PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The pledge was led by Councilman Mullen.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Matters Not on the 7:30 p.m. Agenda.
Ms. Christine Swain, 5362 Crescent Street, Cypress, read and submitted a
complaint of irregularities in the 1986 City Council election and proposed a
means of correction. She stated John Kanel, member of the City Council and
candidate in the 1986 election, did not pay for his candidate's statement.
She asked the City Council to pass an ordinance requiring current monitoring
of the billing and repayment of monies due the City or any entity and to
accrue interest until those debts are paid.
Councilman Kanel commented that the billing for a statement of qualifications
was not done in advance before although it was done for the upcoming election.
Ms. Swain advised she made her statement and wished to have a report from the
Ci ty Council,
Councilman Kanel stated he made a payment of $300 in February and paid the
balance in August, 1988. He further stated that his campaign reports are on
file with the City and he has filed the amount of money as an accrued expense
so there were many misstatements in Ms. Swain's comments.
Mayor Arnold asked the City Attorney to prepare a report on this issue for
Council information. Councilman Coronado suggested Councilman Kanel agree to
pay the interest due for the period of time that the debt had been
outstanding. Mayor Arnold stated this was not a matt0r to be decided tonight;
it has been turned over to the City Attorney, who would provide a report to
the Council at the next meeting.
Mr. Harold Richards, 11688 Onyx Street, Cypress, asked the Council's help in
righting a wrong involving crime on the streets. He stated the Police
Department responded rapidly but the investigation conducted was called
inadequate and insufficient by the District Attorney's office and he was
requesting Council's assistance and help in reopening the investigation of
these crimes. The City Attorney advised that the City Council is not equipped
to investigate nor to pass on this for a number of reasons. He suggested Mr.
Richards provide any documentation he has to the Council, finish his statement
and then it will be referred it to staff for study. Councilman Coronado
mentioned that he had spoken to the Police Department and feels some action
needs to be taken to mitigate the problem.
Councilman Kanel commented that Mr. Richards has, in the past, sent letters
attacking the Police Department with neighborhood problems and his neighbors
had to go to court with him. Mayor Arnold asked Mr. Richards for his
information and the problem will be investigated and whatever action is
required will be taken.
Mr. Charles Bell, 9875 Joel Circle, Cypress, asked if anything could be done
about the constant traffic flow and lack of parking in front of the old
Skateway property with the overflow parking spilling into the residential
neighborhood. He further stated patrons are not leaving the area, are
continuing to drink and party and he asked if the avenue could be blocked off
so the residents will not be disturbed. Mayor Arnold responded that this be
checked out immediately and asked the City Manager to have the Police
Department investigate.
Councilman Coronado made a correction to the transcript from the hearing on
August 8, 1988 about the Hollywood Park property on page 7, first line, insert
the word "not" so the phrase reads, "I'm not prepared.. .."
Councilman Coronado reported on the Airport Site Consensus Team Meeting whose
thrust was to open Los Alamitos Air Base for possible commercial aviation. He
suggested that the Council prepare a resolution stating unequivocally and
emphatically that they are opposed to this and go on record now. Mayor Arnold
suggested making this a matter for discussion at the next meeting.
Councilman Kanel stated that the coalition is an official body of the Board of
Supervisors formed in an attempt to find another airport in Orange County.

City Council Minutes August 22,1988
Councilman Coronado stated that the resolution that he is asking staff to
prepare for Council's consideration is in opposition to the Commercial
airport.

Air Field.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 88-13 AND PARCEL MAP NO. 88-273. 42-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX. INCLUDING 8-
UNIT DENSITY BONUS AND COMBINING TWO PARCELS. 8781 WALKER STREET AND 8774
WATSON STREET: Mayor Arnold declared the public hearing open. The City
Manager read a communication, for the record, which is on file in the City
Clerk's office, from Mr. and Mrs. Black expressing their support of the
project. The Interim Planning Director presented the staff report dated July
18 and August 17, 1988, which represented a request to construct 42 apartment
units, including an 8-unit density bonus and combine two parcels into one
parcel. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, a
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will be filed for this project.
Notices of this public hearing were posted, published and mailed to all
property owners within 300 feet of the subject parcel.
Councilman Coronado asked if the City had any assurance that the landscaping
will be maintained. The Interim Planning Director referred to a condition
requiring a certificate of deposit to replace landscaping. He also commented
about the density bonus awards and how control is maintained over the rental
of those units to moderate and low income families. In response to an inquiry
by Mayor Arnold, the City Attorney explained that the purpose of the density
bonus is to provide low and moderate income families with affordable rentals,
there are federal and state regulations and if there is not compliance, there
are actions that the City can take. "."..~
The Interim Planning Director stated the number is mandated by state law,
there are some options and some cities have taken in lieu payments instead of
providing those units on site.
Mr. Kent Boydstun, representing K.C. Chang developer of the project, explained
that under the rent subsidy, there is a deed restriction recorded with the
property that spells out the time limit and it is passed along to any new
owner of the property. He described the units, the traffic flow and presented
pictures of other projects developed by the applicants.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone else wished to speak in support of the
appl ication. No one wished to do so.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the project.
Ms. Beth Valoshin, 5312 DeLong Street, Cypress, expressed concern about the
project, the parking situation on the weekends because of Arnold Park and the
grade school bus pickup at the corner of Watson and DeLong,_
Mr. Mike Bartosh, 9881 Via Linda, Cypress, remarked that Cypress doesn't need
another' apartment unit and there has to be some relief from the traffic
congestion.
Mr. Barry Cannata, 5331 DeLong, Cypress, expressed his opposition to the "",,!::~
project because the area is predominantly residential and he asked why some
parcels were zoned R-15 and R-20. He is vehemently against this; it is too
large. there are not enough safeguards to the individuals in the neighborhood
and there is not enough parking.
Councilman Kanel recalled that the area used to be county and when was annexed
consequently the City assumed the zoning at the County level.
Mr. Cannata remarked that certain homeowners were not allowed to vote in the
zoning election and were told they would be R-15. The City Manager explained
how the present zoning was determined. Mayor Arnold asked how it could be
checked to determine when the zoning became R-20 and the City Manager
responded that it could be researched and a time determined; however, the City
6
-- /1
City Council Minutes August 22, 1988309
had attempted to provide a zoning that was the most compatible to the existing
County zoning.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated that he has opposed
other similar projects with the density bonus and this state law needs to be
challenged in the courts to determine constitutionality.
Mr. Manual Machado, 5433 Delong Street, Cypress, spoke against the landscaping
of the proposed project and the leaves in his pool. He also addressed the
zoning issue and the residents being unaware of the rezoning.
Ms. Susan VerSteeg, 5352 DeLong, Cypress, expressed her opposition to the
project and asked about the zoning of nearby properties. She also mentioned
the traffic problems and the school bus stop.
Mr. Edward Southfield, 8743 Watson Street, Cypress, voiced his objections to
the opening of the proposed project into his front driveway. He also spoke of
the traffic and pirking congestion. He mentioned that the school district had
not been notified of this public hearing.
Ms. Dorianne Garcia, 5732 Cathy Lane, Cypress, stated she believed that the
majority of the Cypress residents should be able to live on a street, be
afforded the ability to have their children play in the front yards, and cross
the street in a safe manner.
Mr. Kent Boydstun voiced concern about what will eventually happen on the
Watson Street entrance to the project and suggested a speed bump before the
stop sign. He felt they tried to address the problem by supplying enough off-
street parking slots.
Councilman Coronado expressed his concern with the density problem; however,
when a person buys property he has a right to do what he chooses consistent
with zoning and General Plans. He informed the developer that he would not
support any density allowance on that property and suggested building to the
amount of units allowed under current zoning.
Councilman Mullen requested prerogatives from the City Attorney in this
matter. The City Attorney stated that the proposal before the Council has the
density bonus which state law and city law provides for and the option is to
accept or reject it. Councilman Mullen requested the Council to consider a
continuance with a further staff report evaluating the issues that have been
raised to be presented to the Council at the next regular meeting.
Councilman Kanel remarked that the area has had parking problems for many
years because of the Arnold Cypress Park. He further stated that we might not
be able to develop the property without a density bonus and maybe a moratorium
or a lone change should be considered if people continue to complain about
apartment buildings.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Kanel to continue
this matter to September 12, 1988 and direct staff to return to Council with a
report on those items raised by the speakers.

CONTINUATION Q[_~ONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 88-14. WOODFIN SUITES HOTEL. SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CERRITOS AVENUE AND
VALLEY VIEW ?TREET: Mayor Arnold opened the public hearing. The Interim
Planning Director presented the staff report dated August 16, 1988 which
represented a request to construct a 124 suite hotel on a 2.72 acre site near
the southwest corner of Cerritos Avenue and Valley View Street with the onsite
sale of beer and wine for hotel customers only. In accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, a Negative
Declaration will be filed for this project. The Cypress Pointe Master Plan
shows there is another proposed driveway immediately to the east of the
Woodfin Suites which will serve as a common drive for the restaurant
-
(' /
I
311(ty Council Minutes August 22, 1988
businesses. Staff is concerned that two driveway entrances so close together
may create conflicts in turning movements for drivers entering Cypress Pointe
from Corporate Avenue and to resolve this concern, staff suggested a condition
of approval which will require the developer to relocate the east driveway.
Notices of this public hearing were published, posted and mailed to all
property owners within a 300 foot radius.
Mr. Robert Sundstrom, Williamson & Schmid, 17782 Skypark Blvd., Irvine,
representing Woodfin Suites, stated they have reviewed the conditions of
approval and with the exception of Condition N14, find them acceptable. His
comment on Condition #14 was with a subsequent redesign of the Suites, they
felt it was important to keep the east side of Woodfin Suites and the food
retail court separate.
Responding to an inquiry from Councilman Mullen, the Public Works Director
answered that the driveway would be moved westerly approximately 150 feet and
presently it is about 25 feet from the common drive.
Mr. Sundstrom indicated, for the record, if they do accept the wording of the
condition #14 the way it is written, he didn't want it to preclude that he was
accepting it without the possibility of coming back before the City Council
and staff with the proper documentation indicating it is a problem and ask for
a second driveway.
Councilman Mullen requested staff to provide acceptable wording for Condition
#14 consistent with the preceding discussions.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak on behalf of the project. No one
wished to do so. She asked if anyone wished to speak against the development.
Ms. Gail Kerry, 5196 Edgemont Circle, Cypress, stated she was not necessarily
opposed to the plan but questioned the rates to be charged and the type of
cl ientele,
.'
The Interim Planning Director commented that the weekly rates for this type of
accommodation are very high. The City Manager advised that there is a
condition attached to the permit that specifically limits the stay to 30 days.
Councilman Kanel stated that there are big corporations that would use these
facilities and did not understand the 30 day limitation because the cost
itself would be prohibitive. The City Attorney advised that the city has a
transient occupancy tax and it is limited to 30 days' stay.
Mr. Jay Katchka, 10455 Hampshire Court, Cypress, stated he was not necessarily
in opposition and is present to learn more about the project. He expressed
concern about the different grade levels and the different fence heights and
asked that consideration be given to raising the wall around the tract. He
was also concerned about the third story windows overlooking the backyards and
homes.
Mr. Albert Urs, 10456 Hampshire Court, Cypress, stated his main concern was
the low block wall and traffic noise. He asked City Council to consider
raising the block wall.
Councilman Mullen asked if the Council had the right to require improvements
to the block wall. The City Attorney responded that the homes are not
adjacent to the project, they are some distance and didn't bel ieve a condition
could be attached to raise the block wall.
Councilman Kanel commented that since the OVf:'rton Moore property is being
built up as par't of the Specific Plan, what is the answer for surrounding
properties that are 700 or 800 yards away. He stated that the hotel is such a
distance away that he didn't see how it could possibly look down on those
homes in that tract. The City Manager suggested that the homeowners might
contact the Building Department to determine if the block wall fence could be
raised, which has been done by homeowners in other parts of the community.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado to close
the public hearing, certify the Negative Declaration in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 88'-14, subject to conditions and requested the text
of Condition #14 from the Public Works Director. The Public Works Director
8
C;
311
City Council Minutes August 22, 1988
suggested adding the following sentence, "At the request of the applicant,
future modifications of access at this location may be considered by the City
Engineer subject to appeal for consideration by the City Council." Councilman
Mullen made revised condition #14 part of the motion and Councilman Coronado
concurred.
Responding to an inquiry by Councilman Kanel as to the concern of some nearby
homeowners, the City Attorney advised that there is no condition the City
Council can establish to this development that meets what they want to
accomplish.

Councilman Mullen agreed with Councilman Kanel and believed an adult should
have the opportunity to enjoy a beer with his pizza. He stated he didn't
consider proliferation of alcohol an issue in this type of an application..
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Kanel to close
the public hearing, certify the Negative Declaration as prepared according to
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 88-17.
Councilman Kanel concurred with Councilman Mullen's comments, mentioned other
eating establishments in the center and that it is a quiet center and beer and
wine goes with the food and he cannot turn the ap'plicant down. Counc il man
Coronado advised that he would dislike denying the applicant the ability to
sell beer and wine with the food.
Mayor Arnold expressed her opposition to the delivery of anything that
requires a large truck because the ingress and egress of center is unsafe and
she does not support the application for that reason.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 88-3 - SORRENTO (TEXACO
TANK FARM) RESIDENTIAL PLANNED COMMUNITY - CYPRESS HOMES. INC.: Mayor Arnold
opened the public hearing. The Senior Planner recapped the staff report dated
August 19, 1988 describing the present proposed plan, which includes Specific
Plan No. 88-3 with a maximum of 667 single family homes, offering two lot
sizes at a gross density of 4.6 units per acre. The proposed community park
remains at approximately 6.3 acres. This new plan also requires Zone Change
No. 88-6 to change the zoning from RS-6000 to PC 25A Planned Community
Residential No.7. A General Plan Amendment is not required. In accordance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, an
Environmental Impact Report has previously been prepared, certified on January
11, 1988 and considered, which addresses the environmental impacts of the
proposed project. Notices of the public hearing were published, posted and
mailed to property owners within a 300 foot radius.
The Recreation & Park Director stated that the Sorrento Plan provides the City
with the most significant benefit in exchange for the increase in density.
Cost estimates for the value of park improvements are a minimum of $450,000
and staff has included a condition of approval which requires the developer to
pay an amount not less than $450,000 for improvements to the Sorrento
Commun ity Pa rk . He also gave a slide presentation of various parks in the
surrounding areas.
Mr. Dave Langlois, President of Cypress Homes, Inc., 14 Corporate Plaza,
Newport Beach, advised that the Sorrento plan has undergone many changes since
its inception two years ago and reviewed the changes from the previous plans.
He also gave a slide presentation on the proposed development and the
advantages of the Planned Community over a conventional subdivision, Mr.
Langlois referred to Condition #9 of the staff report needs clarification
because they were contemplating setting up a maintenance district for the
parkways and the park. In Condition #8, he referred to wording changes of,
"Prior to tentative tract map submUtal..." to "Prior to building permits..."
the reason being that the cleanup operation has another four or five months to
go and they would like to continue to process the tentative tract map during
that period. He also referred to sub-paragraph (3) which reads, " . . . an
indemnification assurance to the City from developer and Texaco covering.... "
and stated he was prepared to provide that indemnity but wasn't comfortable
speaking for Texaco.
Councilman Mullen asked the City Attorney for clarification on the
indemnification issue. The City Attorney agreed with the changing of the
wording "tentative tract map submittal" to "issuance of building permits by
the City" and had added the words "...and Texaco" because it gives the City
two sources to refer to and also supply indemnification to the City.

Mr. Langlois complimented the City Staff for their depth of analysis in the
staff report and Specific Plan text and it was a pleasure to work with real
professionals.
Councilman Kanel drew attention to Condition #4, asked the Recreation and
I Parks Director if the $450,000 would be sufficient and he responded that the
needs could be well over $500,000. Councilman Kanel asked Mr. Langlois if he
would agree to change the contribution of $450,000 for park improvements to
$500,000. Mr. Langlois replied in the affirmative.
The City Manager clarified the request made by Cypress Homes, Inc. in
Condition #9, which was to delete the words "park" and "open space" in the
second line.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the matter.
Mr. Tom Cotton, 9454 Fleetwood Street, Cypress, stated he was impressed with
the negotiation of the procedure and development of this project and felt the
point has been reached where negotiations should end. He felt that by sizing
the properties down, the traffic situation is solved and he encouraged the
Council to vote for the project.
Mr. Henry Castro, 9893 Cedar Court, Cypress, Chairman of the Recreation &
Community Services Commission of the City of Cypress, expressed his group's
support of the park project and appreciated the opportunity to speak in favor
of the project.
Ms. Michelle Moore, 6633 Fichot Way, Cypress, voiced her opinion in favor of
the project and that many of the concerns expressed at previous meetings seem
to have been addressed by Cypress Homes, Inc. s new plan.
Ms. Ga i 1 Kerry, 5196 Edgemont Circle, Cypress, explained the good points and
the problem areas contained in the new plan as presented by Cypress Homes,
Inc., her major concern being the location of the park, five foot sidewalks
with no curbside parkway and does not address an opening walkway to the
intersection of Ball and Moody.
Mr. Phil Wendel, 2847 Knoxville Avenue, Long Beach, speaking on behalf of the
Cypress Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber supports the program and the
businesses at the south end of Cypr'ess are encouraged by the fact that there
wi 11 be hOUSing in Cypress available for the key business people and asked for
favorable consideration.
Ms. Judy Gilbert, 5791 Roxbury Court, Cypress, complimented the builder for
listening to the citizens input, thanked them for revising the plan and felt
it was time to proceed with the project.
Mr. ,Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, stated he was gratified that
there would be no street trees on the parkways.
Ms. Betty Cotton, 9454 Fleetwood Street, Cypress, asked the Council to proceed
with approval of the project because people want a development of which they
can be proud.
11r. Lyn Liddel I, Manager of Special Projects for Texaco, commented on the
proposed Condition #8, didn"t want to impede the progress of the project but
wisheo this matter to be addressed when Texaco comes back before Council for
approvals on the tank farm remediation and didn't want his silence to be
interpreted as concurrence with this condition. The City Attorney asked if
there was an indemnification from Texaco to Fieldstone/Cypress Homes, Inc. and
Mr. L i dde 11 responded that he didn't believe the contract had been introduced
to the City.
Responding to Councilman Kanel, Mr. Liddell clarified that he is not prepared
to accept this condition on behalf of Texaco and didn't expect to see it in
the Cypress Homes list of conditions. The City Attorney advised that sometime
between now and the issuance of building permits, the indemnification will be
required.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the project.

3~~ Council Minutes August 22, 1988
Mr. Leonard Maletz, 4508 Lemon Circle, Cypress, wished to know what the
outside periphery of the development would look like and more hearings should
be held so people understand what the Council is being asked to agree to. He
stated he wasn't really against the project and asked the Council to consider
the effect on the people surrounding the proposed project.
Mr. Albert Forkos, 9465 Fernbury Street, Cypress, commented that the document
he received announcing this hearing was very deceptive and kept many people
from attending tonight's meeting.
Mr, Burke Vest, 8051 Roper Street, Long Beach, operates a business in Cypress,
expressed is concern with the traffic impact, the developer should be
encouraged to develop the feeder road onto Denni Street instead of Ball Road
and move the park site north along Denni.
Mr. Norman Turf, 9414 Ethel Street, Cypress, wished to address where the
children would be going to school and is concerned whether they will be
attending another school within the district and if so, he would be opposed to
the plan.
Mr. Michael Scully, 9398 Danbury Street, Cypress, felt the safety issue of the
placement of the park has not been adequately addressed and suggested other
options be presented.
Mr. Bob Ericson, 9144 Evergreen Drive, Cypress, remarked that the location of
the park along Ball Road presented a safety factor and a lack of parking and
suggested moving the site to the north. He expressed concern about the cost
benefits assigned in the staff report and the feels the developer could be
doing a lot more for the units he is getting over and above the RS 6000.
Ms. Rose Yaillen, 5032 Canterbury Drive, Cypress, stated that there is no
parking allowed on any of the streets that surround the proposed project.
Mr. Bob Solheim, 9572 Sonwell Place, Cypress, expressed encouragement over the
improvements to the project and does not feel the City has to make the
concessions the developer is asking and desired the RS-6000 zoning remain.
Mr. Bill Calton, Superintendent of the Cypress School District, presented a
statement outlining and giving examples of the history of cooperation between
the City and the Cypress School District, to make sure there is a full
awareness of consequences to the decision and suggest alternatives that may be
considered.
Mr. Paul Hertz, 4284 Paseo de Oro, Cypress, expressed his concern that the
citizens were being shorted because he sees $8-10 million profit for the
developer. He stated that we need to renegotiate with the builder and ask him
what he is going to do for the City of Cypress.
Mr. Langlois, the applicant, responding to the major concerns, addressed the
park location and the many options presented; the access to Moody Street which
is acceptable to him if it is okay with staff at the tentative tract map
stage; the school fees and that they're proposing to create the finest
residential area in the city.
Councilman Coronado expressed his dismay with the school facility provision
and thought this matter had been addressed. He further stated he would not
yield on the school matter or the park issue and he was not ready to make a
decision tonight.
The City Manager recalled that the Superintendent of the Cypress School
District did provide viable options that exist and the size of the units to be
built determines the amount of money for the school district and does not
believe the matter is unsolvable because there are other sources to consider.
Councilman Kanel commented that the school district is receiving taxes and
other revenues and receives $.75 per square foot for everything that is built
that is residential and $.25 per square foot from commercial building within
the boundaries of their district. He felt the their estimate was too liberal
on the amount of children that would be living in the development.
Mr. Calton stated that the school district and the City Council have a
responsibility to the community and now is a golden opportunity to work
12
/
City Council Minutes August 22, 1988315
together on a matter that will affect the community immediately and for years
to come.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen to continue this matter to September 12,
1988.
Mr. Langlois advised that the school fees generated by this development would
be in the area of $1,3 million, the requirement to rebuild Landell School is
$1.8 million and believed the parties were not that far apart. He offered to
advance all of the planning fees as a credit against those school fees at the
point the first building permit is issued, which will allow the district to
proceed with their planning effort and work with the City on the redevelopment
funding.
Councilman Mullen withdrew his motion so Mr. Langlois' suggestion could be
considered by the Council.
Mr. Calton agreed to the proposal presented by Cypress Homes, Inc.
Responding to an inquiry by Councilman Coronado, Mr. Langlois answered that
the drainage solution will be temporary for a period of one to five years
until the county facility is upgraded. He also advised that it is incumbent
upon the developer to provide an alternate solution which has to be in place
and approved by the City Engineer prior to development. The Public Works
Director stated that the drainage designs will be resolved when the tentative
tract map is submitted and the interim construction of the temporary retarding
basin must be preceded by a cash bond or letter of credit to insure the
ultimate improvements are installed.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Coronado, to
close the public hearing, approve Specific Plan No. 88-3, Sorrento Residential
Planned Community Specific Plan, subject to conditions and approve the first
reading of the Ordinance by title only, title as follows, approving Zone

Councilman Kanel stated that the additional 50 units is not disturbing to him
and it does make the developer more money. He commented this project is going
to have amenities that are somewhat different, extra landscaping on the
outside perimeters and a park site. He stated he supported the project and
the Fieldstone is a very strong, high class developer and we are fortunate
they are developing the property.

park site, which has been the subject of public hearings conducted by the
