CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES TO IMPLEMENT
NECESSARY PROGRAMS RELATED TO THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT MEASURE M FUNDING:
The City Manager reviewed the staff report dated March 15, 1993, which
explained that as a part of the Measure M funding program, the City of Cypress
was required to adopt a Growth Management Element to the Cypress General Plan.
To ensure that the implementation measures are completed within the required
time frames, staff asked the firm of Cotton/Beland Associates, Inc. to provide
the City with a cost analysis, as well as an analysis of the necessary
implementation program. Because one of the main components of this program
must be completed by June 30, 1993, or funding may be jeopardized; staff
recommends that Cotton/Beland Associates, Inc. be retained to establish the
Growth Management implementation programs for the City.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson
to award a contract for consultant services to Cotton/Beland Associates, Inc.,
747 East Green Street, Ste. 400, Pasadena, CA 91101-2119, for implementation
of the Growth Management Element as identified in the attached proposal, for a
fee not to exceed $14,080. The motion unanimously carried by the following

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT N0. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
ASSOCIATED SOILS ENGINEERING, INC., CYPRESS SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER, PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECT N0. 9033: The City Manager presented the staff report dated
March 10, 1993, which indicated a professional services agreement for
geotechnical and special testing/inspection services with Associated Soils
Engineering, Inc., was approved on April 6, 1992 for the Senior Citizens
Center Project. The cost of the services at that time was estimated not to
exceed $10,000.00 and was reflected in the agreement. Due to the extensive
unstable soil problems encountered at the site, it was necessary to retain
Associated Soils Engineering, Inc., for observations, testing and
recommendations to a greater extent than originally anticipated. It is now
estimated that it will require additional materials testing for compaction of
aggregate base and asphalt plant inspection, costing approximately $3,000.
Therefore, Amendment No. 2 needs to be accomplished increasing the total
contract amount to $22,000.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson
that the City Council, acting as the ex-officio Governing Board Directors of
the Cypress Recreation and Park District, approve Amendment No. 2 to
Professional Services Agreement for Geotechnical and Special Inspection
Testing and Inspection Services, with Associated Soils Engineering, Inc., 3320
Airport Way, Long Beach, California 90806, for a total contract amount not to
exceed $22,000.00. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0.
C-192, INSTALL DOORS ON EXISTING CARPORTS, LA PALMA APARTMENTS, 6452 ORANGE
AVENUE: The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. The City Manager noted,
for the record, that a communication was received from the applicant and
Council has been provided with copies. The Planning Director presented the
staff report dated March ll, 1993, which represented a request to add garage
doors to existing carports at the La Palma Apartments located at 6452 Orange
Avenue. According to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act, this project is considered to be Exempt, Class 1. The applicant proposed
to add doors to the existing open carports due to his concerns about security
for residents. The doors would be placed between the support beams which now
separate each parking space. No partition walls are proposed. The Planning
Department supports approval of the addition of the carports, subject to the
installation of partition walls between carports and any improvements required
under the current uniform Building Code. Notices of this public hearing were
published, posted and mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius.
Staff has received no communication regarding this application.
Mr. Leonard G. Bekemeyer, 21062 Brookhurst Street, Huntington Beach, stated
that some of the parking bays have three, four and five spaces. He advised
that he was satisfied with two of the three conditions and wished to speak to
7
N V
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES March 22, 1993
the condition requiring partition walls. In summary, his letter to the
Council addressed his phone calls to six other cities and only one of them
required partition walls between each parking space. He suggested that a key
operated, center turn lock for the garage door be installed.
Mr. Manhal Suriano, the apartment manager and a tenant, reported that they
have been suffering from a rash of car burglaries and vandalism. The tenants
are not concerned about the partition walls; they are concerned about having
the garage doors for security.
The Police Chief advised that security doors are better with partitions than
with doors alone.
Mayor Kerry asked if anyone wished to speak in support of or opposition to the
application. No one wished to speak.
Councilmember Bowman commented that he didn't have a problem at all with not
installing partitions, and he was of the opinion it didn't need to be a
requirement. He would like to reword the conditions so the applicant would be
able to just install the garage doors. Councilmember Nicholson requested the
center turn, key operated locks be included. Councilmember Bowman concurred
and also a condition that if there is a future permit, it would require the
partition walls.
After some discussion, the City Attorney suggested that Condition No. 1 be
changed to read, "Prior to the installation of garage doors, the Building
Official shall conduct an inspection of the existing carport/building
structure. Based on the results of the inspection, the applicant shall
install all garage doors subject to applicable State and local regulations."
Councilmember Bowman concurred with the change in Condition No. 1. He
requested Condition No. 2 be deleted and the conditions mentioned in Mr.
Bekemeyer's letter be included in the amendment.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson
to close the public hearing and approve amendment to CUP No. C-192 with the
amended conditions.
Mayor Kerry suggested that the Condition No. 5 be amended to include wording
about any substantiated complaints or problems received, then the separation
walls might be required. Councilmembers Bowman and Nicholson agreed to amend
their motion. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Age, Bowman, Nicholson, Partin and Kerry
NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None
The Police Chief encouraged Mr. Bekemeyer and the apartment manager to educate
the tenants to secure the garage doors at all times.
The Planning Director clarified those conditions to be placed on the amendment
to the permit, which resulted in the following wording:
1. Prior to the installation of garage doors, the Building Official shall
conduct an inspection of the existing carport/building structure. Based
on the results of the inspection, the applicant shall install all garage
doors subject to applicable State and local codes.
2. If substantiated complaints are received, the property owner shall a
install partition walls. Proposed plans for the partition walls shall
be drawn to demonstrate adequate width for individual garages. Plans
shall be reviewed and approved by the Police Department, Orange County
Fire Department, Planning Department and the Building Official.
3. Prior to installation of the garage doors, the final exterior color
scheme for the doors shall be approved by the Planning Department.
4. A center turn lock such as the Holmes CL-1P, which will always latch
when closed be required with a key to open.

to present the staff report dated March 12, 1993, which referred to a letter
received from Robert Kingsbury of Grace Church and Lloyd Arnold, representing
the current landowners, requesting a determination as to whether a 300+ unit
Christian Living Center may be considered for Parcel 3 of the Cypress Business
and Professional Center Specific Plan. The issues of compliance with the Land
Use Map and the goals, policies and objectives of the Specific Plan; and
compliance with the assumptions of the EIR prepared for the Specific Plan need
further resolution. Depending on how these matters are resolved, additional
compliance issues may also be required relating to the Airport Environs Land
Use Plan and the Redevelopment Plan. It is recommended that the City Council
review the City Attorney's memorandum and then direct staff to either receive
and file this report or to prepare a report outlining any regulatory
modifications necessary to allow the applicant an opportunity to apply for an
"adult Christian living center."
It was moved by Councilmember Nicholson and seconded by Councilmember Age to
receive and file the report.
Mr. Bob Kingsbury, Administrative Pastor of Grace Church, commented that this
project has been planned for a long time and the demand for retirement homes
seemed to be for larger units. He described some of the features that would
be included in the proposed project. He advised that the project would not be
restricted to members of Grace Church but the atmosphere would be that of a
Christian adult living center.
Councilmember Age remarked that Council needed time to review the City
Attorney's memo and she called for the question.

person assigned to the task force act as ex-officio Chair and second, increase
the current members from six to seven.

Recreation & Park District Matters:
CONSIDERATION OF THE CYPRESS CULTURAL ARTS ASSESSMENT REPORT FINDINGS AND
SUBSEQUENT SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: The Recreation and Park Director
presented the staff report dated March 16, 1993, which described several
months of study conducted by the consultant, ArtsMarket Consulting, Inc. and a
13 member community volunteer steering committee. The purpose of the Arts
Assessment Steering Committee was to conduct the information sweep,
determining appropriate methods and tools to collect the information. He
requested the consultant, Joan Lounsbery provide a summary of the workshop
session held with the Council earlier in the evening.
Ms. Joan Lounsbery, ArtsMarket Consulting, Inc., formally presented the study
and report of the cultural needs assessment for the City of Cypress. The
results will be studied by six volunteer topic groups, which are currently
meeting to address the six priorities identified in the cultural needs report.
The Recreation & Park Director commented that they were very pleased with the
results of the assessment and focus groups were formed to take the assessment
further to develop goals and objectives for the six recommended areas of
marketing, education, funding, programming, roles of the Commission and
facility. During the informal meeting with the Council earlier, the focus
group discussed the facility issue and Council was receptive to the
recommendation to pursue a feasibility study concerning the group concept of a
possible multi-use facility, referred to as the "Gardens." Council then
directed staff to pursue a possible tour of a similar facility in the county
and to combine the cultural arts study with an already commissioned Civic
Center complex feasibility study and explore the need of a staff person to
facilitate the planning.
