The regular meeting of the Cypress Planning Commission was

the Cypress City Council Chambers, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress,
California, Vice Chairman Gerald Mullen presiding.
PRESENT:
ABSENT:
Commissioners Greenwood, Mullen, Van Allen
and Walsh
Chairman Hart
Also present were Planning Director Brian Hawley, Public Works
Director Art Schatzeder, Building Superintendent Ray Warren
and Business License /Zoning Inspector Sandy Pegueros.
At the Planning Director's request, Commissioner Mullen added
the following matters to the agenda:
Item #8, review of revised plot plan, Conditional Use
Permit #76 -1, southeasterly corner of Lincoln and Denni;
Item #9, consideration of request for outdoor display
of merchandise, Triple T Furniture, 5262 Lincoln Avenue;
Item #10, consideration of minutes of March 18, 1976.
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS:
1. Sign Review, Zip'z Ice Cream, 10033 Valley View.
The Planning Director reported that the owners of Zip'z Ice
Cream had changed the direction of the pulsating interior
lights near the entrance to the store which faces one of the
main aisles of the shopping center. The lights are now
directed downward. He stated staff has no objections to the
lighting.
Commissioner Mullen stated he visited the site and that his
objections to the potential traffic hazard and unreasonable
attraction of attention created by the lights have been over-
come with the change in direction of the lighting.
It was moved by Commissioner Van Allen, seconded by Commis-
sioner Walsh and unanimously carried to receive and file the
report.
2. Discussion regarding Plankhouse trash enclosure fence
height and location of lights.
The Planning Director summarized a memorandum dated March 18
from the Building Superintendent regarding lighting of the
trash area at the Plankhouse Restaurant. The Building Super-
intendent reported the fencing around the enclosure is eight
feet above sidewalk level and the trash containers cannot be
seen unless the lids are open. The two lights attached to the
building are about nine feet above grade. He reported the
trash area was neat and clean at the time of his two inspections.
The Commissioners voiced their objections to the overly bright
lighting of the trash area which is visible from the street
and directed the Planning Director to contact the Plankhouse
Restaurant and suggest that the lights be lowered below eye
level of the street or that they be put on a manual switch
and turned on only when needed.
Planning Commission Minutes April 15, 1976
3. Discussion of City street sweeping policies.
General discussion was held regarding street sweeping problems
created by on- street parking. The Public Works Director
reported that he recommended a parking prohibition on street
sweeping days to the City Council during a budget meeting but
the Council was not very receptive. The signing program would
cost about $9,000 or $10,000. He reported that the Traffic
Commission recommended to the Council that an overnight parking
ban ordinance be drafted and placed on a regular election ballot
for a vote by the residents. This matter is still being
studied by the staff. Commissioner Greenwood supported the
signing program and parking prohibition on street sweeping
days. He reported that during the recent election, about 100
of the persons he spoke with had complaints about the present
sweeping policy. Commissioner Mullen stated he preferred a
less effective sweeping program in favor of less restrictive
parking. The Commissioners asked that their comments be
transmitted to the Traffic Commission.
4. Discussion regarding time of Planning Commission meetings.
Discussion was held regarding a change in the starting time
of Commission meetings and Commissioner Greenwood suggested
that the Commission may wish to follow the Council's policy
of not having an afternoon session. He stated several Com-
missioners_ who must drive a long distance may have difficulty
getting to the afternoon meetings. Commissioners Walsh and
Van Allen had no objections to starting at a later time.
The Commission agreed to adopt a resolution changing the
starting time of Commission meetings to 6:00 p.m. and to adopt
the following schedule: consider administrative matters from
6 to 7:30 p.m. and schedule public hearings for 7:30 p.m.
5. Discussion regarding the practice of presenting com-
mendations to local businesses.
Commissioner Greenwood supported a continuance of the policy
of presenting a commendation to outstanding businesses within
the community. Commissioner Mullen objected to a compulsory
commendation on a regular basis and felt an award should be
made on the basis that a business is truly deserving of recog-
nition. He recommended that the policy be left open but that
any individual in the community, the Chamber of Commerce or
a Planning Commissioner may nominate a business for commenda-
tion. Commissioner Van Allen agreed that the award should
not be made on a compulsory basis at regular intervals and
that persons other than the Commissioners may suggest nominees.
The Commission agreed to continue the practice of commending
outstanding businesses without a regular schedule and that
nominations are welcome from the Chamber of Commerce or
individuals in the community.
6. Review of revised plot plan, Conditional Use Permit
#76 -1, southeasterly corner of Lincoln Avenue and Denni.
The Planning Director reported that the City Council scheduled
a hearing April 12 to consider the appeal of C.U.P. #76 -1 and
that the applicant submitted a revised plot plan to the City
Council. The City Council continued the hearing to April 26
and referred the revised plot plan to the Planning Commission
for their review and approval. He described the revised plot
plan. The building was relocated to the south and east property
lines, eliminating the southerly alley. The front setback
and parking area was increased by about 20 feet. One trash
storage area will be at the northeast corner of the building
and a second, on the west side of the building, will be
enclosed with a slumpstone wall. The slumpstone building
will have a Monterey tile, mansard -type roof.
2.
Planning Commission Minutes April 15, 1976
Mr. William Landis, representing the applicant, Planned
Development Corporation, 1180 S. Beverly, Los Angeles,
stated they incorporated the suggestions of the Planning
Commission into the revised plot plan. They felt elimination
of the rear alley will prevent problems with children and
the area from becoming a trash collector. Relocation of the
building provides 20 additional feet of setback from Lincoln.
He stated the wall around the trash area adjacent to Denni
will be slumpstone and will be eight feet high and will look
like a side of the building.
Mr. Lewis Morgen, also representing the applicant, stated
they tried to answer the Commission's concerns which were
expressed at the March 4 meeting with the revised plot plan.
He felt the Commission's comments were valid and that the
revised plan was the result of trying to correct their
objections.
It was moved by Commissioner Greenwood, seconded by Commis-
sioner Mullen and unanimously carried to recommend to the
City Council approval of the revised plot plan for Conditional
Use Permit #76 -1 subject to the conditions recommended by the
staff and the findings contained in Section 17.2 -3 of the
Zoning Ordinance and recommend to the Council that if they
wish to approve the conditional use permit that it be based
on the revised plot plan.
7. Consideration of request for outdoor display of merchan-
dise, Triple T Furniture, 5262 Lincoln Avenue.
The Planning Director reported that the City Council on April
12 approved a special permit for Mr. Terry Gideon to operate
a used furniture and appliance store at 5262 Lincoln Avenue
but referred the applicant's request for outdoor display to
the Planning Commission for review and approval.
Mr. Terry Gideon, 5262 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, the applicant,
stated he needed the outdoor display because his building is
set back 60 feet from the street. He stated new and clean
merchandise would be displayed during business hours in an
area 10' by 20'. He felt outdoor displays were permitted
since the previous furniture store at this location displayed
furniture outside.
Commissioner Mullen felt this request was different from the
furniture store's request since the furniture store had displayed
only two pieces of furniture which were new and the display was
for a temporary, six month period. Commissioner Greenwood
stated the previous request was for a temporary period and
he did not support the outdoor display of furniture in this
case.
Mr. Gideon reported he could utilize a furniture dolley
which would prevent a cluttered appearance and he asked the
Commission to consider granting the request on a temporary
basis for 30 or 60 days. He felt the success of his business
depended on outdoor display and if it was not approved
he would be forced to relocate the business. Mr. Gideon
reported he had plans to open an auction house on the adjacent
parcel.
Commissioner Van Allen stated he disapproved of the outdoor
display by the previous furniture store and that he did not
support this request. He felt if outdoor display was a real
asset the furniture store would still be in business.
Commissioner Walsh felt it was unfair that the property owner
is misleading tenants by implying that outdoor displays are
permitted and she supported the display on a trial basis.
3.
Planning Commission Minutes April 15, 1976
Commissioner Walsh moved to approve the request for outdoor
display of merchandise for Triple T Furniture and Appliance
for a period of 30 days. The motion died for lack of a second.
It was moved by Commissioner Mullen, seconded by Commissioner
Van Allen and carried, with Commissioner Greenwood abstaining
and Commissioner Walsh voting no, to deny the request by
Mr. Gerry Gideon, Triple T Furniture and Appliance, for out-
door displays.
8. Consideration of request for amendment to approved
development plan, Midwood Manor, northeast corner of
Cerritos and Bloomfield.
Commissioner Mullen stated he visited the site and felt there
was a real need for additional parking in the tract. He felt
parking should be permitted in the corner paved area but that
the repair of automobiles should be prohibited. He recommended
that the wheel stops on the east side of the lot be moved further
back and that thick shrubs be planted as a buffer for the homes
to the north and east.
Commissioner Greenwood felt there was a definite need for additional
parking but he objected to car repairs in this area. He felt there
was an invasion of privacy for the residents to the north and
east since the wall is only 4'9 ".
The Planning Director reported that any sounds are magnified
in this area since it is surrounded by buildings which create
a canyon effect and he stated landscaping does not effectively
muffle sound.
Commissioner Greenwood felt the Midwood Manor Homeowners'
Association did not present any plans on how parking in this
area could be compatible with the adjacent residences and he
felt the Homeowners' Association should work out a solution
with those residents.
It was moved by Commissioner Van Allen, seconded by Commis-
sioner Walsh and carried, with Commissioner Mullen voting no,
to deny without prejudice the request by Midwood Manor Home-
owners' Association for an amendment to the approved develop-
ment plan.
Mr. Ed Powell, 10401 Santa Elise, Cypress, a homeowner who
abuts the paved area, stated he felt the lot should be closed
off to vehicles and he did not feel raising the wall or addi-
tional landscaping would solve the noise problem.
9. Request for Zoning Ordinance interpretation re: orna-
mental iron works shop in the CH- 10,000 Zone.
The Planning Director reported the applicant was not present
for this matter and the Commission continued the item to the
next regular meeting.
RECESS: Commissioner Mullen recessed the meeting at 6:40 p.m.
until 7:30 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Hart called the meeting back to order
at 7:45 p.m. with the following Commissioners in attendance:

Mullen and unanimously carried to approve the March 18 minutes.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Chairman Hart asked if anyone wished to

PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN NO. 76 -2:
Chairman Hart announced that this was the time and place for
the public hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the
Land Use Element of the Cypress General Plan to change the
designation of the properties along Acacia Drive southerly
of Crescent Avenue from the current high density residential
designation to a low density, single family residential
classification. He asked that the staff present its report.
The Planning Director presented Staff Report PC #76 -11 dated
April 9 which indicated the application was initiated by the
City Council on March 22 in conjunction with their approval
of Zone Change #76 -1 which reclassifies the subject property
from the RM -20 /A Multiple Family Residential Zone to the
RS- 15,000 Single Family Residential Zone. The subject property
consists of 28 lots each averaging 30,000 square feet.
Chairman Hart declared the hearing open and asked if anyone
wished to speak in favor.
The following persons spoke in favor of General Plan Amend-
ment #76 -2:
Mr. Larry Wuebker, 8661 Acacia Drive, Cypress
Mr. Gene Vaughn, 8582 Acacia Drive, Cypress
Mrs. Mary van den Raadt, 8644 Acacia Drive, Cypress
Chairman Hart asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
Mr. Everett Weerheim, 8541 Acacia Drive, Cypress, asked if
a second hearing would be held on this matter before the
City Council. Regarding the petition submitted to the City
Council in support of the zone change, Mr. Weerheim stated
one of the signatures is incorrect and should be removed from
the petition.
No one else wished to speak and Chairman Hart closed the hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Mullen and seconded by Commis-
sioner Walsh to approve Amendment to the General Plan No. 76 -2.
The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES:
NOES:

5 COMMISSIONERS: Greenwood, Mullen, Van Allen,
Walsh and Hart

PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 76 -1:
Chairman Hart announced that this was the time and place for
the public hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to consider possible
amendments to the permitted and conditional uses and to the
standards of development currently authorized in the RS- 15,000
Residential Single Family Zone. He asked for the staff report.
The Planning Director summarized Staff Report PC #76 -12 dated
April 9 which indicated that, in conjunction with the approval
5.
Planning Commission Minutes April 15, 1976
of Zone Change #76 -1 for Acacia Drive, the City Council requested
that the Planning Commission study the current development
standards and regulations for uses in the RS- 15,000 Zone
particularly those relating to the keeping of horses and other
animals and commercial activities. The staff proposed several
amendments to the zoning regulations to better regulate agri-
cultural -type uses in this zone. The Planning Director reported
no oral or written communications were received regarding the
proposed amendments.
Commissioner Mullen asked if the amendments would remove
existing uses on the property which are non - conforming. The
Planning Director reported that the zone change will bring
some of the agricultural - related uses into conformance with
the Zoning Ordinance, with or without the proposed amendments.
Commissioner Mullen recommended that the word "such" be
inserted before "animals" in items #2 b - d.
Chairman Hart inquired about Item #1 which recommended that
all types of agricultural and horticultural uses be permitted
and that the sale of products be permitted subject to the
granting of a conditional use permit. Commissioner Van Allen
recommended that Item #1 be divided into la and lb to cover
the two separate activities.
Chairman Hart inqui .red if anyone wished to speak in favor.
No one wished to speak in favor. He asked if anyone wished
to speak in opposition.
Mr. Everett Weerheim, 8541 Acacia Drive, Cypress, reported
that he complied with a City ordinance adopted in 1961 which
required him to liquidate his chicken ranch. He felt the
intent of this ordinance was to eliminate all types of animal
operations in the City. He reported that several of the
former chicken ranches on Acacia had reverted to horse stables
and he felt it was unfair that he was forced out of business
when other horse operations were allowed to remain.
The Planning Director reported that he spoke with Mr. Weer -
heim's attorney and suggested that they meet with the City
Attorney to determine what ordinances were in effect at the
time Mr. Weerheim went out of business. He reported he was
unaware of any City ordinance which required the elimination
of chicken ranches and the only similar ordinance provided
for the amortization of dairies. He stated the current
Zoning Ordinance, which has been in effect for about three
and a half years, contains provisions allowing riding acad-
emies and commercial stables in the RS- 15,000 Zone subject
to a conditional use permit and the recommended amendments
do not propose to change this provision.
Chairman Hart closed the hearing and then reopened it for
additional speakers.
Mr. Larry Wuebker, 8661 Acacia Drive, Cypress, inquired if
the proposed amendments replace the current Zoning Ordinance
provisions for the RS- 15,000 Zone and the Planning Director
advised him that they did. Mr. Wuebker suggested that Item #5
be changed so that it covers concerns such as those expressed
by Mr. Weerheim. He suggested that the keeping of more than
12 poultry and 12 rabbits for non - commercial purposes be
subject to a conditional use permit.
Chairman Hart closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Van Allen and seconded by Com-
missioner Walsh to approve the proposed amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance provisions for the RS- 15,000 Zone as recom-

mended by the staff with the following changes: Item #1 be
divided into la and lb; la stating that all types of agricul-
tural and horticultural activities are permitted and lb stating
that the sale of products raised on the premises shall be
permitted subject to the granting of a conditional use permit;
that the word "such" be inserted before "animal" in Items
#2 b through d, and that Item #5 be divided into 5a and 5b;
5a stating that the keeping of not more than 12 poultry and
12 rabbits for non - commercial purposes at least 50 feet from
an adjoining dwelling is permitted and 5b stating that the
keeping of more than 12 poultry and 12 rabbits for non - commercial
purposes at least 50 feet from an adjoining dwelling is per-
mitted subject to a conditional use permit. The motion

PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #76 -5 - THOMAS
BAROLDI: Chairman Hart announced that this was the time and
place for the public hearing to consider a proposed condi-
tional use permit to establish, operate and maintain a recrea-
tional vehicle storage facility on a parcel of land situated
on the southerly side of Cerritos Avenue adjacent to the
Baroldi /Sycamore Park in the RS -6000 Residential Single Family
Zone. Included with this request is a proposal to waive the
required setback and landscaped area from Cerritos Avenue.
The Planning Director summarized Staff Report PC #76 -9 dated
April 7 regarding the proposal to establish a recreational
vehicle storage area for 40 vehicles on an acre parcel of
land located on the south side of Cerritos Avenue, adjacent
to Baroldi /Sycamore Park. A 20 -25 foot wide strip of City -
owned land along the entire westerly and southerly lot lines,
which is leased by the applicant, is part of the subject
property. Single - family homes are adjacent to the south, west
and north across Cerritos Avenue, and Baroldi /Sycamore Park
is adjacent to the east. The applicant is requesting a waiver
of the required setback and landscaping requirements along
Cerritos Avenue. The Planning Director read two letters in
opposition to the application from Mr. William Pryor, 6663
Teakwood, Cypress, and Mr. Lee Hamilton, 6673 Teakwood, Cypress.
Chairman Hart opened the hearing and asked if the applicant
wished to speak.
Mr. Thomas Baroldi, 6616 Cerritos Avenue, Cypress, agreed with
all conditions and agreed to the setback requirement for
Cerritos Avenue. He did not feel the double wall around the
perimeter of the property was necessary since this would be
a temporary use (five years). He felt a fast - growing shrub
would be a sufficient buffer.
Chairman Hart asked if anyone wished to speak in support. No
one wished to speak in favor. He asked if anyone wished to
speak in opposition.
Mr. Arnold Anderson, 3406 Claremore, Long Beach, an adjacent
property owner, read a statement signed by 27 out of 35 home-
owners in the immediate area urging the Commission to deny
the permit. Mr. Anderson stated he strongly opposed the
granting of the permit and felt the use would downgrade
surrounding properties.
Mr. Bill Castle, 6554 Teakwood, Cypress, opposed the use
because he felt it would increase burglaries and vandalism
in the neighborhood. He reported the neighborhood has had
experience with burglaries and vandalism recently.
7.
Planning Commission Minutes April 15, 1976
Mr. Patrick Duffy, 6563 Teakwood, Cypress, opposed the use
because he felt it was inappropriate in a residential zone
and would lower property values. He felt it might cause an
increase in burglaries and vandalism. He objected to the
fact that persons would be in and out of the property at odd
hours and he did not feel the lighting could be adequately
screened from adjacent properties. He felt the dump would
create health problems and stated the property was not main-
tained prior to this time. He felt the use would detract
from the residential character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Eugene Morgen, 6574 Teakwood, Cypress, urged the Commission
to deny the permit and preserve the residential area. He
supported the construction of tennis courts on the property
as were shown on the original plans.
Mr. Thomas Baroldi expressed his desire to maintain his
residence on the property which would prevent a trade with
City property and the construction of the tennis courts. He
did not feel the use would attract burglaries or vandalism
since the property would be well lighted and someone would
be on the property at all times. Hours of the operation
would be 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. He did not feel there would
be excessive activity on the property since persons did not
take their recreational vehicles out every day. He felt use
of the property would eliminate the annual weed problem and
he felt there was a need in the City for a recreational vehicle
storage area.
Commissioner Greenwood inquired if residential development
was feasible on the property and the Public Works Director
reported it would be impossible to develop standard -size
residential lots without Mr. Baroldi selling his property.
Mr. Eugene Morgen, 6574 Teakwood, Cypress, stated he did not
feel it would be practical to restrict the hours of operation
to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Chairman Hart closed the hearing.
Commissioner Greenwood felt the proposed use was inappropriate
in a residential area and stated he did not support it since
the property could be used for better purposes. He anticipated
problems with the five -year lease.
Commissioner Walsh agreed that the storage area is not the
highest and best use of the property. She did not feel the
use would be harmonious or complementary to the residential
neighborhood.
Commissioner Mullen stated he did not support the use and
felt there was no way to prevent it from being a nuisance to
adjacent homes. He did not feel it was possible to maintain
a sufficient buffer between the homes and park.
It was moved by Commissioner Walsh and seconded by Commis-
sioner Greenwood to deny Conditional Use Permit #76 -5. The
motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
5 COMMISSIONERS: Greenwood, Mullen, Van Allen,

PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #76 -6 - MICHAEL BROWN:
Chairman Hart announced that this was the time and place for
the public hearing to consider a proposed conditional use
permit to construct a nine -unit apartment project on a parcel
of land at 9561 Graham Street situated on the westerly side of
Graham Street 330 feet south of Orange Avenue in the RM -20 /A
Residential Multiple Family Zone. Included within this proposal
is a request for variances from the site area, lot width, side
yard and lot coverage requirements of the RM -20 /A Zone. He
asked for the staff's report.
The Planning Director summarized Staff Report PC #76 -10
dated April7 and presented the plot plans and elevations.
Chairman Hart asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Mr. Michael Brown, 32242 Azores, Laguna Niguel, California,
reported that as owner and builder he was interested in the
long -term potential of a quality development. He reported
the units would be a condominium or studio -type design, would
be two -story and each would have an enclosed, two -car garage
with an automatic door opener. He described the design and
amenities of the project such as central heating and air -
conditioning, and a washer and dryer in each unit.
Chairman Hart closed the hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Mullen and seconded by Commis-
sioner Walsh to approve Conditional Use Permit #76 -6 subject
to the following conditions and finding that the development
