He stated that the Business and Professions Code regulates attorneys and other professionals, and the amendment would give additional requirements for individuals to become massage therapists. He commented that nothing in the amendment changes the enforcement mechanism, which allows for the revocation or suspension of any facility that does any improper massages. Mayor Yarc asked if the amendment would keep improper massage therapists from reopening. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative, and clarified that the new legislation would allow the City to use the more comprehensive State law and also retain the City's authority to shut down any massage facilities that have any violations. It was moved by Council Member Berry and seconded by Council Member Johnson, that the City Council introduce for first reading the Ordinance by title only, approving amendments to portions of Cypress Municipal Code Chapter 15A, Massage Establishments (the "Amended Ordinance ").

The City Planner provided background information on this item. Mayor Yarc asked about the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements and why such a large area of Lincoln Avenue has to be retained for multi- family properties. The City Planner responded that multi - family residential properties were identified as a desired land use to help facilitate and promote commercial development. Mayor Yarc asked if Duke & Duchess and Hanson Auto Body would be removed in order to allow for residential properties. The City Planner replied that those businesses would eventually be considered for residential property development. Council Member Johnson asked about the input received from Retail Strategies. The City Planner responded that Retail Strategies reviewed all of the properties located along the Lincoln Avenue corridor. Council Member Johnson asked about the potential residential to commercial properties ratio of 80/20. The City Planner responded that the 80/20 ratio could happen at its peak. Council Member Johnson asked if the staff recommendation is for a 60/40 split. The City Planner responded in the affirmative. Council Member Johnson asked about the retention of commercial properties on the intersection corners. The City Planner replied that the recommendation was to retain commercial properties on all of the major intersections. Council Member Johnson asked about the small, privately owned properties. The City Planner commented that combining small properties for large commercial development could be difficult. Council Member Johnson asked if property development density could be denied. The City Planner replied that a minimum of 20 and up to 30 units per acre must be allowed, as well as a density bonus as required by State law. Council Member Berry asked about penalties associated with the State mandated height limits in the RM and R30 zoning districts. The City Planner responded that non - compliance of State mandated height limits could deem the housing element invalid. Council Member Berry asked how often the State intervenes. The City Planner replied that he is unsure of the frequency that the State intervenes, and is unaware of any local cities that have made a similar change. The City Attorney spoke of legal challenges from private interest groups and of a recent California Supreme Court case regarding non - compliance of affordable housing. 5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 2016 Council Member Berry asked if future developments could be required to include affordable housing. The City Attorney indicated that affordable housing is a litigated issue in the courts and that it would be best addressed by Government Code Section 65580 regarding municipality housing need requirements. He spoke of recent court cases related to density bonus litigation. Council Member Berry asked if the City has considered a rent inclusionary zoning measure for developers. The City Manager responded no, and clarified that most inclusionary ordinances require affordable production in the range of 10% to 20% of units and the City has achieved a percentage within that range. Council Member Berry asked if Lincoln Avenue is considered a high- traffic corridor and if a recent traffic study has been done. The Director of Community Development responded that based on the 2009 traffic review, Lincoln Avenue is not considered a high- traffic corridor and that traffic counts are taken every several years. Council Member Berry asked if the traffic impacts are expected to change with the proposed new developments. The Director of Community Development replied that the total traffic volume counts would not be expected to change. Council Member Peat asked about the projected residential build -out at over 17,000 and when that estimate was derived. The City Planner responded that the projected residential build -out calculation was derived as part of the 2005 General Plan Update, which considers available properties in the City and potential redevelopment residential uses. Council Member Peat asked when the next General Plan would be developed. The City Planner responded that the next General Plan Update would not be done for at least five years. The City Manager clarified that General Plan Updates are extremely time consuming and expensive, however it could be discussed as part of a Strategic Plan session if the City Council desires more frequent updates. Council Member Peat commented that the General Plan Update was done nearly 11 years ago and asked if a larger housing element would now be more appropriate. The City Planner responded in the affirmative. Council Member Peat asked if the City would be exempt from developing additional affordable housing units should all of the 308 RHNA units be developed. The City Planner responded no, and indicated that RHNA compliance would be based on income requirements. The City Manager clarified that the RHNA figures are updated every eight years which is an allocation on an annual basis of where new housing could /should /ought to be developed throughout Southern California. He stated that the City's numbers went down from two periods ago to the current period, and that the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) looks at the amount of available land in each of its component cities and spreads out the anticipated need for housing across the region to all of the different cities. He stated that opportunity sites have to be identified in preparation for the housing element. 6 153 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 2016 154 Council Member Peat asked about moratorium requirements. The City Attorney responded that a specific plan studied by the City is in place and provided to the State with the promise to provide these opportunities for affordable housing and other developments in the City from 2014 through 2021. He stated that to go back and impose a moratorium would raise very serious legal concerns. He indicated that the basic standard we have to show is that that was absolutely necessary and there was no other practical alternative to the City to ensure the public health, safety, and welfare, and that is a very difficult standard to meet. Council Member Peat asked the City Attorney if he believes those conditions exist in Cypress. The City Attorney replied that he would not recommend that the City Council adopt a moratorium on this matter. Council Member Peat asked if the 652 units that could be built with density bonus along the Lincoln Avenue corridor would be in the RHNA zone. The City Planner responded in the affirmative. Council Member Peat spoke about the former redevelopment agency's decision to not engage in recommended commercial projects on Lincoln Avenue because the corridor does not support the commercial development of those areas. He asked if the highest and best use of the Lincoln Avenue corridor would be housing. The City Planner responded in the affirmative. Council Member Berry spoke regarding the balance between residential and commercial developments and State mandated compliance. Council Member Morales spoke regarding State mandates and comments to the City Council. He commented on misinformation regarding Cypress School District student enrollment numbers and potential enrollment with the new housing developments, and park attendance. He assured the community that their comments are listened to by the City Council. Mayor Yarc thanked staff for their work on this item and spoke of State mandates. She spoke in support of deferring this matter with an added provision to the Specific Plan that new developments comply with RHNA numbers. She commented that she does not agree to all residential development on Lincoln Avenue, and suggested that the 308 RHNA housing units be complied with and the others be commercial developments. It was moved by Council Member Peat and seconded by Council Member Johnson, that the City Council: 1) Receive and file the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan Five -Year Review; and 2) Direct modifications to the Specific Plan to preserve the properties identified in Attachment A for commercial uses; and 3) Direct modifications to the Specific Plan to reduce the maximum residential building height in the CM- Commercial Mixed Use, CV- Campus Village, and PS Public & Semi - Public zoning districts from 50 feet to 30 feet; and 4) Provide direction regarding any other changes to the Specific Plan.

The Senior Management Analyst provided background information on this item. Council Member Johnson asked about the possibility of shared costs with the cities of Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. 7 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 2016 The Senior Manager Analyst indicated that the cities of Los Alamitos and Seal Beach have their own agreement with Long Beach Animal Care, and the City of Los Alamitos contracts with the Long Beach Animal Care for shelter and field services. She stated that the City of Seal Beach utilizes the Seal Beach Animal Care Center which would need to triple in size in order to accommodate Cypress if they had an interest in providing services to the City. Council Member Johnson asked if the shelter construction cost would be adjusted if additional cities contract with the County of Orange for animal shelter services. The Senior Management Analyst responded that the County of Orange would not allow additional cities to contract with them until three years after construction of the shelter and that the new cities would pay proportionately at that time. Council Member Johnson spoke of not being able to subcontract with a local veterinarian and limited kennel space at existing facilities. Council Member Berry spoke of the Grand Jury Report regarding conditions of the current animal shelter, and asked if staff is confident that the shelter construction would occur. The Senior Management Analyst responded in the affirmative, and stated that the construction contract would be awarded at the Orange County Board of Supervisor's meeting tomorrow night. Council Member Berry asked if the $35 million shelter construction cost would decrease if fewer cities contracted with the County of Orange for animal shelter services. The Senior Management Analyst responded in the affirmative, and indicated that the shelter size and construction cost would be adjusted accordingly. Mayor Yarc asked how dog owners would pick up their stray dogs from the new site in Tustin. The Senior Management Analyst replied that every effort would be made to contact owners and leave the stray animal at an acceptable location within the city if the animal is licensed and /or chipped. She stated that an impound fee waiver program has been implemented and that the City Council could negotiate enhanced services. Mayor Yarc asked if the City Council could negotiate to have the stray animal brought home. The Senior Management Analyst responded in the affirmative, and clarified that costs could be associated with such enhanced service. Mayor Yarc asked about the distance of the new site compared to the distance of the current site. The Senior Management Analyst indicated that the new site in Tustin would be 21 miles from Cypress and that the current animal shelter is 14 miles from Cypress. Mayor Yarc asked if pet adoption services would be provided at the new site. The Senior Management Analyst responded in the affirmative, and clarified that animal adoption would be part of the enhanced services. It was moved by Council Member Johnson and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Morales, that the City Council: 1) Approve an Animal Care Shelter Construction Participation Agreement with the County of Orange for the City's proportional share of the cost; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to enter into a 10 -year payment schedule with the County for the City's proportional share of the new animal care shelter beginning October 2016; and 3) Approve a 10 -year Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Orange for animal control and field services. 8 155 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 2016 156 The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Berry, Johnson, Peat, Morales and Yarc NOES: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT MATTERS: The Cypress City Council, Acting as the Ex Officio Governing Board of Directors.

ITEMS FROM CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS: Item No. 10: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON APPROVAL OF CHARTER SCHOOLS. Mayor Yarc spoke in support of charter schools and commented that she does not have enough information for approving a moratorium and is not comfortable voting in favor of this item. Council Member Johnson asked for clarification on the temporary moratorium. The City Attorney stated that the temporary moratorium urges the legislature of the State of California to adopt the changes which is not the same as if the City adopted its own moratorium directly on a particular land use or development. Council Member Johnson asked about legal risks. The City Attorney indicated that the legal risks are not very significant, as the terms of the Resolution are clear that it is urging action which is a protected petitioning activity by the City. Council Member Berry spoke in support of charter schools in Orange County and in opposition to an open -ended moratorium on charter schools. 9 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 11, 2016 157 Mayor Pro Tem Morales asked about the process to rewrite the Resolution. The City Manager indicated that the Anaheim Union High School District provided the moratorium Resolution. He stated that the City Council could make changes to it, provide guidance to staff to make changes to the motion, vote to approve the motion as it stands, vote to continue this item, or vote to not pass this item. He commented that City staff does not have the expertise to provide a thorough recitation of the other facts that impact charter schools. Mayor Yarc suggested that Council Members Peat and Berry meet with the City /Anaheim Union High School District Joint Steering Ad Hoc Committee to gather more information. It was moved by Council Member Peat and seconded by Council Member Johnson, that this item be deferred until the regular City Council meeting of June 27, 2016, in order to allow Council Members Berry and Peat to meet with the City /Anaheim Union High School District Joint Steering Ad Hoc Committee to gather more information on this matter.
