Review of Recommendations of the Cypress Transportation Advisory Committee:
Acting City Manager Beardsley introduced the Committee Members in the
audience. Mr. Beardsley provided a brief history of the Cypress
Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC). He also provided the Council with a
summary of the goals and objectives of CTAC. Issues were categorized into
three basic areas: "projects," "studies" and "in-process" and group
discussions were summarized after each session and relayed to the committee as
action items. The next step would be to solicit public input either through
public workshops or make the document available for public review or a
combination thereof. The following members of CTAC provided their impressions
of their experience with the committee and expressed their concerns on traffic
signal synchronization, traffic from Orangewood to Katella on Valley View, the
Holder Street connection issue, and freeway access ramps. They asked for
direction from the Council on the implementation.
Mr. Chuck Hicks, 10669 Charles Circle, Cypress
Mr. Don Sandefur, 5322 Halifax Drive, Cypress
Mr. Steve Oakley, 6323 Anguilla Avenue, Cypress
Mr. Mike Wallo, Mitsubishi Motors, 6400 Katella Avenue, Cypress
Mr. Beardsley stated that immediately after beginning its discussions, the
committee felt that they needed more information before the members could
offer adequate solutions to problems. Thus, the results of the study offer
more questions than answers. They have arrived at a consensus as to the major
problems and asked the Council if they would like wider public input to
solicit opinions. Councilmember Bowman asked if a public hearing could be
held.
After some discussion, Mayor Age announced that the final SCAG Southeastern
L.A. County Western Orange County Transportation Committee meeting will be
held August 30 with technical and policy boards in attendance. Many of CTAC"s
recommendations may be found in SCAG"s regional recommendations. The Mayor
suggested that if all those recommendations are adopted, it might be a good
time to present those for review along with the CTAC recommendations on a
future Council Agenda. Councilmember Kanel suggested there be a formal
adoption of the CTAC recommendations as goals with some timetable of
implementation and returned to staff for refinement then placed on the Agenda
for September 24. The City Attorney advised that this item need not be
published in the form of a legal public hearing but it may be published in the
newspapers to consider the opinions of the public. Councilmember Kanel asked
that staff prepare Certificates of Appreciation for the members of the
committee for the next Council meeting.
CLOSED SESSION: Mayor Age recessed the meeting at 6:37 p.m. to allow the
Council to enter closed session for matters of personnel and litigation. The
meeting reconvened at 7:48 p.m. with all Councilmembers present. Also present
were staff members Hamlin, Hill, Storey, Thomas and Wicker.

Commission public access grant award to produce the program "Coach"s Corner"
for the Cypress Centurion Football Team.

litigation matter.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Matters Not on the 7:30 p.m. Agenda.
r. Kenneth Hulse, 5158 Cumberland Drive, Cypress, mentioned the resurfacing
of Cumberland Drive, which didn't appear to be a satisfactory job. The Acting
City Manager responded that his staff would work with Mr. Hulse to resolve the
concern. Mr. Hulse also recommended that leaf blowers be prohibited to save
wear and tear on the environment. The Mayor responded that an Ordinance
relating to leaf blowers is scheduled for a future agenda.
Mr. Ted Hill, 10001 St. Vincent Circle, Cypress, commented that he is proud of
the Cypress City workers and they are to be congratulated. He complained

He asked if there was anything Council could do to encourage the Edison
Company to remove those poles and dirt. Mayor Age referred Mr. Hill's request
to the Public Works Director.

Cypress Little League All Star Team are going to the Western U.S. Regional
Competition, along with only one other team from California. She expressed
her congratulations to the team.

"America's Night Out Against Crime" with a large attendance.

Doris Allen's office regarding "Criminal Justice Week" which will be held
August 20 through 24 at the State Capitol in Sacramento. Assemblywoman Allen
has requested that anyone who has experienced a personal crime, please let her
know so she can carry the story to Sacramento.
Mayor Age announced that should the City of Los Alamitos approve the
settlement agreement this evening, the City of Cypress will be hosting a press
conference tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Clarification of Matters on the 7:30 p.m. Agenda.
Councilmember Arnold requested that the item on the Community Center Use
Policy be moved forward to be discussed after public hearings and hearing no
objection, Mayor Age so ordered.
Regarding Consideration of Award of Contract for Professional Surveying
Services for the Senior Citizens Center Expansion, the Acting City Manager
called upon the Assistant to the Director of Recreation and Park District to
explain that the grant is part of the 1986 State Park Bond Act that has been
approved for this particular project. One of the stipulations was that the
project selected must be completed by June of 1992; therefore, the architect
needs the survey information and if the process were delayed, it would make
the project's completion very near the expiration of the grant monies. The
survey information is needed for a completed design for review at an October
meeting.
Councilmember Bowman stated that he was under the impression that the
architect would provide the survey himself and he expressed surprise that the
architect didn't obtain a survey. Now, the Council has to make a decision
this evening that he felt will probably cost several thousand dollars more
than what it would ordinarily cost.
The Acting City Manager explained that the boundary and topographical survey
was specifically exempt from the architect"s contract.
Councilmember Kanel mentioned that the request was a "not to exceed" amount,
the survey is needed and they must go forward in order not to jeopardize the
grant monies.

paying this cost against the possibility of losing a 5132,000 grant so he

smoothly and the survey should have been requested some months ago.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 90-18 RETAIL
LAUNDRY/DRY CLEANING PICK-UP 4431 CERRITOS AVENUE; Mayor Age opened the
hearing. Ms. Hamlin presented the staff report dated July 19, 1990 which
represented an application to establish and operate a retail dry cleaning
service, excluding plant facilities, at 4431 Cerritos Avenue. In accordance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, a Negative
Declaration will be filed for this project. Notices of this public hearing
were posted, published and mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot
radius of this property.
Mr. Richard Dang, 17582 Waterton, Fountain Valley, expressed the feeling that
his business would provide a service to the community and asked for Council
approval.
After some discussion, Councilmember Bowman suggested that there be a
Condition No. 10 stating that this establishment be allowed to provide only a
pick up and delivery service and no dry cleaning plant on the premises. The
applicant agreed to the additional condition.
Mayor Age asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or opposition to the
application. No one wished to do so.
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Bowman 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. 90-18, subject to conditions, including a new
Condition No. 10. Councilmember Kerry suggested there be a refund of the fee
in this case because the applicant is just operating a dry cleaning pick up
and delivery service. Councilmember Arnold indicated she could not support
the suggestion. Councilmember Kanel stated that, in his opinion, 4250 is far
more than what should be charged for an operation of this nature and indicated
that he might support reducing the figure to something like 5100. After some
discussion, the motion as originally stated was unanimously carried by the
following roll call vote:
AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Arnold, Bowman, Kanel, Kerry and Age
NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Kanel to
reduce the fee for this Conditional Use Permit 90-18 to 3100 to cover costs of
staff time and to place it into conformance with this type of operation.
Councilmember Bowman stated he would oppose the motion as did Mayor Age. The
motion failed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 2 COUNCILMEMBERS: Kanel and Kerry
NOES: 3 COUNCILMEMBERS: Arnold, Bowman and Age
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
Councilmember Bowman suggested if a difference is to be made between a dry
cleaning plant and dry cleaning pick up and delivery, it should be delineated
in the code. The City Attorney clarified that the purpose of zoning is to put
compatible uses next to one another, the applicant is in a commercial-
neighborhood zone and that zoning requires the use permit.
CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 90-20 CYPRUS
CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH MACKAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE 8721 CYPRESS
AVENUE: Mayor Age declared the public hearing open. The Interim Planning
Director introduced the staff report dated July 18, 1990 which represented a
request to establish a church on a portion of the Mackay Elementary School
site at 8721 Cypress Avenue. In accordance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act, a Negative Declaration 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 property. In a
letter, Mr. Donald Cook, 8757 Los Altos, Buena Park, expressed his concern
about noise that might be coming from church activities and would like to see
a block wall constructed on the east property line to reduce any noise
impacts.
Mr. Nathan Walker, representing the applicant, 2755 Delta Avenue, Long Beach,
stated that they are requesting to establish a church in Cypress, to meet the
need of the community and their goal is to add to the community.

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: ADOPTION OF A MODIFICATION TO THE CITY
BUILDING CODES BY ADDING A CHAPTER FOR THE MITIGATION OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY
BUILDINGS: Mayor Age opened the public hearing. The Acting City Manager
summarized the staff report dated July 23, 1990, which proposes to modify the
currently adopted 1988 edition of the Uniform Building Code by adding a
Chapter 71 establishing a Hazardous Building Mitigation Program complying with
the requirements of the Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Building Law.
Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the Building Official stated that concrete
tilt-up buildings are not affected by this legislation; however, there is
other legislation in process to include these structures.
The City Attorney explained that the proposed Ordinance is primarily an
identification ordinance that identifies the problem and attempts to give
notice to the owner as well as any tenants of those buildings in the City that
might be hazardous.
Mayor Age asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or opposition to the
ordinance. No one wished to do so.
It was moved by Councilmember Kanel and seconded by Councilmember Kerry to
close the public hearing, approve the second reading of the Ordinance by title
only, title as follows, adding a chapter to the City Building Codes for
mitigation of unreinforced masonry buildings.

Recreation & Park District Matters: The Cypress City Council Acting as the Ex
Offico Governing Board of Directors of the Cypress Recreation and Park
District.
CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY CENTER USE POLICY: Councilmember Arnold
had requested that this policy be discussed at this meeting after being
continued from the July 23 meeting. The Assistant to the Director of
Recreation and Park District presented the staff report dated July 23, 1990,
which indicated that the Advance Reservation Policy of 180 days for weekend
activities for resident applicants and non-profit groups has worked well in
the past.
Councilmember Arnold had asked that this be placed on the agenda because, over
the past few years, she has had two Cypress organizations ask her for help in
confirming a date that was beyond the six month period. She explained that
she would like the Council to consider the possibility of extending the
11
i :

ty Council Minutes August 13, 1990
reservation date to at least one year. Councilmember Arnold stated that if
the citizens of Cypress want to reserve the facility, they should be allowed
to do that more than six months i,n advance.
Councilmember Kanel remarked that there was merit to the request and suggested
that it be given. to the Recreation and Community Services Commission for their
recormnendations. Mayor Age and Councilmember Bowman found no objection to the
one year reservation date. Councilmember Kerry encouraged citizens to go
before the Recreation and Community Services Commission to voice their desires
as to the extension of the reservation dates.
.
After further discussion, there was a consensus of the Council to return this
item to the Recreation and Community Services Commission for their discussion
and recommendation to the Council to be given at the City Council meeting of
August 27, 1990.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL DENSITY BONUS POLICY
SECTION 912 OF THE CYPRESS ZONING ORDINANCE RE: "PURCHA5E AGREEMENTS": The
Interim Planning Director presented the staff reports dated July 13, 1990 and
July 30, 1990, which represented the revised section of the Density Bonus
Policy addressing "Purchase Agreements." The City Attorney's office
researched the "Purchase Agreement" and concluded that the City could impose
reasonable restrictions based on specific information. With the increased
length of time in which resale restrictions apply, the City is faced with a
balance of two equities and to achieve a balance between the two competing
equities, some program reflecting a reasonable middle-ground needs to be
established that favors the property interests with the progress of time.
Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the Interim Planning Director answered
that there are no pending applications for resale units. Councilmember Bowman
expressed his opposition to a resale restriction because if there are several
units in a tract with resale restrictions, it is not fair to the rest of the
neighborhood or to the people in those particular units.
After some discussion, Councilmember Bowman clarified that he did not have a
problem with the restriction but did have a problem with limiting the resale
amount.
The City Attorney explained there could be a separate set aside fund that
could be used City-wide and not necessarily restricted to redevelopment.
State law requires that the City give a density bonus for a developer who
wants to build which, in return for the higher density the developer gets,
they then have to keep a certain number of units as low/moderate income
housing. Councilmember Bowman expressed the opinion that he liked the fund
but disliked resale controls as far as total sales amounts.
Mayor Age requested the City Attorney review opinions on this item and discuss
them at the meeting of September 10, 1990.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Kanel to
continue this item to the September 10, 1990 Council meeting. The motion
unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Arnold, Bowman, Kanel, Kerry and Age
NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
PERMIT ORDINANCE: The City Attorney presented the staff report dated July 6,
1990, which indicated how outdoor concerts could be governed and an ordinance
has been prepared which amends certain provisions of the City's live
entertainment permit ordinance. The ordinance accommodates the incorporation
of concerts and similar outdoor events under the provisions of the live
entertainment ordinance and brings the ordinance into compliance with recent
U.S. Supreme Court and California Court cases. The ordinance provides for two
different kinds of permits.
After some discussion about the various organizations and groups affected, the
Police Chief advised that there is a very specific ordinance that addresses
commercial enterprise carnivals and even charitable organization carnivals are
not exempt due to the inspections that must be made of the equipment.
12
City Council Minutes August 13,,,1990
Councilmember Kerry suggested that notification be given within a 1000 foot
radius of any property subject to a live entertainment hearing. Councilmember
Bowman did not object to sending notices within a 1000 radius on live
entertainment held outdoors but believed 300 feet was adequate for
entertainment held indoors.
After some discussion, Councilmember Kerry suggested a compromise of 750 feet
and Councilmember Bowman and Mayor Age concurred. The City Attorney suggested
300 feet for inside live entertainment and 750 feet for outside live
entertainment. He also inquired as to whether nonprofit groups would be
exempt. Councilmember Kanel commented that he would not charge a fee to the
nonprofit groups but they hire professionals and noise is noise. The City
Attorney mentioned two concerns: 1) if nonprofit groups are to be
deregulated, they will be deleted from their exemption in the ordinance and 2)
if Council wants nonprofit groups to have a reduced fee, that would come later
by Resolution. Councilmember Arnold had no problem with the reduced fees for
nonprofit groups, but live entertainment permits would be the same for all
groups. Mayor Age concurred.
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Bowman to
approve the first reading of the Ordinance by title only, title as follows,
amending Chapter 9 "Entertainment" relating to outdoor concerts and similar
activities, eliminate the exemption for nonprofit groups and hearing notices
for all live entertainment permits to be held outdoors mailed within a 750
foot radius.

' CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT CHANGE ORDERS FOR SOIL REMEDIATION
AND FUEL FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION AT THE CITY MAINTENANCE YARD PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT NOS. 8876 AND 8968: The Assistant City Engineer, Jim Hill, summarized
the staff report dated August 7, 1990, which indicated that on June 11, 1990
the Council was apprised of the status of the two ongoing fuel facility
projects. ProTek Environmental, Inc., one contractor, was not pursuing the
project and had asked to be released from the agreement. The next lowest
responsible bidder Tetra Tech agreed to assume the project at their original
bid price based on 2000 cubic yards of soil to be treated. Further
measurements on the contaminated soil estimated the quantity to be at least
5000 cubic yards of contaminated soil. As a result of time spent getting the
project to its current state of completion as well as the delays and extra
work caused by Protek, the original allocation has been expended and to
continue the soil excavation and remediation monitoring, additional
expenditures will be necessary. Also there will be needed expenditures for
groundwater monitoring and reporting and permit applications.
Responding to Mayor Age"s question regarding an earlier directive from Council
concerning possible legal action against the City"s professional consultant
for this project, Hydrotech, Inc., the City Attorney commented that he had
looked into the matter and based on the information provided to the consultant
by the staff, he was performing adequately within the terms of the proposal
that he offered. The Acting City Manager stated that the 2000 cubic yards
used for bidding purposes was not developed by the current consultant. He
also stated that he was not aware of any consultant that would take this type
of project on a fixed fee. Rather, they would take it only on a time and
materials basis because of the largely unknown subsurface conditions.
Mr. Hill reported that a little over one-half of the excavation has been
filled now and three sides of the excavation are already certified as clean.
Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the Assistant City Engineer replied that
the City will be installing two new underground tanks that are double walled,
with leak monitoring devices and will have and monitored with a guarantee for
a period of time.
