting the multiple owners to
see the benefit of working collectively on this issue.
Council Member McGill stated that he liked the proposal and ideas but asked that the
City acquisition of any of the units to rehabilitate and renovate be a last option.
The Assistant City Manager stated that if that were to occur, it would only be a City
sponsored non-profit affordable housing development.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben expressed his concerns about the fee for service
arrangement.
The City Manager stated that the City does not have the staff to do these types of
feasibility studies and to hire staff would cost more than the proposal.
Mayor Sondhi stated that she has confidence in Jamboree based upon her experience
with them through the County Housing Commission.
It was the consensus of the City Council that staff move forward with the neighborhood
improvement plan and enter into a Consultant Services Agreement with Jamboree
Housing Corporation.
The City Attorney reported that the City Council would be meeting in Closed Session
regarding Conference with Legal Counsel - Anticipated Litigation, pursuant to
Government Code Section 54956.9(b), Number of cases: One.
At 6:15 p.m., the Mayor recessed the meeting.
7:00 P.M. SESSION:
The 7:00 p.m. session of the City Council meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by

there is a major problem in Cypress where this type of activity needs to be regulated
and putting regulation in where it is possibly not needed is not business-friendly.
