CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-6. LIQUOR
STORE. 11741 VALLEY VIEW STREET. CYPRESS: Mayor Arnold opened the public
hearing. The Planning Director summarized the staff report dated April 5,
1988, which represented a request by Hossein Vesal to locate a liquor store in
the Valley View Retail Center now under construction at 11741 Valley View
Street in the CN-I0,OOO Commercial Neighborhood Zone.
Mayor Arnold invited that applicant to come forward.
Mr. Hamid Nassari, 657 No. Milford Avenue, Orange, representing his uncle,
Hossein Vesal, commented that 65 to 70% of the sales will be alcoholic
beverages, they will provide a money order purchase service and will accept
all the conditions suggested by the Planning Department.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone else wished to speak in support of the
application.
Mr. Yussef Abrahim, the broker representing the developer Snyder Commercial
Real Estate, 6401 East Katella Ave., Suite 300, Anaheim, stated a lease has
been signed with Mr. Vesal and there are other prospective tenants for the
center. He also stated that the signage will remain consistent throughout the
center.
No one else wished to speak in support of or opposition to the application.
Councilman Mullen asked the Council to consider the fact that the liquor store
will be on the south bound side of the street and if people make a purchase,
they will drive out of the city and the sales tax would be lost.
Councilman Davis commented he was concerned about this project as it was
surrounded by homes, potential traffic problems, the safety of the
neighborhood and he does not support the project. Councilman Kanel provided
some background information on the property, advised that there quite a number
of advantages and was not strongly opposed to the project because there were
sufficient safety factors and would tend to favor the application.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 88-6
with conditions. Councilman Kanel desired adding the condition that the hours
of operation be from 8:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. However, Councilman Mullen
stated he would not want this condition because 10 p.m. is too early to close
a business of this type and the Council could impose hours limitations if it
became a problem, which he felt would be sufficient protection. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Kanel, who asked the City Attorney, for the record,
if under the power of conditional use permits the Council would have the right
to call for a public hearing to review the C.U.P. if complaints were received
from the nearby residents. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative and
stated it would apply to anything that is of a nuisance nature. He further
advised that the Council could rehear and revoke the conditional use permit.
Mayor Arnold expressed her opposition to this project and that the main reason
is that these centers are designed for a very small amount of parking and
ingress and egress is usually very difficult. She further advised that the
large delivery trucks would create an unsafe condition and is opposed to the
project on that basis.
Councilman Davis inquired of the City Attorney if the item should be continued
because of the possibility of a tie vote. The City Attorney advised that the
motion is to approve and a 2-2 vote would mean the approval would fail, and it
would be appropriate to either move a denial afterwards or continue the
matter. He stated it would definitely not be approved on a 2-2 vote.
Councilman Mullen offered a substitute motion to continue this matter to the
April 25 meeting for a full Council hearing. Councilman Kanel asked if the
public hearing had been closed, and after a brief discussion, he withdrew his
6

206
second to the main motion and asked if Councilman Mullen would withdraw the
main motion and request a continuance. Councilman Coronado could listen to
the tape and have further discussion at the next Council meeting.
Councilman Mullen withdrew his main motion and moved to continue the pUblic
hearing to April 25. The motion was seconded by Councilman Kanel. The
substitute motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

remain with the side yard of a Single-family home located at 10423 Camden
Drive.
Mayor Arnold invited the applicant to come forward.
Mr. Vernon Stanley, 10423 Camden Drive, Cypress, commented that there is no
room in the backyard to place the air conditioner.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak in support or of opposition to
the application. No one wished to do so.

the public hearing, adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows to
approve Variance 88-1 subject to conditions.

CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF THE CYPRESS SCHOOL PROPERTY ON GRINDLAY: The
City Manager recapped the staff report dated April 6, 1988, which indicated
the City's intention to purchase the Cypress School property at the agreed
upon appraisal amount of $2,255,000. It was recommended that the Council
direct the City Manager to notify the school district of its intent to
purchase the school property in the event it is still being offered for sale.
Councilman Davis stated that he had some concerns, but going to make a
recommendation this evening to inform the Board of Trustees the City is
interested in acquiring the property subject to some revisions and prior to
opening an escrow. He stated he would like to opportunity to review the terms
and conditions of the sale in a work session and have an opportunity to think
about them.
The City Manager advised that Archiplan's presentation will address concepts
for the development of the property, and it is appropriate that we would have
a work session. He further advised that we are talking about the land
acquisition and these are the basic conditions discussed with the school
board, which will come back to Council for ratification.
Councilman Davis suggested adding 11...subject to revisions." to the end of the
staff recommendation and put it into the record that the Council is going to
look into it and make sure it is correct.
Councilman Mullen commented that Council has been talking about this project
for a very long time, the price is set, we are here to decide to buy the land
and then decide precisely how to use the land for senior citizen housing and
senior citizen center expansion.

City Council Minutes April 11, 198'207
Councilman Kanel stated that the property use has always been for the
expansion of the senior center.
Mayor Arnold remarked that this action would be to agree to purchase the
property for the price under the guidelines outlined and the plan will have to
be approved later.
The City Manager advised that Archiplan would be at the next meeting and, at
that time, the determination will be made when to schedule the next session on
this issue.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Davis to
authorize the City Manager to notify the Cypress School District's Board of
Trustees of the City's intention to purchase the remainder of the Cypress
School property on Grindlay Street, as outlined in this report. Counci lman
Davis asked that the words, "...subject to revision" replace the words "...as
outlined in this report." Councilman Mullen expressed concern about inserting
those words because he wants to give the school board assurance that we are
deciding to purchase the property. Councilman 'Davis stated that he would not
approve a $2.3 million expenditure unless he has a say in it. Counc i 1 man
Mullen stated he would revised his motion to include the words "...subject to
revision." The City Attorney suggested that the motion be revised to read as
follows: "...at the price of $2,255,000 subject to further negotiations on
the terms of payment." deleting the words ".. .as outlined in this report."
