RESOLUTION NO. 4849
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS DENYING
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 92 -15
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 expand church operations
for office and storage area into commercial lease spaces located at 5307 and 5309 Lincoln Avenue
within the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone.
2. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a public hearing on said
application as provided by law in which the public was given the opportunity to be heard regarding
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 92 -15.
3. That the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows:
a. The proposed location of the conditional use is not in accord with the objectives
of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln
Avenue Combining Zone, which is to provide appropriately located areas for establishments
catering primarily to highway travelers, visitors to the City or such businesses or uses where
direct access to major arterial highways is essential or desirable for their operation. The
proposed office and storage use is not a commercial use compatible with the zone in which the
site is located, which zone was designed to facilitate commercial uses.
b. Pursuant to Cypress City Code Section 17.2 -7, the proposed location of the
conditional use is not in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of
the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone in which the site is
located, because the proposed church related use will not promote a revitalization of the
commercial areas on Lincoln Avenue and will not enhance the economic base of the City. The
proposed office and storage use is not a commercial or commercial service use and will use up
lease space designed for commercial uses.
c. Pursuant to Cypress City Code Section 17.2 -7, the proposed location of the
conditional use is not in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of
the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone in which the site is
located, because the proposed church office and storage use will not strengthen the economic
base of the Lincoln Avenue Project Area and will not stimulate new commercial expansion,
employment or economic growth. The proposed office and storage use will prohibit the
creation of new, or the expansion of, existing commercial uses in the CHLC Commercial
Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone, which zone was designed for commercial uses.
d. Pursuant to Cypress City Code Section 17.2 -7, the proposed location of the
conditional use is not in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of
the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone in which the site is
located, because the proposed office and storage is an inappropriate location for mixing uses
and will result in incompatible uses on the same site.
e. Pursuant to Cypress City Code Section 17.2 -7, the proposed location of the
conditional use is not in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of
the CHLC - 10,000 Commercial Heavy Lincoln Avenue Combining Zone in which the site is
located, because the proposed conversion of the existing commercial lease space to a church
office and storage use is not consistent with the goals and policies of the Lincoln Avenue
Redevelopment Plan in that the proposed project would not improve the economic viability of
the site for the same reasons identified in this resolution. The proposed site is an inappropriate
location for mixing uses and will result in incompatible uses on the same site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress does hereby DENY Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 92 -15.
