CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 8, 2009
The Associate Planner stated that due to the unforeseeable futures of leased buildings,
the City has encouraged SeaCoast Grace Church to accommodate all of its parking
onsite without additional agreements with neighboring businesses. She further
commented that the Church does have an existing reciprocal access and parking
agreement with the Los Alamitos Race Track for use of its parking lots to the south of
their property, which is over and above the City requirements.
Council Member Mills questioned the repair of Cerritos Avenue by the applicant rather
than by the City.
The Assistant City Engineer stated that the repair of property frontage is the
responsibility of the developer.
Council Member Mills requested that the backflow preventers be as low as possible and
that shrubbery be planted around them.
Council Member Seymore asked about the possibility of a smaller building in order to
lessen the impact on the area and given the parking issues.
The Associate Planner stated that this project is the culmination of over one year of
negotiations with the Church and is a reduction from the original proposal.
Mayor Pro Tem Narain asked for the number of trees that will be removed and replaced.
The Associate Planner responded that approximately 12 Eucalyptus landmark trees will
be impacted by the proposed building due to their close proximity. She stated that as a
standard mitigation for the specific plan area, there are provisions for the replacement
of those trees with a minimum 48" box tree size, however, they do not have to be
Eucalyptus trees.
Mayor Bailey asked about a permit amendment should the applicant purchase
additional property
The Associate Planner replied that the purchase of additional property would require a
permit amendment and the applicant is aware of such.
The public hearing was opened.
Mayor Bailey asked if there was anyone who wished to speak in favor of the item.
Lydia Sondhi, Cypress, spoke regarding replacement of landmark trees to address the
lighting coming from the Los Alamitos Race Track.
Rita Gamil, Cypress, expressed her concerns regarding overflow parking into
surrounding neighborhoods.
Mayor Bailey asked if there was anyone who wished to speak against the item.

City, and that they are in agreement with all of the conditions of the permit.

gymnasium.
Mr. Bullock stated that it may best be used as a multi-purpose room rather than a
gymnasium.
Council Member Luebben asked about the church's plans to prevent parking in
residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Bullock stated that the reciprocal agreement with the Los Alamitos Race Track

including Eucalyptus, Pine, and Liquid Amber will be behind the Vessels home and
along the Cerritos Avenue frontage.

Vessels home.

road being built in back.

Los Alamitos Race Track and how attendance would be accommodated.

buildings.

residents.
Mr. Bullock stated that approximately 17% of the members are Cypress residents.
The public hearing was closed.
Council Member Seymore asked about the installation of an additional traffic signal on
the access road near Cerritos Avenue.

the configuration for left/right turns, the need for an additional traffic signal is not
warranted. She further informed that there is an existing traffic signal at the Moody
Street entrance.
