City Council Minutes
March 24, 1969
Mr~ Winston MacDonald, representsting Dro Robert .MacDonald, 5185 Ball Road,
Cypress, addressed the Council advising that,arrangements have been made for
the weeds to be removed from 6130 Orange A~enue, Assessor's Parcel No.
134-143-18 and inquiring as to whether it would still be necessary to post a
bond guaranteeing the completion of this abatement work.
It was generally agreed that if a valid contract was presented to the Public
Works Departmentindicating that the weed abatement work wouldbe completed,
the weed abatement contractor would be requested to defer cleaning of this lot
for a 10-day period°
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the City Attorney advised
that the premium for the bond is usually 1% of the face value of the bond.
In answer to a question from Councilman Kanel, the City Manager advised that the
City Public Works Inspector accompanies the Weed .Abatement contractor on the
cleaning operations and that the property is inspected and photographed prior to
abatement proceedings,
Mrs~ Hendricks, 6941 Elm Avenue, Cypress,addressed the Council requesting that
she be advised as to what abatement work is required on her property. She in-
dicated that her lawn had grown considerably during the rains, but that it had
been cut and was in good condition at this time°
The City Manager explained the procedures followed in posting of properties
for the weed abatement program°
Mrs. Hendricks then indicated her dissatisfaction with the services provided
by the Street Sweeper, objecting specifically to the piles of rubbish which
are deposited by the street sweeping machine's rollers and brushes while turn-
ing in front of her home~
The City Manager advised that this matter would be investigated by the City
Staff~
Mrl. Charles Pahland, 4742 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, California, addressed the
Council, indicating that he had received a post card notifying him of the weed
abatement proceedings and that the post card did not indicate any date upon
whi ch the work should be completed.
The City Manager advised that the date given on the post card is the public
hearing date and that this is the critical date since the contractor would
conmmnce his cleaning operations following the date of the public hearing.
In response to a question from Mr~ Pahland regarding the period during which
the Weed Abatement Progrin is being conducted, the City Manager explained
that the Program was initiated earlier than in previous years so as to provide
an opportunity to correct the recurring weed problems which occur during the
early summer months and to further provide sufficient time to forward the
tax assessments for the weed abatement work to the County Tax Assessor°
Mro Pabland then indicated that his tenant on the property will be clearing
whatever he feels is necessary, but that as far as weeds are concerned, there
are little or no weeds on the property°
The City Manager indicated that while a problem may exist when inspected by
the weed abatement contractor, many times the problem has been corrected by
the time abatement proceedings have commenced°
In answer to an inquiry from Mro Pahland, the City Manager indicated that
March 25, 1969 would be the deadline for abatement proceedings. He further
indicated that, if Mro Pahland desired to complete the weed abatement operations,
he could contact the Public Works Department to determine when the weed abate-
ment contractor would beentering onto his property° The City Manager further
advised that since Mro Pahland had indicated that he could not determine
whether a problem existed on his property, known as Assessor's Parcel No.
244-051-14, the Public Works Inspector would inspect this parcel carefully
prior to proceeding with any abatement proceedings.

Mro Pahland then requested that a representative from the Public Works Depart-
ment accompany him on an inspection of his p~operty to determine what~ if any,

PUBLIC HEARING RE: ZONE CHANGE NO. Z-177 (CYPRESS PLANNING COMMISSION): The Mayor
announced this was the time and place for the Public Hearing to consider an
application for amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 90 to change the zone of a
certain parcel of land located on the southwest comer of Cerritos Avenue and
Knott Avenue, from C-1 (Neighborhood Stores) to C-O (Co~mmercial Office), initiated
by the Cypress Planning Commission and known as Zone Change No. Z-177.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open and requested the Staff to present
its reportso
The City Manager read into the record of the Public Rearing a report dated
March 18, 1969 indicating that the affidavits of posting, publication and
mailing of the public hearing notices on this zone change are on file in the
office of the City Clerk and no written communications either in favor ofor
in opposition to the proposed change of zone have been received at this time.
City Council Minutes
March 24, 1969
The Planning Director read into the record of the public hearing a report dated
March 20, 1969 outlining the extent of the p~opoaad sons change and presenting
the Planning Commission'S recommendation of approval.
The Mayor asked if anyone in the audiencewished to speak in favor of or in
opposition to the proposed change of zone.
Mr~ Dale Lewis, 5412 Santa Catalina Avenue, Gardem Grove, California, addressed
the Council, representing Shell Oil Company, imdicating that although Shell Oil
Company does not anticipate placing aservice station on the subject property,
it does feel that a change of zone as contemplated would effect an economic hard-
ship on Shell Oil Company since the C-O zoning is more restrictive. He further
indicated that it is felt that the C-1 zoning classification is the best use for
this property since C-O uses are allowed also in the C-1 zone.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Bowen, Mr. Lewis indicated that Shell Oil
Company generally does not sell their properties to other oil companies for ser-
vice station development.
In response to a question from Councilman Kanel, the Planning Director reviewed
the difference in the requirements of the C~i and C-O zones stating that the C-1
zone does permit C-O uses; however, the development standards under a C-O zone
are more restrictive. An example of this is. that the C-O zone allows building
heights of only one story, whereas, the C-1 zone allows two story structures.
General discussion was held relative to development of the subject property.
In answer to a question from Councilman Kanel, the Planning Director indicated
that the zoning of this property had been ree~udied in response to a question
from the City Council relative to determining the highest and best use of this
property.
Councilman Kanel indicated that since the property has been zoned for C-1 uses
for a number of years and has not been successful in this use, he would wish to
see how successful C-O zoning would be in. this area. He further indicated that
he did not feel this would impose an economic hardship on the property owner.
Mro Lewis indicated that since purchased by Shell Oil Company, the property has
not experienced any appreciation tnzvalua. Ha. further indicated that C-O zoning
would make the property more difficult to sell.
The City Attorney reviewed the factors which the Council is to take into consi-
deration in determining the zoning of a parcel of land and indicated that
discussions relative to the imposition of financial or economic hardships on
the sale of the property are not relevant to whether C-1 or C-O zoning is the
highest and best use of the property.
There being no written communications and no further oral protests, the Mayor
declared the Public Hearing closed.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Mayor Bowen to read the
following Ordinance by title only, title as follows:
ORDINANCE NO.

City CounCil Minutes
March 24, 1969
Prior to voting on this matter, Councilman Harvey stated that he hoped that this
action was not a trend on the part of the Council _to change the zoning of a parcel
of props rty just for the sake of change. He further stated .thatto.change the
zone to a mere restrictive C-O zoning would.increase the problem of development
in this area and that the Council should.~akel.into consideration the depreciation
of the land. He further stated that for these reasons, he would be opposed to
Qhan in the zone to C-O. He further stated that since the C-O uses are permitted
· n t~e 8-1 Zone, e could see no reason for a change of zone to C-O. h
Councilman Kanode stated that he felt the subJ cut parcel as well as other
similarly located parcels throughout the City would not develop as C-O uses; and
for this reason, he would be opposed to a change of zone to C-O.
Councilman Noe concurred in the statements of both Councilmen Harvey m~d Kenode,

PUBLIC WRARING RE: CREATION OF C-C (CIVIC CENTER)8VERLAY ZONE ADJACENT TO CYPRESS
JUNIOR COLLEGE: The Mayor announced this wastbedtime and place for the Public
Hearing to consider creating a C-C (Civic Center) Overlay zone ~in areas adjacent
to and in the vicinity of the Cypress Junior COllege which are presently zoned for
commercial and/or for multiple-family residential uses, initiated by the Cypress
Planning Comanission.
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 March
18, 1969 indicating that the affidavits of publication, posting and mailing of
the public hearing notices on this matter are on file in the office of the City
Clerk and that no written con~nunications either in favor of or in opposition to
the creation of this overlay zone have been received.
The Planning Director then read into the record of the public hearing a report
dated March 20, 1969 outlining the extent of the overlay zone and explaining
the effect of this overlay zone on the surrounding properties.
The Mayor asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of this
Zone Change.
Mr. Winston MacDonald, representing Dr. Robert F. MacDonald, 6151 Orange Avenue,
Cypress, addressed the Council indicating that Dr. MacDonald has not developed
his parcel of property on Orange Avenue as he had anticipated; and stating that
Dr. MacDonald would wish to build a medical center on this parcel.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr. MacDonald relative to the effect the C-C
Overlay zone would have on his property, the Mayor explained that the only
effect would be the requirement that he obtain a conditional use permit to
allow the Planning ConmLission to exercise architectural controls on the structures-

City Council Minutes
March 24t 1969
Mrs° Wanda Owens, 9402 Holder Street, Cypreas,i addressed the Council inquiring
if this Overlay zone would require the~property._owner tO maintain a 100 foot
setback for two. story structures constructed adjacent to residential develop-
ments.
The City Manager and Planning Director indicated that this action had previously
been taken by the City Council and was not the.subject of the present public
hearing. They further reviewed the provisions.of the Ordinance adopted by
the Council which imposed the 100 foot setback requirement for two story structures,
The Mayor asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in opposition to the
creation of this overlay zone.
Mr. Mark L~ Wright, 6182 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, addressed the Council speaking
in opposition to the creation of a C-C overlay zone on his property since the
added procedures required in processing a conditional use permit through the City
would discourage any prospective purchasers and developers of his property.
The Mayor explained that the conditional use permit would only require a public
hearing before the Planning Comm{ssion and would not go before the City Council
unless appealed.
In response to questions from Mr. Wright, the Planning Director outlined the ex-
tent to which architectural controls would be imposed on the construction of a
building and further outlined the purpose of imposing these architectural require-
ments~
Councilman Harvey stated that although he sympathizes with Mr. Wright's feelings
relative to additional delays in the transfer of his property, he is cognizant
of the fact that a conditional use permit can be processed through the Planning
Commission within 30 days and he does not feel this is an unreasonable amount of
time since it usually takes escrow longer than 30 days to close.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the City Attorney explained
the criteria followed by the City Architectural Control Committee in imposing
architectural requirements on buildings.
General discussion ensued concerning the authority of the Architectural Control
Committee and Councilmen Kanel and Kenode indicated that the Council would assure
that the Committee would not be too stringent in imposing architectural controls.
Councilman Nee indicated that it does appear to property owners that there
are many restrictions on development and that they have to go through many
procedures to develop their properties. He further expressed a desire to
know the opinions of the other property owners in the area relative to this
zone° He also stated that the City does have to exercise some controls, but
that he would concur with Councilmen Kanel and Kenode in that the extent of
the controls exercised should be watched closely by the Council.
There being no written cOn~nunications and no further oral protests, the Mayor
declared the public hearing closed.
It was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Councilman Kenode to read
the following Ordinance by title only. The motion was unanimously carried

ing a recommendation from the Orange CountyLFlood Control District to provide
a rectangular channel for the 2-A-3 Storm Drain Channel rather than an open
trapezoidal channel. The report further indicated that in order to proceed with
this suggestion, it would be necessary to prepare an additional set of plans
and specifications which, according tothe consulting engineer for this project,
could be completed at a cost not to exceed $10,000.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Bowen, the Public Works Director outlined
the data which would have to be included in the new set of plans and specifica-
tions to include the rectangular section as an alternate bid.
General discussion ensued relative to the increased costs which would be
incurred by including the rectangular section as an alternate bid for this
storm drain channel.
The City Manager indicated that the City Council should give serious considera-
tion to the Flood Control District's recon~nendation since the District is
sharing in the construction costs of the project and has agreed to assume the
maintenance responsibility for the facility upon its completion.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Noe and seconded by Councilman
Kenode to authorize the City Manager and Public Works Director to instruct the
firm of Voorheis-Trindle-Nelson, Inc. as engineering consultants for this Project,
