END OF CONSENT CALENDAR
NEW BUSINESS:
Item No. 7: LINCOLN AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN FIVE -YEAR REVIEW.
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.

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 motion was carried by the following roll call vote:

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)
