public hearing open. The City Manager presented the staff report dated June 8, 1994,
which represented a request by Jamshid Hajimomen of CountrY-Fed Meat co., for a
Special Permit to allow door-to-door solicitation for the sale of meat products. The
Affidavits of Publication and Posting of the public Hearing Notice on this matter are on
file in the Office of the City Clerk and, as of this date, no written communications have
been received either in favor of or in opposition to this Special Permit application.
Attached was a copy of the Police Department's report of their investigation. In
accordance with Section 15-62 of the Cypress City Code, the City Council, having received
the report from the Chief of Police and conducting a Public Hearing, is to determine
whether or not the operation of the business will comport with the peace, health,
safety, convenience, good morals and general welfare of the public, or that the
applicant or other persons responsible for the management or supervision of the
business is unfit to be trusted with the privileges granted by such special permit or has
a bad moral character, intemperate habits or a bad reputation for truth, honesty or
integrity.
Responding to Council member Age, the City Manager advised that previously there had
been a different applicant who worked for the same company.
Mr. Jamshid Hajimomen, 1541 Harmony Circle, Anaheim, stated that country-Fed
delivered a high-quality product, a one year unconditional guarantee, and home
delivery at better priCing than discount stores.

solicitation.
No one else wished to speak.
Responding to Councilmember Bowman, the City Manager reported that currently the
City does not have any organizations soliciting door-to-door for food. He advised that
this same meat company had applied for a permit some months ago and had been
denied. This applicant was advised, but he wished to address the issue again.
It was moved by Council member Age and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson to
close the public hearing and deny the application for the Special Permit.
Councilmember Age remarked that this application had been denied in the past and she
did not feel comfortable with the door-to-door solicitation of meat because it would be

AND WINE TO OUTDOOR SWAP MEET. 5303 KATELLA AVENUE: Mayor Partin opened the
public hearing. The Planning Director reviewed the staff report dated May 24,1994,
which represented a request to add the sale of beer and wine to the proposed outdoor
swap meet located at the northwest corner of Katella Avenue and Walker street,
adjacent to the Los Alamitos Race Track. This project has been determined to be
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act because it is not
a project in that there is no potential for impact on the physical environment. As part
of the approval for an interim outdoor swap meet, a condition was included which
required the applicant to secure a separate license from the Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control if the sale of alcohol was to be proposed. At this time, the applicant is
requesting the addition of beer and wine to the swap meet operation similar to what is
offered at both the orange County Fairgrounds swap Meet and the Santa Fe springs

property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. A copy of the pUblic hearing
notice was also sent to the City of Los Alamitos as an adjacent jurisdiction. TO date, staff

CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE NO. 94-11, CONCESSION AND RESTROOM
BUILDINGS FOR LART SWAP MEET: The Planning Director summarized the staff report
dated June 8, 1994, which indicated the Council had approved CUP No. 93-12 for an
interim outdoor swap meet located on the southeast corner of the LOS Alamitos Race
Track property. Because the site plan was not detailed enough to approve other than in
concept only, Condition No. 30 was included to require that a Design Review application
be submitted and approved prior to the operation of the Swap Meet in order to more
precisely illustrate each aspect of the operation. In accordance with the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was
approved for Conditional Use permit No. 93-12 for the swap Meet use. Therefore, this
project does not require further environmental review. The concessions and restroom
buildings, which were not covered as part of Conditional Use Permit NO. 93-12, have
been determined to be Categorically Exempt, Class 11. The plans submitted with this
Design Review Committee application include a site plan, floor plan for the concessions
and restroom buildings, conceptual parking lot layout and elevations of the concessions
and restroom buildings. In reviewing the plans submitted for this application, the
Design Review Committee expressed concerns regarding the parking lot layout, exterior
elevations and the aesthetics of the concession and restroom buildings. Business Park
property owners requested review of the elevations of the proposed buildings and
after reviewing the initial proposed elevation, expressed concern with the festive tent-
like appearance of the proposed buildings and the pOSSible impact on the Business park.
The PUblic works Department is still in the process of reviewing the traffic control Plan
and, therefore, approval of the final parking lot and ingress and egress layout shall be
conditioned to conform to the requirements of the traffic control plan with final
approval by the Director of PUblic Works. The City of Los Alamitos met with staff and as
a follow-up to that meeting they submitted a letter requesting the addition of ten
conditions of approval of DRC NO. 94-11. Staff reviewed the conditions proposed and
prepared recommendations, which have been included as written or omitted.
After a question and answer period of staff, Council member Age asked if there would
be a condition on enClosing the dumpsters. Mr. Lloyd Arnold, LOS Alamitos Race Track
Swap Meet, 5303 Katella Avenue, cypress, responded to Council member Age and stated
that the dumpsters are dumped every night by 7:00 p.m. into their compacting system.
He expressed a concern about the condition prohibiting the vendors from entering the
property off of Katella Avenue. He felt that it would be easier for everyone to turn in
off Katella Avenue at 5 and 6 a.m. where there is a signal and he asked how it would be
policed.
The Public Works Director said that the condition is designed to address the City of LoS
Alamitos' concern. The vendor set up area is off of Walker so it makes sense to have the
entrance off of that location. Responding to Councilmember Age, the Public works
Director answered that this condition could be restated so there could be an early
review period.
Mr. Arnold would have no problem with the condition if there was an early review.
Also, Mr. Arnold commented that if Council does not like the roof on the concession
stand, tell him what they want.
After further discussion, Councilmember Age asked if Council could approve DRC 94-11
tonight, and have the exterior facade of the restroom and concession building and the
parking come back to the Council. The Planning Director replied in the affirmative.

ADDITION OF BEER AND WINE TO OUTDOOR SWAP MEET. 5303 KATELLA AVENUE, the
applicant, Lloyd Arnold, stated they are asking for a beer and wine permit, but he
advised that he had a problem with the fencing of the sales area. The Police Chief
clarified that was not a condition of the report; it referenced fencing the entire vendor
area and there is no inter-perimeter requirement.
Mayor Partin opened the hearing for those who wished to speak in support of or
opposition to the application. He noted that each Councilmember had received a call
from Bernice Place who registered her opposition to the sale of beer and wine at the
swap meet.
Mr. John parker suggested that it would be prudent to review this activity after six
months to one year and then consider the beer and wine permit.
Mrs. Lauretta callendar, 9408 Danbury Street, Cypress, asked if it were common practice
to allow beer and wine at swap meets. Councilmember responded that there were
some other swap meets that sold beer and wine.
No one else wished to speak.
Councilmember Bowman asked the City Attorney if the condition stated in the staff
report as condition No. 18 (which should be Condition NO.7 of the Amendment! in the
Analysis related to section 3.b'(2) of the resolution. He didn't want to have the City
limited only to an annual review. The City Attorney advised that the City has the right
to review under both conditions otherwise it will be reviewed annually.
After discussion, the City Attorney modified Section 3.b.(2l to include the term "revoke"
and add a Condition NO.8 to read, "Notwithstanding the conditions of Condition No.7,
the City Council maintains the right to review the sale of beer and wine."
It was moved by Council member Age and seconded by Council member Nicholson to
close the public hearing and adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows,

to summarize the report dated June 7, 1994, providing a brief background on the
shared daily programming of two religious networks, VISN and EWTN. TO address the
concerns of complaining subscribers, the Commission's recommendation was to release
one Of six PEG Channels, channel 59 and thereby provide to Copley/Colony the
unrestricted use of the channel. Additionally, the Commission recommended to
encourage copley/colony to program both the VISN channel and EWTN 24 hours per day.

recommendation until the meeting of June 27, 1994 to allow for both CopleY/COlony and
the City'S Cable Consultant to determine the impact of the recommendation as it relates
to the new Cable Act of 1992 and FCC Form 1200 regulations.
Mayor Partin suggested that this item be referred back to the Commission for a more in-
depth analysis of what this channel change will entail. He would like information on
viewership of the programs, financial impact to Copley/colony and the City and he
believed a continuance was in order.
Rev. Fredrick Glass, 9210 Whitney way, Cypress, a CATV Commissioner, referred to his
report, which was attached to staff report, and those conditions in that report to be
discussed with Copley/ColOny, that would specifically answer the Council's questions. He

of that report. He volunteered to answer any other questions from the Council.
