locatel~ on the northeast corner of Ball Road and Bloomfield Street, requested
by Augustine G. Garcia, 4902 Cathy Avenue, Cypress, and Robert l.!. Helms,
279~ Atlantic Blvd., LonF. Beach.
A report dated December 10, 1964, ~as presented from tile City Manager, stating
that the Planning Commission Secretary and tile City ~{anager have completed
a rev~e~.r of the subject area and have determined the follox~'tng: (1) It
appears premature to zone additional area in the vicinity of the zone change
request into commercial zoning, particularly for the number of acres requested
under the subject application, (2) The shape of the parcel and the
surrounding Planned Development zoning ~-~ould preclude the entire area from
developing into R-1 single family uses, and (3) the most desirable zoning for
tile suLJect parcel of land would be Planned Development, x~ith the possibility
that a portion of the property could be used for a planned commerdial development.
The report fnrther stated that it now appears to the staff that the 20-acre
requirement for Plauned Development Zoning may be undesirable in that several
parcels in the community which may be left as a result of surrounding development
could be Better utilized in a planned development zone. Therefore, the staff
feels that a reduction should be made in the acreage from 20 to 10 for minimum
size Planned Development zones.
December 14, 1964
Discussion was held concerning the Planning Commission's recommendation for
approval of tile subject Zone Change. The City ~{anager read in full Planning

A~I~D~IE~y~ ~I.~DING CODE R~.: REINSPE.CTION FEE.S: A report dated December 10,
1964, was presented from the City Manager, stating that the Building Superinten-
{lent has recommended an amendment to the Building Code 1964 Edition, adding a
subsection aS follows:
"(C) PZINSPECTION FEES. When any reinspection is required due to the
negligence of the permit holder, his agent, or other responsible persons,
or. due to the~ilure of said parties to comply with pervious correction
instructions, a fee of $5.00 may he charged by the Building Official for
each such reinspection."
The City Manager indicated that this amendment is primarily directed at those
contractors which obviously violate the requests of the Building Department
and require additional inspections for no legitimate reason.
Buildiug Superintendent Tom Nudson advised the Council that this amendment
had been recommended by the Orange Empire Chapter of the ICBO since the Uniform
Building Code has no provision for reinspect~on fees.
~r. Lee Goldin, representing the Larwin Company, addressed the Council,
recommending that this be included in the Uniform Building Code before be tng
adopted by the City as an amendment. Mr. Goldin further stated that he is in
favor of a reinspection fee ~ich covers the cost of the operation of the
Building Department, but he feels that all fees should be realistic.
December 14, 1964
The City Manager advised Mr, Goldin that the reason this provision is not in
tP~ Uniform Building Code is because of the variations in costs due to the
individual characteristi~ of each community, which would alter the inspection
COSTS.
Councilman Gorzeman questioned the use of the term "may be charged" rather than
"sh~ll be charged"~ which would make it mandatory and not require further
interpretation by the Building Superintendent. It was generally agreed that the
City Attorney should give this wor~ing further consideration in the final draft
of the Ordinance amendment.
Following discussion~ it was moved by Councilman Gorzeman, seconded by
Councilman Wright, and earried~ to instruct the City Attorney to prepare an
Ordinance amending the Uniform Building Code as recommended a~ove. The

INCRE~S.E .IN ASSISTANT. PLA~.NEB ~AL~RY R~ZqG~.: .~ A report dated December 9, 1964
was presented from the City Manager, stating that the postion of Assistant
Planner ~ich was authorized in the 1964-65 budget, has been widely advertised

qualifications, the City will be able to obtain a person who will require less
on-the-job training and who will be able to inmediately assume many of the
responsibilities now h~ld hy the Administrative Assistant.

Assistant Planner would be Range 17, or $696 - $864 per month.

CITY OF CYPRESS PREFERENCE CONCERNING bfU. N.I~IPAL COUR.T DISTRICTS The City
Manager informed the City Council that a report which is to be presented to the
Orange Coumty Board of Supervisors recommends a change in the judicial district
boundaries x~,hich would place the City of Cypress in the Huntington Beach District.
The City of Cypress is currently in the Ansheim-Fullerton Judicial district.
The proposed court site would be located in the City of Westminster.
The City ~'~Ianager suggested that the City Council may w~sh to take a postion
on this proposed change prior to official action by the Board of Supervisors.
~ayor Noe stated that he feels the City wonld be in a better postion if it
remained in the present A~aheim-Fullerton District, and further suggested the
possibility of Cypress b~ing the location of a future court to serve the
surrounding communities such as Stanton and Eos Alamitos.
The C~ty Hanager suggested communicating with the Orm~ge County Board of
Supervisors, indicating that ;their report concerning this change of district
boundaries is premature and needs more investigation before the City of Cypress
w~ll be willing to agree with the proposed change of boundaries.

:~ir. J~nes Duncan, 9582 South Walker Street, Cypress, addressed the Council
requesting a solution to the drainage problem on themst side of Walker Street
south of Orange. He stated that for the past three years water from the subdivision
at IntanF~e and Walker drains down Walker and ponds in front of the existing house
for several days.
The ~blic Works Director stated that he is studying the possibility of
constructing a corrugated pipe south. of the Intersection under Walker, to divert
the water to the west side of Walker. The Public Works Director further pointed
out that the permanent solution tothe drainage problem is the installation of
curb, gutter. and pave-out of the street.
Mr. Duncan stated that in his discussions~ with adjacent homeo~,mers about the
installation of permanent facilities. several of the property o~.~ners were
apparently not willing to assume this cost at this time.

Councilman Gorzeman, and unanimously carried, to instruct the Public Works
Director to investigate the possibility of placing a pipe across Walker Street
to divert the water from the east side of Walker.
