CONSIDERATION OF REPORT FROM CITY ATTORNEY ON ASSEMBLY BILL
NO. 15: The City Manager presented a report dated May 8
regarding the bill and transmitted a report from the City
Attorney dated May 12 which outlined the affects of proposed
AB 15 on the City of Cypress and recommended that land located
within urbanized areas be excluded from coverage of the bill.
The City Attorney reported that it was his understanding
the author of AB 15 would introduce legislation to exclude
all cities from the bill but the only action by Assemblyman
Warren was to attempt to exclude areas less than 20 acres
from the bill to placate some cities. He stated the author
was trying to avoid amending the bill but was seeking ways
to eliminate cities' concerns without excluding all cities.
He reported that the League of California Cities supported
all cities being excluded and stated it was not premature
for Cypress to adopt a resolution opposing AB 15. The
City Attorney reported he was not certain the bill was
being supported by large land owners but he did feel it had
the support of groups and committee members associated with
environmental concerns.

City Council Minutes May 12, 1975
~ was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded by Council-
woman Sonju and unanimously carried to place this matter
on the agenda.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Council-
woman Sonju to direct a letter to the Anaheim Union High
School District Board of Trustees indicating that this
matter was brought to the Council's attention by a con-
cerned citizen of the community and that the Council
realizes this is not a municipal matter but strongly
objects to this type of material being made available to
the young residents of the community.
Councilman Harvey recommended that the matter be continued
to the next meeting since he felt the Council would
subject itself to criticism by not reading the book. He
felt the Council may then wish to take stronger action.
Councilman Kanel felt the book was designed for shock
value but he did not feel this was the best method of
teaching the affects of drug usage. Councilmen Kanel
and Sonju agreed to continue the matter to the next
meeting but recommended sending the letter since the
Board had frozen the book and asked for community feedback.
The Council directed the City ~anager to send the letter
as recommended and place this matter on the next agenda.

missioner Sheila Ribman had been appointed by the Board

The City Manager presented a report dated ~{ay 8 and a
report from the Planning Director dated April 22. The
Planning Director also transmitted noise contour projec-
tion maps for 1974 and 1990. He reported that the Noise
Element is related to the major transportation noise
sources which are the arterial streets in the City and
that there is only occasional rail noise interference.
He stated the Element points out areas of concern where
more precise sound monitoring studies would be required
if development is to take place. He reported that the
staff had prepared a preliminary noise ordinance which
would enable the City to respond to specific noise com-
plaints since jt provided an average noise level for
a specific neighborhood within the City.
~{r. Scott Turpin, representing Olson Laboratories who
prepared the Noise Element, 421 East Cerritos, Anaheim,
California, reported that the aircraft noise at Los
Alamitos A~r Station did not cause hearing damage since
the noise was intermittent and the exposure period was
not long enough to create measurable hearing damage.
Councilman Kanel asked if the consultant was given a copy
of the noise study prepared for the Air Station by the
Army Department in 1973 and how this report affected the
20 acre triangular property. The Planning Director stated
that the EIR report prepared for the reactivation of heli-
copter operations at their current level of operations

CONSIDERATION OF A NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING OF THE
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION TO ADOPT AN AIRPORT ENVIRONS
LAND USE PLAN AT LOS ALAMITOS NAVAL AIR STATION: The
City Manager presented a report dated May 8 which indicated
the Airport Land Use Commission had under consideration
three alternate plans for the Los Alamitos Naval Air
Station airport environs land use plan. The three plans
included flight activities that currently exist at the
Air Station, flight activities that would exist at the
Station if operated with the same aircraft now utilizing
Orange County Airport, and flight activities similar to
those currently being conducted at the Fullerton Airport.
The May 15 hearing will be based on the noise contours
which re]ate to the existing air activities at the Air
Station, utilizing 60 and 65 CNEL noise impact zones.
The City Manager further advised that no crash zones will
be considered since it has been determined that the
crash areas are confined to the land within the boundaries
of the Naval Air Station.
Councilman Harvey inquired as to what impact these proposed
noise zones would have upon the 20 acre triangular piece
of property located in the County area north of Katella.
The City Manager reported that the property would not be
impacted by the noise since it is located outside the
60 and 65 CNEL zones. He further stated that the Airport
Land Use Commission's original concern regarding the
noise impact on this property was based on the 1963 noise
study which the Navy had conducted at the height of the
air activities at the Station which included jet aircraft.
The staff pointed out that the other two alternate plans
had no more impact on the environment than the contours
for the current operations and their areas did not extend
beyond the boundaries of the plan to be considered which
was determined to be the most comprehensive. The staff
indicated that their planning recommendations for deve].-
opment of the Harvey and 20 acre property were based on
these contours and information presented in the 1973 EIR
report prepared by the Army Department.
It was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Council-
woman Sonju to send staff representation to the May 15
Airport Land Use Commission hearing to speak in support
of the comprehensive environs land use plan under consid-
eration for adoption by the Commission.

the Station was developing a land use plan which would
not be an expansion of the zones developed by the Airport
Land Use Commission but would cover future operations and
be based on 'the 1963 sound studies. He indicated the
Station would be willing to make a presentation to the
Council on this plan.
