CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: SPECIFIC PLAN #86-1 AND FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT #86-1, AND ZONE
CHANGE #86-1, LOS ALAMITOS RACE TRACK AND GOLF COURSE (CYPRESS PLAZA):
The City Attorney advised that a joint hearing could be conducted by the City Council and
Cypress Redevelopment Agency to consider all items on the agenda pertaining to the Los
Alamitos Race Track property.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded by Councilman Mullen and unanimously carried
that the Mayor serve as acting Chairman of the Cypress Redevelopment Agency during the
public hearing.
Acting Chairman Lacayo called the meeting of the Cypress Redevelopment Agency to order
at 7:46 p.m. with Agency Members Coronado, Kanel, Mullen, Partin and Lacayo present.
Mayor Lacayo opened the joint public hearing of the City Council and Cypress
Redevelopment Agency.
The City Manager summarized a staff report dated September 18 which reviewed the basic
provisions of the Owner Participation Agreement between the City and Hollywood Park
relating to Hollywood Park's capital improvements to the property and their sharing of tax
revenues with the City. Mr. Essex reported that staff received a letter today from
Hollywood Park indicating that they reviewed and accept the provisions of the Agreement.
The Planning Director reviewed a report dated September 17 which contained a summary of
Council actions necessary for complete approval of the project. She stated conditions of the
original staff report dated August 6 still apply and the September 17 report contains
additional and amended conditions. Mrs. Eynon reported the following changes were made in
Exhibit D, conditions #2 and 5 of the original report: development agreement was changed to
owner participation agreement, City was changed to Cypress Redevelopment Agency, and the
August date was changed to a September date.
Councilman Partin asked that staff explain why the Redevelopment Agency was involved in
the development program. Mr. Essex stated the City Attorney recommended that the
Redevelopment Agency be used as a more flexible mechanism to enter the agreement for the
construction of improvements adjacent to the specific plan area. The City Attorney stated
the Redevelopment Agency has certain powers to purchase and sell property and promote
public improvements and it is a more suitable vehicle than the City.
Mayor Lacayo declared the joint hearing open and asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Mr. Noel Hatch, attorney for Hollywood Park, stated they have had detailed and productive
negotiations with staff on the owner participation agreement and they look forward to
working with the City and the various golf groups. Mr. Hatch requested clarification of
Condition #23 of the Specific Plan which states that "a panoramic view of the Race Track
from all points on Katella is to be maintained at all times". He stated that currently the
Race Track cannot be seen from all points because of trees and other buildings, the applicant
does not propose high rise buildings on Katella, but they do not want to be in a situation
where they will be unable to comply with this condition. Mr. Hatch suggested that other
language be used to ensure that the visibility and integrity of the Race Track be maintained
at the main entrance at Siboney. He stated his only concern is that a 2-story building may
cut off visibility.
Councilman Mullen stated the Council's intent is that the integrity of the clubhouse structure
is to be part of the streetscape. He stated the "all points" language may be overly restrictive
and he suggested that it be deleted and that the issue of a panoramic view be left up to
reasonable interpretation by the Council. Mr. Hatch stated this was acceptable.
Mayor Lacayo asked if there were other speakers.

City Council Minutes
September 22, 1986
Mr. Hank Hickey, 4322 Fontainbleau, Cypress, representing the Industrial and Commercial
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, reported that they polled the membership and a
substantial number of businesses within the impact area on the proposed zone change and the
results were heavily in favor of the zone change. Mr. Hickey stated the Chamber
sympathizes with the developer and those persons desiring a golf course and hopes both sides
will strive to develop a new golf course on the government property.
Mr. Vern Winsberg, attorney, 15303 Ventura Boulevard, #800, Sherman Oaks, stated that
racing dates have been removed, parking is decreased, and the purse has been reduced taking
away the incentive for racing at Los Alamitos. He asked that the Council consider whether _
income from commercial uses will compensate for the reduction in racing dates. Mr.
Winsberg asked what the $5 million will buy in improvements and if money spent at a later
date will be deflated. He questioned whether the Race Track was better off following the
purchase by Hollywood Park. Mr. Winsberg stated the Council's primary concern should be
protection of the City's tax base.
Mrs. Marjorie Everett, Chairman of the Board of Hollywood Park Operating Company,
responded to several of the previous comments and questioned how a person not involved in
racing could be an expert in this highly specialized field. Mrs. Everett discussed her 45 year
background in racing, the $80 million investment the Company made to expand and improve
Hollywood Park, the unfounded rumors following their purchase of Los Alamitos, the fact
that the racing industry has suffered problems and been affected by the State lottery, and
her Company's intentions to invest in facility improvements to attract a wider audience and
make Los Alamitos a major racing facility which will be a credit to the City and racing
industry. Mrs. Everett stated the Company would not make the large investment to attract
more people unless they knew how to provide accommodations for them, beginning with
parking, and she pledged that they will work closely with staff on development of the
property and they will provide a first class race track. Mrs. Everett stated they paid a
premium price for the track and counted on using revenue from development of the property
to improve the faCility. She stated they hoped for development that will complement the
track. Mrs. Everett stated they want to contribute to the community, they have taken the
neighbors' criticisms to heart, and they are interested in keeping the panoramic view of the
track in order to lure patrons. Mrs. Everett stated the Council has their pledge that they will
fulfill every representation they have made.
,,,",,,,,,
Mayor Lacayo requested that speakers restrict their comments to the subjects of the hearing
which are the zone change, Specific Plan, EIR and related conditions.
Mr. Winsberg stated his opinion on the zone change is that the City would be making a
mistake without ironclad written agreements on preservation of the Race Track and
protection of the tax base. He stated erosion of parking spaces will not increase
attendance. Mr. Winsberg felt that in looking at the record, the revenues and number and
type of races, Los Alamitos was not better off since its purchase by Hollywood Park.
Mr. George Manfredi, attorney representing the Horsemen's Quarterhorse Racing
Association, stated he will not discuss the lawsuit filed by his clients which involves a dispute
over the extent of their leased premises at the Race Track facililty. He stated the
Association is an expert and has run the quarterhorse meets for 14 years at Los Alamitos, and
they have 15 years remaining on their current lease. Mr. Manfredi stated the Association
does not oppose development of portions of the property as long as it does not interfere with
their lease rights. He stated they recognize that some development of the property is
essential if they are to reach the goal of enhancement, expansion and improvement of the
facility. Mr. Manfredi discussed the following concerns of the Association:
(1)
The current plan does not provide adequate parking for racing, and the 8,500 spaces
are insufficient. On several occasions, like promotional nights, the Association has
parked 9,000 cars, and track records will show occasions during the last 3 years where
11,000 cars were parked at the track. The Association questioned where parking will
be provided for the increased attendance which is anticipated after the track
expansion/im provem ent.
.'''''*?
(2) Based on their experience, the Association felt the 8-foot-wide parking stalls are too
narrow, and no racing facility in California will have spaces this narrow. Mr. Manfredi
stated that 8 1/2 to 9 feet is the minimum.
(3) If ingress/egress to Los Alamitos is reduced or congested, it will make the facility less
attractive to patrons and will impact traffic flow outside the facility. Mr. Manfredi
stated the plan proposes the closure of the pass gate used by grooms, jockeys, etc. and
requires them to use the main Katella gate, closure of the Walker gate, and narrowing
the main Katella entrance from 100 feet wide to 65 feet, reducing the 9 ingress lanes
to 5, and reducing the stacking area from 300 feet deep to 140 feet. The Association
felt these changes would result in the stacking of cars on Katella and slowing ingress
and egress.

(4) The matter regarding the destruction of barns was resolved to the Association's
satisfaction when the barns were restored. The Association requested that the
Council reconsider the provision relating to the removal of barn areas if they are
required for street widening.
(5) The Council should ensure that the Race Track is visible from alrsections of Katella
Avenue. Mr. Manfredi stated that currently the facility is visible from all points of
that section of Katella A venue.
Mr. Manfredi stated they realize it is in the best interests of the City and their Association
that Hollywood Park be permitted to use the property in a manner that will provide revenue
to improve the track, but the Association objects to the items of concern mentioned. Mr.
Manfredi explained why the Association was filing the lawsuit at this point in time.
Mayor Lacayo asked if Mr. Manfredi had any recommendations to make. Mr. Manfredi stated
the items of concern should be addressed by all parties involved, and there are some areas for
trade-offs. He stated the Association strongly recommends that more parking space be
provided over what exists in order to accommodate more cars and provide more revenue.
Mrs. Everett reported that Hollywood Park held a meeting with Mr. Smith, Mr. Boniface
(President of the Quarterhorse Association), Mr. Nungesser and Mr. Hyland before the
meeting with the Council, and Hollywood Park carefully reviewed the parking plan submitted
to the City. Following the meeting, the Association representatives were going to advise
their Board of the meeting and recommend that they support Hollywood Park's position to the
City Council. Mrs. Everett indicated she was surprised with the Association's latest tactics.
She further reported that Mr. Smith telephoned her before the Council meeting indicating his
Board expressed support of Hollywood Park and she was led to believe that Mr. Smith would
appear before the Council to state they support Hollywood Park's proposal.
Councilman Mullen discussed with Mrs. Everett whether additional parking areas could be
made available within the Business Park or elsewhere on the Race Track property on days
when there is above average attendance. Mrs. Everett stated Hollywood Park would make
every effort to work out arrangements to utilize the parking available at other businesses
when there are excess crowds. Councilman Mullen asked how many additional parking spaces
on site might be available with the bus shuttling of employees or use of the stable area. Mrs.
Everett stated that 1,000 spaces could be picked up from the fringe area.
Councilman Mullen asked how the City could accomplish parking availability in the Business
Park. The City Attorney suggested two options: one would be a recorded document setting
forth a parking covenant that parking be made available for evening racing, the second would
be a condition requiring that Hollywood Park include language to the same effect in all
leases, sales or transfers of property. He stated the Council mayor may not provide that the
City have enforcement rights with respect to the condition, and if the condition is a matter
of contract between Hollywood Park and another party there is the possibility it could be
modified.
Mrs. Everett stated their attorneys would be happy to work with staff and look at other areas
that can be utilized for parking. In response to questions from the Mayor, Mrs. Everett
stated they will review with staff the concerns regarding the reduction of the Katella
entrance. She stated it is in their best interests to get cars off the road as quickly as
possible and there are multiple collectors to get them on the property quickly. Mrs. Everett
stated they will follow staff's recommendations on which entrances should be utilized.
Mayor Lacayo asked how the applicant determined the number of parking spaces to be
provided. Mrs. Everett stated that based on experience the average has been 2 1/4 persons
per car and 2 1/2 persons per car on larger attendance days. The 8500 spaces would
accommodate a crowd of 21,000.
Councilman Mullen suggested that Hollywood Park have a condition for tenants of the
Business Park that provides them with the first right of parking, and the second right is for
patrons of the track.
Councilman Partin asked what the average parking attendance has been for the track during
the last year.
Mr. Ken Nungesser, Hollywood Park Operating Company, reported they did a study which
showed that during the last seven years (1,607 racing days) less than one percent (.87%) of
the time they had an attendance exceeding 15,000 that warranted parking for 7,500 cars or
more. Councilman Partin asked what was today's average. Mr. Nungesser reported that the
average attendance for the quarterhorse meet was 4,570, which amounted to about 2,200
parked cars using the ratio of two persons per car.

City Council Minutes
September 22, 1986
Councilman Partin pointed out that less than 3,000-4,000 parking spaces are being used now
and racing attendance would have to increase considerably to fill the 8,500 spaces. He stated
he was satisfied with the parking as proposed.
Mr. Noel Hatch stated Hollywood Park has retained 10 to 12 acres north of the backstretch
to be used for overflow parking for the one percent of the time when it may be needed. Mr.
Hatch corrected the statement that the Siboney main entrance will be reduced from 9 to 5
lanes. He stated the Specific Plan requires that 8 traffic lanes be provided in addition to
curbs and sidewalks on both sides for pedestrian traffic. Mr. Hatch explained that 5 -'"
entrances will be provided to the paved parking area: the east-west road which will be
developed first will provide permanent ingress/egress onto Walker and Denni, the main
Siboney entrance, a 4-lane entrance from Ticonderoga which will access the east-west road,
and the Cerritos entrance for use in extreme cases. Mr. Hatch stated he believed Hollywood
Park had addressed all of the issues, and the agreement protects them and the City and
provides the opportunity to make improvements and expand. He stated they have committed
to work with the City to ensure an alternate golf course site, and they will work out problems
with tenants on the property. Mr. Hatch stated the Specific Plan is an extremely detailed
document covering the project that has anticipated parking and ingress/egress problems and
he felt it was a document the Council could approve and feel comfortable with.
Councilman Kanel asked if Mr. Smith had any comments or suggestions.
Mr. Jim Smith, General Manager and Vice President of the Horsemen's Quarterhorse Racing
Association, stated he has a commitment to Los Alamitos and he is extremely disappointed
with the current state of affairs. He stated their interest is not real estate development but
quarterhorse racing and their obligation along with the landlord is to their patrons. Mr.
Smith stated he advised Councilmembers of the flaws the Association sees and some of the
concerns are being addressed and resolved. Mr. Smith stated the 65-foot-wide main entrance
is inadequate for eight lanes. He reported that during the last three years there have been
occasions when the Association parked over 9,000 cars. He stated they are concerned about
the ingress and egress for patrons. Mr. Smith stated it was a bad plan to close the Walker
entrance and expressed concern about cars stacking up along Katella if the Walker entrance
is closed. Mr. Smith presented attendance figures for the last three years; he reported they
averaged 1.94 persons per car in 1984, 1.91 in 1985, and 1.83 in 1986 for the entire meet. He -
reported that on one occasion in May of 1983 they parked over 11,000 cars. Mr. Smith stated
they have an obligation to the patrons to establish overflow parking areas and this was the
time to address the issue. Mr. Smith felt inadequate attention was paid to the main entrance
and he questioned why the Council was even considering a plan which reduces its width and
depth. He stated it is not an adequate plan for ingress, egress, parking stall size or for
parking itself and he felt these factors would discourage attendance at the track.
Councilman Kanel asked if Mr. Smith had expressed his concerns to staff. Mr. Smith
reported he had several conversations with staff and some of his concerns were addressed
such as the issue regarding removal of the barns. He stated he only became aware of the
plans for the parking stall width and main entrance width during the last two or three
weeks. Mr. Smith indicated that he had suggested that staff check out other racing facilities
to determine an adequate width for the parking stalls. He stated he made an informal study
of other tracks and was offended that Los Alamitos will have the narrowest parking stalr of
any track in California. Mr. Smith stated development of the Race Track property should be
consistent with the long range plans for the track, parking, ingress and egress, the horsemen
and the patrons. He stated his intentions which he shares with the Council are to have a
facility they can be proud of.
RECESS: The Mayor called a recess at 9:54 p.m. The Council reconvened at 10:23 p.m. with
all m em bers present.
Councilman Coronado asked Mrs. Everett why Hollywood Park took racing days away from
Los Alamitos. He expressed concern that the Council had to rely on information provided by
Hollywood Park and lacked input from the Quarterhorse Association. He stated he wanted
the Race Track to remain and its appearance and attendance to be improved. He stated
Hollywood Park has not undertaken any improvements in the two years they have owned the
track, and their offer of $5 million will not buy much in today's market. Councilman
Coronado stated he would like a signed document from Hollywood Park showing that they are
sincere about increasing attendance and improving the track and offering a more acceptable
dollar figure for the improvements. He stated the 8,500 parking spaces leaves little room for
growth and he would like it increased.

City Council Minutes
September 22, 1986
Mrs. Everett responded to the comments. She indicated that when Hollywood Park purchased
Los Alamitos for $68 mi.llion which was around the time they made a major investment to
improve the Hollywood Park track, they realized they needed to develop the excess real
estate to reduce their debt and make funds available for improvement of Los Alamitos. She
stated the $68 million debt has cost them $7 million each year in interest payments, and the
longer they delay the less they can put back into the property. She indicated the $5 million
was only an initial figure agreed upon for the document. Mrs. Everett reported that Los
Alamitos has the same number of racing days it had two years ago, Hollywood Park did not
take dates away and they do not intend to. She asked the Council to consider their track
record and the $80 million improvements they've made at Hollywood Park since 1973, and she
assured the Council that Hollywood Park will do the improvements at Los Alamitos as shown
in their plans and begin them quickly. Mrs. Everett indicated there has been a decrease in
racing at Los Alamitos because of the proliferation of thoroughbred dates, the multiple
overlaps, and the State lottery.
Councilman Coronado stated he wanted a written commitment that Hollywood Park would
increase attendance and beautify the track. Mrs. Everett stated they have spent a half
million dollars since they bought the track and they painted the exterior of the race track.
She stated the clubhouse will be demolished and they did not wish to expend funds on it. She
stated they want Los Alamitos to be a major track and it is to their own benefit to have more
successful meets. Councilman Coronado stated there have been many verbal assurances but
he would like something in writing. Mrs. Everett replied that she and the Chairman of
Hollywood Park Realty signed the document today attesting to the fact that their company
will perform the contract and arrangements they worked out with the City. Mrs. Everett
stated they have a viable program which they will fulfill and she offered her personal
commitment that they will proceed as quickly as they can. She stated their record should
assure the Council and she hoped the Council had confidence in their integrity. She stated a
two-week delay would hurt them financially.
Mr. Hatch commented that the owner participation agreement commits them to do what the
Council is requesting and once it is signed they can begin construction and demonstrate their
commitment. He stated that in practicality construction of the track facility may exceed
the $5 million but that seemed a reasonable amount to commit to. Mr. Hatch reported that
Los Alamitos has 10 more weeks of racing than when they acquired the track in 1984. He
reported they have 42 weeks this year and 47 are anticipated for next year. Mrs. Everett
reported that this year racing dates were added to the calendar; five weeks were added to
quarterhorse racing and ten weeks added to thoroughbred. She stated ten of the weeks went
to Hollywood Park and other dates came to Los Alamitos. She stated confusion exists
because of the juggling of dates and overlaps.
Councilman Kanel stated that some persons felt the new clubhouse would cost more than $5
million and perhaps the agreement should state that this is an initial and not the full amount
to complete the project. Mrs. Everett stated they feel this is an initial commitment, and
that as soon as they can reduce their bank commitments and develop the property there will
be a great deal of money reinvested in the track. Mrs. Everett commented on whether
additional meetings were necessary between Hollywood Park and the Quarterhorse
Association to resolve differences and stated an agreement had been reached and it was
unfair and frustrating that the Association was creating the impediment. She stated she
would be very disappointed if the hearing was continued.
Councilman Partin stated he would like to proceed tonight and that details of the plan, such
as parking, can be worked out. He felt the $5 million expenditure would probably be
increased but he indicated the Council wants money committed to improve the facility and a
new clubhouse may not be needed. He felt the proposal had been deliberated as much as
possible over the last two months. He stated the Horsemen's concerns were over details and
were not related to the overall plan.
Mr. Essex stated that if the Council is satisfied with the overall'scheme they can proceed
... with the basic actions and staff will study the issues of concern brought up tonight relating to
the size and number of parking stalls and ingress/egress. He indicated that the Specific Plan
can be conditioned to address these concerns.
Councilman Mullen agreed that further negotiations are needed but stated he was prepared to
move ahead as recommended by the City Manager. Mayor Lacayo stated this was the only
instance where the City was requiring a developer to commit to an expenditure as a condition
of a zone change. He stated he was satisfied with the agreement which showed the
applicant's wUlingness and commitment to improve the race track. Mayor Lacayo stated the
zoning they request is compatible with the existing adjacent zoning, and the issues of concern
can be addressed. Councilman Mullen stated he is committed to doing whatever he can to
ensure construction of a new golf course. He felt the $5 million figure was an adequate
amount to show the applicant's good faith.

Councilman Kanel stated he did not want the matter delayed but legitimate concerns were
raised and he suggested a two week continuance to resolve them. He stated some of the
Council actions will be irreversible and he wanted to be sure they will serve the best
interests of the citizens. Councilman Kanel asked if anyone else wished to address the
Council.
Mr. Paul Bergeson, 356 La Verne, Long Beach, suggested that the City and Hollywood Park
work out a compromise to allow the property to be developed in phases rather than all at one
time.
