"Marathon in the Sky," for the Cypress Library which was donated by Mr. Nagle,
the Orange County Racing Pigeon Club, the Orange Belt Homing Pigeon
Association and the State of California Racing Pigeon Association. He stated
that he received a phone call this evening advising him that the Conditional
Use Permit that he had previously filed is no longer valid since the Ordinance
is to be changed. He was informed that it will cost him an additional
$500.00. The Planning Director advised that since the Ordinance has been
changed, it will require an independent, individual review of this specific

site to determine what conditions would apply. Responding to Mayor Partin,
the City Attorney advised that the fee could be waived by Council but he would
not recommend it on the basis that many of the costs that are incurred are
user fees to cover City costs.
Councilmember Kerry requested the Council consider halving the fee or allowing
Mr. Nagle to use the old rates because of the length of time involved.
Councilmember Nicholson concurred.
The City Attorney advised that this issue should be agendized and brought back
to Council and then action taken. The Planning Director explained that since
the Planning Department does not have the authority to modify a fee, it is
paid up front and a request submitted to the Council. When an action is taken
on the use permit, an action is also taken on the fee.
Mayor Partin stated that when the Ordinance becomes effective, the applicant
applies for the use permit and pays the fee.
Mr. Nagle commented that the Orange Belt Homing Pigeon Association is having a
race for the City of Hope at the end of April and invited citizens to visit
the City of Hope this Saturday.
The City Manager advised Mr. Nagle that the request for Council consideration
of the application fee should come from him when he applies for his use
permit.
Councilmember Kerry mentioned the tremendous rainstorms recently and
recognized the outstanding conduct and work performed by the City Maintenance
crews in their response to requests for help.
Councilmember Kerry asked that the City Council recognize the Public Works
Department and Maintenance Division crews for their exceptional efforts in
assisting citizens in need of help under emergency conditions and to express
their appreciation to them. Councilmember Nicholson concurred. Mayor Partin
stated that Councilmember Kerry is absolutely correct and all the
Councilmembers would agree that the Public Works Department can respond
without hesitation.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Clarification of Matters on the 7:30 P.M. Agenda.
No one wished to speak.
The City Manager reviewed discussions held during the 4:30 p.m. Workshop
Session on the Cypress Redevelopment Agency and he summarized the actions
taken by the Council during the 5:30 portion of the Agenda.
The City Attorney mentioned three items discussed during Closed Session, which
were certain code enforcement violations, a matter of contract with Cal-
Science and a review of a matter of possible litigation.
The City Manager stated that the Council had directed two items be placed on
the March 9, 1992 Agenda: consideration of financial support for Cypress High
School's Grad Night and discussion of possible additional support for the
Meals on Wheels program.
CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0.
89-13, USE OF TEMPORARY TRAILERS FOR A CHURCH FACILITY, 4872 BISHOP STREET
MOMS ORANGE COUNTY HOLINESS CHURCH: Mayor Partin opened the public hearing.
The City Manager advised that he had received a letter from the Hamiltons on
Camp Street who have been neighbors of the church for many years and they are
supportive of the application for extension of the permit. The Planning
Director presented the staff report dated February 13, 1992, which represented
a request for a one year extension of an existing conditional use permit to
use temporary trailers for a church meeting room and classrooms located at
4872 Bishop Street. A previous Negative Declaration has been filed for this
project according to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act. Staff feels the one year extension will provide the church with adequate
time to proceed with construction and to maintain use of the site for its
services and related activities. Notices of the public hearing were
published, posted and mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius.
Staff has received no comments on this matter.

City Council Minutes February 24, 1992
Pastor Sakarai, OMS Orange County Holiness Church, Cypress, made a minor
correction to the staff report under "Background," first line, the date should
be "1986" not "1982." He stated that the church would like to continue to
utilize the modular units until they are prepared to move into the building
phase in approximately one year.
Mr. Fred Tanisaki, OMS Orange County Holiness Church, Cypress, stated that one
of the reasons they are asking to continue to use the trailers is that the
overall objective is the construction of the permanent facility and it will be
better met if they don't have to attempt to locate another temporary meeting
place during the one year period.
No one else wished to speak in support of or in opposition to the application.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Age to
close the public hearing and approve the extension of Conditional Use Permit
No. 89-13 to expire on January 13, 1993. The motion unanimously carried by
the following roll call vote:
AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Age, Bowman, Kerry, Nicholson and Partin

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 91-23, LIQUOR
STORE WITH OFFSITE SALE OF GENERAL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, 6271 BALL ROAD: The
Public Hearing was opened by Mayor Partin. The Planning Director summarized
the staff report dated February 14, 1992, which represented a request to
operate a liquor store with offsite sale of general alcoholic beverages in a
1,500 square foot lease space located at 6271 Ball Road within the Park Plaza
Shopping Center. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act,
a Negative Declaration of environmental impact has been filed for this
project. The applicant is requesting to expand the liquor license from
offsite sale of beer and wine to an offsite sale general liquor license.
Based on the present hours of operation and no record of recent police
activity at the subject location, staff feels the amendment is a reasonable
request. Notices of the public hearing have been posted, published and mailed
to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject parcel. To date, staff
has not received any communication regarding this matter.
Responding to Councilmember Kerry, the Planning Director stated that Dickerson
Elementary School is a minimum of 100 feet south of the site and notification
was sent to the Cypress School District.
Mr. Bruce Sasovan, interpreter, and the applicant, Mr. Thuy T. Nguyen, 9062
Hazard Avenue, Westminster, volunteered to answer questions from the Council.
After some discussion, the City Attorney clarified that the City's
determination applies to the land use and whether it is appropriate. The
. decision of the ABC applies to the individual and to the location as well as a
site for selling alcoholic beverages.
Mayor Partin asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or of against the
application. No one spoke.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson
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. 91-23, subject to conditions. Councilmembers Age
and Kerry stated they would not support the application because of the
5

business' proximity to the elementary school. Councilmember Kerry requested
that if the application was approved, that the owner comply with the new sign
ordinance. Mayor Partin commented that this location has had a general liquor
license, doesn't feel elementary school students would be impacted and he will
support the motion. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 3 COUNCILMEMBERS: Bowman, Nicholson and Partin
NOES: 2 COUNCILMEMBERS: Age and Kerry
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
rnNSTfIERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE• TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 91-309,
SUBDIVISION OF TWO PARCELS INTO FOUR PARCELS, 5796, 5816, 5836 AND 5856
CORPORATE AVENUE: Mayor Partin opened the public hearing. The Planning
Director presented the staff report dated February 14, 1992, which represented
a request to subdivide a 7.6 acre, two parcel site into four parcels. The
subject property is located at 5796, 5816, 5836 and 5856 Corporate Avenue in
the Cypress Pointe Business Park. According to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act, a Negative Declaration will be filed for
this project. Notices of this public hearing have been published, posted and
mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius. To date, staff has
received no comments on this matter. The Public Works Director reported that
the property owner's engineer called and requested that staff consider the
deletion of Condition No. 2 and change Condition No. 4 to read, "Prior to the
recordation of the Final Map, a Copy of the conditions, covenants and
restrictions (CC&Rs) covering access, joint use and maintenance of driveways,
drainage, onsite parking, irrigation systems, utilities, etc., for the
development shall be submitted ....The CC&Rs will be recorded concurrently
with the final Parcel Map."
Mr. James Dunlap, of Williamson and Schmid, Civil Engineers, 15101 Red Hill
Avenue, Tustin, representing Overton Moore Associates, explained that Overton
Moore owns all four buildings and the two existing lots and the desire is to
subdivide in order to make financing somewhat easier.
Regarding the deletion of Condition No. 2, Councilmember Bowman asked if there
were reciprocal agreements regarding parking, and Mr. Dunlap responded that
there are some general CC&Rs on the entire project; however, they don't deal
with those kinds of issues. Councilmember Bowman stated that there may have
been reciprocal parking agreements recorded between various lots and he would
not be in favor of voting this item until it is determined if any previous
development approvals have required reciprocal easements. The City Manager
expressed concern that once the lots are parcelized, they can be sold without
the City being privy to any reciprocal agreements or easements that might be
necessary. The applicant's representative advised that he would support a
continuance.
After additional discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Nicholson and
seconded by Councilmember Kerry to continue this item to the Council meeting
of March 9, 1992. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call
vote:

Conference Room.

City Council Minutes February 24, 1992
Mayor Partin explained that the task force positions were advertised,
approximately 30 applications were received, questionnaires were provided to
each applicant and Council discussions were held. The Task Force will consist
of an equal number of paid firefighters, volunteer firefighters and concerned
citizens and each Councilmember will appoint three people for a total of 15
members. There also will be a City staff person in attendance.

representative of the City.
There followed some discussion on the number of meetings, intervals between
meetings and the submission of progress report in 30 days.

each Councilmember appoint three citizens to the Fire Services Task Force for

NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
Councilmember Kerry suggested that perhaps the Council could provide the Task
Force with parameters.
Mayor Partin advised that perhaps Councilmember Bowman's suggestions should be
made official task force statements at this time.
Councilmember Bowman felt that there were two major issues: (1)'Are the
present professional paid firefighter services of Orange County adequate for
the citizens of Cypress and (2) Should Station 12 be closed because their
presence in an emergency is a threat to the community? Some items discussed
that the Task Force could research were: clarification on the ISO ratings;
7

City Council Minutes February 24, 1992
verification of all the numbers brought forward by Mr. Campbell and the County
Fire Department; assessment of the adequacy of the present system from a
public safety standpoint; the Regional concept of the five minute response
time frame and an analysis of what the response time represents.
Councilmember Kerry added the assessment of the City of Cypress Stations'
rating in the Fire Department's hierarchy of Orange County cities.
Councilmember Bowman requested the City Manager to provide the Commission with
the information as to how the Districting might fit into the City's future.
Councilmember Age stated that dollars and cents does need to be considered and
is the City getting the level of service they want for the money they're
paying. Councilmember Kerry commented that the Task Force should be asked to
determine if there are problems, what are the alternatives, cost-wise, and the
recommendations of the Task Force. Councilmember Bowman stated he would
support including costs.
Mayor Partin stated that one of the basic things that needed to be determined
is that the City of Cypress is receiving the same equivalent service as the
rest of the cities served by the Orange County Fire Department.
Councilmember Kerry stated that one of her concerns is the future, and if the
Fire Department is not looking at the whole picture then the Task Force should
consider a Master Plan.
Battalion Chief Mike McCoy with the Orange County Fire Department advised that
he is currently assigned to Station 17 in the City of Cypress and is familiar
with the discussions on Station 12. He stated he understood that the
Department's liaison will be Battalion Chief Kevin Brame also headquartered at
Station 17.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AUDIT REQUIREMENT FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
USING PUBLIC FACILITIES: Councilmember Kerry expressed the opinion that
perhaps this issue shouldn't be resolved at the Council level, suggested a
letter be sent to the various organizations asking them for their input and
then provide those organizations with some direction.
Mayor Partin suggested that those organizations of interest might be the
organized leagues and bingo organizations and the City can be of assistance to
help them with their finances, if requested. Councilmember Bowman stated that
audited statements still will be required from those organizations that are
using City facilities 24 hours day, plus receiving City funds.
After some discussion, Councilmember Age suggested staff compile a draft
letter for Council review. Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the Police
Chief explained the audit they conducted of the three licensed bingo
operatives.
It was moved by Councilmember Age and seconded by Councilmember Kerry to
direct staff to draft a letter for Council review at the March 9, 1992

the Texaco Park Kids' Corner voicing concern that they were losing good
teachers because of low wages and no benefits.

requirement that a plan be established. The City's plan will deduct 7.5% from
wages for the retirement plan and those employees can receive that money
whenever they leave the City.
