poor people of the City could have decent housing. He also asked what could be
done to acquire the land for development of the South Side Park. He stated his'
organization felt the project had been stalled for a year now and -felt that this

Mayor Schwartz explained that any question regarding low rent housing should
be directed to the City Housing Authority as it is their responsibility and
not the Council's. He stated that the only Council responsibility in this
matter was the appointment of the members to the commission. although he con-
tinued the City Council is extremely interested in acquiring decent housing for
all citizens of the City.
Mayor Schwartz then explained the problems involved in acquiring land on South'
' Street for the South Side Park, but that the appraised values were 100% apart
between the amount offered by the City and the amount demanded by the property
owner. He continued that the City Council is continuing on this project by
(1) obtaining additional appraisals and (2) looking for other land.in the
general area for development.
E. Marrufo explained that his group would like to urge the City Council to do
all they can on these two projects for the betterment of the community. He
felt that while each project is important, he did not feel that the park should
stand in the way of the low rent housing development, nor should the housing
stand in the way of the park development.
He thanked the City Council for allowing him to appear before them and .again
urged that the Council do all they can on these two most important projects.
5. Communication from R. Zazueta, owner of Rustic Gardens Nursery, requesting
Council permission to erect a cyclone type fence on the City right -of -way on
the southeast corner of Chorro and Walnut.
H. Johnson, City Attorney; stated that this matter could be handled by a
temporary encroachment permit from the City to permit said structure to be
erected on City property by R. Zazueta.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the City
' Attorney prepare the necessary encroachment permit to allow R. Zazueta to
encroach on City property for construction of a fence. Motion carried.
6. Communication from G. Jameson, 658 -B Couper Drive, forwarding a copy of her
letter to the District Highway Engineer requesting a speed limit reduction on
Highway 1 between. :Foothill and the second farm entrance to Cal Poly from 65 mph
to 35 mph and requesting the assistance of the City in this matter.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Graham, the request was
referred to the Traffic Committee for study and recommendation.
7. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation
of the Planning Commission to rezone from R -1 to PD R -2 that property located
on the northeast side of Los Osos Road between Madonna Road and Tract 234, also
known as 1650 Los Osos Road.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the following recommendations of the
Planning Commission for this rezoning.
1. The subject property is 63,885 square feet in area and is presently zoned
A =1. The applicant is requesting PD R -2 zoning on the subject property in
order to construct 20 family dwelling units which will house low income
families and will be owned by the City Housing Authority.
2. The plan proposes extension of an existing frontage road paralleling Los
Osos Road. The access point from the frontage road to Los Osos Road being
approximately 270 feet south of the intersection of Madonna Road and Los
Osos Road.
3. The gross density of the proposed development is one dwelling unit for
each 3,194 square feel of land area, well within the density provisions of
the R -2 District.
4. The applicant is requesting that he be permitted to provide only two park-
ing spaces for each dwelling unit for a total of 40 spaces. If the parking
were to be required on the basis of number of bedrooms, 52 spaces would be
needed. The applicant has requested the reduction of the 12 spaces in order
to provide additional area for recreation and landscaping and has shown that
the plan could be modified to provide for the additional 12 spaces in the
future if required.

5. It was the consensus of the Commission that the subject property would not be
developed for R -1 use since it fronts on Los Osos Road, a mayor thoroughfare.
It was also their opinion that the proposed PD -R -2 zoning is in keeping with
the General Plan for this area.
Letters were received from the following, objecting to the rezoning and urging that
the City Council deny the recommended rezoning of the Planning Commission.

Mayor Schwartz explained that prior to opening the public hearing that he wished
to ask the public and -the City Council to discuss only the merits of the rezoning
from R -1 to PD R -2 and not any proposed single use-for the property as the Councils
consideration must only be on the merits of the proposed rezoning and-not on any
contomplated use.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open: .
B. I. Wennerstrom, representing Lindero Investment Company, appeared before the
City Council urging that-the Council concur in the recommendation of the Planning
Commission in the recommetded rezoning =to PD R -2.
He continued that he felt the site proposed for PD R -2 development was a good use
of the land and that the intended project by Lendero Investment Company would be
an asset to the area and to the City.
He continued that his firm has studied this particular area and they do not believe
it could be adequately developed for single family use and urged that the City
Council approve the recommendation.
L. Balatti, Chairm, City Housing Authority, stated that the Authority was in
support of this rezoning.
F. Molina stated he-was in support of the rezoning for its intended use.
Mr. Hegglen, Architect for Lindero, stated that it was his opinion that the pro-
posed use of the property was good for the land and further felt that the- develop-
ment would serve as a buffer between the high traffic on Los Osos Road and the
adjacent residential property.
G. Larson, designer of the proposed residential dwellings, urged the .City Council
to approve the rezoning as he felt that multiple dwellings facing Los:Osos Road
was a good use of the land and would be an asset to the general area.—He felt
the proposal was reasonable.
J. Forbes asked for a report on the general plan for use in this general area.
Mayor Schwartz explained the property uses as shown on the General Plan for.this
area at the present time.
F. Rossi felt that the zoning was reasonable as multiple dwelling property was
needed in the area and he also felt no one would develop R -1 dwellings on a
divided road such as the property facing Los Osos Road.
J. Thomas, 1626 Vicente Drive, appeared before the City Council on behalf of his
neighbors in the Lakewood Tract objecting to the rezoning on the basis that this
represents spot zoning, and the proposal places two -story multiple dwellings in a
residential R -1 zone.
City Council Minutes

He continued that he and his neighbors had purchased property in the Lakewood
and-Laguna Lake area with the feeling that their single family homes would be
protected by the R -1 zoning. They did not feel that the multiple dwellings as
proposed would be an asset to the area.
He also stated that when purchasing.their homes, he and his neighbors realized
that Lindero Investment Company had proposed a small shopping area on their land
on Los Osos Road, but they felt that a one -story commercial building; which offered
services to the area would not be.objectionable.
He then presented a petition containing over 505 names of residents and voters
in the Lakewood and Laguna Lake area opposing this rezoning and urging the City
Council to deny this application.
The petition contained the following statement:
As property owners of the Lakewood Tract, in which the parcel of land is situated
and of Laguna Lake, which is adjacent to the area requiring rezoning, we the
undersigned property owners of this area, are strongly opposed to such action,
for the following reasons.
1.- The.proposed change is "spot zoning ".
2. There will be a hazardous increase in the traffic flow.
3. The proposed two -story units will violate the privacy of the adjoining
property owners..
4. The,precedent set by this proposed rezoning may allow further rezoning of
the same type.
T. Cox objected to the rezoning as he felt that once this parcel has been changed
to higher density use, then other vacant properties would be requested to be
changed-also and this would.start a surge of multiple dwellings in the area.
He continued that he was sure that other development companies could easily
purchase R =1 property and then if rezoned, would accrue economic benefits to the
developer.
R. Dill, Pico Court, objected to the rezoning as he felt that if this property
were rezoned, the owners of the adjacent vacant parcels would try to have their
property rezoned to R -2 also.
C. Dill questioned the need for rezoning to higher use in this area as he was
sure there must be adequate R -2 property in other parts of the City without coming
into a nice residential area.
G. Arnett.objected to the rezoning as he felt that the multiple dwellings would
increase the traffic through the area and would be detrimental to the adjacent
property owners.
F. Molina urged the City Council to approve the rezoning for multiple housing
development.
W. Owens objected to anyone requesting that the City Council deny the rezoning
on the basis of proposed tenants for this area. He also felt that the proposed
development would not add to the traffic on either Los Osos Road or Madonna Road.
P. Dyer disagreed with the complaint that this proposed rezoning represents spot
zoning for multiple development. She stated that there are multiple residential
buildings in the Laguna Lake area consisting of multi -story buildings.
B. .Dodson urged rezoning as he felt that multiple residential development was a
good planning tool for property facing high speed thoroughfares to protect R -1
development.
M. A. Blank stated that she signed the petition opposing R -2 zoning as it was
her understanding that it would be rezoned to R -3 instead of R -2.

Page 5
D. Winterhalder, Executive Director of the City Housing Authority, reported that
there is no R -2, R -3 or R -4 land available at a reasonable price in the City for
development. He stated that he has personally studied this problem for at-least
six months and the Housing Authority has been forced to find reasonably priced
land that must be rezoned for development.
J. Thomas stated that the petition filed this evening with the City Council is
opposing the R -2 development and none other. He stated the first petition signed I
by the residents was objecting to any and all multiple development, but this
petition was filed to protest R -2 zoning only. 11
P. Mello asked if other multiple dwellings in the Laguna Lake area overlook
adjacent one -story residential dwellings. She objected to losing her privacy in
her backyard by having two -story buildings overlook her yard.
J. Monroe objected to multiple story buildings in an R -1 zone.
A. Dickson, 1445 Garcia, objected to the R -2 zoning on the basis of increased
traffic on Los Osos Road which travels at a fairly high speed at this time.
G. Arnett again objected to the rezoning on the basis of high speed traffic.on
Los Osos Road.
B. Wennerstrom, representing Lindero Investment Company, stated that the buildings
being designed for this planned development for R -2 zoning are designed as two -
story single family dwellings and not as apartment units.
B. Gossett stated that due to the complaints of high speed on Los Osos Road and
Madonna Road he felt that R -1 zoning would not be appropriate. "
L. Bealman, Pico Court, asked how high the buildings in the planned development
would be and if the windows in these buildings would overlook R -1 dwellings.
G. Larson designer for Lindero Investment Company, explained the proposed design
of the buildings and the plot plan and presented the elevations of the buildings
proposed for development on this property.
L. Beaumont, Pico Court, objected to the rezoning due to the elevation of the
buildings as presented in the plot plan.
A. Wiepert objected to the rezoning as it conflicted with the single family zoning
already present.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed and limited discussion to the
City Council and staff.
D. F. Romero stated, upon question, that he did not feel that the addition of 20
family units in the area would increase traffic to any great extent.
The City Council then discussed with the staff the definitions and conditions of
R -1 and R -2 zoning and the effect of planned development on such zones.
Councilman Spring stated it was his understanding when low rent housing was proposed
that it would be placed throughout the City on property which would not require
rezoning.
Councilman Miller briefed the development of the subject area with particular
emphasis on the major streets serving the area which develop into 100' wide
streets for through traffic and frontage streets to serve the residents as had
been done on Los Osos Road and Madonna Road.
He continued that he felt it is not economically feasible to build single family
dwellings on arterial streets due to high land costs and development costs. He
felt this land must be developed for higher uses; therefore, he felt that the
proposed rezoning would be good for this area and he could vote for' the rezoning.
City Council Minutes
July 22, 1969

Councilman Graham stated that he felt that the PD R -2 development requested for
this area is a good development and that the development would be good for the
area and an asset.
Councilman Spring objected to,-the rezoning as it was his understanding that the
low rent housing would be built on property already zoned for such purposes.
Councilman Blake stated he felt that high density residential is a logical
development for this property and that the planned development would protect the
residential area surrounding the property.
Mayor Schwartz stated that any property owner has the right to request rezoning
on his property and that the request normally is for higher uses and density
in order to increase its value.. He continued that under existing City ordinances
a single family dwelling could.be built to 35 feet. He stated he would 'vote
against the rezoning as he felt the proposal was against good zoning and not in
compliance with the General Plan for the area, and further the neighbors are
opposed to this change and he would support the residents of the area so as not
to put low rent tenants where they are not welcome.
Councilman Blake stated that the City voted better than two to one in favor of
low- rent.-housing and felt that the Council should support this request for
scattered low -rent developments throughout the City.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Graham, the following
ordinance was introduced and passed to print. Ordinance No. 458, an ordinance
amending the Zoning Map of the City of San Luis Obispo. Lindero Investment
Company, .1650 Los Osos Road from R -1 to PD R -2.
Passed to print on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, Myron Graham, Donald Q. Miller,
NOES: Arthur F. Spring, Kenneth E. Schwartz
ABSENT: None
8. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of
the Planning Commission totezone from PD -R -2 to R -2 -S that property located on the
east side of Hathway between Montalban and Murray, commonly known as 520 Hathway.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendations of the Planning
Commission as follows:
1. The subject property is approximately 2 acres in area and is zoned PD.;R -2
with an approved development plan for 32 multiple units at a density of one
unit per 2,790 square feet of land area.
2. The subject property is located within a small R -1 pocket, which is bounded
by an R-O District, an R -2 District, an R -C District, U: S. Freeway 101, and
the Southern Pacific Railway right -of -way. There are many good single family
homes on Ellen Way and on Hathway Street directly across from and to the south
of the subject property. However, it would be unrealistic to expect the sub-
ject property to develop as single family residential'in view of the surrounding
zone pattern..
3. The R -2 District permits a density of one unit per 2,700 sq. ft. of land area.
The'subject property under the R -2 classification could be developed with a
maximum of 32 units.
4. The "S" (design control) requires that any proposed site layout, landscaping
and building design be submitted to the Planning Commission for use permit
.approval.
5. The requested rezoning is in accordance with the General Plan's recommenda-
tions for this area.
6.- It was the consensus of the Commission that the requested R -2 -S zoning pro-
vided for the same density and development control as the present PD R -2
classification.

Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
L. Bla'ser, developer, appeared before the City Council urging that the Council
rezone the property to R -2 -S for the development of .20 single family units.
Mayor Schwartz explained the implications of the "S" classification in the R -2
zoning requested.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Spring, the following
ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 457, an ordinance amending the Official
Zone Map of the City of San Luis Obispo. (Rezone from PD R =2 to R -2 -S that
property located at 520 Hathway Avenue.)

9. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to rezone from R -1 to R -2 that property located-in the
rear of the 2500 block of Broad Street between Caudill and Mitchell Streets.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendations of the Planning
Commission as follows:
1. The subject property is landlocked in that it cannot be developed without
access through contiguous R -2 property.
2. The Commission initiated this rezoning application in order to adjust the
zone boundary so that the subject property could be developed in conjunction with
the R -2 property fronting on Broad Street.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Blake, the following ordinance
was introduced. Ordinance No. 456, an ordinance amending the Official Zone Map of

10. At this time, the City Council held a public hearing on the appeal of
Charles Delmartini from a denial by the Planning Commission of his requested
rezoning of that property located at 374,390, 393, 400, 424 Foothill Blvd., 125,
142, 144 Tassajara Avenue; 111, 123, 140, 141 Cuesta Dr., from R -1 to R -0.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendations of the Planning
Commission as follows:
1. The applicant has requested that 10 lots located on the north side of Foothill
Boulevard at the intersections of Cuesta and Tassajara be rezoned from R =l to R -O.
City Council Minutes
July 22, 1969
Page 8
2. The'parcels proposed to be rezoned are predominately developed with single
family residences with the exception of a parcel--at the northeast corner of
Tassajara and Foothill which is vacant, and a parcel at the northwest corner of
Tassajara and Foothill which is developed with a single family residence which
has been converted to multiple units.
3. The subject property is contiguous to an existing R -3 District which is only
partially developed for multiple family use. There is a large R -3 district on
the south side of Foothill Boulevard to the east which is vacant.
4. Several neighboring. property owners spoke in opposition to the rezoning.
Opposition was based on traffic and noise that would be generated by uses per-
mitted in the R -0 District and the fact that multiple story structures would be
detrimental to adjoining single family residences.
5. Several of the Commissioners were of the opinion that those parcels located
east of Tassajara Drive with frontage on Foothill Boulevard should be rezoned
to R -0; however, it was the consensus of the Commission that the request for
rezoning was premature.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
C. Delmartini appeared before the City Council stating that this property could
not.be developed while zoned R -1 as no one would build single family dwellings on
such a high speed street as Foothill Blvd, and felt that the only way this property
could be•.developed would-be to have it rezoned for higher use. He continued that
he has applied for this rezoning several times in the past and that each time it
has been turned down for being premature, but he felt that now there is no reason
why this rezoning should be held up as it is contiguous to other higher uses and
he felt it is the only way this property could be developed.
Mrs. Campbell, Foothill Blvd., urged that all the property on.Foothill be rezoned
to' R-3 or higher use and she would recommend approval of Mr. Delmartini's request
and she hoped the City Council would zone.the property across the street from this
property to a higher use also.
Mr. Dikes, 22. Tassajara, opposed the rezoning for commercial use on the south
side of Foothill Boulevard.
R. Wilcox, Elm Court, objected to the rezoning appeal on the basis that if the
north side of Foothill Boulevard is rezoned to higher use then the City would have
to follow and allow the same use for zoning on the south side which would be a_
detriment to the adjoining single family residences. He requested that the City
Council hold the line on high density use on Foothill and urged that the vacant
land easterly be developed before rezoning more property to multiple use.
Mrs. Genthner, 15 Elm Court, objected to the rezoning on the basis that, if the
north side of Foothill is rezoned to higher use, then the south side would naturally
follow and these buildings would encroach onto the single family property.
Mr. Slaughter, 167 Cuesta, objected to the rezoning on the basis of increased
traffic in the area and to protect the single family residences on the south side
of Foothill Blvd. He also suggested that the Council not allow further develop-
ment in this area until the drainage proplem.in this area has been cleared up.
R. L. Franzone, 29 Elm Court, objected to the rezoning and hoped-that-the City
Council would stop multiple development in this area.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Mayor Schwartz stated he felt that this request was premature and that the area
in question is developing in R -1 uses. Also he felt the creek was a good buffer
with all the multiple development east of the creek and the single family dwellings
west of the creek. He stated he would support the recommendation of the Planning
Commission. Further, he stated that he was opposed to the suggestion that all
major streets should be zoned for commercial development as this would be strip
zoning.
Councilman Miller felt that this request is a matter of economics as he felt that
no property on a major street would or should be developed for single family dwel-
lings. He felt that all major streets should be zoned for higher density; therefore
he would vote for this rezoning.

Councilman Spring stated he was opposed to this rezoning as he felt that'the
request was premature to development.
Councilman Blake stated that he was opposed to the rezoning as he felt it was
premature and he also felt that the creek was a logical buffer between R -1 and
other higher uses. Also, he felt that a major drainage program shourd_be
initiated before increasing the density in the'area. "
Councilman Graham, stated he felt that the request might be premature but that
as the property had the "S" classification,' the City would have control over'
the development. "
On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Blake, the appeal of
Charles Delmartini was denied on the following roll call vote:

12. R. D. Young, Planning Director, reported that the estimated cost of in-
stalling a sprinkler system on the south side of San Luis Creek in the Mission

because of the plantings recently placed in this area.
L. Wilson, Park Supervisor, stated the estimated cost of landscaping the
same area in the Mission Plaza would be $150.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, the staff was
authorized to purchase the necessary materials for the sprinkler system and
landscaping.

R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, concurred in the recommendation of
Miss Clark that the City-not participate in this suit.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, the Council
accepted the recommendations of the Librarian and the Administrative Officer,and
