MEMORANDUM
TO: Council Colleagues
FROM: Dave Romero
SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS
Since I will be unable to attend the 8/3/93 Council meeting, I would like to express my
views on several items scheduled to be considered by the Council at that time.
Open Space Element
Although I have a number of minor concerns, I have no major problems with this document.
Page 19. La.
I would like to see wording revised to recognize the need, and allow for flood protection
along the creek corridors. We should be certain that the wording which provides
preservation and restoration of the creeks does not preclude or make unduly burdensome
projects which we may conduct to provide flood protection.
Page 25. under Program I.c.
As worded, this would require that the majority of downtown, which is flood prone, be
designated as open space. I recommend that this section be reworded to recognize specific
flood problems already inherent in the downtown area.
Pagg 48, Le.
Will this wording permit modification of a creek to prevent flooding?
Page 61, La.
I do not believe we should designate specific properties (Dalidio, McBride and Madonna)
as open space or agricultural preserve. It would be preferable to indicate a general area on
the LUE map.
Page 78, first paragoph
This program will preclude the construction of the Little Theater building.
Housing Element
Although I have many differences with specific policies and programs within the draft
Housing Element, I have one over-riding concern. That is, we should find some way to
accommodate HCD requirements so as to achieve a state-approved housing element. It is
inconceivable to me that we would wish to continue indefinitely fighting the state on this
issue, losing grants, risk further state sanctions and possible future state control of our
zoning. We have already lost the $1,000,000 People's Self Help Housing grant, may have
lost the Women's Shelter grant for $440,000, the $30,000 grant mentioned by Wanda
Strassburg at the July 20th meeting, and may face an unknown number of other state
sanctions because of our lack of response.
I believe we must find a way to accommodate the state and that we can do this without
giving up planning control of the community. Under the current situation, it matters not
what numbers we use in our Housing Element since the housing market is severely
depressed and will probably remain so for several years. Including the state numbers will
not in itself mean additional growth for the community since that will be governed largely
by the market place. In actuality we are taking many of the steps the state has requested
by pursuing Nacimiento water and the Airport Area annexation.
Orcutt Road Set-back Line and Access
The Council will consider whether to formalize a previous decision regarding widening of
Orcutt Road between Broad Street and the railroad tracks to accommodate a wide
landscape median. In my view, this 2-1/2 block area is not the proper location to spend
$526,000+ which the City does not have either in its street funds or general fund. If we had
these funds I would much rather spend them on other entries to the City, such as Highway
101, Highway 1, Los Osos Valley Road or South Broad Street.
Even if we spend the money, I don't believe the landscape median will accomplish what we
hope, since we must provide breaks and narrow unlandscaped surfaces in developing turn
pockets in both directions at Duncan and McMillan. The landscape median islands will,
therefore, be relatively short in length.
I also feel quite strongly that the City should require the extension of Sacramento Drive
through to Orcutt Road at Duncan Lane. There will be a time when the Orcutt/Broad
intersection will fall to a level of service 7', and the City will be overjoyed to have some
chance of relief for that level of traffic. This connection will help. More importantly, it
allowed access for emergency and service vehicles and will follow our general policy of
connecting streets where possible in order to avoid small enclaves. I believe the intersection
of the Sacramento at Orcutt Road can be made quite safe (similar to Los Osos Valley Road
at Calle Joaquin) and that the environmental damage by bridging the one creek at the
existing end of Sacramento will be minimal.
In summary, it is my recommendation that Sacramento Street connect through and the
existing long-adopted setback line on Orcutt Road be followed.
