Resolution No. 4885298
RESOLUTION NO. 4885
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97 -13 - WITH CONDITIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES,
DETERMINES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That an application was filed for a conditional use permit in accordance with the
provisions of Section 17.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to allow the
construction of an 85,219 square foot office /manufacturing /distribution building located at 11240
Warland Drive within the PC -4 Planned Community Business Park Zone.
2. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a public hearing on
said application as provided by law.
3. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the PC -4 Zone in
which the site is located, which is:
(1) Implement the Cypress General Plan with respect to improving the
physical characteristics of the area.
(2) Allow for a well designed business park, which can respond to
changing future market conditions.
(3)
Provide for a physical mix of land uses, including commercial,
within the project area.
(4) Establish a development program through which a quality business
environment may be realized, to further provide a range of
employment opportunities, and to implement a variety of
commercial, office, and industrial land uses.
(5) Realize land uses which are compatible with surrounding uses and
which take advantage of site characteristics
b. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity
in that:
(1) The office /manufacturing /distribution uses are compatible with the
surrounding business park uses and the project is conditioned so as
to not have impacts on neighboring residential areas.
(2) The proposed building is compatible with surrounding business
park development.
(3)
Sufficient access and parking for the building will be provided
onsite.
(d) The proposed building implements in part the previously approved
Warland /Cypress Business Center Specific Plan Project.
5. The proposed building will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance, specifically including the PC -4 Planned Community Business Park Zone.
6. On November 26, 1984, the City Council certified a Final Environmental Impact
Report ( "Specific Plan EIR ") in conjunction with the adoption of the Warland /Cypress Business
Center Specific Plan. The Specific Plan EIR analyzed all potential impacts of development of the
299
Warland /Cypress Business Center including cumulative impacts. The EIR recommended a
variety of mitigation measures which were adopted by the City Council in conjunction with its
adoption of the Specific Plan. This building is within the scope of the project analyzed in the
Specific Plan EIR.
7. On February 8, 1993, the City certified the Cypress General Plan Update EIR in
conjunction with the adoption of the City's 1993 General Plan Update (the "General Plan Update
EIR "). The General Plan Update EIR analyzed the city -wide development of business park uses,
including, but not limited to, land use, noise, air quality, transportation/circulation, and
cumulative impacts previously assumed in the Specific Plan EIR. The EIR recommended a
variety of mitigation measures which were adopted by the City Council in conjunction with its
adoption of the General Plan Update. This building is within the scope of the project analyzed in
the General Plan Update EIR.
8. The zoning designation for the site and the Specific Plan permits the density of
development on the site, which would be permitted by Conditional Use Permit No. 97 -13. There
are no significant impacts upon the environment peculiar to the site which were not addressed as
significant impacts in the Specific Plan EIR or General Plan Update EIR, or which substantial
new information shows would be more significant than described in those previous EIR's.
9. On September 12, 1994, the City Council approved Development Agreement No.
94 -2 vesting Warland Investments Company's right to develop the Warland /Cypress Business
Center Specific Plan. No challenge to the Development Agreement has been filed and the time
for any such challenge has now expired. In accordance with that Development Agreement, the
City has retained the right to process building permits and to undertake design review as specified
in the City's Code. This Conditional Use Permit approval has been processed and approved in
accordance with the Development Agreement.
10. Although the development has been considered using an individual initial
study /environmental checklist; nonetheless, cumulative impacts of this building together with the
impacts of development of other speculative buildings have been addressed in the General Plan
Update EIR and Specific Plan EIR. A separate checklist has been utilized in order to simplify
the process of determining whether there are site specific impacts which are unique to this
building as compared to the impacts previously anticipated in the Specific Plan EIR and the
General Plan Update EIR. Potential cumulative impacts have been adequately considered
because the General Plan Update EIR was predicated on the assumption that all property in the
City would be developed in accordance with the limits of the General Plan.
11. A subsequent environmental impact report is not required pursuant to Public
Resources Code § 21166 in that:
(a) There are no substantial changes proposed for the site which will require
major revisions of the Specific Plan EIR and the General Plan Update EIR;
(b) Since the certification of the previous EIRs, no substantial changes in
circumstances in the project area or in the Specific Plan have occurred
requiring major revisions to the Specific Plan EIR and General Plan
Update EIR; and
(c) No new information of substantial importance has become available since
the certification of the Specific Plan EIR or the General Plan Update EIR
which would require any important change in the analysis in those EIRs or
which shows that the building will have any significant effects not
discussed in those EIRs, that the effects analyzed will be significantly more
severe than those shown in those EIRs or mitigation measures or
alterations previously found not to be feasible and would substantially
reduce significant effects of the project (the Specific Plan).
12. In conjunction with the adoption of this resolution, the City Council is adopting the
policies and mitigation measures attached hereto as Exhibit "A", which will avoid all potential
significant impacts of the building or mitigate them to levels anticipated in the previously certified
EIR's. In some cases, the mitigation measures contained on Exhibit "A" vary slightly from the
300
mitigation measures contained in the Environmental Checklist. Any variance between the
conditions attached hereto in Exhibit "A" and those contained in the negative declaration are
minor in nature and required to insure clarity, ease of enforcement, or avoid duplication.
13. Prior to taking action on this resolution, the City Council reviewed and considered
the Specific Plan, the Specific Plan EIR, the General Plan Update, the General Plan Update EIR,
the Initial Study /Environmental Checklist, the traffic study included in the appendix of the Initial
Study, and the mitigated negative declaration prepared for this approval.
14. The mitigated negative declaration adopted for this approval reflects the
independent judgment of the City Council.
15. Considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed building
will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or on the habitat on which
wildlife depends. Any presumption of an adverse effect on wildlife resources or habitat has been
rebutted through the substantial evidence in the record.
16. The proposed building will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance except for approved variances or adjustments.
c. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Cypress does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 97 -13, subject to the conditions
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

Page 3
adopted through Resolution No. 4276 and Ordinance No. 911 and is applicable to this
proposed project. The fee would be applied in accordance with the adopted City
procedures.
Through participation in the adopted fee program, the project would be providing a "fair
share" contribution toward required traffic impacts. For this particular project, the traffic
impacts are anticipated to be less than previously analyzed; therefore, no additional
mitigation should be required for this project. It should be emphasized that the basis of
the Citywide Fee represents full evaluation of cumulative traffic impacts and the
mitigations related to these potential impacts. (Mitigation Measure No. 11)
*13. The City of Cypress has taken a proactive approach to potential regional impacts of new
development through the adoption of a regional traffic fee. This fee is in addition to the
Cypress Citywide Fee (which addresses local impacts) and would provide proportionate
share funding of impacts to the regional roadway system. The proposed development
would be subject to the regional fee, as well as the local Citywide Fee. Prior to the actual
adoption of the Regional Fee, some intersection counts outside the City limits were
conducted and the associated analyses completed. These analyses are no longer necessary
due to the adoption of the Regional Traffic Fee. (Mitigation Measure No. 12)
*14. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit for approval of City
Building Division, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) specifically identifying
Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used on -site to control predictable
