CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ORANGE AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN: Associate Planner
Holly Hamlin presented the staff report recalling the workshop held on design
alternatives for the Orange Avenue Residential Specific Plan. The subject property is a 2.8
acre site located near the northwest corner of orange Avenue and Moody. Council met
with staff and the City's consultant, Mr. MIchael Burke, RBF, at which time several
planning alternatives were Introduced, each with different dwelling unit densities,
access points, phasing and housing prOduct types. He also provided Council with a
packet of sketches illustrating the various alternatives.
The City Manager advised that there Is no change from the presentation made at the
workshop and it appeared to be a matter of direction from the Council as to which
alternative they prefer.
Councllmember Kerry mentioned two possibilities, A.2 and B-5, which offer an opening
onto Alderbury. She did not want to see three or more openings onto orange Avenue.
Councllmember Bowman agreed that A-2 would be a good plan but the people on
Alderbury do not want that street opened. He suggested the more realistic choice
would be B-5.
Councllmember Nicholson stated she would like less street openings onto orange
Avenue.
Council member Bowman mentioned that A-2 would probably not work and suggested
alternative B.5 or C-3 as the best choices. He commented that all three options should
be recommended.
It was moved by Council member Nicholson and seconded by Council member Kerry to
recommend alternatives A-2, B.5 and C-3 to the consultant. The motion unanimously
carried by the following roll call vote:

company, 1S189 Sierra Bonita, Chino, California 91710, for the weekly cleaning of the

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUES FOR RECOMMENDED CITY-WIDE TRAFFIC FEE:
The City Attorney advised that the final resolution and ordinance presented tonight Is
substantiallY similar to the draft previously received in the Council packet. The
documents were prepared by the Traffic Consultant, with modifications made by the
City Attorney in order to meet legal reQuirements. The difference between this
ordinance and most urgency ordinances is that this Is authorized pursuant to the
government code, which basically gives a 30 day rather than a 45 day effective period so
that If the Council desires to extend, it can be extended one more time for 30 days, but
in no event would the ordinance be in effect for more than 60 days.
Council member Bowman referred to page 2, paragraph C regarding current legislation
that dictates that a developer pay a fair share toward transportation improvement. He
asked the City Attorney what legislation addresses that because he didn't recall anything
in Measure M that reQuired a fee. The City Attorney stated he or the Traffic Consultant
would provide that Information. Council member Bowman Questioned who had the
authority to Impose the legislation that dictated fees and he felt uncomfortable voting
for it If, In fact, there was no such legislation.
The City Manager suggested that the ordinance and resolution be adopted because if
not adopted, it would place the City in jeopardy for continued funding. A chailenge
could be raised but not in advance of adopting the ordinance and the Business Park
property owners are supportive of this ordinance.
It was moved by Councilmember Age and seconded by Council member Nicholson to
adopt the Ordinance and the Resolution by title only, title as fOllOWS, establishing a
traffic improvement fee for the New Developments/Redevelopments within the City and
establishing or modifying traffic Improvement fee for developers within the City. The
City Attorney advised that a status report would be brought back before the Council
and, at that time, the information on the legislation will be provided. Responding to
Council member Bowman, the City Attorney suggested adding the wording, .....as
determined by the City Engineer and approved by the City Council" In two places in the
Ordinance. Council members Age and Nicholson concurred with the amendments as
proposed by the City Attorney.
ORDINANCE NO. 907
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA,

FOR A LOAN. IN THE AMOUNT OF $40.000: This item was continued from the City Council
meeting of January 24, 1994 and Mayor partin requested the representatives from the
Boys & Girls Club step to the podium.
Council member Bowman suggested that the BOYS & Girls Club receive a loan of $20,000
spread over four years, repaid at $5,000 per year at 5% interest in four annual
installments beginning in 12 months.
Mr. st. Clair stated that when they came to the January 24 Council meeting, they
attemPted to give the Council an idea of what they were trying to do. The Boys & GirlS
Club is stable, but there are a lot of programs requiring more funds than anticipated.
Councilmember Age expressed the opinion that this was a fair agreement and would
protect the City more than their previous request.
It was moved by Council member Bowman and seconded by Council member Kerry to
extend a loan in the amount of $20,000 at 5% Interest for four years to the Cypress BOYS
& Girls Club to be repaid at the rate of $5,000 per year plus interest beginning in 12
months. Council member Nicholson advised that because her husband is on the Board of
Directors of the Boys and Girls Club, she will abstain from voting. The City Manager
clarified that there were still two deferred payments and asked if they would be made
through this funding. Ms. Maxwell, Executive Director, advised the $2,000 will be paid
off with current funding at $500 per month for the next four months. The City
Attorney Will prepare the loan agreement. The motion carried by the fOllowing rOil call
