6. At this time the City Council considered the revised Environmental
Impact Procedures and Guidelines.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the Environmental
Impact Procedures and Guidelines had been amended as recommended by the
Planning Commission and City Council. The main change was that the
Community Development Director would be responsible for determining when
an EIR should be prepared or when a negative declaration should be granted.
Aside from this major change, there were just A few minor housekeeping changes
that the staff felt should be corrected.
Henry Engen then reviewed these few minor changes:
Page 14, paragraph 2, this paragraph clarifies who is responsible for
preparing EIRs.
Page 14, paragraph 3, clarifies under what circumstances an applicant would
be required to submit information to the City.
Page.17 and.18. paragraphs A, B,-and C, the.appeals section of the EIR
guidelines had been rewritten. The new.section would allow any person at
least two opportunities to appeal the decision of the Community Development
Director.
Page 26, paragraph J,- .clarifies how a supplementary EIR would.be prepared.
Page 28, includes_Ior the first tilde definitions for "advisory body" and
"decision - making body."

7. Final acceptance of Tract 687, Exposition Park Unit 1, was continued
as the final inspection..as.of that.date showed several incomplete items.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the matter
was continued. Motion carried.
8. Final acceptance of Tract No. 727, Peachwo.od Condominiums, was
requested to be continued as the final inspection as of that date showed
several incomplete items.
On motion.of Councilman.Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the matter
was continued for final inspection. Motion.carried.
9. At this time the City Council considered a request from the
Business Improvement Area . that.the City Council allow parking meters to be
covered on Saturdays-for free parking for shoppers in areas not fully used
on Saturdays in the vicinity of the Courthouse, City Hall and a professional
office area.on Pacific Street under the provisions of Ordinance No. 811
which was recently adopted.
The B.I.A. proposed that this be approved to publicize the fact that -these
areas would be available for parking with no feeding of the meter and that
any work that had to be done, such as covering the meters, would be handled
by the Business Improvement Area.or by the City, reimbursed by the B.I.A.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director,-stated that a Saturday survey conducted
by the Police Department found the average of 81 cars per hour parked within
the area requested to be included for.free parking. The survey did not
include Osos Street between Monterey and Marsh which is generally fully
occupied on Saturdays.
He continued that assuming this average holds true for a typical Saturday
' between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and -a" meters are properly paid, the
Free Parking - proposal would result in daily revenue loss of $28.35, or
$1,474 if continued for a full year. Also, the staff anticipates consid-
erable problems with paper sacks being pulled from the meters, with littering,
with sacks transferred to other meters not included in the program, with
sacks being taken by individuals and used on other days of the week. All
of these would create enforcement problems for the meter maids.
It was his recommendation that the problems inherent with the program are
greater than the.potential benefit and--recommend that.the request be denied.
In the opinion of staff, a City policy on Saturday non - enforcement in the
area included in the request and a.BIA publicity program would be more
effective.
Lee Walton, City Administrative Officer, recommended that no bags be used,
that this would.be an intolerable chore for either the BIA or the City;
but he felt that if the - Council proceeded with this program, that decals
should be placed on the subject meters where the coins are inserted and
allow the public to understand the rules and the time of enforcement. He
also felt that even that if the parking fees are eliminated, that the red
zone, yellow zone, and the parking limit should still be enforced.
On motion'of'Councilman Bond,.seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the City
Council approve the request in the areas amended by--the city staff for a
six -month trial program with the staff to prepare the proper resolutions
for implementation, ordering the necessary decals, etc.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Bond, Dunin, Billig, Jorgensen, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Dave Romero requested-Council clarification as to whether the Council wished
continued enforcement of time limits in the area of the trial program. It
was the concensus of the Council that the time limits should continue to be
enforced.

12. At this time the City Council considered the recommendation of
the.Planning Commission to approve the tentative map for Minor Subdivision
No. 79 -08 to create two Tots from one lot (deep lot subdivision) at 2761
Johnson.Avenue, R -1 zone, subject to four findings and 13 conditions and
four exceptions, Kenneth Smee, subdivider.
Henry Engen,. Community Development Director, listed the exceptions as follow,
stating that -the following lot size and area exceptions were approved by
the Planning Commission based upon the following findings: -
1. Lot 1 - 96' average depth where 120' is normally required.
2. Lot 2 - 7374 square foot -area exclusive of access. driveway, where
8500 square foot area is normally required.
3. Lot 2 - 107' average depth where 120' is normally required.
4. Lot 2 - 69' average width where 70' is normally required.
Henry Engen stated that the Planning Commission.granted the exceptions subject
to conditions which assured.that the adjustments authorized did not constitute
a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other
properties in the -same vicinity. Also, because of special circumstances,
notably the shape and topography of the property, the strict literal applica-
tion of the subdivision ordinance would deprive the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity.. Under.the.circumstances of
this particular case, the variances requested carry-out the spirit and intent
of the subdivision ordinance.
On motion.of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3921 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of.the City of San Luis Obispo granting approval of tentative
minor subdivision no. 79 -08 located at 2761 Johnson Avenue, subject to
findings, exceptions, and conditions listed.

14. . At this time the City Council held- a.public hearing on-Resolution
No. 3894 (1979 Series), :a resolution of intention to abandon a portion of
Garden Street between High and Broad Streets.
Ken.Bruce, Senior Planner, stated.that most--of-the right -of+ by requested
to be abandoned would-serve no usefull City purposes.and should be abandoned.
The portion-of the right -of -way that would revert to the City should be given
or offered for sale.to adjacent property-owners.
He stated that in abandoning a street right -of -way, half-the right -of -way
reverts to adjacent property owners. In.this.case, there are three property
owners.on.the easterly side and one property owner -.(the City) on the westerly
side. The staff felt the entire right -of -way should go to the adjacent
owners on the east side.. The Council also had the following option:
1. Retain one -half of the right- ofsily as City property.
2. Sell this one -half of right- of +ily to adjacent property owners.
3. Give this-one-half of right -of -way to adjacent property owners.

He continued that because.of the small size of the property, the only suitable
use of that property was if it were attached to adjacent properties to the
east. If the property was sold or given to the adjacent owners, staff would
recommend two conditions:
1. A parcel map (minor subdivision) be required that would reflect new
property boundaries.
2. The adjacent owners sign a covenant agreement stating they agree to I
install new frontage improvements at the Broad Street plan line, if
and when Broad Street is ever widened.
Mayor Cooper.declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the abandonment.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3931 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo finding that a portion of
Garden Street,.between High and Broad Streets, is no longer needed for
street purposes and abandoning same.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Bond, Billig, Dunin, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, that the
City staff be directed to prepare the necessary documents for.Council ,
consideration to transfer the City -owned portion of the abandonment to the
adjacent property owners. Motion carried.
15. At this.time the City Council held a.public hearing on the request
of the residents of the area bounded by Grand Avenue, Fredericks Street,
Monterey Street, Bond Street, Hathway Avenue, and Slack Street, for the
City Council to initiate a preferential residential parking program in
their neighborhood under the provisions of Ordinance No. 810, adopted
June 19, 1979.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, reviewed the progress to date on this pro-
posal for preferential parking in the area. He stated with the adoption
of an ordinance establishing such districts, it allows the City Council
to adopt a resolution establishing.individual districts which would limit
parking to those vehicles registered to or controlled and exclusively used
by persons residing in the area or their visitors. It would establish the
hours and days of restriction and the cost for the various stickers.
He concluded that the staff would recommend a limitation of 9:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for holidays, that the area be
posted with signs to indicate the restriction, that the finance department
be authorized to issue permits for-one years duration, that the residential
permit be $5 and that each additional residential permit be $10 and the fee
for two guest parking permits would be $5 each per year.
The City Council discussed with the staff some of the recommendations for
adoption if.the preferential parking area is.adopted.
Mayor Cooper.declared the public hearing open.
Sherri Lewis, 209 Longview Lane, stated that she was opposed to the proposal
and thought it was unnecessary. She felt there was sufficient parking
available there now in front of the people's homes and she was opposed to
fees to park in front of your own home.

Tom Shuman, Cal Poly Instructor, stated he was opposed to the proposal as he
felt it discriminated against one segment of the City's population, namely
students and faculty at the University. He also felt it was an unfair
proposal as no other part of the City has these restrictions.
Alfred Born stated he supported the resolution for the safety of residents
in the neighborhood and urged that the resolution be adopted but that the
limits be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Terry Conner, 215 Albert Drive, stated that he was in support of the adoption
of the resolution for safety reasons, due to high usage of residence streets
with students and employees racing to work and class at the University. He
also reviewed street widths, etc. and stated there was no protection for
pedestrians in the area.
Ned Rogoway, 159 Albert Drive, supported-adoption of the parking plan and
urged adoption in order to protect the residents of the neighborhood. He
questioned the need for the City to charge for the permits. He felt that
after the signs were up, there would be very little need for enforcement. He
' felt that if the City must levy a fee, then the permit fee must be equitable
for each car and no increase on the second fee. He felt this fee was unfair
as no other area in town must pay for parking in front of their home.
C.H. Gregory, 213 Albert Drive, was in support of the preferential parking
resolution in order to have a place to park in front of his home.
Charles Andrews, 212 Albert Drive, was in support of the preferential parking
proposal in order to allow residents to park in front of their homes. He felt
the University would support this plan in order to show need to increase
parking on campus.
Andrew Renetsky, 111 Kentucky Street, was in support of the proposed parking
program, including the proposed fee schedule. He did not feel that this
program is opposed to students or faculty but is a program to allow the
residents to enjoy their homes and to allow visitors to park in the area.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Dunin stated he was in support of the proposed parking program.
He did not feel it was anti Poly.or anti student, but that it was being
enacted to allow residents to use their property. He would support a time
limit of 8:00 a.m.-to 5:00 p.m, and would support the same fee for each
car.
' Councilwoman Billie supported the parking program. She felt that she would
support the neighborhoods request and that the program should be supported
by fees and also that it should be for a one -year trial period to see if it
is effective.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that he had reservations in adopting this program
but he would support it for a one -year trial basis in this area only and not
other parts of the City. He also felt it was not anti student but just
supportive of the property owners in the area.
Councilman Bond stated that he was opposed to the proposal and felt that it
would not solve the problem but rather move the parking somewhere else. He
was also opposed to the fee, but he would support the resolution if the resi-
dents really wanted it.
Henry Case, 244 Albert Drive, stated that he was in.support.of the prefer-
ential parking in their neighborhood. He supported the ban from 8:00 a.m.
to 3:00 p.m. on school days as it is now impossible for the property owners
in the area to park in front of or near their homes due to all the curb
parking being-taken up by students and faculty at Cal Poly. He submitted,
for the Council's information, a parking sketch of Cal Poly showing that
the University has tried to provide parking for its faculty and students,
but due to the location of the University parking lots, it is easier and
no cost to park on adjacent residential streets rather than park on campus.
He then reviewed the conditions as they existed'in the neighborhood at that
time and urged the Council on behalf of the petitioners to adopt a resolution
and establish a parking zone.
Tom Shuman, Cal Poly Instructor, stated he was opposed to the proposal as he
felt it discriminated against one segment of the City's population, namely

17. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the appeal
of LaVerne Schneider of an interpretation by the Planning Commission that
the property at 550 Dana Street -.the PO (professional office)
zone although the property was zoned R -3 (medium -high density, residential.)
Mrs. Schneider stated on appeal of the staff's interpretation, the Commission
determined, by a vote of 4 to 3, that the property at 550 Dana Street could ,
be interpreted to be within the PO or office designation as shown in the
general plan. The property in question is zoned medium density residential.
She stated that her appeal was submitted on the following grounds:
1. The general plan clearly shows this property to be medium high
density residential. The line was by intent established as the
original zoning boundary at the edge of the Reis Mortuary property.
City Council Minutes
August 7, 1979 - 7:30 p.m.
Page 5
2. The zoning of the property consistant with the general plan was
previously resolved after considerable study and after numerous
hearings - before both the Planning Commission and City Council.
3. The.purpose and intent of the general plan, once clearly established,
should be respected.
' She continued that Reis Chapel was zoned PO-so it could - continue as a con-
forming use. Discussion was held on the possibility of the corner property,
583 and 585 Dana Street, being changed to PO. Because of the need for
residential area in the close vicinity of the downtown area, the zone line
was set between the property in question and appropriate designation for
this area was resolved by the City Council-in December, 1978 when they adopted
the zoning now in effect setting the precise zone line between the two
properties.
She felt that if this.decision was not overturned, it would be detrimental
to the City's zone lines, land use element, as well as the land use.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the PO should be
upheld because the City Council deliberately drew the general plan and zoning
boundaries to.accommodate any existing use, the Reis Mortuary, not to open
the neighborhood to further commercial or office development. As a general
rule, where the Council has previously determined land -use designation
boundaries, the location should be retained until changed.by amendment, not
by commission interpretation.
Henry Engen continued that this is an important case.because it sets a precedent
for all the properties on or near boundaries between land-use-classifications.
This particular area became an issue during the city -wide rezoning program,
which was conducted to achieve consistency between the zoning regulations
and general plan land use element adopted January, 1977. It became one of
' the "ping -pong" items that went back and forth between the Planning Commission
and City Council. The question of appropriate designations for this area
was resolved by the City Council in December, 1978, when the zoning now in
effect was adopted.
He then reviewed areas where interpretations could be used,.but where definite
lines have been set, interpretations should not and could not be used.
Finally, he stated that the general plan has been approved by the Commission
and City Council in detail at the general plan and zoning hearings and none
of the exceptional conditions were allowed at that time when the line was set
between the Duneow property and the Reis Mortuary. He recommended that the
appeal be upheld.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Vic Montgomery spoke in general terms of the Planning Commission being allowed
to interpret boundaries of land use in the general plan. He felt the general
plan was just that, a general plan and not a specific zoning map.
Bruce Dodson, planner representing the property owner, reviewed his client's
attempts to have this property put to beneficial use for office purposes.
He stated that he felt the issue was one of allowing a general plan line
taking precedence over zoning lines. He asked that the matter be continued
to allow the property owner to appeal on his behalf on this matter. He felt
' the idea of bringing up the general plan was purely extraneous and had
nothing to do with the subject.
Charles Andrews, Chairman of the .Planning Commission, reviewed the Planning
Commission action not only on this subject matter but in others in determining
the location of general plan lines in a number of instances during the general
plan hearings. Many, such as the Reis Mortuary property line, were definitely
outlined by the Council and Planning Commission and the Council should uphold
the appeal.

Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Jorgensen reviewed the past history of this particular property
because during a number of public hearings before the Planning Commission
and Council, the zone line of the Reis property was specifically drawn by
the Council in order to clarify the action they wished in this area.
On motion of Councilman Bond, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen., that the City '
Council uphold the appeal of LaVerne Schneider.

18. At this time the City Council considered a tentative map to create

ings, exceptions, and conditions, John King, subdivider.
J.H. Fitzpatrick, City Clerk, informed the City Council that just before
closing time that day, he had received a call.from Mr. King stating that

better way to approach the development of this property.

was denied without prejudice.
