summarized the staff report dated February 16. 1988 which represented a
request to establish a family-style. full service restaurant serving Italian
food and beer and wine. The applicant. Mr. Lomeli. proposed to operate his
restaurant within a 1.940 square foot lease space located on the first floor
of the new Isacc Center and his proposed hours of operation are Sunday through
Thursday. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday. 11 a.m. to IIp.m. As a
family-style. full service restaurant. no noise impacts on nearby residents
are expected and staff believes that the proposed restaurant with the onsite
sale of beer and wine is consistent with zoning and the intent of the
commercial center. Notices of this public hearing were posted. pUblished and
mailed to property owners within a 300-foot radius of the subject property.
To date. staff has not received comments on this matter. Staff recommended
that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 88-3 subject to the
conditions in Exhibit "A."
After further discussion. the Planning Director advised that this C.U.P. is
before the Council because of the request for alcoholic beverages and any
expansion would have to come back before the Council.
Mayor Arnold asked the applicant to step forward.
Hr. Raul lomeli. 12219 Creekwood Avenue. Cerritos. stated he would answer any
questions the Council had and he didn't believe the family-style type of
restaurant would create parking problems.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of the application.
Mr. Kavala Lehijani. developer of the project, volunteered to provide any
further information the Council required on the parking issue and felt that
the parking spaces allocated were within the requirements.

the public hearing and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows
approving C.U.P. 88-3 with the 15 conditions proposed by staff and the
additional condition stating that: "Conditional Use Permit 88-3 shall not

BUILDINGS. 6400 GATEWAY DRIVE (EAST END OF GATEWAY DRIVE): The Planning
Director recapped the staff report dated February 16. 1988 which represented a
request to construct three multi-tenant buildings on a 164.719 square foot
parcel at the east end of Gateway Drive. Building One will be located at the -
west end of the property. divided into three units and each unit will have a
truck loading dock on the south side of the building. Building Two will be
located in the center of the property. divided into two units and two truck
loading docks will be located on the south side of the building. Building
Three will be located at the east end of the property. divided into two units
and a loading dock for each unit will be located on the south side of the
building. The combination of the reduced height of the building. increased
setback. block wall and landscape screening should prevent adverse impacts
from the buildings on the single-family residences. The truck loading docks
will be located along the south elevations of the three buildings away from
the residences. Staff mailed notices of the current application to all
residential property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. Staff
feels that with the above conditions. the proposed development will not
present any compatibility problems with the adjacent residences and will be an
attractive addition to the Cypress Business Park. Staff recommended that the
City Council receive and file Design Review Committee No. 88-4. The Planning
Director read into the record an additional condition of approval stating
that: "Permitted uses which include the use of heavy equipment or machinery
or the service of automobiles. heavy equipment or machinery shall be subject
to City approval under design review. Such non-permitted uses shall also
include those which result in noise levels exceeding the City of Cypress noise
ordinance or which create vibrations which can be felt by occupants of
surrounding properties."

NORTH OF THE STANTON STORM CHANNEL: The Planning Director summarized the
staff report dated February 5, 1988 which represented a request to revise
plans for Phase II of the office/industrial park and develop three one-story
multi-tenant buildings instead of the originally approved two-story office
buil di ng. The applicant wishes to revise the plan to develop three one-story
multi-tenant buildings with truck docks located between the buildings on the
east and west sides to avoid noise impacts on nearby residents to the south.
Staff feels that the proposed multi-tenant buildings are clearly consistent
and compatible with Phase I. Moreover. they will establish a less intense use
than the originally planned two-story office buildings. truck dock locations
and the landscape berm will buffer residents from noise impacts. Staff
recommended that the City Council receive and file the Design Review
Committee"s approve of Amendment to Design Review Committee No. 86-35. subject
to the conditions in Exhibit "A." -
