The report further indicated that the City has received a communication dated August 4, 1970, from Mr. Donald Hunt, President, Hunt Enterprises, 17411 Cretehaw Blvd., Torrents, requesting that any previous property protest filed on the 8~8 acre Bebereia property, within the annexation area, be withdrawn° The report stated that Mr, Hunt has also submitted a written, recorded agreement to buy the property, which fulfills the legal requirements, and indicates in his letter that his company wishes the property to be annexed to the City~ The report indicated that an analysis of the original petition of protest reveals that there were protests in the amount of $156,380, which would have been sufficient to terminate further proceedings; hcwever, the assessed value of theBebereia property, which was included in the protest petition, but is no longer valid, is $51,160. With this protest removed, the totalwritten property protest is $105,220, which is insufficient to terminate further proceedings.

He urged that all of the people in the annexation area talk with one another, and seriously consider the reasons for the annexation to the City of Cypress. Councilman Roberrs explained that the City Council wished to let the people decide whether or not they would like to be a part of the City~ Mayor Kanal stated that he could understand the personal feelings of Mro Sheets and Mr~ Thomas, relative to this particular situation ~ Me stated that he must look at the fact which has been presented, which ie that the record shows a majority protest has not been filed~ He indicated that he was previously somewhat in opposition as it appeared there was a majority protest; however, it is now evident that a majority protest has not been filed, therefore, he will reluctantly be voting in favor of the matter.

The Mayor announced that the Public Hearing was open, and requested the Staff to present its report. The City Manager reviewed a report dated August 5, 1970, which indicated that the City Council at its regular meeting of July 13, 1970, continued the Public Hearing to consider an application to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 90 to change the zone of a certain parcel of land from C-2 (General Commercial) to R-3 (Multiple-family Residential) on property generally located on the west side of Holder Street, north of Ball Road, requested by Creative Environment, Inc., 2110 E. Katella, Ariahelm, California (for Frank J. Hansman and James J. Fuchik, property owners). The report indicated that the notice of continuation of the Public Hearing has been posted, and that no additional conmunications regarding this matter have been received by the office of the City Clerk. The Planning Director than presented Planning Staff Report PC#70-44, dated May 12, 1970, which described in detail the property in question and the surrounding area. The report indicated that the proposed zone change would act as a transitional use between the commercial activities fronting on Ball Road and the low density residential neighborhoods to the north. In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director stated that the Planning Commission felt that an R-3 zone would be the most con~atible use for the particular area. In response to an inquiry from Councilmen Roberrs, the City Manager read a portion of the zoning ordinance pertaining to height and distance restrictions of a development in an R-3 zone. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberts, the Planning Director stated that all residents within a 300' radius of the subject property had been notified of the Public Hearing on this matter. In answer to a question from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director explained why he did not consider an R-2 or an R-i zone to be the best use for the property. Mr. 0. W. Norris, Creative Environment, Inc., addressed the Council stating that he considered the request for the zone change to be in accordance with the General Plan of the City. He indicated that should the zone change be approved that it would be the plan of his organization to obtain a Building Permit in order to develop an apartment complex, which would have parking around the perimeter, with two rows of garages on the north side and a driveway between them. He stated that the closest boundary to residential property would be 140 feet, and that a block wall or screening device would be used. Mrs. David Ginns, 4573 Rainier Drive, Cypress, stated that the City might wish to consider another use for the subject property, such as a recreational area. It was moved by Councilman Roberts and seconded by Councilmen Kanode to close the Public Hearing. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 4 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 0 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 1 COUNCILMAN: Harvey, Kanode, Roberts and Kanel None Lacayo -8- City Council Minutes August 10, 1970 In answer to a question from Co~mcilman Roberts, the applicant stated that the preliminary plan relative to parking spaces is based on 2 spaces per unit, which, he stated, would be adequate to accommodate visitor parking. Mayor Kanel stated that he would be opposed to this particular zone change, and indicated that the property could be used for commercial purposes. Councilman Harvey stated that when this matter was first brought to the attention of the Council, he was in favor of the zone change due to the fact that he felt that it was a logical change with the channel as a buffer and being adjacent to C-2 and R-3; however, since that time, he has spent considerable time examining the area, and indicated that he felt that the parking on Juanita Street has become a problem as a result of the multiple-unit developmant currently in the neighborhood, and further expressed concern that an apartment unit in that particular location may attract an undesirable element of persons. Councilmsm Harvey stated that he would prefer low density rather than multiple- unit in this case. In answer to a question from Councilman Roberts, the City Attorney stated that there is a six month limitation on the filing of a new application on the sarfe property for the same purpose; however, an application for a different zone classification may be filed immediately. He further advised that the City Council does have an obligation to act within 40 days of the time that the Public Hearing proceedings were initiated; however, should the Council desire to continue the matter, the extension beyond the 40 day period would allow the applicant the prerogative of filing a statement to the effect that he considered the inaction to be a denial of the application. Councilman Kanode indicated that he did not consider this property to be in the best commercial location within the conmunity as it is not on a main thoroughfare; however, he further indicated that there is very little commercial property within the community, and would be somewhat reluctant to act in favor of the zone change. Councilman Roberts stated that he would be in favor of continuing the matter in order to allow the applicant time to consider the opinions expressed by the Council this evening. It was moved by Councilman Roberrs, seconded by Councilman Kanode and unanimously carried to reopen the Public Hearing at this time. It was moved by Councilman Roberts, seconded by Councilman Kanode and unanimously carried to continue this matter to the City Council meeting scheduled for September 14, 1970.

Oliver, for a Special Permit. The report stated that the affidavits of publication and posting of the Public Hearing notices on this matter are on file in the office of the City Clerk. The applicant, Mr. James Oliver, 12003 Singleton Drive, La Mirada, California, addressed the Council stating that the students use what money they receive to further their education. -9 - City Council Minutes August 10, 1970 In response roan inquiry from Mayor Kanel, Mr. 0liver indicated that he would receive a commission from the solicitation. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Roberrs, the City Manager indicated that the main objection contained in the report from the Chief of Police is the fact that there is personal profit involved which is in conflict with the past Council policy, where permits of this nature have been issued only to non- profit organizations.

Mayor Kanel indicated that there are organizations within the City which will be wanting to paint numbers on curbs° It was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Councilman Karlode to deny the request for a Special Permit to Student Home Specialties based on a determination that the operation of the business would not comport with the peace, health, safety, convenience, good morals, and general welfare of the public.

The report stated that this action was taken following a presentation which was made by Mr. Lee Goldin representing the Larwin Coupany as the developer of the subject tract, which questioned the traffic safety features of the new curb design and restrictions which the curb design would place on the flow of traffic on Orange Avenue. The report then outlined the chronological history of the improvement requirements for the subject tract and the recommandatior provided by the Townscape and Urban Design consultants. The report further indicat~ that the Planning Department contacted Mr, S~eve Street, City Manager for the City of Rosemead, in reference to traffic problems created by the construction of parkway projections into the parking lane on Valley Blvd. in the City of Rosemead, and was informed that there had been no traffic problems in the three years that the projections have been in existence~ The Plannin~ Director then presented slides showing the scalloped curb design treatment in other cormnunities and a diagram showing the proposed curb design for Orange Avenue. The Planning Director explained that this treatment along Orange Avenue would be a method of implementing the Townscape Plan on a small scale, He stated that at 8ome future date, should the City deterxmtne that it is a desirable design, other sections of Orange Avenue could be installed using the concept. In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, the Planning Director indicated that maintenets of the curbing would come under the City's maintenance program. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Robarts, the Planning Director stated that the treatment could be applied to both sides of the street in the distant future, should it be desirable. Mr~ Lee Goldin, Vice-President of the Larwin Company, 9300 Wllshire Blvd., Beverly Hill~ California, addressed the Council stating that the proposed curb, in his opinion, is a potential hazard, as Orange Avenue is a relatively heavily used street. Mr. Goldin suggested that am experiment of this nature should be done on a temporary basis at another location. Mr. Goldin indicated that the - 15 - City Council Minutes August 10, lg70""' "'~ plans for constructing the scalloped curb are complete, and that in fact, it would be more of an expense to his company to ~ back and start over than to ~o ahead with the scalloped treatment. He then requested that his company be granted a waiver of liability for any injuries which might be caused by the public improvements. Mr. Goldin indicated that his company gave its consent for landscape improvements on the street; however, the engineers did not have any knowledge of the different treatment other than it was to be an improved street with additional planting, irrigation, etco In responeeto an inquiry from Mayor Kanel, the City Manager indicated that there was an awareness that there would be different treatment of this portion of Orange Avenue in conjunction with the Townscape Program; however, there probably was a question as to when the precise development plan was presented and agreed upon between the engineering division and the developer. Following discussion relative to the safety of the curbing, and the possible difficulties one might have in parking at such a curb, it was moved by Councilman Rober~s and seconded by Counci!ma~Kanodeto receive and file the report dated August 6, 1970, which will allow the street improvements to be installed as required on landscape and improvement plans on Tract 6839. Councilman Kenode stated that the City of Cypress, does at times, try various schemes that do not always work, and felt that there was some question as to the safetyZ however, until the City has some experience with something of this nature, it would be difficult to ascertain the true value. Councilman Harvey stated that the City has had a history of being innovative; however, he felt that Orange Avenue does carry a considerable amount of traffic which may increase, and that although it is a relatively short distance, he would have reservations concerning this matter, and would be inclined to vote in opposition to it at this time. In answer to a question from Councilmam~ Kenode, Mr. Goldin indicated that the LaYwin Company is ready to construct the improvementsZ however, felt that the implementation of this portion of the Townscape Program was premature since Public Hearings on the program are still being held. Councilman Roberrs explained that should the proposed curb treatment fail for some reason, the curb would be changed back to a standard curb at expenseto the City, and, he further indicated that he felt that if the City did not make this kind of experiment at the present time, =hat it would not be done in the future with any degree of ease or obJectivity.
