"D" which sets forth alternate proposals for the location of the C-O zone.

Exhibit "D" proposes only the west half of this area between Orange and Walker
be zoned as C-O, with additional acreage on the north side of Orange, west of
Grindlay. He further stated that the Planning Commission had recommended the
C-O zoning in accordance with Exhibit "C".
Mr. Richard Bowen, 4292 Nestle Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council, speaking
for the Federation of Community ~ffairs. Mr. Bowen stated that the Federation
had voted to support Exhibit "C", and felt the City should maintain architectural
control over the C-O zoned property since it will be adjacent to the Civic
Center. He indicated that the Federation felt that Exhibit "D" would allow the
block walls from adjacent residences to be located too close to the civic
center.
Mr. Richard Owen, re~resenting the Robert H. Grant Company, addressed the
Council, stating that his company has under option the 28 acres on the south-
west corner of Orange and Walker. Mr~ Owen reviewed his reasons for 5~ing
favor of the plan presented in Exhibit "D", with specific reference to the
fact that if the south side of Orange Avenue were zoned to C-O the entire
length of Orange Ave. from Grindlay to Walker, a large portion of it would remain
undeveloped for many years. Mr. Owen explained that his company would like to
subdivide the southwest corner of Walker and Orange, and also outlined the
problems which would be encountered in the street patterns if Exhibit "C" is
adopted.
In answer to a question from Councilman Wright, Mr. Richard Owen indicated
that the Grant Company would like to build a service station at the southwest
corner of Walker and Orange. Mr. Owen also expressed the desirability of
presenting his Cempany's Tentative Tract Map for the subject area simultan-
eously with the Zone Change request.

Council, concerning the street patterns in the adjacent proposed tract.
Mr. Willard Davidson, 9371 South Walker Street, Cypress, addressed the Council,
inqu~ing about the dimensions of the proposed C-0 zoning.
Mr. John Parker, 4662 Ashbury, Cypress, addressed the Council, requesting that
the City Council take into consideration the advantages to be gained byte
taxpayers, rather than just the Grant Company.
Mr. L. J. McBride, representrig the Cypress Chamber of Commerce, addressed
the Council, recommending that the City Council try to work with the Companies
that have developed property within the City, rather than to limit the land
for office use, which may not take place for 15 years.
Mr. Jack Leneker, 4504 Middlebury Circle, Cypress, addressed the Council,
supporting the zoning recommendation in Exhibit "C".
Mr. Richard Bowen again addressed the Coundl, stating that the Federation of
Community Affairs is presently working on a proposal for presentation to the
Planning Commissbn concerning commercial development of the City, and this
is one of the reasons the Federation is ~cking Exhibit "C"at this time.
There being no written communications and no further oral protests, the Mayor
declared the Public Hearing closed.
