THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cypress has considered an application
submitted by Scott Wilkeson, representing McDonald's ("Developer") for a drive-thru fast
food restaurant within an existing shopping center located at 4125 Ball Road within the
CG — Commercial General Zone (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the subject site is zoned CG — Commercial General Zone. Cypress
Zoning Ordinance Section 2.06.030 states that fast food restaurants with or without drive-
thru service are permitted subject to Conditional Use Permit approval in the CG Zone;
and
WHEREAS, on July 15, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing
and considered testimony on the application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the applicant agrees with the necessity of
and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this Resolution as being a
reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit or live in
this development in particular.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, based upon substantial evidence taken from
the administrative record and at the public hearing, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. Pursuant to the Cypress Zoning Ordinance Section
4.19.070 (Conditional Use Permits), the City Council finds, after due study and
deliberation that the following circumstances exist:
1. The proposed location of the conditional use is consistent with the requirements of
the General Plan and the Zoning District in which the site is located.
The Project is consistent with Policy LU-2 of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan to "ensure that new development is compatible with surrounding land uses,
the circulation network, availability of public facilities, and existing development
constraints". The project conditions (Exhibit A) include requirements to limit
operational impacts related to traffic, parking, noise, and other project components.
Cypress Zoning Ordinance Section 2.06.030 allows fast food restaurants with or
without drive-thru service with Conditional Use Permit approval in the CG Zone.
2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or general welfare, nor would be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
To the extent possible the project is designed to avoid negatively impacting
adjacent uses by including appropriate setbacks, landscaping, and other features.
The project design includes adequate parking, vehicular circulation, and drive-thru
queuing. The conditions included in Exhibit "A" will further ensure that the
construction and ongoing maintenance and operation of the restaurant will not
negatively impact public health, safety, or general welfare.
413
3. The proposed conditional use would comply with all applicable provisions of this
zoning ordinance.
The project plans meet all development standards as required in the Cypress
Zoning Ordinance. Further conditions have been imposed to insure the proposed
24-hour operations comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and exterior lighting
requirements.
SECTION 2. CEQA The City Council finds that the proposed project is
categorically exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Section 15332 — In-fill Development. The Project is an infill project in an
urbanized area on a site less than five acres. The Project is consistent with the applicable
general plan land use and zoning designations, will not have an adverse impact on any
natural habitats, and will not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality. Therefore, the City Council has determined that there is no substantial
evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Cypress hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-01, subject to the
applicable conditions included in Exhibit "A". The decision of the City Council is final and
conclusive as to all things involved.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress
at a regular meeting held on the 14th day of July, 2025.
