dated August 19, 1987 which indicated Council's continued consideration of the
extension of the Emergency Medical Transportation Services Agreement to the
meeting of August 24, 1987 in order to obtain an evaTuation report from the
Orange County Fire Department. That report indicated that satisfactory
service had been provided by both Medix Ambulance, as the primary provider,
and Southland, as the secondary provider. Staff recommended the extension of
the Agreement to December 31, 1988 and the extension will be conditioned upon
obtaining the insurance coverage required by the City Manager's office.
Councilwoman Arnold asked why Medix was chosen over Southland as the primary
provider.

of four years and administered county-wide by the fire department. Southland
is the primary provider in many areas of the county, but Medix has been
providing satisfactory service in the Cypress area. He further advised that
the contract will expire in December 1988 and, at that time, a total
evaluation and study will be submitted to Council for their review.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Davis to grant the extension
of the Emergency Medical Transportation services Agreement between the City

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE 87-6. BUS
SHELTERS CONTAINING SIGNS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY CITY-WIDE. Mayor Kanel
declared the public hearing open. The Planning Director summarized the staff
reports dated July 31 and August 14, 1987 which indicated a request to amend
the zoning ordinance to al low bus shelters containing advertisement in the
public right-Of-way. This request is before the City Council because the
Public Works staff was contacted by two companies who wish to install bus
shelters that contain advertising signs and the code does not address
regulations for bus shelters; therefore, an Amendment is required. Staff
recommended that since the City is contemplating permitting bus shelters with
offsite advertising, approval of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is in
order to provide adequate signage regulation.
Notices of the public hearing were published and posted. Staff has not
received any communication regarding this public hearing.
In response to a question by Councilman Oavis, the Planning Oirector explained
that staff did not want bus shelters with signage considered without
regulations.
After further questions, the City Manager explained that this Ordinance does
not allow any bus shelters to be instal led in Cypress; all it does is
establish a procedure to be followed sh~uld it be decided that bus shelters
are desired.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support or opposition to the
application.

City Council Minutes August 24, 1987
Hr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive. Cypress, declared that the bus shelters
have the mast pernicious farm of o~tdoor advertising he has seen. He stated
Cypress does not need bus shelters and desires no change in the law.
Ms. Ella Murphy, 10491 Christopher Street, Cypress, stated bus shelters are
dirty, the advertising is distasteful and she wouldn't like to see them in
Cypress.
Councilman Davis stated he will not support a proposal that grants a right to
a franchisee while at the same time the City tells commercial establishments
they can't use certain advertising to draw people into their business.
Councilman Mullen stated he would support the proposal because. to a large
degree, the bus passengers are handicapped and elderly and need the protection
of a bus shelter.
Councilwoman Arnold expressed concern about adding more opportunities for
signage when the Council was already in a dilemma attempting to control the
illegal advertising in Cypress and she could not support the proposal.
Mayor Kanel stated he would support this proposal and advised that these were
very modern sleek bus shelters and private enterprise is willing to provide
the City the money to build these shelters for the benefit of citizens who
ride the bus.
Ms. Margina Berg, 6061 Barbados, Cypress, commented that the Council should
address the safety factor of the bus shelters, which are usually placed too
close to the curb.
Ms. Marjorie Peffer, 10489 Gregory Circle, Cypress, stated she didn't believe
the Council had enough information to make a decision. There was no
information about the exact number of shelters, control over advertising, and
upkeep and maintenance.
Councilwoman Arnold commented that it takes so much time and effort to rid the
City of illegal signs, that it would be impropoer to encourage signage.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to continue
the public hearing to October 13, 1987.
The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 87-12. TRUCK RENTAL SERVICE. 5001 CERRITOS AVENUE. Mayor Kanel declared
the public hearing open. The Planning Director summarized the staff report
dated August 14, 1987 which represented an application to establish a truck
rental service as an accessory use to an existing automotive service station.
The project site is located at 5001 Cerritos Avenue in the CG Commercial
General Zone. It is important to note that this property is surrounded by
single family homes on the north and the east. The applicant has proposed the
use of a variety of truck sizes and the site plan indicated the trucks would
be parked along the block wall and next to the gas station building at the
north end of the site. The property had created some past concerns for the
neighboring residents by a previous owner and, at a neighborhood meeting on
August 13, 1987, the surrounding residents were invited to ask questions and
comment on the proposed truck rental service. Staff believes the four
conditions outlined in the report would adequately address the neighbors "
concerns regarding noise and visual impacts. The Planning Director added a
fifth condition which stated the site shall be maintained in a well-kept and
litter-free manner at all times. Because there were no major concerns from
the surrounding property owners and they were satisfied with the added
conditions, staff recommended approval. Public hearing notices were sent to
all property owners within a 300 foot radius and one phone call was received
from a property owner who did not attend the meeting but indicated the
concerns which were similarly addressed at the meeting.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the application.

City Council Minutes August 24, 1987 9
Mr. Raft Kazanjian, 5001 Cerritos Avenue, Cypress, representing Hrako Service
Center, remarked that he may receive trucks that are larger than the size
stipulated in the application because his station is a designated drop-off
paint.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the application.
Mr. Richard Harvey, 10452 Pompano Court, Cypress, stated he lived directly
behind the station and his concern was the noise, truck drop-off site, working
on the trucks at all hours of the day and night and the inconsistency of the
hours of operation.
Ms. Marjorie Peffer, 10490 Gregory Circle, Cypress, expressed concern about
the number of vehicles that are left at the station overnight and opposed
increasing the number of vehicles allowed on the lot.
Mr. Kazanjian stated that they have allowed the neighbors to park their cars
on the lot during street sweeping days.
In response to a question by Councilwoman Arnold, Mr. Kazanjian stated he
could control the number of trucks on the lot but not the size. He also
advised that truck repair work is not done at the station.
Councilman Mullen declared he could not support this application because it
was much too intensive a use for this parcel and there are two businesses on
the lot now. Councilman Davis stated that it appeared that the applicant is
not a good neighbor and he cannot support this application. Councilwoman
Arnold commented that she could not support this application for all the many
reasons mentioned plus the safety factor due to the bad condition of the
property. Mayor Kanel stated that approval of this application would create
overintensive use of the parcel; therefore, he could not support the
application.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to cl~se
the public hearing and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows
denying Conditional Use Permit 87-12.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERA1ION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO ZONING
ORDINANCE NO. 87-3, TWO MONUMENT SIGNS PER ENTRY LOCATED IN THE PC-5 ZONE.
Mayor Kanel opened the public hearing. The Planning Director summarized the
staff report dated August 17, 1987 which represented a request from Overton,
Moore and Associates, the landowner, to amend Section 7.2.6.(C)(I) of the PC-5
zone to permit two monument signs per entry, with each sign being on an
opposing corner. Staff is of the opinion that the placement of two signs per
entry on such a large development site is a reasonable request in order to
provide adequate identification for the business park complex. In addition,
the 300 foot requirement between sign locations as proposed will safeguard
against a proliferation of signs in one area.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support or opposition to the
application. No one wished to do so.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to approve
the first reading of the Ordinance by title only, title as follows, amending
Zoning Ordinance No. 87-3 allowing two monument signs per entry located in the
PC-5 Zone.

indicated that the City Council had adopted Resolution No. 3111 on July 14,
1986 approving the conditional use permit and parcel map for the senior

limit established, the conditional use permit has lapsed and a request has
been received from Shelter Ventures Corporation requesting the City to renew
~"''''' the approval. Ms. Eynon advised that Parcel Map No. 86-230 does not need to
be renewed because the approval was granted for 24 months and staff

Redevelopment Agency has completed escrow with the school district, now owns
the property and is just completing the draft Disposition and Development
Agreement with National Church Residences of Cypress.

hearing. The Planning Director summarized the staff report dated August 17,

patio to remain with a six and one-half foot rear setback instead of the
minimum required ten foot rear setback. The property is located at 4267
Avenida Sevilla in the RS-6,000 Single-Family Residential Zone. Constructed
several years ago without a City approved bui Iding permit, the patio enclosure
does not meet minimum Building Code requirements. Mr. Eng, the applicant, is
prepared to make any modifications to the patio enclosure which are necessary
to obtain a building permit; however, a variance is needed for the three and
one-half foot encroachment into the rear setback area. Staff recommended that
the City Council deny Variance No. 87-8; however, should Council approve this
variance, it is recommended that it be approved subject to three conditions.
In response to questions from Councilman Davis, the Planning Director
explained that the Building Department has made a preliminary examination of
the site and established criteria that must be met by the property owner and
the patio can be made to meet City standards.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the application.
Mr. Victor Eng, 426/ Avenida Sevi Ila. Cypress, explained that he wasn't aware
that ,he patio extended into the rear setback and asked Council to grant the
variance, which would assist in consummating the sale of the home.

Eng, stated that the patio is in excel lent taste, is very well bui It and an
asset to the home.

allow an air conditioner to be located on the roof of a room addition to an
existing dwelling on property located at 4314 Manchester Place, in the RS-

equipment, including air conditioners, in residential zones be located within
the rear yard area or street side yard area of a corner lot. Mr. Session is
planning to build a pool and spa in the rear yard and there is not adequate
room in the rear yard for the air conditioner. Staff feels the applicant has

from view and to inhibit the noise.

that the homes have air conditioners on the roof; another air conditioner on
the roof of this residence is not a problem and he is in favor of the
application.

without hearing any objections, continued the hearing to a later time in the
meeting. r'_
RECESS: Mayor Kanel recessed the meeting at 9:21 p.m. in order for the
Council to convene as the Cypress Redevelopment Agency. The meeting was
called back to order at 9:37 p.m. with all Councilmembers present as before.
Regarding the Consideration of Public Hearing Re: Review for Development
Agreement No. 82-1. Cypress Land Company, the Mayor opened the public hearing
earlier in the evening and called upon the City Manager to summarize the staff
report. Mr. Essex stated that as part of the original approval for Cypress
Land Company's Specific Plan No. 81-1, a development agreement was required to
be entered into between the property owner and the City of Cypress concerning
the future uses of the 30 acres. At that time, there was discussion on the
12
City Councfl Minutes August 24, 1987 '{.3
City"s need for and desire to encourage commercial and retail development as a
part of the overall Master Plan for the Business Park. Currently, the 30
acres originally restricted for commercial/retail has been reduced because of
the inability of the property to be successfully marketed for a larger
commercial center and there are deliberations on the need for the continuation
of the agreement and the economics of retail-type usage.
Recently, the City of Cypress received a letter from Brad L. Andrews and
Robert Rizzie, representatives of the College Park Cypress Homeowners
Association, requesting that the City consider amending the zoning and/or
development agreement to preclude commercial retail development of the subject
property.
This item was noticed in the newspaper and all property owners within a 300
foot radius were notified and as previously requested by the City Council
regarding Business Park agenda items, the Los Alamitos Army Airfield and the
Airport Land Use Commission have been notified.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the matter.
Mr. Brian Harvey, Cypress Land Company, 423 Bellagio Terrace, Los Angeles,
stated that he had decided to wait until the area matured so a viable shopping
center would be feasible and he has retained several firms on the team to aid
in developing an outstanding commercial center.
Mr. Bart Brown, Coldwell Banker, 2100 Orangewood, Orange, advised his
contribution to the project is obtaining the lessees. The design called for a
63,000 foot grocery store, a 100,000 foot home improvement-oriented type of
store with a 20,000 foot outside nursery and four to five free standing
restaurants. The balance of the space is composed of both in-line as well as
free standing shop buildings. Several letters have been received from various
companies, which all indicated some very strong interest in the Cypress
community.
Mr. Steve Ridenauer, Ridenauer Evans Development, 24221 Calle de la Luisa,
Laguna Hills, stated he and the team were interested in producing a first
class merchandising center that will be able to sustain itself by virtue of
what it is; not another copy, but one which is reaching out into the areas
where there are no services of that type. He also advised that Mr. Harvey was
attempting to develop a unique, high quality center and he is prepared to
spend a lot of money on the center.
Councilwoman Arnold addressed the possible traffic problem posed by this
center and Mr. Ridenauer stated that he and staff have already had preliminary
meetings regarding traffic control, which is important to the ability to
merchandise the shopping center and proper ingress/egress points have to be
established. The appointment of an independent traffic consultant to study
the issue has been requested.
Mr. Harvey advised Counci I that he is conforming to the Agreement and asked to
be apprised of any possible problems as soon as possible that might stop the
development of this commercial center.
Councilman Davis expressed concern about the impact the commercial/retail
center will have on the traffic conditions and on the people living behind the
development. He suggested a meeting with all parties concerned, obtaining all
the information and input, the possible impact and then make a decision.
Councilwoman Arnold expressed the importance of accommodating Mr. Harvey's
request and gathering all facts and information as soon as possible to make an
informed decision.
Mayor Kanel asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the plan.
Mr. Brad Andrews, 11261 Montserrat, Cypress, representing the College Park
Cypress Homeowners Association, stated he had requested this item be placed on
the Agenda in order to address this issue and that the Council amend the
Development Agreement, specifically Section 2.2 so that it would preclUde the
development of this property as a commercial/retail development. He expressed
concern over safety in the area because of the proximity to the airfield and
the add it i ona I numbers of people who would be attracted to the area. He
suggested part of the traffic impact can be avoided by changing the
13
Ci~ Council Minutes August 24, 1987
1/
developmental agreement and allowing the property to be zoned for something
ather than commercial retail and provided Council with copies of the newspaper
articles referenced.
Mr. Bob Rizzie, 6268 Dalca, Cypress, remarked that he has asked the Planning
Department numerous times if anything had been happening with to the property
and they said nothing was happening and shortly thereafter, a fence went
around the property.
The Planning Director responded that when someone files an official .
application it becomes a public document and any interested parties can come
and inquire about the information. Until that time, there is no discussion or
disclosure to the public from the Planning Department.
Ms. Pam Berg, 6061 Barbados Avenue, Cypress, stated she felt the residents had
a right to know why the fence was put up and the question should have been
answered.
Mr. James Sutherland, 11260 Providencia Street, Cypress, remarked that Mr.
Harvey implied he had been dragged into a commitment to proceed and he might
prefer to be released from the requirement to develop commercial retail
property.
Mr. Hal Diaz, 6121 Barbados Avenue, Cypress, expressed concern about the
traffic flow, the noise of the delivery trucks, trash, lights and increase of
crime that a retail development attracts. He stated he was not opposed to
commercial development but would like assurance that it is properly planned
and he has reservations about commercial development in this location.
Colonel Bob Brant, Los Alamitos Army Airfield and Air Force Reserve Center,
introduced Mr. Ed Peterson from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers,
Los Angeles Office, and advised they were at the meeting to find out about the
project and not as opponents or proponents. Mr. Peterson relayed the Army"s
concern about building structures and land uses and strongly recommended
construction and land use that is compatible with the approach and departure ~..~
flight paths of the airfield.
Col. Brant stated the airfield"s operation has remained the same and he is not
opposed to development but wanted to make sure that all parties are fully
aware of the airfield's operation.
Councilwoman Arnold asked Colonel Brant if, in his opinion it would be a
dangerous to develop such a center in that location. Colonel Brant responded
that the Department of Defense has regulations that establish guidelines on
types of construction in particular zones around airfields and they are to
inform the people of potential problems.
COUNCILMAN MULLEN LEFT THE MEETING AT 10:45 P.M.
Ms. Margina Berg, 6061 Bdrbados, Cypress, commented that she had lived near
the airfield for several years and it appeared that the majority of the air
traffic appears to be on the weekends and would be safer to have an office
building because they are vacant on the weekends as opposed to retail stores.
Mr. Dave Spira, 6051 Barbados, Cypress, asked tor clarification on the zoning
from the southeast corner of Katella and Valley View vs. further south near
the berm and if the development agreement parcel was zoned the same way. He
expressed his reservations about the viability of the Cypress Land Development
Company's program with grocery and home improvement businesses as anchor ~
stores and the potential traffic problems.
RECESS: Mayor Kanel recessed the meeting at 11:02 p.m. At 11:06 p.m., the
meeting reconvened with all Councilmembers present as before, except

presented the certificate of appointment to the new Traffic Commissioner,

between the developer, builder, consultants and the home owner representatives

between the parties to discuss specific issues prior to the October 26

With regard to the Consideration of Award of Contract to Purchase a Hydraulic
Flail Mower, the Public Works Director responded to questions from the City ~~
Manager that a new mower needed to be purchased as soon as possible and
provided bid summary information to Council. This unit is the largest mower
used by the landscape crews to perform weekly scheduled cutting of all park
turf. Bid requests were sent to ten local equipment distributors and two bids
were received. The apparent low bid by Bob Hicks Turf Equipment cannot be
recommended for acceptance because it does not meet the specifications set by
the City. Investigation of the B. Hayman Co., Inc. of Santa Fe Springs,
indicates that they can supply the mower per the specifications set by the
City.
Staff recommended that the City Council determine that B. Hayman Co., Inc.,
9525 Sorensen Ave., Santa Fe Springs is the lowest responsible bidder that can
supply a hydraulic flail mower and award a contract to supply a 1987 Jacobsen
HR-15 Model 70520 Flail Mower to that company in the amount of $42,400.00
including tax.
It was moved by Councilman Davis and seconded by Councilwoman Arnold to award
the contract to B. Hayman Co., Inc., 9525 Sorensen Ave., Santa Fe Springs, the

of $41,650 and by combining the CATV production center with the edit facility,
there are some cost savings through dual use of equipment. It is anticipated
that it will probably be the first of the year before the system will be
activated and on-line. Staff recommended Council accept the Communicable
Consultants Engineer's report and authorize sending plans and specifications
out to bid.

for the opportunity to obtain state funds for a two year period to support a
Traffic Law Enforcement Program. The OTS has tentatively agreed to funding
and provided final application to the police department for funding grant.
