RESOLUTION NO. 4932
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS APPROVING
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE NO. 98 -7 - 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 Design Review Committee permit in
accordance with the provisions of Section 18.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to
allow the construction of a 15,102 square -foot office building located at 5900 Corporate Avenue,
within the PC -5 Planned Community Business Park Zone.
2. That in accordance with Section 18.3 of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, the
Design Review Committee reviewed and approved this project on March 26, 1998, at which time
it approved the construction of the proposed 15,102 square -foot office building.
3. That in accordance with Section 18.4 of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, the
decision of the Design Review Committee on Design Review Committee No. 98 -7 was reported
to the City Council at the next available regular Council meeting following the date of the action
by the Committee.
4. That in accordance with Section 18.4 of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, the
effective date of the Design Review Committee's decision to approve this project shall be the date
of consent approval by the City Council and upon receipt by the Community Development
Department of a signed agreement to any conditions of approval by the applicant.
5. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. The proposed location of the project is in accordance with the objectives of
the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose and intent of the PC -5 Planned Community
Business Park Zone in which the site is located, which is:
Intended to ensure responsible development in the Specific Plan area while
allowing for creative and imaginative community design concepts tailored
to meet the needs of the particular area.
b. The proposed building is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives
of the City of Cypress General Plan, as updated in 1993.
c. The proposed location of the project 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 proposed office building is consistent with the applicable
development standards and design guidelines set forth in the Cypress View
Limited Specific Plan.
(2) The proposed office building is consistent with surrounding
business park development.
(3) Sufficient access and parking for the building will be provided
onsite.
d. The proposed office building implements in -part the previously approved
Cypress View Limited Specific Plan project.
e. The proposed office building, as conditioned, will comply with each of the
applicable provisions of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, specifically including the PC -5
Planned Community Business Park Zone.
6. In 1985, the City Council certified a Final Environmental Impact Report
( "Specific Plan EIR ") in conjunction with the adoption of the Cypress View Limited Specific
1
477
Plan. The Specific Plan EIR analyzed all potential impacts of development of the Cypress View
Limited Specific Plan project, including cumulative impacts, at the full buildout levels permitted
by the Specific Plan. The EIR recommended a variety of mitigation measures which were
adopted by the City Council in conjunction with its adoption of the Specific Plan. A mitigated
Negative Declaration was filed accordingly. This building is within the scope of the Specific
Plan project, as analyzed in the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the
subsequent Initial Study /Checklist prepared for the proposed office building.
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 at the full buildout levels permitted by the Cypress View Limited Specific
Plan and other Business Park Specific Plans. 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. In accordance with Section 21094 of the California Environmental Quality Act and
Sections 15063, 15162, and 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an
Environmental Checklist/Initial Study was prepared in conjunction with the application submitted
by Frank Piermarini of Piermarini Enterprises, Inc. for approval of Design Review Committee
No. 98 -7, entitled the "Initial Study /Environmental Checklist Design Review Committee No. 98-
7 (the "Environmental Checklist "). The Environmental Checklist concluded that with
incorporation of the mitigation measures from the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report
(EIR), the building would not have significant impacts on the environment which were not
previously analyzed and disclosed in the Specific Plan EIR or the General Plan Update EIR.
9. Based on the analysis of the Environmental Checklist, the City Council finds that:
(a) The level of development to date in the Cypress View Limited Specific
Plan area is below the full buildout levels of development analyzed in the
Specific Plan EIR, and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR;
(b) The impact of the proposed building, including the cumulative impacts, are
equal to or less than those considered in the Specific Plan EIR, and the
General Plan Update EIR and no additional mitigation measures beyond
those recommended in the Environmental Checklist are necessary.
(c) The proposed building will have no additional impacts not analyzed in the
Environmental Checklist;
(d) With incorporation of the mitigation measures recommended in the
Environmental Checklist, including the applicable mitigation measures
adopted in conjunction with the approval of the Specific Plan and the 1993
General Plan Update, the proposed building will not have any significant
unmitigatable impacts on the environment, which were not previously
analyzed in the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and /or
the General Plan Update EIR.
10. The zoning designation for the site and the Specific Plan permits the density of
development on the site which would be permitted by Design Review Committee No. 98 -7.
There are no significant impacts upon the environment peculiar to the site which were not
addressed as significant impacts in the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the
subsequent Expanded Initial Study, or the Cypress General Plan Update EIR, or which
substantial new information shows would be more significant than described in those previous
EIRs.
11. Although this building 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, the buildout of the entire Cypress View
Limited Specific Plan area 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
478
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.
12. 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 building 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).
13. In conjunction with the adoption of this resolution, the City Council is adopting
the policies and mitigation measures included in the conditions of approval attached hereto as
Exhibit "A ", which will avoid all potential significant impacts of the buildings or mitigate them
to levels anticipated in the previously certified Bits. In some cases, the mitigation measures
contained on Exhibit "A" vary slightly from the 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.
14. 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 and the mitigated negative declaration prepared for this
approval.
15. The mitigated negative declaration adopted for this approval reflects the
independent judgment of the City Council.
16. 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 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Cypress does hereby approve Design Review Committee No. 98 -7, subject to the conditions
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" .
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
