CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CERTIFICATION OF CYPRESS BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONAL CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN - FINAL SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT: The City Manager called upon the Planning Director, Chris Eynon to
present the staff report dated April 4, 1990, which indicated that the 45 day
public review period concluded and responses had been prepared. Since the
public hearing on the Draft EIR has been closed, the Council must certify the
subsequent EIR before opening the public hearing on the Specific Plan and the
Development Agreement. She presented a statement to be attached to the
Statement of Overriding Consideration, submitted requests to modify the
mitigation measures and additional conditions drafted for the EIR and Specific
Plan. She advised that there were additional measures from the Public Works
Director to be entered into the record and the applicant and the EIR
consultants were in the audience to answer questions.
Councilmember Kerry asked about Denni Street and the recommendations for that
street. The Public Works Director responded that the EIR and the Specific
Plan both refer to the ultimate condition of Denni Street if it is connected
and the Development Agreement will preclude the opening of Denni Street for 15
years or the time the golf course would redevelop, whichever occurs first.
After some discussion, the City Attorney advised that it would be best not to
consider any amendment at this time, if possible. If there were a concern and
the specific plan were modified, it may require some additional EIR review.
There followed a question and answer session on the zoning, golf course, Denni
Street and the Development Agreement. Councilmember Kanel suggested that the
meeting recess until later in the evening to enable staff to review the
documents just presented to the Council. The City Manager expressed
hesitation with documents being presented at the final hour and then being
asked to make a decision on those documents without staff and the City
Attorney reviewing them thoroughly. He stated that the real issues are the
Specific Plan and the Development Agreement.
Mayor Age announced that the discussion on the final subsequent EIR and the
public hearing on the Specific Plan for the Cypress Business and Professional
Center would be addressed on April 17, 1990 after the documents had been
reviewed by the City Attorney and City staff.

reconvened at 6:45 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.
