Continued from 4:00 p.m. Council meeting. Consideration of a resolution denying Minor Subdivision No. 78 -86, located at 1425 Woodside Drive, Hacienda Hospital, Inc., subdivider. Mayor Cooper asked if anyone wished to speak to the resolution. No one appeared before the City Council. On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilwoman Billig, the follow- ing resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3887 (1979 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo denying approval of Tentative Minor Subdivision No. 78 -86, Hacienda Hospital, applicant. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Billig, Bond, Dunin and Mayor Cooper NOES: None ABSENT: None 11. The City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to consider a Level I, Ordinance No. 604 -A, Water Fire Flow Deficiency in conjunction with Minor Subdivision No. 79 -085, a request to create two lots from one lot, 2231 Santa Ynez Avenue, R -1 zone, John King, subdivider. . Jerry Kenny, Engineering Associate, on behalf of the Community Development Department, stated that the applicant was processing a lot split in an area where substandard fire flows existed. Ordinance No. 604 -A required a Planning Commission report in such cases, a hearing and a recommendation from the City Council of mitigating measures. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council should proceed with capital improvement project to provide a new 8" water line between the Slack Street water tank in Buena Vista Drive at Paso Robles Drive in order to improve the firefighting capability for the entire Monterey Heights area. The Commission unanimously interpreted the ordinance to allow for an exception to the requirement for a fire hydrant tie -in to the 6" main in San Miguel as recommended by staff. The recommendation that the Planning Commission had made urged the Council to proceed with the water main tie -in between the Slack Street tank and the Buena Vista Drive in order to improve firefighter capabilities for the entire area. This was transmitted as a mitigating measure in order to remove the deficiency as recommended by the Utilities Engineer Superintendent. The Fire Marshal had asked for 1,000 gallons per minute fire flow which was a normal requirement for single family dwellings. With the installation of the new 8" diameter main as recommended, the existing fire hydrant at the intersection of Santa Ynez and San Miguel would be capable of providing the necessary flow but since the hydrant was connected to a 4" diameter main it was considered substandard and should be connected to the 6" diameter main in San Miguel. The Planning Commission did not include this requirement for fire hydrant modification by_the subdivider ' in their recommendation. They felt the ordinance exempted the project. The staff felt that even though the properties were in the only subdivision, it was now being resubdivided creating a new parcel requiring reporting procedure under the 604 -A ordinance. Staff also felt that they had determined that lot line adjustments do not require the 604 -A procedures nor would single family building projects on existing lots of record. However, this was not the case. Realistically, the addition of a new residence on a proposed parcel would not significantly increase the burden on city resources. However, the ordinance must be adhered to. The ordinance required the reporting procedure but the Council may find that no action was required. Lee Walton, Administrative Officer, said that after reviewing the matter with staff, he felt he had to agree with the Commission that it did not require installation since the alignment posed no greater burden on city facilities. Mayor Cooper.opened the public hearing. John King.,.applicant, spoke in.support of the Planning Commission's recommend- ation to not require installation of the hydrant but rather the city put these inadequate water lines into the City's CIP for future improvement to the fire- fighting capabilities of the entire area and not expect one small lot split to improve services for the entire neighborhood. I Mayor Cooper.closed the public hearing. On motion of Councilman Bond, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and allow an exception to the requirement for a fire hydrant tie -in to the 6" main in San Miguel as recommended by staff. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Bond, D.unin and Mayor Cooper NOES: Councilmembers Billig and Jorgensen ABSENT: None 12. The City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to consider an amendment to Section 9200.31 of the Municipal Code, Tourist - Commercial (C -T) zone to change the parking requirements for offices. Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that this was a city initiated amendment to the zoning regulations which was brought to the Commission's attention when they considered a use permit for an office in the C -T zone in April. The Commission wondered why offices in the C -T zone had a different parking requirement.than those in other zones. They recommended that the regulation should be.amended to require one space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area, the same as the other zones. He continued that the figure of 200 sq. ft., the pres� requirement, was not a typographaical error. All the city ordinances since the basic set.of regulations were first adopted contained this figure. It must hav been a.deliberate choice because the text reads: "One space /200 sq. ft. office space ", while in other zones, the requirement is "One space /300 sq. ft." He stated that the Planning Department had interpretation problems with parking requirements - -were they for net or gross area? Apparently, the original.intent, though.there was no obvious reason for it, was to relate parking spaces to gross floor-area within office buildings in other zones and to.relate parking to net area actually used as office space in the C -T zone (formerly R -C). Since the parking requirement column in the charts was now headed "Gross Areas ", it made sense to.express.all ratios in the same terms. Finally, he stated that maybe when the ordinance was first written, the authors had in mind combinations of uses in the C -T zone because the wording was similar to other zones which had separate requirements, for example, for sales area and offices within auto sales and repair businesses. Staff recommended that the parking requirement for offices be changed from one space for each 200 /sq. ft. of office space to one parking space for each 300 /sq. ft. office space. Mayor.Cooper opened the.public hearing. No.one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposal. Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed. The City Council discussed the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff.and felt that retaining.the higher standard for office parking in the C -T zone would serve the City objective of discouraging offices in this district. On motion of Councilwoman Billig, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, that no change be made in the ordinance for parking requirements for offices in the C -T zone. Motion carried, all ayes. 13. On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the public hearing to consider adoption of the 1979 -1980 City budget was continued to July 10, 1979. Motion carried. City Council Minutes July 3, 1979 - 7:30 p.m. Page 4 14. The City Council-considered the final passage of Ordinance No. 812 (1979 Series), an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo adding Section 4226,11 to-the-Municipal Code, Article IV, Chapter 2 to provide rules for the use of Mission Plaza. Mayor Cooper declared.the public hearing open. No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposed ordinance. Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed. ' On motion of Councilman-Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, Ordinance No. 812 was introduced for final passage. Finally adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Bond, Billig, Dunin and Mayor Cooper NOES: None 15. The City Council considered a communication from Steven R. Nelson, Chairman of the Housing Authority, regarding Council action of possible develop- ment for 18 units (HUD funded) for low income housing on city -owned property on South Higuera Street behind the Eagles Lodge. Rich Chubon, Executive Director of the Housing Authority, stated that the funds in question were.the first funds that they had been able to obtain since 1969. With the remaining funds for 18 units, they would like to start con- struction in order not to lose them. If they could not locate a site, they would have to return the funds.to HUD in-August, 1979. The Housing Authority felt the only site that had any chance in meeting the August deadline was the city -owned property on South Higuera Street behind the Eagles Lodge. The Housing Authority realized that were problems with the site but they felt the site was good for housing and the only alternative available for 18 units of public housing. He reminded the Council of the great-need for low income housing in San Luis Obispo and hoped that the Council would-cooperate with this proposal. He con- cluded his comments by saying that there was no place to go in the city if the city did not declare this or some other land owned by the_city available to them or possibly without annexation. He suggested that the City Council may wish to write a letter to HUD telling them of the problem of having land available and asking HUD to extend the deadline for part of the project until some land had been provided. Also, he hoped that the city would be willing to trade some city -owned property, possibly with a private developer, for the authority to go ahead and develop their land. Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that-earlier this year while considering a request by a radio station to locate a transmitter on the city -owned property, the Council had asked the staff to investigate potential future use of the property, including housing. As the land was not surplus, according to.the Public Services Department, no definite decision was made. He felt the City.was not in a position to declare this site surplus nor would it be advisable to-establish a housing project at this location. He continued that as indicated-in his June 20 memorandum from D.F. Romero, the city had not formally determined whether the new corporation yard should go and this site was still a possibility. The sooner the decision was made to locate the yard at the sewage plant site, the question would become one of desirability locating housing downwind from the plant between the Eagles Lodge and a mobile home court across the street from the proposed first stage of the South Higuera Commerce Park. He stated that notwithstanding the need for this type of housing and the desirability of taking advantage of a grant opportunity, he felt this wasn't the place to locate the property. D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, again urged the Council to reject this site for possible housing whether for HUD development or private housing due to the proximity of the housing area to the sewer plant. He stated that while the plant normally ran without any odors, there was always that possibility and with the prevailing winds from Los Osos Valley, it would blow into these homes which would make additional problems for the city. He urged the Council not to allow this to be developed for housing. City Council Minutes July 3, 1979 - 7:30 p.m. Page 5 On motion of .Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilwoman Billig, that the City Council reject this site for.HUD housing as it was not suitable for housing and as the City had not adequate surplus land at this time, the Mayor be author- ized to write a letter to HUD asking for an extension of time with the staff to look for other sites for developments of these 18 units. Motion carried, 5 -0. Councilman Dunin stated that he felt bad about the possible loss of these HUD funds and felt that the City would be to blame in not providing land for expan- sion for development of all types of housing although he felt it was a good I idea not to build at this particular location. There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Council adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m., to 12:10 p.m., Thursday, July 5, 1979.
