Mr. Lynwood L. Liddell, Manager/Special Projects of Texaco USA, provided a
brief status update on the Texaco tank farm cleanup project. He presented the
Council with the most current bar chart and advised that the anticipated work
will continue into April, 1989, the primary reason for the extended schedule
is a doubling of the estimated volume of dirt to be excavated and exported
from the site. He further advised that Texaco's primary objective continues
to be cleaning the site entirely according to the criteria set by all involved
regulatory agencies and the cleanup program is progressing in accordance with
approved plans.
Responding to Councilman Coronado, Mr. Liddell explained that the site
assessment program was primarily to identify the nature of any contamination,
they are finding more of the contamination now than the site assessment had
indicated and he explained the current findings and procedures.
Councilman Coronado stated, for the record, that he was worried that so much
more contamination was found than was anticipated and we had done everything
we could within the cost restraints and time schedule allotted.
Councilman Kanel clarified Mr. Liddell"s statement that certain portions of
excavated dirt were being moved to Santiago Landfill 'and it is permissible to
dispose of this dirt in the local landfills. Mr. Liddell further clarified
that the material that has a higher hydrocarbon content is being taken to the
Bakersfield area.
After further discussion, Councilman Coronado asked Mr. Liddell to provide an
official comment on the Radon situation. Mr. Liddell responded that there
have been no indications in all the testing that has been done of any Radon
problem on the Texaco tank farm site.
Councilman Kanel commented that the fact that the timetable has been exceeded,
more dirt has been removed is indicative of the care being taken to clean up
this site.
After further explanation, Councilman Coronado stated, for the record, he is
delighted Texaco is finding these added soils that need to be removed which
indicates that they are trying their very best to do a very thorough job and
while he was alarmed about double the quantity of dirt being removed, he was
glad they are being so diligent.

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 opened the pUblic hearing. The Assistant to the
City Manager mentioned that the Council had requested staff to research the
issue of density bonus and that report is due to be presented to the Council
on November 14, 1988 so there might be some consideration given to continuing
this matter until that meeting.
Councilman Davis asked if the City Council had any control in changing or
modifying the condition or were they required to subscribe to the state law ......>""~
regarding the density bonus. The City Attorney advised that Council cannot
change the state law and we would have to comply.
Councilman Coronado stated it seemed when any sovereign city has mitigating
reasons why they cannot adhere, they should have the constitutional right to
request some relief and he had asked that the den~ity bonus study be done.
Councilman Kanel advised that situations of density bonus have been before the
Counc i I in the past and the idea is to have a few affordable units in the
smaller developments where people of modest means dre able to rent.
After some discussion, it was decided to proceed with the public hearing to
gather data; however, any decision on this matter will be considered on
November 14, 1988 after receipt of the density bonus report.
The Planning Director presented the staff report dated October 19, 1988, which
indicated this matter was continued from September 12 in order to allow the
applicant to address concerns of the City Council and community and the
applicant has submitted a revised development plan which he believes has
mitigated those concerns. She mentioned that in Condition #34, line6, thf'
word "annual" should be changed to "annul."
Councilman Coronado commented that there is a decided lack of parking space in
the neighborhood.
After some discussion, the Planning Director stated that although density
bonus units cannot be reduced, we can attempt to mitigate any impacts created
because of an increase in density.
Mr. Kf!nt Boydstun, representing the appl ieant, stated they have done a lot of
work with the neighborhood trying to addres~ the concerns and problems that
could arise from the complex. He stated they redesigned the project to
mitigate the ingress/egrl'ss problem on Watson Street and addressed several
other concerns expressed by the neighbors. He stressed that the key to
running a large apartment complex is the management of that c()mplex. He uryed
the Council to approve the application tonight because they hrlve gone through
a great deal of expense and time in redesigning the project.
Mayor Arnold asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the appl ication. No
one wished to do so.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the project.
f1r. Barry Cannata, 5331 Delong Street, Cypress, expressed concerll that the
project would bring overcrowding, traffic Ilroblems, crime and overdevelopment
and he addressed those issues. He also qU~5tioned the different zoning
designations and requested more information about the state law un density
bonus. He felt the City had not satisfactorily addressed the parking
situation in the neighborhood. He also mentioned a petition requesting that 1i'-'''V'''''Il'
Watson and Delong Streets be rezoned R-) had been circulated and is at City
Ha 11 .
Mayor Arnold enumerated the items to which Mr. Cannata requested answers and
established that the zoning question was not a factor in this matter. She
advised that the zoning is RM-20 and if there are sufficient residents
concerned about this zoning designation therl there is a process to follow to
address that concern.
Responding to Mayor Arnold, the City Attol'lll'y answered that zone changes dre
usually at the request of the OWnfJr or app] icallt of the property or on the
motion of the City Council. He further advised that the petition from the
residents could be for their own property, not including the subject property.

City Council Minutes October 24, 1988 375
Councilman Davis commented that he perceived the object of the resident's
petition was to protest the density that the proposed development would
create.
Mayor Arnold clarified that there are a number of residents who are not in
favor of this proposed apartment complex and the petition was also used to
voice their disfavor of the project to the Council.
Councilman Kanel commented that the petition was a request to start the
proceedings for a zone change to R-l. He further advised that there is a tie-
in with the proposed development, to either let it be built or deny the
application and change the area to an R-l status. He stated maybe a
moratorium should be declared on the area.
Councilman Corrlnado stated that the petition was an appeal by the residents to
the City Council for a staying action.
Ms. Susan Ver Steeg, 5352 DeLong Street, Cypress, stated she was not speaking
against the project but wished to express a concern as to the proposed
development's view into an adjacent neighbor's property on Watson Street.
No one else desired to speak in opposition to the application.
Councilman Davis suggested that perhaps the code on required parking spaces
needed to be reviewed as parking is a major problem around apartment complexes
and condominiums in the City.
Councilman Coronado asked that the code requirements be specifically stated so
that developers know what the City's rules and regulations are, is concerned
about the density bonus units and the lack of sufficient parking space.
After further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Coronado and seconded by
Councilman Davis to close the public hearing and continue the matter to
November 14, 1~88 for a decision. The City Attorney stated that his report
for City Council will be an in-depth report on the whole situation of density
bonus and will suggest some options as to what the Council might do in future
situations. Councilman Kanel suggested a review of the entire neighborhood
for consideration of an R-l zoning designation and the R-4 design.\tion to
remain as is and it should be done soon. He also advised that the City
Council could take the initiative and change zoning, maybe some further
checking is required and he suggested continuance of this matter past the next
meeting.
After further discussion, the City Attorney suggested that the public hearing
be closed, the matter continued to November 14, 1988 for a decision and his
report, whilE' it will be extensive and cover the various options the Council
might have, will be directed more to the future rather than what can be done
about a project that is in process. He recommended that the present Council
be the body to make the decision.
The applicant agreed to continue this matter to November 14, 1988. Councilman
Coronado clarified, for the record, that the applicant had stated that if they
did not receive the density bonus units, they could not profitably continue
with this project. The applicant's representative replied that they would
have to design the project into something completely different, possibly using
two separate parcels.
Councilman Kanel suggested the public hearing remain open dnd be continued to
November 14, 1988.
Councilman Coronado agreed to amend his motion to leave the public hearing
open.
