DISCUSSION
Report in Brief
In the summer of 2018, RRM Design Group (RRM) was hired to prepare a Preliminary Design
for the Mission Plaza Restroom Replacement and Cafe Project. This scope of work was
identified in the Mission Plaza Concept Plan and was advanced as an independent project for
financial reasons.
Since 2018, City staff has meet with stakeholders and commissions to receive input on the
project's scope and design intent and worked with RRM to produce the Preliminary Plan Set
being presented to Council at this time.
Upon Council review of the Preliminary Plan Set, staff is asking for clarity regarding next steps
required to complete the preliminary design phase and begin the preparation of construction
documents.
Background
2013-15 Financial Plan - In the 2013-15 Financial Plan, the City funded a project to facilitate
community engagement regarding the existing and future use of the Mission Plaza. This 24-
month effort included sixty-two stakeholder meetings, two Mission Plaza community workshops
and two "Creative Vision Team" meetings and resulted in the creation of the "Mission Plaza
Concept Plan" (Concept Plan) (Attachment A).

Item 15
June 23, 2015 — Council appropriated $80,000 toward the initial design phase of the restroom
replacement, to be coordinated with the Mission Plaza Concept Plan work that was currently
underway at the time.
June 20, 2017 — Council adopted the 2017-19 Financial Plan Budget, which appropriated
$25,000 in FY2018 to support additional conceptual design phase work on the Mission Plaza
Restroom Replacement and Enhancement, which indicated that a new structure would be
constructed that included a restroom and a caf6.
September S, 2017 — In a public hearing for the Mission Plaza Concept Plan, Council directed
staff to move forward with the restroom and caf6 area and look for ways to incorporate historic
concepts as well as to increase bike parking.
June of 2018 - the City hired RRM to prepare a "Preliminary Site Plan" (Attachment B) to
advance the conceptual design of a restroom and caf6.
June 4, 2019 - Community members asked Council to direct City staff to augment the original
scope of the project by including the restoration and repurposing of the Murray Adobe. Council
directed staff to continue the project without including any specific Murray Adobe
improvements.
June 4, 2019 — Council adopted the 2019-21 Financial Plan Budget, which appropriated $45,000
in FY2019, and $150,000 in FY2020 to support design progress and environmental reports
necessary for project development.
Summary of Preliminary Site Plan Improvements
The Preliminary Site Plan represents the implementation of portions of the Mission Plaza
Concept Plan and is intended to be the first phase in the Concept Plan's implementation. For this
reason, the proposed restroom and caf6 are located and designed such that future Concept Plan
implementation is not impeded or constrained.
The Mission Plaza Concept Plan design features implemented include:
1. Increasing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility around the Mission Plaza
restrooms and Murray Adobe patio area.
2. Activating the Mission Plaza with a proposed food vendor.
3. Removing the existing trellis on the Murray Adobe's patio area.
4. Planning for Public Art locations.
5. Increasing restroom capacity; the proposed restroom floor plan increase capacity by 50%.
6. Improving lighting.
7. Improving signage including wayfinding maps.
8. Improving lines of sight; for improved lighting and unobstructed views into Plaza area of
use.
9. Providing seating for dining.

Item 15
Policy Context
The Mission Plaza Restroom Replacement, Cafe and Murray Adobe Improvements project is
consistent with the Major City Goal of Downtown Vitality. The project supports this City goal
by activating a public space, increasing safety of the plaza, and providing locations for future
public art installations.t.
Public Engagement and Advisory Body Input
October 29, 2018 Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC)
In October 2018, staff presented to the CHC the intent and scope of the restroom replacement
design effort and received feedback regarding the project plan. An outgrowth was the formation
group of interested community members and CHC members.
June 4, 2019 Presentation to Council by Community Members.
Staff attended several meetings and brainstorming sessions with this group during which time
they proposed alternative ideas for Mission Plaza's future, different from the Council adopted
Concept Plan. This included reconstructing a clapboard section of the Murray Adobe that was
demolished in the early 1970's and constructing the new restroom adjacent to the History Center
in the City owned parking lot. This group presented these concepts at the June 4, 2019 Council
meeting. Council did not to deviate from the approved Concept Plan and directed City staff to
continue working on the project with the restroom to be replaced at its current location as noted
in the Concept Plan.
August 7, 2019 Parks and Recreations Commission (PRC)
On August 7, 2019 (Attachment C) staff presented the Preliminary Site Plan to the PRC.
Although the primary goal of the presentation was to receive general feedback regarding site
plan; the commissioners all recommended that a food truck option or temporary mobile food
facilities be considered due to the flexibility it would allow for use of the space. Proposed ideas
to activate the area also included: small art and musical shows, workshops for children and
public readings, and the addition of bike racks to promote the space.
Included in the presentation to the PRC was statistical information regarding Mission Plaza event
attendance. This data was used to illustrate the continued need for temporary restroom facilities
at events. The proposed restroom shown on the plan set provides a total stall count increase of
50% which was considered to be adequate for daily use by the PRC.
' 4.10. Open Places and Views the City shall enhance the Downtown to include carefully located open places where
people can rest and enjoy views of the surrounding hills; and outdoor spaces where people are completely separated
from vehicle traffic, in addition to Mission Plaza. Opportunities include extensions of Mission Plaza, a few new
plazas, and selected street closures.
Packet Page 135
Item 15
October 7, 2019 (Attachment D & F) Architectural Review Commission (ARC)
When staff presented the Preliminary Site Plan to the ARC and the following highlights was
given.
1. Come up with a Master Plan to activate the area.
2. Remove the existing lawn area and move the caf6 closer to the sidewalk to relieve the
pinching -points near the restroom.
3. Opposed to food trucks in the plaza due to size constraints. Also keeping the look and feel of
the future Sculpture Gardens in mind.
4. The commission is supportive of highlighting local food truck vendors.
5. Architecture of the proposed cafe and restrooms needs more work in terms of what might
work better with the color and ornamentation of the surrounding buildings. Lighten colors.
6. In consideration of all the events held in the plaza throughout the year, the commission thinks
the size and layout of the caf6 would be a good addition to the space.
7. Look for other ways to tie the caf6 and restrooms into the context of the neighborhood,
without mimicking the design of existing buildings.
8. The commission is excited about the area becoming a cultural centerpiece and would like this
to be a contemporary contribution, honoring the historical significance of the area.
October 28, 2019 CHC (Attachment E)
On October 28, 2019 staff presented the Preliminary Site Plan to the CHC.
Highlights of the CHC comments included:
1. Dark color is an ominous green, a lighter color may be better.
2. Appreciated design for safety.
3. The buildings are attractive but don't look like San Luis Obispo.
4. Love to see the opportunity to tie in with the historic nature of the area.
5. Either the Murray Adobe or the Heyd Adobe could become a caf6.
6. Like the patio and outline of what was there.
7. Maybe a mural that tells the story of the area.
8. Murray Adobe should be part of the project.
QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION
At this study session Council will receive a summary presentation of this report, hear input from
the public, and provide feedback to staff regarding next steps if any. In providing feedback to
staff, below are a series of questions that Council may want to use to guide that discussion.
Question #1 — Do Council Members prefer the stand-alone cafe or a site which provides
accommodations for mobile food operations such as a food truck or trailer (a la a tiny home)?
As noted in the summaries above, the City advisory body's input was mixed with the PRC
preferring providing accommodations for mobile food vending so that the facility could be used
as flexibly as possible and because of concerns about business viability in that location. Both the
ARC and CHC members focused discussions on the location of Mission Plaza as the cultural and
historical center of the City and a desire for a permanent caf6 facility.
Packet Page 136
Item 15
Food Trucks: An Alternative to a permanent Cafe Structure
In researching park cafes, staff identified concerns regarding the long-term economic feasibility
of a stand-alone cafe. Typically, stand-alone cafes require high pedestrian traffic and are only
viable in larger metropolitan areas. This concern was echoed by members of the Park's and
Recreations Commission (PRC), who suggested that the Preliminary Site Plan be designed to
accommodate a mobile food vendor instead of a cafe.
In response to the PRC comments, staff directed RRM to prepare a site plan that could
accommodate food trucks operating in -lieu of a cafe in Mission Plaza for special events or
during high visitor seasons or weekends. This design was incorporated into the plan set and
presented to the ARC and the CHC alongside the original plan which included the cafe. Both the
ARC and CHC strongly discouraged mobile food vendors from operating on the plaza citing
space constraints and lack of control over the aesthetics of food trucks and the likely conflict
with the "look and feel" of the plaza.
Lastly, staff reached out to the business community with the goal of receiving feedback on the
potential to attract a food vendor in the plaza. The result was three separate members of the
business community agreed to an informal discussion of what was being considered and all
expressed interest in the cafe idea. In either form, a cafe or mobile food vendor would activate
the area in a positive way which has been shown to discourage negative behaviors.
Question #2 — What input do Council Members have on the design and look and feel of the
restroom, site improvements and stand-alone cafe or mobile food accommodations?
The PRC did not comment on the aesthetics of structures as that is not their purview but did
confirm that the size of the restroom was adequate for day-to-day use regardless of cafe
operations. Other comments they had focused on the use of the site improvements and desired
activation of the space.
RRM's original design used darker materials on the restroom and cafe, and the ARC and CHC
both suggested that a lighter color palate be implemented on the structures presented in the
original RRM design. These revisions were made by RRM and are being presented to Council at
this time for further input and discussion.
Question #3 — Does Council concur with the next steps outlined below or does it want an
alternative process?
Following the Study Session, staff will incorporate comments from the Council into the project
scope and return to the CHC and the ARC. Both advisory bodies will be asked to provide a
formal recommendation to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will provide
final review of the project that incorporates Council direction and advisory body input. The
Planning Commission action will also include all associated environmental review
documentation and act to issue any required land use permits. Staff anticipated that the
environmental review would result in requiring an initial study.
Packet Page 137
Item 15
CONCURRENCE
The Parks and Recreations and the Administrative Departments are both in concurrence with the
project and recommendations of this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15306, no
environmental review is required to conduct the Project Plan and Study Session under CEQA.
Once the project scope has been finalized, City staff will determine the appropriate level of
environmental review to be prepared in support of the final action on the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Mission Plaza Restroom project is funded in the 2019-21 Financial Plan on page E2-3 for
design and environmental review. Construction funding is planned for fiscal year 2022-23 and
will be presented to Council for consideration in the future 2021-23 Financial Plan.

Item 15
ALTERNATIVES
Council could direct City staff not to continue advancing the design of the Restroom and Cafe as
presented in the Preliminary plans. This is not recommended due to the many ways in which this
project helps fulfill the Major City Goal of Downtown Vitality.

Parks and Recreation Committee Minutes for August 7, 2019
Commissioner Comment
Commissioner Applegate: Who will manage the food trucks onsite and the scheduling. Is the
food truck area in the middle of adobe and the restroom. How is the adobe currently used.
Commissioner Stowe: What is the maximum size of an event that would require additional
porta stalls. I like the concept of the Cafe; but I do think that is a more permanent decision
and the food trucks will offer more flexibility. And will there be utilities and power for the
trucks. The sculpture garden did not show a grass area. For the active and passive recreation,
I would recommend art shows, smaller musical shows, children's workshops, and public
readings.
Director Stanwyck indicated that the sculpture garden is not part of this concept plan. This
project is the adobe wall, restroom and gazebo area. The Mission Plan overall Master Plan
will incorporate ADA improvements to the entire plaza, this would be the first step to
accomplish the ADA accessibility. The adobe is too fragile for use, and is currently used for
storage supplies for Downtown SLO and City of SLO Facilities. It is considered culturally
sensitive and will require significant historical analysis and rehabilitation.
Commissioner Thunman: It seems like by moving the building back to decrease hiding
spaces is not as important as increasing the size by one-third for higher capacity with extra
stalls. Will we have another chance for review and comment. Turnover for the cafes might
be problematic and food trucks can be more exciting. In the areas where trees will need to be
removed and replanted, I recommend the use of a structural soil for the brick areas to allow
root space.
Staff Horn responded this is the meeting for comments, but we will come back after it goes to
the other Advisory Body meetings. This meeting would be the time to give the overall
comments on the layout, concept and size.
Commissioner Webber: The 165 sq.ft. size of the proposed cafe is not feasible for onsite
facilities very limited in services; the food truck option offers more options. Is the closing of
Monterey and Broad streets part of this project.
Staff Horn indicated that the dogleg of Broad Street is not part of this project.
Commissioners all agreed and recommend on the concept of the restroom plan and the
flexibility of the food truck option, and the activation of recreation including smaller art and
musical shows, workshops for children and public readings. Please include bike racks in the
plan.

Staff presented the findings on public input received from the June 5, 2019 Community
Needs Assessment Workshop and the multiple sources that will be used to inform the Master
Plan and General Element Update. The September 2019 meeting will be focused on a park
by park list of amenities and improvements it will not be a prioritized list more of a list of
projects from the community engagement of the past year. We will ask for the PRC to
provide input and take in the public comment from the list provided on the Agenda. The
Agenda will also include a first look at the first draft of the Master Plan Vision and Goals and
Policies, and we will have some written text for you to review. This will be a more high-
level review but indicating did we miss a policy, or should we remove a policy. This will
come back to you in a more comprehensive formal review at the end of the year.
Commissioner Comment
Commissioner Applegate: At the September meeting, you will want feedback on the draft
policies and list of projects.
Commissioner Stowe: Clarification on the review of the list of projects at the parks. If we go
park by park, I will need to recuse myself during that portion of review.
Public Comment
Jeff Whitener. I am still a little skeptical of the numbers and the representation in the survey.
I do appreciate the focus on safe access to the parks and the safe connectivity needed to all
parks.

Item 15
ACTION: The Commission gave the following input for consideration:
• Look at the larger picture and come up with a Master Plan before removing structures
• Replacement of restrooms appreciated
• Missing opportunity to activate the street.
• Suggest removing the existing lawn area and making it part of the plaza; move the
cafe/kiosk closer to the sidewalk to create better opportunity to inhabit street and relieve
the pinch -points near the restroom.
• Opposed to food trucks in the plaza due to size constraints.
• Keeping the look and feel of the future Sculpture Gardens in mind.
• Food trucks could be a fad, so consider building the cafe and designating a new location
on a neighboring street where the food trucks can operate. The commission is supportive
of highlighting local food truck vendors.
• It would be helpful to have an image of the section through the proposed restroom, so the
commission can have a better feel for the layout of the area.
• Architecture of the proposed cafe and restrooms needs more work and nuance in terms of
what might work better with the color and ornamentation; the design may be too generic
and not specific enough for San Luis Obispo.
• Lighten the colors of the cafe to make it more complementary to the surrounding area.
• In consideration of all the events held in the plaza throughout the year, the commission
thinks the size and layout of the cafe would be a good addition to the space.
■ Look for other ways to tie the cafe and restrooms into the context of the neighborhood,
without mimicking the design of existing buildings.
• The commission is excited about the area becoming a cultural centerpiece and would like
this to be a contemporary contribution, honoring the historical significance of the area.
RECESS
The ARC recessed at 6: 31 p. m. and reconvened at 6: 40 p.m. with all .SRC members present.
4. Project Address: 1150 Laurel; Case #: ARCH-0505-2019, Zone: O-S, M-MU; Laurel

ACTION: MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SMITH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
PICKENS, CARRIED 6-0-1 (Commissioner Beller abstained, Commissioner Withers absent)
to recommend that the Community Development Director approve the design as presented with
the following recommendations to the applicant:
• Consider applying more of the building's design elements with the pergola and trellises to
carry out the modern theme.
• Consider replacing or redesigning the trellis rather than just painting.
• Consider providing a more detailed scrim that stands out.
5. Project Address: 1404 Auto Park Way; Case #: ARCH-0079-2019; Zone: C-S-PD;

ACTION: MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SELLER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
DEMARTINI, CARRIED 6-0-1 (Commissioner Withers absent), to recommend that the
Community Development Director work with the applicant on two different design options:
I. Let the Subaru building express their updated identity without making significant changes
to the neighboring building (the existing building can remain as a backdrop).
2. Increase compatibility between the two buildings by implementing changes to the awning,
increase compatibility with slate and columns, experiment with staining the existing roof
the if it would enhance compatibility (look at existing against new) or keeping the existing
roof the same, creating a more unified backdrop for Subaru.

ACTION: The Committee provided the following comments:
• Dark color is an ominous green, a lighter color may be better
• Like that flexibility is built in
• Appreciate eye on design for safety
• The buildings are attractive but don't look like San Luis Obispo
• Love to see the opportunity to tie in with the historic nature of the area
• Either the Murray Abode or the Heyt Adobe could become a cafe
• The design or use doesn't have anything to the with the space
• Like the patio and outline of what was there
• Potentially concern about dark colors maybe lighter colors
• More tie into the history of the area
• Maybe a mural that tells the story of the area
• Murray Adobe should be part of the project
• Happy that there was space available for the possible restoration of the Murray adobe
