COMMUNICATION FROM CITY OF COERCE lIE: ALLOCATION OF SALES TAX: The City Manager reviewed a communication dated November 26, 1968 from Mr. Lawrence Wo O'Rourke, City Administrator of the City of Commerce, transmitting a draft of a Report on Tax Reform of the Revenue and Taxation Subcommittee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce State and Local Government Committee which implies that further studies should be made of the Bradley-Burns formula for the allocation of sales tax for possible change from the place of sale basis to a per capita basis. The communication further requests the cooperation of all cities in developing a program of research, education and legislative advocacy to preserve the present status of the sales tax distribution formula. The City Manager indicated that while Cities, such as the City of Con~nerce, having a heavy concentration of con~nerce and industry with comparatively small populations would witness a drastic reduction in sales tax revenue, if the formula were to be changed to a per capita basis, other communities, such as the City of Cypress, lacking in sales tax revenue with larger popu- lations would gain substantial increases in revenue if the formula were to be altered. Therefore, the City of Cypress would receive the most benefit from a change in the formula to a per capita basis. It was moved by Councilman Harvey, seconded by Councilman Noe and unanimously carried to request the City Manager to notify the City of Commerce that the City of Cypress would not be willing to participate in the program to retain the present formula of the Bradley-Burns sales tax act- City Council Minutes December 9, 1968 RECESS: The Mayor declared a recess at 7:59 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 8:05 p.m., with all City Councilmen being present. PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE--BUILDING OR STRUCTURAL HEIGHT LIMITATION: The Mayor declared this was the time and place for the Public Hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance No. 90, Section 109.5 and 110.5, "BUILDING OR STRUCTURAL HEIGHT LIMITATION", to increase the setback in multiple zones for two story apartments when adjacent to R-I (One-family Residential) zoning, initiated by the Cypress Planning Commission. The Mayor declared the Public Hearing open and requested the Staff to present its reports. The City Manager read into the record of the Public Hearing, a report dated December 5, 1968, indicating that the affidavits of posting and publication of the Public Hearing notices on this amendment are on file in the office of the City Clerk and no written communications either in favor of or in opposition to the amendment have been received. The Planning Director read into the record of the Public Hearing a report dated December 5, 1968, presenting the Planning Commission's recon~nendation that any multiple family development in an R-3 or an R-4 zone would be limited to one story height within 100 feet of any R-1 zoned property provided that a conditional use permit could be obtained which would allow the reduction of this rear yard setback if it could be indicated that the privacy of the single family uses immediately adjacent would not be sacrificed. The Planning Director also in- dicated that an urgency ordinance previously had been adopted to provide for this 100 foot setback until a study of this matter had been completed. Following discussion relative to what developments would constitute a multiple family use, the Mayor asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to this amendment. In rasponse to an inquiry from Com%cilman Harvey, the Planning Director re- viewed instances which would not restrict the privacy of a single family residence when located adJacent to a multiple family development and would, therefore, be subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. It was moved by Councilman Noe and seconded by Councilman Kanode that the Public Hearing be closed. Upon the request of Councilman Harvey, Councilman Noe withdrew his motion and Councilman Kanode withdrew his second. Councilmen Harvey indicated that he was concerned with the amount of privacy which is lost to residents in a single family development if multiple family units are constructed adjacent to their properties and stated that he felt the provision of a 100 foot setback requirement between these two uses would pro- vide the single family residents with that degree of privacy to which they are entitled, if the setback is required to the full 100 foot limit. Mayor Bowen felt that in addition to the privacy, the aesthetic value of a neighborhood also should be taken into mnsideration in locating a multiple family development adJacent to a single family development. The privacy of a residential neighborhood through the construction of a two-story apartment building with no windows facing a residential area could be maintained, while the aesthetic value through the loss of open space would be lost. He further indicated that he felt the development of the City has changed in such a manner as to limit the amount of additional multiple family uses to be developed within the City and felt that this may be indicated in the study to be completed by the Goals committee. City Council Minutes December 9, 1968 General discussion was held regarding the imposition of a requirement of a Conditional Use Permit on all multiple family uses, following which Council- man Kanel indicated his desire to require the conditional use permits to re- ceive both Planning Commission and City Council approval, rather than Just Planning Commission approval. The City Manager indicated that this requirement could be ~corporated into the provisions of the Ordinance. There being no written communications and no oral protests, the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed. It was moved by Councilman Noe and seconded by Councilman Kenode to read the following Ordinance by title only. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 0 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Harvey, Kanel, Kanode, Noe and Bowen None None Title of the Ordinance is as follows: ORDINANCE NOo AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS AMENDING THE CYPRESS CITY CODE, SECTIONS 109.5 and 110.5, "BUILDING OR STRUCTURAL HEIGHT LIMITATION", OF ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 90, APPENDIX I TO SUCH CODE, TO INCREASE THE SETBACK FOR ANY TWO STORY STRUCTURE IN THE R-3 AND R-4 ZONES WHEN ABUTTING AN R-1 ZONE. ~t was moved by Councilman Kenode and seconded by Councilman Harvey to adopt the first reading of this Ordinance.

COMMUNICATION FROM CYPRESS PARK AND RECRRATION DISTRICT RE: NAMING OF COMMUNITY PARK: The City Manager reviewed a communication dated November 27, 1968 from Mr/Charles Eo Bryant, Director of the Cypress Park and Recreation District, indicating that the Cypress Park and Recreation District Advisory Board at a meeting held on November 21, 1968, recommended that the name of Evergreen be used for the Community Park on Graham Street. The City Manager indicated that the Park Naming Committee had not included the name of Evergreen on its recommendations for names of community parks. The City Manager suggested that the Council may wish to consider recommending the adoption of the Park Advisory Board's second selection of Oak Knoll, which was among those names suggested by the Park Naming Committee. Councilman Kenode stated that he feels recommendations made by Citizens' Com- mittees should be followed as closely as possible since they do spend time and effort in formulating these recommendations° City Council Minutes December 9, 1968 Following discussion regarding the most appropriate name for the Community Park at Graham Street, it was moved by Councilmn Kanode, seconded by Councilman Noe and unanimously carried to request the Cypress Park and Recreation District Advisory Board to reconsider its action in approving the name of Evergreen for the Community Park on Graham Street and to further request that the Advisory Board make its selection of a name for this park from those names selected by the Citizens' Park Naming Committee.

The rate increase requested by the Pacific Lighting Service and Supply is included in the proposed rate schedule of the Southern Counties Gas Company application, which, if approved, will amount to approximately 35¢ per month for the average customer~ The basic reason for this request is to offset the rate increase being sought by the E1 Paso Natural Gas Company, which is the largest supplier of natural gas to the Sourher California area. I~e City Manager advised that this matter will be set for Public Hearing and will be reviewed in detail by the Staff of the Public Utilities Commission.

General discussion ensued relative to what would be considered ~e abatement of the hazardous nuisance, following which the City Manager reviewed the pro- visions of the City's Nuisance Abatement Ordinance. The City Manager stated that in the Staff's discussions with the property owners, they had seemed to be willing to take whatever action was necessary to abate the nuisances on their properties; however, the extent of abatement was still under discussion° Councilman Kanode indicated his desire to allow the property owners additional time to abate these public nuisances prior to the Council initiating formal proceedings for the abatement. Councilman Harvey concurred in this statement; however, indicated that he felt the Council should give the property owners definite instructions as to what should be done to abate the nuisances. City Council Minutes December 9~ 1968 In response to a question from Councilman Kanode, the City Attorney advised of the facts that would have to be made available in supporting a determina- tion that a specific nuisance exists on a certain parcel and indicated that this evidence would include more than an unsightly condition on a parcel, but would have to include the existence of an attractive nuisance or a hazard to health and property.

Another compli- cating factor is the need for a solution to the service problems which could be encountered in the other cities and County unincorporated areas serviced by Cypress County Water District in the event the City Council were to take positive. action in reference to detachment from or dissolution of the District.
