ORAL COMMUNICATIONS. THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL ON AGENDA ITEMS PRIOR TO ANY ACTION TAKEN. ALTHOUGH COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY PROVIDE BRIEF RESPONSES, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY NOT ENGAGE IN DISCUSSION WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DURING THE MEETING. PLEASE COMPLETE A SPEAKER'S CARD IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO, AND MAKE SURE THAT CITY CLERK GETS THEM. LET'S SEE HERE. MR. YOUNGSMA, WHICH AGENDA ITEM ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK TO? BRINGING UP THE CLOSED SESSION THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. SO I JUST I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP I'M BOB, I'M BOB YOUNG. I LIVE IN CYPRESS. I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP THAT LAST MEETING. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE MADE AN ISSUE ABOUT DOCUMENTS THAT WERE LATE. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH LAWSUITS. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD DOCUMENTS LATE WHEN I FOUND THE DOCUMENTS BEING LATE, I'D GET AHOLD OF MY ATTORNEY AND SAY, OH, I BLEW IT.

I FOUND THIS, MY ATTORNEY DOES THE PAPERWORK, SENDS IT IN, AND WE SAY WE'RE SORRY. I'VE ALSO HAD THE OTHER SIDE DO THE SAME THING. KNOCK ON WOOD. I NEVER LOST A LAWSUIT GOING AFTER MY MONEY FOR SOMEBODY STATING THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE. I THINK IF YOU DO THE DOCUMENTATION, THE JUDGE UNDERSTANDS IT. PEOPLE DON'T NORMALLY INTENTIONALLY. I CAN'T SAY THAT THAT HAPPENED. I'M JUST SAYING THAT WAS NOT RIGHT. THAT EVERYBODY MADE AN ISSUE OVER THE DOCUMENTATION I LIKE. I SAID, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. I'VE BEEN THERE. I'M SURE FRED HAS DONE IT TOO. HE'S HAD CLIENTS THAT FAILED TO GIVE HIM DOCUMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND HE'S HAD TO DO THE PAPERWORK. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SAY I'M WRONG, BUT I'M NOT. SO I'M JUST SAYING, YOU GUYS SITTING THERE TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HARD. AND ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES I'M GOING TO BRING UP BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAID THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW, I FEEL I HAD A GUN TO MY HEAD AND I HAD TO DO IT. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, I SIGNED LAWSUITS ALSO TO COLLECT AS MUCH MONEY AS I CAN, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW I WAS 100% RIGHT WHEN I WAS DEALING WITH SOMEBODY WITH A LOT MORE MONEY THAN I HAD. SO A LOT OF LAWSUITS ARE WON BY PEOPLE WITH A LOT MORE MONEY. THAT'S THE THING IS DONE BECAUSE THEY GOT THE MONEY. SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT THAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE END UP SIGNING DOCUMENTS TO GET IT CLOSED, TO GET DONE WITH IT AND BE OVER BASED ON THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO GO AFTER THOSE PEOPLE. SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WANT TO BRING THAT OUT, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT OUT FULLY AND CORRECTLY, THAT IT CAN HAPPEN. AND FRED IS 100% RIGHT. HE COULDN'T MAKE THE DECISION. IT HAD TO BE BASED ON HER ATTORNEY. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT YOU WERE LEAVING IT IN SUCH A TERRIBLE MANNER THAT YOU'RE MAKING EVERYBODY THINK IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. AND IT DOES HAPPEN. SO THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING. BOTTOM LINE, NO, MR. MAYOR, JUST ONE MORE QUICK CHECK. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE CARDS UP THERE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK

[00:15:01]

OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME, THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS PRIOR TO ANY ACTION TAKEN. ALTHOUGH COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY PROVIDE BRIEF RESPONSES. THE CITY COUNCIL MAY NOT ENGAGE IN DISCUSSION WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DURING THE MEETING. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO, PLEASE COMPLETE A SPEAKER'S CARD AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY CLERK GETS IT. LET'S SEE HERE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, TENTATIVE TRACK MAP AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT FOR 20 TOWNHOMES AT FIVE, SEVEN, THREE TWO LINCOLN AVENUE. THIS TIME, IF ANY MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL HAVE YOU, CAN YOU DISCLOSE ANY COMMUNICATIONS YOU'VE YOU'VE HAD WITH ANYBODY RELEVANT TO THE TOPIC? I'VE SPOKEN WITH STAFF. OKAY. CITY STAFF. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH CITY STAFF. COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ OKAY, WELL, YEAH, I'VE SPOKEN WITH CITY STAFF TO. MR. VELASCO, PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. AS MENTIONED TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO PRESENT AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH CONSISTS OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, A TENTATIVE TRACK MAP AND AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT. AND I'VE BEEN TOLD TO HURRY BECAUSE SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS ON TONIGHT, APPARENTLY. GO, DODGERS THE. SO THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF 20 TOWNHOMES AND A TENTATIVE TRACK MAP TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY.

THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE LINCOLN AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN, WHICH REQUIRES A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. OF THE 20 UNITS, FIVE OF THEM WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR HOUSEHOLDS IN THE LOW INCOME AFFORDABILITY BRACKET. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT FIVE LOW INCOME UNITS THAT IS SIGNIFICANT IN THE PAST FOUR AND A HALF YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, WE'VE ONLY HAD TWO OTHER UNITS IN THIS AFFORDABILITY LEVEL. SO THAT WOULD BRING SEVEN, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT. AND BY PROVIDING THE AFFORDABLE UNITS, THE PROJECT IS ELIGIBLE FOR STATE DENSITY BONUS CONCESSIONS AND WAIVERS AND ALSO REQUIRES THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT TO ENTER INTO AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT. AS MENTIONED, THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 5732 LINCOLN AVENUE, AND IT'S LOCATED BETWEEN THE POST OFFICE AND AN RV STORAGE FACILITY. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY THE CITY, AND AFTER THE PROJECT RECEIVES ITS ENTITLEMENTS, IT WILL ENTER INTO ESCROW WITH THE OLSEN COMPANY. STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT THE CITY SELL THE PROPERTY THAT THE CITY SELLS IT NOW, AND FOR HOUSING PURPOSES. THE STATE DID REVIEW THIS PROJECT, APPROVED IT, AND SAID THAT THE CITY MET ALL SURPLUS LAND ACT REQUIREMENTS IN THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS 1.1 ACRES IN SIZE AND HAS BEEN LEASED TO FRUCTOSE FARMS SINCE 2005. ON THIS SLIDE IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF TWO BUILDINGS, EACH WITH TEN ATTACHED UNITS. THE SITE ONLY HAS ACCESS FROM LINCOLN AVENUE, SO YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A HAMMERHEAD THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT. THERE'S OVER 8000FT■!S OF COMMUNITY OPEN SPA, AND IT'S LOCATED IN THE FRONT AND REAR SETBACK AREAS. THE PROJECT DOES MEET MOST OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LINCOLN AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN. HOWEVER, IT IS REQUESTING TWO CONCESSIONS. THE FIRST IS AN INCREASE IN BUILDING HEIGHT UP TO 36FT, AND THE SECOND IS AN ADJUSTMENT TO RAISE THE FLOOR AREA RATIO FROM 50 TO 80%. ASIDE FROM THESE REQUESTS, THE PROJECT COMPLIES WITH ALL OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, SETBACKS, AND PARKING. DID I SAY THAT WRONG? WHY ARE YOU GETTING THAT? OH, OKAY. OKAY, THIS SLIDE DEPICTS A RENDERING OF THE PROJECT. IF YOU'RE LOOKING EASTWARD, THE BUILDINGS ARE THREE STORY IN HEIGHT AND HAVE A MEDITERRANEAN DESIGN. HERE'S ANOTHER RENDERING. BUT LOOKING WESTWARD. THIS SLIDE DEPICTS THE PROJECT ELEVATIONS. EACH UNIT HAS AN ATTACHED TWO CAR GARAGE. THE UNITS ARE TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS AND RANGE FROM 1200 TO 1700 SQUARE FEET. THE PROJECT INCLUDES THREE ENTITLEMENTS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, A DENSITY BONUS, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT, AND A TENTATIVE TRACK MAP TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY IS ALLOWED TO HAVE 20 RESIDENTIAL UNITS BY RIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT THE PROJECT IS PROPOSING. THE APPLICANT IS NOT ASKING FOR AN INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL UNITS, WHICH COULD BE A REQUEST BECAUSE OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS, BUT THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING THAT. THEY'RE ONLY REQUESTING THE TWO CONCESSIONS TO RAISE THE HEIGHT AND THE INCREASE IN FLOOR AREA RATIO, AND THEN ALSO FOR THE CITY TO WAIVE THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE FOR THE FIVE AFFORDABLE UNITS. SO THESE REQUESTS DO ALIGN WITH STATE

[00:20:05]

DENSITY BONUS LAW, WITH THE GOAL TO PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY TO ENCOURAGE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. IN EXCHANGE FOR THE CONCESSIONS AND WAIVERS, THE APPLICANT AND THE CITY WILL ENTER INTO AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT. THE AGREEMENT SPECIFIES THE CONCESSIONS AND WAIVERS GRANTED, THE AFFORDABILITY LEVEL AND TERM, AND ENSURES THAT THE AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT WITH SIMILAR FINISHES TO THE MARKET RATE. UNITS. A TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT WAS PREPARED FOR THE PROJECT. THE DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTRIBUTE 135 DAILY TRIPS, WITH EIGHT IN THE AM PEAK HOUR AND TEN IN THE PM PEAK HOUR.

PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS ONE, WHICH CONTRIBUTE LESS THAN 50 TRIPS PER PEAK HOUR, ARE CONSIDERED INSIGNIFICANT. THIS PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM SEQUA AS INFILL DEVELOPMENT. THERE HAS BEEN PUBLIC OUTREACH REGARDING THE PROJECT. THE APPLICANT HOSTED A COMMUNITY MEETING. THE SITE HAS APPEARED ON TWO PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL AGENDAS, AND PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING WERE MAILED AND POSTED AS REQUIRED, AND NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED TO DATE. SO WITH THAT, IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, THE TENTATIVE TRACK MAP, AND CONFIRM THAT THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM SEQUENCE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. DO ANY OF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MUELLER THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND WHEN I WAS READING ABOUT THE CONCESSIONS, THE ADDITIONAL SIX FEET IN HEIGHT ALLOWS FOR THE THIRD STORY. I MEAN, THAT THAT GIVES AND HOW MANY UNITS ARE ON EACH STORY? WELL, THEY'RE EACH UNIT IS THREE LEVELS. OKAY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO IT'S ALLOWING MORE LIVING SPACE BY ADDING THE ADDITIONAL SIX FEET. IT DOES. AND THE APPLICANT MIGHT WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT. THE SIX FEET ALSO ALLOWS FOR A PITCHED ROOF JUST LIKE A NICER DESIGN. RIGHT. AND MORE LIVABLE BUILDING HEIGHT LIKE FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT WITHIN THE UNITS. YOU KNOW, THEY PROBABLY COULD SQUEEZE IT DOWN, BUT IT WOULD BE AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. YEAH, IT LOOKS IT IT IT LOOKS GREAT FROM THE ELEVATIONS THAT I'M LOOKING AT, THE FLOOR AREA RATIO. CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THAT MEANS. NO, NO I CAN'T OF COURSE YES I CAN. IT IS JUST A IT'S JUST NOT AN IDEAL WAY OF MEASURING A LOTS INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT. RIGHT. SO THE FLOOR AREA RATIO TAKES EACH FLOOR AND, AND ADDS IT UP AS A RATIO OF THE OVERALL LOT SIZE AS OPPOSED TO IN OTHER AREAS OF OUR CODE. WE APPLY SOMETHING CALLED LOT COVERAGE, WHICH ACTUALLY JUST SHOWS WHERE THE BUILDING FOOTPRINTS ARE. BUT FLOOR AREA RATIO ACTUALLY TAKES HEIGHT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. SO YOU JUST MEASURE THE INTENSITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE. GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST RESTATING TO WHAT YOU SAID THAT WE ARE NOT THERE'S NO DENSITY BONUS HERE. WE'RE NOT GOING DENSER AND WE'RE GETTING FIVE AFFORDABLE UNITS. THAT'S RIGHT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE. NOPE. OKAY. AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO COME FORWARD TO SPEAK ON IT. HOW ABOUT OUR. YES, PLEASE, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. AND IT'S BEEN A JOY WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS ON THIS COMMUNITY. IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE WE BUILT IN THE CITY OF CYPRESS ABOUT 20 YEARS, BUT THIS WILL BE OUR FOURTH COMMUNITY STAFF HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING TO WORK WITH. MR. GRANT, YOUR DEPARTMENT HEADS, YOUR STAFF HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND ESPECIALLY MISS VELASCO, THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, AS SHE MENTIONED, TO PROVIDE FOR LOW INCOME FOR SALE UNITS, ESPECIALLY IN ORANGE COUNTY. IT'S RARE, BUT IT IS REQUIRED UNDER THE SURPLUS HOUSING ACT.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OLSON IS FAMILIAR WITH. WE BUILT OF THE 16,000 UNITS WE BUILT OVER THE PAST 40, SOME YEARS ABOUT, SAY, 3000 HAVE BEEN AFFORDABLE. SO WE'VE LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS OPPORTUNITY. I ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE JUST RECEIVED THE ALLIANT AWARD, WHICH IS THE J.D. POWERS OF THE HOME BUILDING INDUSTRY FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS AMONGST ALL PRIVATE AND PUBLIC HOME BUILDERS NATIONWIDE, AND WE HAVE BEEN THE WINNER OF THAT

[00:25:03]

AWARD FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS IN A ROW. AND NINE OUT OF THE PAST 11 YEARS, WHICH IS UNPRECEDENTED. NOBODY HAS COME CLOSE TO THAT. SO YOU SHOULD HAVE VERY SATISFIED BUYERS IN YOUR HOMES. AND THE BUILDINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE CORRECT. COUNCIL MEMBER MALLORY. THE EXTRA FOOTAGE ALLOWS FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THAT'S VERY PLEASING AND VARIED, RATHER THAN A FLAT ROOF TYPE OF DESIGN. SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IN KEEPING WITH THE AREA.

IN A SPANISH COLONIAL FORMAT. AND LASTLY, WE ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE ATTENDED TO THE PROJECT, AND MY ENTIRE TEAM IS HERE. BRIAN CUNNINGHAM IS OUR PROJECT MANAGER. HE'S THE GUY THAT GETS THIS DONE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, ALONG WITH MY PROJECT ARCHITECT AND CIVIL ENGINEER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND ACTUALLY, IF I MAY, MR. MAYOR, IF YOU COULD IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE JOHN REKSTEN WITH THE OLSON COMPANY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. YEAH. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BEING COMPLETED. AND IT'S GOING TO ADD ANOTHER ANOTHER SHINING STAR TO THE CITY FOR SURE. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE ALL OF YOU. THANKS.

DO ANY OF MY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS OR ANY COMMENTS AND I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, IT WAS FIVE AFFORDABLE UNITS. OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE YOU. GOING TO SPEAK? WELL I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR EFFORTS. I JUST WANT TO SAY I'LL BE VOTING NO ON THIS BECAUSE AT THIS POINT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN. SO THIS TIME IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. OKAY. THE COMMENTS COULD BE AFTER THE CLOSE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. OKAY.

NOBODY ELSE IS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. THEN WE'LL CLOSE. MR. MAYOR, THE SPEAKER'S CARD I HANDED FOR YOU. HANDED YOU IS FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. SORRY ABOUT THAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR GENERAL ORAL. MR. BUTTON, PLEASE. I'M GLENN BUTTON, LONG TIME RESIDENT OF CYPRESS, AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND OUR CITY, THE FABULOUS PLANNING DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE. THE PLANNING AUTHORITY THAT WE HAVE THE SITTING THE ELECTED CITY COUNCIL. THIS SHOWS HOW EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT OUR CITY CAN BE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND I JUST WANTED TO APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP. OKAY.

SO IF THERE IS NOBODY ELSE, THEN I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL BRING THE ITEM BACK TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES FOR COMMENTS. COUNCILMEMBER MARQUEZ YES, I JUST WANT TO AGAIN THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS. I WILL BE VOTING NO BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THERE WASN'T A STRONG EFFORT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THIS WAS LAND THAT CAME OUT OF OUR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, THAT ALL OF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFFORDABLE. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE VOTING. NO. THE AGREEMENT ALSO IS ONLY FOR 56 YEARS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FOR IN PERPETUITY. AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YO. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER BURKE. THANK YOU. JUST REALLY BRIEFLY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ITEM WE'VE DISCUSSED A COUPLE TIMES HERE BEFORE THE COUNCIL. AND I SEE SOME FACES IN THE CROWD I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. SO ONE THING I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I THINK IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS IT MENTIONS THE AFFORDABLE UNITS AND SOMETIMES IN CALIFORNIA TERMINOLOGY, WHEN YOU HEAR THAT A UNIT IS AFFORDABLE, YOU LOOK AT THE PRICE AND IT'S SOMETHING LIKE $600,000 AND YOU THINK, WELL, THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY VERY AFFORDABLE. IS IT? THESE UNITS, I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT PRICE TAG, BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN MARKET RATES. IT REALLY SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO KIND OF AFFORD A MARKET RATE UNIT. AND I THINK THAT'S A UNIQUE BENEFIT AND A NICE ADDITION TO OUR COMMUNITY. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THAT AND POINT OUT THAT I THINK THAT'S A STRONG VIRTUE OF THE PROJECT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MUELLER. YEAH, I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. I, I'M A PROPONENT OF TRYING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW INCOME FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BRING IN FIVE ADDITIONAL LOW INCOME, AFFORDABLE UNITS WHEN WE PRIOR ONLY HAD TWO IN I FORGET OVER WHAT PERIOD OF TIME THE IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REALIZE THAT

[00:30:03]

DEVELOPERS WILL COME IN AND PROVIDE LOW INCOME UNITS WHEN IT MAKES SENSE FOR THEM FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE. AND SO THIS IS A COMBINATION OF GOOD BUSINESS SENSE, I THINK FOR DEVELOPERS, AS THEY PROPOSE THIS. AND I'M SURE THAT THEY'VE PENCILED IT OUT AND KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK FOR THEM. AND IT BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY. AND IT IS ALSO A REQUIREMENT OF CITIES TO USE THEIR SURPLUS LAND. IN THIS CASE, THIS FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING UNITS. SO TO ME, IT'S A WIN FOR EVERYONE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, A WIN FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO GET TO LIVE IN THESE BEAUTIFUL HOMES. YOU KNOW, AND FIVE FAMILIES MOVING INTO CYPRUS IN THE 200,000, MAYBE PLUS OR SO PRICE POINT, YOU CAN'T FIND THAT ANYWHERE IN OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT NOW. SO I'M JUST SO HAPPY AND EXCITED THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WELCOME FAMILIES INTO THE COMMUNITY WHO CAN BUY THOSE HOMES AT THAT PRICE POINT. ALL RIGHT. SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE ITEM. I MOVE FOR APPROVAL AND A SECOND, SECOND. THANK YOU. IT'S LOCKING YOUR VOTES. THAT MOTION CARRIES WITH THREE YES VOTES. AND ONE NO VOTE BY COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU AGAIN. THE OLSON COMPANY, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE NO NEW BUSINESS AND NO ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR. SO WE WILL MOVE INTO OUR. OH, CARD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IN THE CARDS, WE'LL MOVE INTO

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO, PLEASE FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AND MAKE SURE THE CITY CLERK GETS IT. MR. YOUNGSM, FOLLOWED BY WANDA YOUNGSMA.

WELL, GOOD EVENING AGAIN, BOB YOUNGSMA, PRESIDENT OF CYPRUS. YEAH, I WANTED TO BRING UP AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A LOT OF RESIDENTS.

THEY KIND OF FEEL LIKE THE CITY IS A CITY THAT LIKES TO SWEEP THINGS UNDER THE RUG OR JUST KIND OF IGNORE IT. AND MAYBE IT'LL GO AWAY, YOU KNOW? SO I'M GOING TO BRING IT UP AGAIN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A PERSON ON THE COUNCIL. HE LIKES TO BULLY PEOPLE AND HE LIKES TO THREATEN PEOPLE. HE HAD HIS LITTLE FINGER SLAPPED ONE TIME FOR DOING IT, BUT THEY SAID HE ONLY DID IT ONCE WHEN HE DID IT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE HE GOT HIS FINGER SLAPPED. AND NOW HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. HE'S ALSO BROKE THE CHARTER IN TWO LOCATIONS, AND THE RULES ARE VERY CLEAR. IF YOU BREAK THE CHARTER, YOU'RE GONE. HE SHOULD BE RESIGNING. HE SHOULDN'T BE SITTING ON THE COUNCIL ANYMORE. HE HAD NO BUSINESS GOING ROGUE ON HIS OWN. AND THEN ADMITTED HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT SILENT. SO PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND THE PERSON THAT HE WAS DOING IT FOR. KIND OF A SHAME, BECAUSE THAT PERSON IS TRYING TO RUN FOR COUNCIL, AND IF HE'S WILLING TO COVER UP THINGS AND GET ELECTED TO COVER UP THINGS, THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING. WE DON'T WANT SOMEBODY ON THE COUNCIL THAT THINKS IT'S OKAY TO KEEP IT QUIET. ANYBODY IN THE COUNCIL, THEY WORK FOR THE RESIDENTS. THEY GOT VOTED IN BY THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE THEY EXPECT THEM TO DO WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE DONE, KEEPING THINGS A SECRET. THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY WANT. LIKE I SAID, YOU BROKE THE CHARTER TWICE. IF YOU'D LIKE, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ATTORNEYS READ IT. THEY SAID NO ARGUMENT ABOUT IT. THEN THEY ALSO SAID THAT YOU GUYS WILL PROBABLY STATE THAT THAT'S NOT TRUE, THAT HE DID NOT, BUT HE DID. HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE RIGHTS IS THE COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL HAS TO AUTHORIZE NO COUNCIL AUTHORIZED. WHAT HAPPENED. AND SO THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. NEXT UP WILL BE COREY SANDERS. NO, NO,
