RESOLUTION NO. 4738
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS APPROVING
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE NO. 96 -36 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 Design Review approval in accordance with the
provisions of Section 18.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to allow the
construction of a 43,290 square foot two -story office /warehouse building on the property located
at 5740 Cerritos Avenue in the PC -5 Planned Community Business Park Zone.
2. That in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.3 of the City of Cypress
Zoning Ordinance, the Design Review Committee approved this project on November 21, 1996,
thus approving the construction of the 43,290 square foot office /warehouse building.
3. That the decision of the Design Review Committee on Design Review Committee
No. 96 -36 was reported to the City Council at the next regular Council meeting following the
date of the action by the Committee.
4. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. The proposed location of the project is in accord with the objectives of the
Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the zone in which the site is located is:
Intended as an area for the development of a well designed business park
which can respond to changing future market conditions and at the same
time provide a physical mix of land uses, a range of employment
opportunities and design standards that will assure a well designed,
aesthetically pleasing business environment.
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 /warehouse building is consistent with the
applicable development standards and design guidelines set forth in the Cypress
View Limited Specific Plan.
(2) The proposed office /warehouse building is consistent with
surrounding business park developments.
(3) Sufficient access and parking for the building will be provided
onsite.
d. The proposed office /warehouse building, as conditioned, will comply with
each of the applicable provisions of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, specifically including
the PBP Planned Business Park Zone. .
5. In November of 1985, the City Council certified a Final Environmental Impact
Report ( "Specific Plan EIR ") in conjunction with the adoption of the Cypress View Limited
Specific Plan. The Specific Plan EIR analyzed all potential impacts of development of the
Cypress View Limited Specific Plan 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. This
building is within the scope of the project analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR.
6. 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
317
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. These buildings are within the scope of the project analyzed in the
General Plan Update EIR.
7. 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 Nick Adachi Architects for approval of Design Review Committee No. 96 -36, entitled the
"Initial Study /Environmental Checklist Ushio America Inc. Office /Warehouse Building" (the
"Environmental Checklist "). The Environmental Checklist concluded that with incorporation
of the mitigation measures recommended in the Environmental Checklist, the buildings 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.
8. 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 impacts 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.
The Specific Plan permits a maximum FAR of 1.0. This building has an
FAR of .44, which is well below the maximum.
(c) The proposed buildings will have no additional impacts not analyzed in the
Environmental Checklist.
(d) With incorporation of the mitigation measures recommended in the
Environmental Checklist, the proposed building will not have any
significant unmitigatable impacts on the environment, which were not
previously analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and /or the General Plan
Update EIR.
9. 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. 96 -36.
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.
10. 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 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 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 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
318
(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 EIRs. In some cases, the mitigation measures contained in 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.
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, 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 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Cypress does hereby approve Design Review Committee No. 96 -36, subject to the conditions
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at an adjourned
