DISCUSSION Previous Review On April 11, 2007, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft 2006 General Plan Annual Report, (Attachment 1) and forwarded it to the Council with a recommendation for approval (Planning Commission Minutes, Attachment 2). The Planning Commission's discussion focused on residential and commercial growth, and the Commission asked staff to make revisions to the report to address the following issues: 1) Information should be added regarding the downtown building height discussion,. which began in March, 2006. 2) The report should make a note of voter approval of Measure J and its effect on the City's General Plan. 3) Clarification regarding consequences to property owners of not meeting the deadlines established by the City's Unreinforced Masonry Retrofit ordinance. 4) Clarification regarding the estimated date of delivery of water supply from the Nacimiento pipeline project. The additional information requested by the Planning Commission has been incorporated into the 2006 General Plan Annual Report. Annual Report Overview Each year, the City publishes an Annual Report on the status of its General Plan and actions taken to implement it during the past year. The report is provided to help citizens and City officials gauge progress towards achieving the goals listed in the General Plan. The annual report is done in part to comply with State law, which says that "the planning agency shall ... provide an annual report to the legislative body on the status of the general plan and progress in its implementation, including the progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs..." (California Government Code Section 65400). 7 Council Agenda Report 2006 Annual Report on the General Plan Page 2 The General Plan Annual Report is an opportunity for the City to keep the General Plan current by reflecting on how well the Plan continues to meet the City's goals and objectives. It is an opportunity to review changes to the General Plan that have been made during the preceding year and consider if those changes are caused by an underlying inadequacy in the Plan. It is also an opportunity to review how well the Plan's programs are being implemented and determine if the programs are still relevant or if priorities should be reassigned. This latter objective is also addressed every two years when the City Council develops a new financial plan. During the budgeting process, the City Council reviews the progress being made to implement the General Plan and decides whether or not to make particular implementation programs a major city goal for the next two years. Land Use Element Policy 9.3 also calls for an annual report, to be completed during the first quarter of each calendar year. According to this policy, the report is to include the following items. A) A summary of private development activity and a brief analysis of how it helped meet general plan goals; B) A summary of major public projects and a brief analysis of how they contributed to meeting general plan goals; C) An overview of programs, and recommendations on any new approaches that may be necessary; D) A status report for each general plan program scheduled to be worked on during that year, including discussion of whether that program's realization is progressing on schedule, and recommendations for how it could better be kept on schedule if it is lagging; E) A status report on how the City is progressing with implementing its open space preservation policies and programs; F) Updated population or other information deemed important for the plan. The report strikes a balance between brevity and completeness and is intended to be a concise overview. Key Implementation Issues The Annual Report is organized around key implementation issues. These include Development and Population, Growth Management, Open Space Protection, Historic Preservation, Annexations, Major Implementation Plans, Circulation, Safety, Neighborhood Quality, Parks and Recreation, Sub-Area Planning and Development and Program Status. The following achievements are highlighted in the 2006 Annual Report: 1. The Conservation Open Space Element (COSE) was adopted, updating and consolidating the former Conservation, Energy Conservation, and Open Space elements. y-a � n Council Agenda Report 2006 Annual Report on the General Plan Page 3 2. Construction permits were issued for the People's Self-Help Housing project located on South Higuera Street, an affordable housing project consisting of 28 apartments for low and very-low income residents and a manager's unit. 3. The City purchased a conservation easement on the 390 acre Brughelli Ranch restricting the property to agricultural zoning uses in perpetuity. The acquisition is considered one of the most important in the City's entire greenbelt. 4. The City's Water Reuse Project began delivering recycled water in Spring 2006. Going forward, the project is expected to expand its customer base by 100-acre feet of water per year and will ultimately provide 1,000 acre-feet of water per year for irrigation. 5. In November, 2006, the City held a third public workshop to solicit public input on the Broad Street Corridor Plan, a land use and transportation plan for the area between Orcutt Road and South Street that will focus primarily on the area between Broad Street on the west and the railroad tracks on the east. The meeting was well attended with over 100 participants. Over 30 people volunteered to serve on a focus group to help guide the creation of the plan, which is funded in part by a Cal Trans grant. Public hearings on the document are expected to begin in 2007. 6. The LC YC Cheng Park was dedicated in November, 2006, recognizing the Chinese contribution to the history of San Luis Obispo. Residential and Commercial Development 1. Residential Growth Management and Affordable Housing In 2006, the City Council approved a revised Growth Management Phasing Schedule. The schedule allocates dwelling units to the Margarita Area and the Orcutt Area in order to insure that the City's residential growth rate of 1% (averaged over a three-year period) is maintained. Also in 2006, the City Council directed staff to evaluate the potential benefits of revising the City's Growth Management Ordinance to allow for residential growth to be averaged over an eight-year period, as opposed to a three-year period. A revision to the ordinance would not change the 1% average annual growth rate limit, and would be intended to more accurately reflect the cycle of housing production in the City. Staff work on the proposed ordinance revision is on-going and alternatives will be presented to the City Council in late summer, 2007. The 2006 Annual Report on the General Plan includes a new table that compares actual housing production to the City's Quantified Housing Objectives (Housing Element,Table 5). The table shows that the City is well below its targets for both affordable housing and market rate units. The table reflects the downturn in housing production that has been experienced in the City for the past two years, since the DeVaul Ranch neighborhood was completed and occupied. Increased residential development is expected to occur in 2007 with significant infill housing projects under construction. In 2008 and beyond, the Margarita Area and the Orcutt. Area will add to the City's inventory of developable residential land. Council Agenda Report 2006 Annual Report on the General Plan Page 4 2. Non-residential Growth Management In 2006, non-residential development proceeded at a slower pace in comparison to previous years. The most significant projects completed included new office buildings at the southwest and southeast corners of Tank Farm Road and Broad Street, including the Thompkins Medical Center (4021 Broad Street) and Sycamore Court (711 Tank Farm Road). Over 20,000 square feet of new industrial floor area was developed on Ricardo Court in 2006. The Circuit City building on Los Osos Valley Road was also constructed and occupied last year. The following Land Use Element policy applies to non- residential development. Land Use Element Policy 1.11.4 - Nonresidential Growth Rate: Each year, the City Council will evaluate the actual increase in nonresidential floor area over the preceding five years. The Council shall consider establishing limits for the rate of nonresidential development if the increase in nonresidential floor area for any five- year period exceeds five percent, except the fust 300,000 square-feet of nonresidential floor area constructed after 1994 shall be excluded from calculating the increase. Any limits so established shall not apply to: A. Changed operations or employment levels, or relocation of ownership change,of any business existing within the City at the time the limit is set; B. Additional nonresidential floor area within the downtown core; C. Public agencies; D. Manufacturing, light industrial,or research businesses. According to Table 3-B of the Annual Report, the actual increase in nonresidential floor area has exceeded 5% for every five-year period since 1995. Each year the Council has considered whether or not to implement limits to new nonresidential floor area and has decided against establishing limits. The main reasons for not implementing non- residential growth management controls included conflicts with the City's economic development goals, the need for revenue to make up for the State reductions to local municipal revenues, and the substantial exemptions to growth limits called for in the policy. In addition, considering non-residential growth limits is more challenging when considering specific projects than in the abstract. For example, had growth limits been set, past projects such as Costco, Kennedy Fitness Club, and the much needed medical office space could have been curtailed. As such, the Council has previously concluded that the General Plan establishes the "controls" by determining non-residential uses, but that the pace of such development should be determined by the market and the availability of appropriately zoned land. FISCAL IMPACTS When the General Plan was prepared, it was accompanied by a fiscal impact analysis, which found that overall the General Plan was fiscally balanced. The annual report does not change the General Plan. Accordingly, the Annual Report on the General Plan has a neutral fiscal impact. z/--y I, Council Agenda Report- _ 2006 Annual Report on the General Plan Page 5 CONCURRENCES The Community Development Department prepares the Annual Report on the General Plan, with significant input from other City departments.

Policies and programs in the General Plan provide guidance to the public, staff and decision-makers on development related issues. Policy and program statements also guide City efforts to promote a stronger community through programs ranging from Adult Sports to the Neighborhood Enhancement Ordinance. The General Plan is adopted and amended by the City Council, after considering recommendations by citizens, appointed advisory bodies, other agencies, and City staff. Each year, the City publishes an Annual Report on the status of its General Plan and provides an overview of actions taken to implement the Plan during the past year. This report is provided to help citizens and City officials gauge progress towards achieving the City's stated goals and objectives. It is also an opportunity to review how well the Plan's programs are being implemented and determine if the programs are still relevant or if priorities should be reassigned. The Annual Report fulfills the requirements of State law, and the General Plan itself, which call for an annual report. Administration of the General Plan General Plan Status State law requires each city and county to adopt a general plan that addresses seven topics, typically referred to as `elements.' Additional topics, or general plan elements, may be included. The law also requires general plans to be comprehensive, internally consistent and that they provide a long-term perspective. The Governor's Office of Planning and Research publishes the General Plan Guidelines, which includes the following general plan basics: . 1) Geographic Comprehensiveness: The general plan must cover all of the territory within the jurisdictions boundaries. 2) Regionalism: The general plan must take into account regional plans for transportation, air quality and water quality, and must spell out measures needed to meet federal or state standards for the region. 3) Issue Comprehensiveness: General plans must address the jurisdiction's physical development over the long term, but because the general plan is the most comprehensive expression of the general welfare, it should also recognize social and economic concerns. 4) Internal Consistency: All of the general plan elements must be internally consistent. Each element's data, analyses, goals, policies and programs must be consistent and compliment one another. This includes consistency with area plans and specific plans. 5) Long-Term Perspective: The general plan must address the welfare of current and future generations, although the time-frames may vary among the different elements. The Housing Element, for instance, must be updated every five years. State law says the General Plan should be kept current. The City of San Luis Obispo does this through this annual review process, comprehensive updates, and through amendments. Updates to entire elements are done as needed. They look at underlying conditions and preferences. Amendments are typically smaller in scope and involve changing one part in a way that fits with pace 5 y�z Attachment 1 city of san Luis osispo ceneiza. plan annual RepoRt 2006 the overall framework. Consideration of amendments is triggered by private applications or by direction from the City Council. Changes to the General Plan require hearings by the Planning Commission and by the City Council. The type of notice provided for the hearings depends on the type of proposed change, but always includes a descriptive item on the meeting agenda, which is published in the newspaper. The City's website and public access television channel provide additional information. Element Updates In 2006, the City completed its update and consolidation of the Conservation and Open Space Element (COSE). The COSE updates the City's former Conservation Element and the Energy Conservation Element, and consolidates all of the conservation and open space goals, policies and programs that were formerly included in various General Plan elements. Chapters in the COSE cover a wide range of topics including air, cultural heritage, energy, materials, native minerals, natural communities, open space, views, and water.

Applicant Density Residential to General Retail Amendments During the annual review of the General Plan, individual amendments are analyzed to determine whether or not they signal a trend or emerging issue that the City should address more comprehensively. In 2006, the City approved text amendments to the General Plan, as listed in Table 2. Table 2a lists the 2006 amendments to the Land Use Element Map. These include map amendments associated with a SLO Housing Authority project proposed on Humbert Lane, near the railroad tracks, and another housing project proposed by Bermant Homes on Nipomo and Marsh. No pattern or larger issue is evidenced by these two amendments. In March 2006, the City Council held a study session to discuss General Plan policies relating to downtown building height and intensity limits. At that time, direction was provided to clarify the existing policies and provide for a moderate increase to downtown building height and intensity limits. The discussion was a response to proposals for tall buildings downtown that were envisioned by the General Plan, but not permitted under the current development standards contained in the Zoning Regulations. General Plan amendments were approved in early 2007 and advisory body review of implementation measures for the new policies is ongoing. A more complete overview will be provided in the 2007 General Plan Annual Report. Measure J San Luis Obispo County voters approved Measure J in 2006, which was an initiative to amend the San Luis Obispo County General Plan to allow for development of the Dalidio property. The Dalidio property is currently outside of the City limits, but it is located within the City's Sphere of Influence and Urban Reserve Line. The Dalidio property is designated in the City's General Plan as General Retail, Open Space, Medium-Density Residential and Interim Open Space. The project that was approved through the initiative process was not consistent with the City's General Plan. City staff will continue to monitor the situation with respect to development of the Dalidio property. As additional information becomes available it will be reported to the Council. paC4E 7 y-�� Attachment 1 arty of San Luis OBISPO _ c,EnenaL plan annual uepout 2006 Implementation of the General Plan Development & Population Housing &Residents According to the California Department of Finance, the population of the City of San Luis Obispo was estimated to be 44,439 residents as of January 1, 2006, representing population decline of .4% over the previous year. Table 2 of the Land Use Element shows the anticipated City population growth to the year 2022. Table 2 predicts a population of approximately 49,220 residents for 2006, with 20,820 dwellings. It should be noted that the difference between the projected population and actual population is about 10%, which can be accounted for by a lower than anticipated average household size. Table 2 of the Land Use Element predicts an average household size of 2.35 people per dwelling unit. Over time, this average household size has dropped to today's figure of 2.198 people per dwelling unit. The total number of dwelling units in the City is now 19,893, or 4% less than predicted. The projections provided in Table 2 were the basis for many other assumptions in the General Plan, such as transportation needs. Since the actual numbers are lower than the projections, the assumptions based on these projected numbers should be sound. Quantified Objectives and Affordable Housing State housing law requires that each jurisdiction identify the number of housing units that will be built, rehabilitated, and preserved during the Housing Element's planning period, which is January 1, 2005 to July.1, 2009. These projections are termed "quantified objectives," and are included in Table 5 of the Housing Element. Chapter 2 of the Housing Element includes goals, policies and programs to accommodate affordable housing programs that meet the City's Quantified Objectives. The Housing Element also includes goals for mixed-income housing, housing variety and tenure, and special-needs housing. Housing Element Table 5'- shows the City's progress towards meeting the Quantified Objectives identified in the Housing Element and is located on Page 10 of this report. These Quantified Objectives identify the number of housing units that the City has planned to accommodate, but the construction of new housing units is market driven. The last two years of housing production have been below average and did not approach the limits established by City growth management regulations. The table on Page 10 reflects the fact that housing production of very-low income units and low income units must increase substantially in the next two years in order for the objectives to be met by 2009. Low income and very-low income units are not subject to growth management regulations. In 2004, the City established a Housing Program Manager staff position to focus on accomplishing these and other important General Plan goals. The following is a list of program accomplishments for 2006. Affordable Housing Projects: • People's Self-Help Housing (South Higuera Street.) - In September, 2006, construction permits were issued for 28 apartments for low and very-low income households. The City Council approved$350,000 of the City's Affordable Housing Fund to help fund the project. PAC4E 8 y-/s �-� Attachment 1 city of san lues oBispo _ GeneRa plan annuaLRepoRt 2006 • Broad St. Mixed Use—The Planning Commission and City Council approved an innovative mixed-use project, next to Cole Motors, with 82 residential units and 30,000 square feet of commercial. In 2006, this project received building permits and the first occupancies of residential units occurred at the end of the year. At least 6 affordable dwellings, rentals and for-sale, will be provided on the site. • Margarita Area Specific Plan — Two major subdivisions with a total of 375 dwelling units were approved in the Margarita Area in 2006. The City, Housing Authority, and developer have come up with an affordable housing plan that could serve as a model for future annexation areas. The developers are dedicating land (2.75 acres) in two distinct locations, including completion of the associated public improvements, to the Housing Authority for construction of affordable multi-family housing. • Cooperative Housing — Humbert Street: In 2005, the City helped the Housing Authority acquire this site from Union Pacific Railroad with a $600,000_ loan from the Affordable Housing Fund. In 2006, City staff continued to support the project and assisted the Housing Authority with preparation of an application to the HELP program, a competitive funding program from Ca1HFA. The proposed project includes approximately 65 workforce housing units owned under a cooperative concept whereby each member owns a collective share of the whole project and enjoys the tax advantages of home ownership. • San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund: The City agreed to contribute $30,000 in 2006 from its Affordable Housing Fund to continue assisting in the start-up operations of the Housing Trust Fund, a county-wide non-profit organization dedicated to increasing affordable housing. In September 2006, the Housing Programs Manager was appointed as the City representative on the Housing Trust Fund Commission. • CDBG: The City received 11 CDBG funding requests for the 2006 Program Year (July 1, 2006 through June, 2007), totaling about $759,600. Estimated City CDBG funding for 2006 is $645,914, approximately $73,000 less than last year's funding. Recommended CDBG funding requests approved this year include: 1) continued operation and maintenance of the. Homeless Shelter, 2) improvements at the Prado Day Center, 3) improved accessibility for disabled persons at City facilities and on City streets, 4) rehabilitation of the Historic Adobes, 4) Hotline phone information and referral services, and 5)Program Administration. • Public Outreach: The City is conducting an increased and ongoing public outreach campaign, seeking more funding, and spreading the word about opportunities. The Housing Programs Manager has spoken before many community groups, including the Chamber of Commerce, SLO Association of Realtors, AIA, Lions Club, SLO Property Owner's Association, and KKAL radio. Two brochures have been completed to encourage affordable housing efforts and a powerpoint presentation has run on the Channel 20 local access cable station.

In 2006, the single-year growth rate was .14%, which is the lowest rate since the 1994 General Plan was adopted. As shown in Table 3-A, annual increases in the number of dwellings have averaged .64 percent over the past three years. This low rate of residential growth has occurred because of a gap in time between residential construction in the DeVaul Ranch area (completed in 2005) and construction in the Margarita Area, which will not begin until late 2007 at the earliest. Residential growth management policies are implemented by the Residential Growth Management Regulations, SLOMC 17.88. The regulations provide for phased housing construction in large annexation areas, such as the Margarita Area and the Orcutt Area. The current phasing schedule, Table 4, has been adopted pursuant to Land Use Element Policy 1.11.3, which states the City's preference to complete one neighborhood before beginning another, although some overlap is permitted. 2007 is also expected to be a slower than average year for residential construction. New units will come from in-fill and intensification projects within existing neighborhoods in the City. Occupancies in the City's residential expansion areas, the Margarita Area and Orcutt Area, are not expected to occur until 2008 at the earliest. Commercial and Industrial Growth Management Land Use Element Policy 1.11.4 - Nonresidential Growth Rate: Each year, the City Council will evaluate the actual increase in nonresidential floor area over the preceding five years. The Council shall consider establishing limits for the rate of nonresidential development if the increase in nonresidential floor area for any five-year period exceeds five percent,except the first 300,000 square-feet of nonresidential floor area constructed after 1994 shall be excluded from calculating the increase. Any limits so established shall not apply to: A. Changed operations or employment levels, or relocation of ownership change, of any business existing within the City at the time the limit is set; B. Additional nonresidential floor area within the downtown core; C. Public agencies; D. Manufacturing, light industrial, or research businesses. Table 3-B summarizes nonresidential construction since 1995. In 2006, non-residential development proceeded at a slower pace in comparison to previous years. The most significant projects completed included new office buildings at the southwest and southeast corners of Tank Farm Road and Broad Street, including the Thompkins Medical Center(4021 Broad Street) and Sycamore Court (711 Tank Farm Road). Over 20,000 square feet of new industrial floor area was developed on Ricardo Court in 2006. The Circuit City building on Los Osos Valley Road was also constructed and occupied last year. pace 14 y_�� Attachment 1 city of san Luis osispo _: ceneRal plan annual.RepoRt 2006 In 2007, commercial development is expected to continue at an average pace. The largest single project is expected to be a new Marriot Courtyard hotel on Calle Joaquin. Other projects expected to be completed in 2007 include new retail floor area along Froom Ranch Road and two mixed-use projects along the Broad Street corridor, including Cinderella Carpets and Broad Street Mixed-Use. Total floor area for 2007 is expected to be approximately 160,000 square feet. According to Table 3-B, the actual increase in nonresidential floor area has exceeded 5% for every five-year period since 1995. Each year the Council has considered whether or not to implement limits to new nonresidential floor area and has decided against establishing limits. It is important to note that if limits are established they would only apply to certain types of new commercial floor area, such as new offices or new retail establishments outside of the downtown core. Open Space Protection The General Plan contains many goals, policies and programs focused on open space protection. The policies apply to sensitive lands within the City's urban reserve as well as land in the greenbelt area that is protected for its biological, agricultural, aesthetic and/or recreational value. The Land Use Element and Conservation and Open Space Element address this subject in detail. In 2006, the City did the following in support of the open space program: • Bowden Ranch donation. The 180 acre Bowden Ranch is a spectacular open space with pristine native bunchgrass habitat, numerous rare plant species, and a popular trail that ascends to the ridge above town and provides great views all around. In February 2006 the transfer of this property from the developers of the 23-unit Bowden Ranch subdivision was completed. A realigned trail and bridge across the small perennial stream which flows from the site has been installed, a substantial mitigation program of tree planting to mitigate for the tree removals necessitated by the project has been completed, and the site continues as a popular hiking destination. • Gearhart donation. A 13 acre property along Calle Joaquin was donated to the City as part of a development approval for several new auto dealerships at that location long envisioned in the City's General Plan. The City is now working with Cal Poly and others to maintain the property in agricultural uses and possibly establish a turf research facility there. • Brughelli Ranch conservation easement purchase. In what is considered one of the City's most strategic acquisitions in the entire greenbelt, the City purchased (at a reduced, or "bargain") price, a conservation easement on the 390 acre Brughelli Ranch on Buckley Road. The easement restricts the property to agricultural zoning uses in perpetuity. While this zoning does allow for some development, any such development must still meet acceptable standards and provide evidence that resources such as water are available to support it. The bargain sale price for the easement was $750,000 or approximately$1,900 per acre. • Margarita Area easement donation. An offer of donation of a conservation easement on 71 acres of the South Hills was made by King Ventures, Inc., and accepted by the City Council in 2006. This easement is expected to be finalized within the next two to three months. It more than doubles the size of the South Hills Natural Reserve (to 131 acres) and ensures public access and natural resource conservation on the site in perpetuity. At some pace 15 y-11 Atf-achm e.,+ 1 ' l I city of san Luis OBISPO cerTeRaL plan annual REpout 2006 point in the future the owner plans to donate the fee title to the property to the City, and the easement will be transferred to a third party to ensure that the easement restrictions remain in place. • Union Pacific Railroad Property donation. The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County and the City of san Luis Obispo collaborated on this acquisition by the Land Conservancy late in 2006, and the Land Conservancy has offered, and the City Council has accepted, the offer of such donation. This is also expected to be finalized in early 2007. The land Conservancy's action has preserved 315 acres of mountain lands on the West Cuesta ridge, in an area noted for its rare plants, Sargent cypress groves, springs and other water sources, and several popular mountain bike trails. Annexations Annexations expand the area over which a city has land-use authority, which is a fundamental way to implement the General Plan. Annexations can also increase development potential, open space protection, tax revenues, space for public facilities, as well as service demands and costs. In general, annexations require approval by the property owner(s), the City, the County, and a separate countywide body called the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). In 2006, City staff began contacting property owners in the Airport Area and Margarita Area regarding annexations planned for 2007. Major Implementation Plans The General Plan requires approval of specific plans as a precursor to development of the City's major expansion areas. Specific plans typically contain more detailed land-use and design standards than the General Plan, and address the timing and financing of public facilities. They can supersede the Zoning Regulations, or lead to changes in them. The process for adopting a specific plan is similar to the process for adopting or amending a section of the General Plan. Margarita.Area Specific Plan The Margarita Area Specific Plan was approved on October 12, 2004. In 2006, the City Council approved the first residential subdivisions planned for this expansion area. These subdivisions include new residential neighborhoods with approximately 315 dwelling units, and land that will be dedicated to the Housing Authority for the construction of affordable housing. City review of additional subdivisions and annexation of the remaining portions of the Margarita Area are expected to occur in 2007. Airport Area Specific Plan The Airport Area Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council in August, 2005. With the approval of the specific plan, the City's Urban Reserve Line (URL) matches the County's Urban Services Line so that there is no County land designated for commercial or industrial development south of the City's URL. In addition, an MOU between the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors establishes a protocol whereby applicants proposing to develop land within the City's urban reserve will first be referred to the City to discuss annexation. The adoption of the specific plan, on-going efforts to annex this major City expansion area and the page 16 Attachment 1 city of san Luis oi3ispo ( G61,6izal plan annual REpoRt 2006 MOU provide the City with more land use control over this 1500 acre area in the southern part of the city. Orcutt Area The draft Orcutt Area Specific Plan covers over 200 acres of land in the southeastern part of the urban area. Almost half the area would be open space or parks. The rest would accommodate up to 1000 dwellings of various types. During 2006, work continued on the environmental studies for the project and revisions were made to the specific plan to incorporate the requirements from the environmental review process into the policies and standards contained in the specific plan. The plan is also being revised to expand the potential for mixed use development along the primary collector street within the plan area. Other issues addressed in revisions to the draft specific plan include airport compatibility, biological mitigation areas and provisions for affordable housing. Public hearings on the draft specific plan are expected to begin in 2007. Broad Street Corridor Plan The General Plan identifies the South Broad Street corridor (between High and Orcutt) as a "special design area" (Land Use Element Policy 8.3). The policy states that in this area renovation of streetscapes, landscaping, and building facades is to be encouraged. The City has been working cooperatively with Cal Trans over the past several years to identify the concerns and desires of the residents within this important transportation corridor. In 2005, the City was awarded a transportation planning grant in the amount of $110,000 to develop a plan for improvements in this area. In 2006, the City hired a consultant and began to draw down these funds and the corridor plan began to take shape. The planning process included a public meeting in November, 2006, that was attended by over 100 local residents, employees and business owners. The City has also established an 18-member focus group that has been meeting with City staff and the project consultant team on a regular basis to develop a consensus on a land-use plan and needed transportation improvements for the area. Public hearings on the draft plan are expected to begin in 2007. Water Supply The policies in the Water Management Element of the General Plan determine the water available for new development. Section 8.2.A. states "The City will make available to new development only that amount of safe annual yield which exceeds present water use (policy 3.4)." Policy 3.4 and related policies define present water use as the current population times the adopted per capita water use rate (145 gallons per capita per day). Based on these policies, the table below indicates the water available to allocate to new development in 2006. Year Population Present Water Demand Safe Annual Yield Water Available for 145 gpcd Allocation _ 2006 44,439 7218 a.f. 7,730 a.f. 512 a.f. 1 From Water Management Element,Table l: includes reductions due to siltation to daze 2 Includes additional water from Water Reuse and Expanded Conservation Programs pac,E 17 �—may Attachment 1 city of san lues ostspo - petieRal plan annual Repout 2006 Per Water Management Element Policy 8.1.3, one-half of the water available for allocation will be reserved to serve intensification and infill development within city limits. Therefore, as of 2006, 256 acre feet is available to serve new annexation areas and 256 acre feet is reserved for infill and intensification projects. The table below shows the water that has been allocated to residential and non-residential development since 1995.

The following table shows the primary water supply requirements based on the adopted policies to meet General Plan build-out. Primary Supply Requirements(acre feet) Safe Annual Yield Required at Build-out 9,096 Current Safe Annual Yield(2006) 7,730 Additional Safe Annual Yield Required 1,366 Siltation(2007 to 2025) 190 11 Total Water Supply R uirement1,566 The City is currently pursuing supplemental water supply projects. The Water Reuse Project began delivery to the first customers in spring 2006 and will will expand its customer base at about 100 acre-feet of water per year Ultimately, the Water Reuse project will provide approximately 1,000 acre-feet of water per year for irrigation throughout the City. The other water supply projects that the City is pursuing or considering include the Nacimiento Pipeline Project and increased water conservation strategies. Implementation of additional water supply projects to increase our current supply by at least 1,566 acre feet per year is necessary to meet projected demand at General Plan build-out. Consistent with the Water Element of the General Plan policy 6.1.1, the City is seeking to increase its supplies from Nacimiento by 3,380 afy to provide for secondary supply requirements of increased reliability and the ability to meet our peak daily demands with one of our major supply sources off-line. Currently, water delivery from the Nacimiento Pipeline Project is expected to occur between June and December 2010. pac,E is r�� Attachment 1 city of san Luis osispo - c,EnOW plan annual.REpout 2006 Circulation Transportation Network Improvements In 2006, the following improvements were made to the City's transportation network, consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Vehicular At the intersections of Palm & Santa Rosa and Monterey & Santa Rosa, the signal operations were modified to include protected / permissive left turn operations. Pedestrian signal indications were installed at Chorro & Monterey, Morro & Monterey, and Osos & Monterey Streets as mitigation to the frequency and pattern of collisions occurring at these locations. Modifications included installation of new poles, mast arms and signal heads including signal timing and coordination updates. The traffic signal at Bishop and Johnson was modified to convert the existing Johnson Avenue protected / permissive left turn operations to protected left turn only as mitigation to the frequency and pattern of collisions occurring at this location. Modifications included installation of new signal heads, timing and operational upgrades. The traffic signal at Madonna & Los Osos Valley Road was modified to convert the existing SB Madonna approach from a single left, single thru, and dual rights to dual lefts/ shared through, and dual rights to help alleviate some congestion and potentially correct the collision pattern. These improvements were conditions of approval for the Irish Hills development project, which ultimately paid for and installed the upgrades. Modifications included installation of new signal heads, signing, striping,timing and operational upgrades. As part of the recently completed Monterey Street reconstruction project, a painted brick pattern crosswalk was installed at the Court Street mid-block crossing. To improve visibility as mitigation to the frequency and pattern of collisions occurring at the intersection of Osos and Pacific, the intersection was modified to include pavement textured bulbouts and striping on Osos Street. Due to budget constraints, the City's pavement management program was drastically reduced in 2006. Patch repair was performed on portions of Grand Avenue, Los Osos Valley Road, Madonna Road, and Tank Farm Road. Additionally, the following paving projects were completed: Monterey Street (from Santa Rosa to Chorro); Higuera Street (Santa Rosa to Johnson); Broad Street (Buchon to High); Roundhouse Avenue (Santa Barabara to east end); and Emily Street (Roundhouse to south end). As a condition of the Cal Poly faculty housing project, a raised median was installed on Highland Drive to restrict left turn movements at the intersection of Ferrini Drive to mitigate the frequency and pattern of collisions occurring at this location. Construction of the realignment of Calle Joaquin south of Los Osos Valley Road continued as a condition of private development. paGE 19 Attachment 1 city or san Luis oaispo Cetiaizal plan annual izepoiA 2006 Bicycle In October, the City's Police and Parks and Recreation Departments held its annual Bicycle Rodeo instructing City youths on safe bicycling techniques and proper riding habits. The City's supply of short term bicycle parking expanded by 69 spaces during the second year of the City's "Racks with Plaques"bicycle rack donation program. The City participated in Bike to Work Week activities encouraging the public to use alternative transportation. In May, the City participated in BikeFest, an annual festival in Mission Plaza that promotes bicycling. Also in May, a bike valet parking service was introduced at the weekly Thursday night Farmer's Market. By the end of 2006, almost 1000 bicyclists made use of the free weekly service. The intersections of Marsh/Santa Rosa and Foothill/Santa Rosa were restriped to improve circulation for bicyclists. Transit At the end of the year, San Luis Obispo Transit implemented some minor modifications to Route 5, serving the Cal Poly/Foothill/Laguna Lake area, to improve on-time service and access to transit. Pedestrian With funding from the Community Development Block Grant program, the City installed 15 ADA accessible curb ramps around the downtown perimeter. Transportation Planning Improvements In 2006, the following transportation planning projects were implemented, consistent with programs in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Vehicular In collaboration with Caltrans, the City assisted a community based focus group to develop recommendations for the South Street corridor, The recommendations developed to improve pedestrian access as well as traffic, included reducing the number of travel lanes from five to three with the installation of landscaped medians where turn lanes are not needed. PACE 20 y-�7 /,-�1 Att3chrnefit 1 city of San LUIS OBISpo - g6ieiml.plan annual.tzepout 2006 As part of Council's action on the Caltrans South Street focus group recommendations, staff conducted a Halloween Traffic Safety campaign passing out over 2500 reflective Halloween bags. The City published its fifth annual Traffic Safety Report identifying high crash locations within the City and recommending mitigation measures to reduce the crash rates. A Caltrans Project Report and Environmental Determination for the Los Osos Valley Road interchange improvements are currently underway with an anticipated completion date of Summer 2007. The City continued to work with Caltrans to complete a Federal environmental clearance for the Mid-Higuera Widening Project. Bicycle The City received a BTA grant application for the construction of the Railroad Safety Trail between Hathway Avenue and Foothill Boulevard on City property. The City submitted a BTA grant application for the construction of Railroad Safety Trail between the Train Station and Marsh Street. The City submitted a Safe Routes to School grant application for a Class I path connecting the Oceanaire and Laguna Lane neighborhoods. The City assisted the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Coalition and other community volunteers in bicycle safety education efforts. The Bicycle Advisory Committee finalized its recommended changes on the second phase of their update of the Bicycle Transportation Plan. With the assistance of Cal Poly students, the City conducted bicycle counts at 24 locations within the city and developed a report summarizing the count data obtained in October 2006 . Transit In 2006, the City did the following in support of maintaining and improving bus service and other public transportation: • Organized the 4th Annual "Stuff a Bus"Holiday Food Drive; • Issued magnetic fare cards; • Prepared an annual performance report; and • Reviewed system wide service proposals from the Mass Transportation Committee. Pedestrian • The City continued its efforts to develop the City's first Pedestrian Transportation Plan. pACtE 21 7 ��� Attachment 1 city of San Luis osispo ` get,tual plan annual REpoRt 2006 Neighborhood Traffic Management Twenty (20) neighborhoods actively pursued the preparation of Neighborhood Traffic Management (NTM) Plans for their neighborhoods. Because so many neighborhoods are requesting NTM projects and implementation funds are limited, staff developed a method for prioritizing the projects. The criteria includes traffic speeds, volumes, presence or absence of continuous sidewalks, bicycle facilities, collisions, and presence of schools or other activity centers. NTM actions implemented this year include the construction of speed tables on Ella Street, white edge lines added to Chorro Street between Lincoln and Foothill. As part of the NTM program traffic volume and speed studies were conducted for the following streets: Albert Street, Cuesta Drive, Felton Way, Ferrini Road, Jeffrey Drive, Highland Drive, Murray Avenue, North Chorro, Madonna Road, and Patricia Drive. Traffic were counts taken on Madonna Road west of Los Osos Valley Road to measure the long term effects of the speed tables that were installed in 2005, the results indicated an average speed reduction of five (5) mph. Access and Parking Management The City approved a memorandum of understanding with a private party to redevelop Parking Lot 2. Construction was completed on the City office space/parking structure at 919 Palm Street. The structure provides a total of 242 parking spaces of which 192 will be available to the public. The structure has a "pay on foot" option so users can prepay before returning to their vehicle with the goal of reducing the time it takes for the vehicle to exit the structure. Progress was made on the design and location of new electronic parking signs along downtown entrance corridors. Installation is anticipated to occur in 2007. The City purchased property at 614 Monterey Street completing the acquisition of properties to develop a public parking structure at the comer of Palm and Nipomo Streets.. With this acquisition, the City continued to work with a consultant to develop conceptual parking structure designs for the property. As part of an evaluation of the City's Parking Fund, the City increased some parking rates and fines and installed some additional parking meters downtown. Safety Staff Trainine Section S 8.2.3.A of the Safety Element states that the City will train police officers and other City employees to levels appropriate for their tasks and responsibilities. The training of police officers and communication technicians is regulated by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), which mandates minimum content and hours for basic and in-service training. The Police Department maintained compliance with POST requirements for in-service training hours for required employees. This was accomplished by sending employees to POST certified training courses in various topics, with the associated costs reimbursed by POST, and by providing in-house training for employees. pagE 22 Arachmefit 1 city of san lues osispo qe'n,6i 1 plan annual 2epout 2006 In addition to State mandated training, the Police Department coordinated and provided training for most City employees in National Emergency Response as required by the Federal Government. In compliance with a 2003 Presidential Directive, the Office of Homeland Security implemented a National Emergency Response plan that required municipalities to become trained in the area of critical response and emergency management utilizing the operation of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). This training was required by Sept. 30, 2006 and was delivered by Police Department employees specially trained to conduct the training. Critical Facilities Locations and Reducing Structural Hazards Section S 8.6.1 of the Safety Element tasks the City with identifying and evaluating hazards in existing strictures, with the highest priority given to critical facilities. This effort includes maintaining and replacing City facilities, routine code inspections of certain commercial and residential buildings, complaint-based code inspections for all buildings, mitigating hazards associated with unreinforced masonry buildings (URM), and outreach regarding structural safety of private wood-frame buildings. In 2006, the City continued to include Seismic Retrofit as a major focus. In 2004, the City accelerated its timeframes for mandatory strengthening of URM buildings and also established low planning and building fees, low contractor parking fees and hired a part-time Seismic Coordinator to aid building owners in complying with the City requirements. To facilitate timely construction, the City set deadlines for requesting and obtaining building permits for retrofit work. During 2006, these deadlines resulted in permits being issued for the retrofit of all buildings in the inventory. The URM Ordinance requires full strengthening by July 2010 unless partial, Level A, strengthening is completed by July 2007. Where Level A is completed by the deadline, Level B work may be delayed until July 2012. Level A strengthening consists of installation of anchors between the buildings walls and roof, walls and floors and bracing any parapets. Level B consists of Level A work plus installation of the steel members that stabilize the storefront and frame. Distinction between Level A and B was established by ordinance to encourage owners to complete this significant portion of the strengthening process as soon as possible. Work on a hazard rating system was undertaken in advance of the July 1, 2007 deadline During 2006, nine Leve] B projects were started and completed. Experience has shown that owners are opting to reinforce to Level B, rather than prolonging the process by completing Level A now and Level B later. Reinforcement projects slowed to a pace that no longer supports assumptions that strengthening of all identified URM buildings in the inventory will occur by the 2010 deadline. Penalties in the ordinance for non-compliance include civil and criminal penalties, which could lead to condemnation of unsafe buildings. Local Hazard Mitigation Plan In 2006, City Fire Department obtained approval from FEMA for the San Luis Obispo Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan., a city-wide project, thereby allowing the City to participate in certain federal funding opportunities. The Fire Department, along with other City staff and the assistance of a consultant, prepared a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to guide the City toward greater disaster resistance. It is in full accord with the character and needs of the community as pace 23 // 6 mtLd :nrnent 1 city of san Luis OBISPO 4eneizal.plan annual uEpout 2006 well as federal requirements. The potential hazards identified and assessed in this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan include earthquakes, floods, hazardous materials events, landslides, wildland fires, and windstorms. Mitigation actions include a range of specific actions and projects that reduce the effects of each hazard, with particular emphasis on protecting new and existing buildings and infrastructure. Neighborhood Quality Code Enforcement—Community Development Department The City's Code Enforcement Officer reports directly to the Chief Building Official. The code enforcement office deals primarily with violations of building codes and zoning regulations. Code enforcement activities that would impact neighborhood quality would include violations such as: • Garage conversions ■ Conversions of other structures, such as storage buildings ■ Uniform Housing Code violations Of the 177 code violation cases handled during 2006, only 31 would fall into these categories. 8 alleged garage conversions, 1 conversion of other structure, and 22 complaints regarding substandard living conditions. These numbers represent an all time low for the code enforcement office. Several factors may have helped contribute to this: -Construction of new student housing units on the Cal Poly campus -Pro-active code enforcement efforts with property managers and property owners Increased mediation efforts through the SLO Solutions Program On—Campus Housing As a result of more student housing availability on campus at Cal Poly, the less desirable rental units in the City of San Luis Obispo were left un-occupied. Our student population suffers most by sub-standard living conditions. They come to town with little experience regarding housing conditions and may not be aware of problems until a lease is signed. Then, either due to lack of diligence on the part of the property owner or un-realistic expectations of the student tenant, complaints would flow into the code enforcement office for resolution. Now, with an abundance of rental units available in town the less desirable units must either be fixed up and/or maintained better or they would go un-rented. Pro-active Code Enforcement The code enforcement office adopted cost recovery standards in 2004. These standards allowed for three levels of violation activity. Tier 1, was considered a "self surrender" scenario. This scenario applied when the owner or their representative would approach the building department, inform staff of a violation, then, immediately take action to fix the problem. Tier 2 and 3 required follow-up actions by the code enforcement office therefore; cost recovery fees would be assessed. Because it was desirous to maintain a voluntary compliance method for resolving code violations, staff continues to work with property managers and owners to inform them of the mandatory cost recovery standards. They realize there is a benefit to good property maintenance paC�E 24 city of San lues OBISPO ` �' c,E.. 6rzal plan annual rzEpoRt 2006 and eliminating referrals to the code enforcement office. As a result of this improved communication, corrective work is more often done as a "self surrender" scenario and no code enforcement efforts are required. Neighborhood Mediation Services—SLO.Solutions Program. Background The SLO Solutions program is a cooperative effort between three partners; the City of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly and Cuesta College. During brainstorming sessions with the Cal Poly ASI — Student Community Liaison Committee (SCLC), a joint committee with representatives from all three entities, committee members agreed to financially back a mediation program in an effort to create positive relations within neighborhoods. It was recognized that neighborhoods were comprised of students, families, elderly persons or a combination of all three; often this diversity would result in conflict of lifestyles and problems would arise. Results During 2006, SLO Solutions reported there were 271 initial inquiries and 492 people served to help resolve neighborhood disputes. Residents now have an alternative to reporting problems directly to the city which may result in a code enforcement effort; often a strict process with no ability to look at alternative solutions. Mediation strives for results through cooperation, understanding others views, and resolving issues that may not need to become an enforcement action. The process has proven to be successful and by introducing problem solving techniques to residents of our neighborhoods it will empower residents and create a better sense of community. Parks & Recreation In 2006, the Parks & Recreation Department accomplished the following tasks related to the Parks &Recreation Element of the City's General Plan: • Department staff continues to offer programs and experiences that enhance the quality of life in the community. New programs begun in 2006 include a junior ranger camp, participation in the Amgen Tour of California, and a Counselor in Training program. • Design work is completed for the new Therapy Pool at the San Luis Obispo Swim Center. Completion of the project is scheduled for Summer 2007. The public art associated with the new Therapy Pool was processed and approved. • Ranger staff added to their scope of work with the addition of the Bowden Ranch property, adding 207 acres of open space and 1.25 miles of trails. • The Playground Replacement Program continues to be implemented. Anholm Park playground received new equipment and design work for French and Laguna Lake Park playground upgrades are underway. paGE 25 lJ�4/=0 Attachment 1 city of san Luis osispo grt_z:ual plan annual aEpoat 2006 • The Damon-Garcia Sports Fields were well used in their first full year of operation. Over 70% of the available dates were scheduled during the year and an estimated 49,000 people used the park as either a participant or spectator. Parking impacts were apparent and steps were taken to negotiate a lease with SESLOC to utilize adjacent property for a temporary overflow parking lot to be used during high impact events, such as tournaments. The temporary parking lot was constructed and completed. • A commemorative bench program has been developed and will offer interested citizens the opportunity to donate a bench to a park or open space to honor an individual or group. • LC YC Cheng Park was dedicated in November 2006 and recognizes the Chinese heritage in San Luis Obispo. • Through a partnership with the County of San Luis Obispo, work was completed as a part of a major city goal to add lights and safety netting at El Chorro Regional Park softball fields. Adult softball teams were moved to the new locations for the fall season along with continued use at Santa Rosa Park. Completing the goal will be to convert Stockton Field in Sinsheimer Park from a softball facility to a baseball facility in 2007. • As a result of neighborhood concerns, hole#3 at Laguna Lake Golf Course will be realigned to reduce the number of errant golf balls hitting adjacent homes. The project has been designed with construction to occur in 2007. • Staff has prepared capital project requests to continue implementation of the Sinsheimer and Laguna Lake Park Master Plans. • Two public art pieces were completed: Icons of an Era at the Freight Warehouse and Perpetual Hope in Mitchell Park. Three public art pieces were juried and processed for private developments. Program Status The General Plan contains an array of programs covering most types of City actions. The Housing Element, in particular, includes many programs with specific time frames. The written portion of this report touches on the major programs that saw activity in 2006. A status list of all General Plan programs follows. While General Plan elements are usually revised on a 5 to 10 year cycle, the City Council makes priority determinations as part of the two-year budget process, which supersedes the target program-completion dates contained in the General Plan. Staff will continue to update and correct this list throughout the City's goal-setting and evaluation activities. paC6 26 y-� Attachment 1 L m � O « S N -a E M o � w « m LU U v W LL O 0 a � m C Q m O y E cca U U U U U U U 000 U UUUUUU UUUUU U vO` ` N D CD L6 ad � J U JJ j J c w v Q �i O_) ca c�a a w (D `� m a m Oco as rn o m m 3 o c C° w c W c ca CL ( CL q J cn r O pp F Oc > .-m-. y ca (°O h N Z O) C O > C Cl) N N C7 n ° M WC O j U a) = T m M a) D ■ C w w Qf LU CD co .0 d E T T LL 0 U T V J T _m ca C m eco co O NN '� t0 NMS w W • W D .rCD " U CO > J J N N r M W V N ■ = JT O U 3 w � J CIS N w wJJ M JN N ° O co (n >' Q) '� w r t!) �N 7 O m _! •_ > c a) w °' m O m c w J !A M .0 Q ,(� • Z Q O w ns ` w L1 N E w a) ca c ❑ Cl) O J (a U m a0 U m ca = Z' O M 0) .7 O y m O J a) ^ O O c .c m tom 3 � U a L wQ M w m c o ca ❑ Q c o ° m N w — a ca 'o cu ca 'O O J m w O CO" y '0 N I°n c O m Ca U J m Co O ca O O O n g U w aa)) ca Q 0 °c � a) aa)) m o o) � � o cn co CD E c w m a�i i m a :c Q n = c a) ca U w a) «� >,cc 2 a o o m _c E o o r o a cd P c m m c �_ m ` Q O w 0) N c a) w ■ c 'p C w (a w m N 7 w w w O O •C j co V U ca w = ° Vi a' � `� r o (n aa)i v o g � c wIQ E of m O O w (a m O ❑ d L Ca m T C3 c � .c N Ca O � � O � Op i O m (D 0 _ CCI m = 3 a a) U in m J c w m c E y m C c w � c o m ■ O of CD j c .0 Y U V C � = N � ` ` N as y E a rn '.> E U 3 n m � c 2 Co — 0 `� m N w a� `o > U m r (D r- c � m ° � a ' o � IL c c O w m G a) a) as ❑ c w 0 . w a) ❑ (u c N C ■ p O)T CL ca r m Q to 'O co a) a) N a) C80a �S ca a) a) m U � y � >. oo) o ?

FROM: Ken Hampian, CAO SLO CITY CLERK 1)k SUBJECT: General Plan Annual Report "Redfile" This is an unusual "Red file" — but probably one of the most charming ones that you will ever receive. It is an excerpt from "memoirs" being prepared by former Mayor/Council member Ken Schwartz that he shared with me last week.. After reading his short story of the City's first General Plan (and his appointment to the Planning Commission), I believe it provides a wonderful perspective for consideration of the upcoming General Plan Annual Report. However we might feel about the progress we are making in implementing our General Plan (and all things considered, I think we are doing pretty well), we certainly have come a long, long way over the years. Ken, of course, deserves much credit for ushering SLO into a modern era of planning.

Mayor Waters wanted to appoint me to the City's Planning Commission. Would i accept? I was staggered. I had never met the Mayor. Waters had only recently been elected and i was desperately trying to remember if I had voted for him. The Mayor was a mortician and our paths had no reason to have crossed,yet,here he was on the phone asking me to serve on the Planning Commission. He could tell he had surprised me, so he quickly added: "The folks at City Hall tell me you have appeared before the Planning Commission and the former City Council protesting some re-zonings. i thought if you have better ideas on land use zoning, you might welcome the opportunity to serve on the Commission." In this era, the Mayor selected candidates and the Council simply gave their blessings; there was no advertising of openings or a qualifications review process. My thoughts were racing all over the place; I finally asked if I could have a couple of days to consider his offer? "Sure, but just remember if you don't like things the way they are,you have to put up or shut up." He was quite direct. He added that he had two openings to fill. It wasn't the commission's work that concerned me. Planning Commission meetings were held in the evenings so that would be OK. What was bothering me was my ability to work with the five remaining planning commissioners with whom I had little respect given my experience with them in our Goldtree rezoning dispute. Could I ever work with those guys who seemed to have such closed minds? Martha and I talked about it. I spoke with George and R.L. and Wes. But the decision, of course, was mine. Mayor Waters' remark kept reoccurring like a broken record, "You have to put up or shut up. " Put up, shut up. Put up, shut up. Put up, shut up. I decided to put up and phoned Mayor Waters and told him I would accept the appointment. It was then I learned that Beth Law would be the other appointee. I knew Beth. She and her husband, Dan, also lived in the Goldtree tract; in fact,their home was the first house on the left as you drove into our tract. Beth was a former elementary school teacher; she would be the first woman appointed to a planning commission in the entire County. The year was 1959. The Mayor said he would present his candidates to the Council on a specific meeting night and asked if I could be there? Certainly! The procedure was over with in a flash followed by a brief break during which Council members stepped out into the audience to congratulate Beth and 1. The cordiality of certain Council members surprised me after they had been so stiff and unfriendly when I appeared before them as a spokesman for the Croldtree Home Owners Association. It would take me a while to understand that this off, on, hot, cold demeanor was a reflection of political views and was not personal. In 1959,the city's planning program was administered on a part-time basis by a person working out of the City Administrator's office. I have only a vague recollection of this man's educational background,but I do remember Don,his name was Don, had no formal exposure to city planning coursework either in theory or in practice. But neither I A Life-changing Appointment did anyone else in the City's administrative staff. The major work that occupied our embryo planning department consisted of processing developer requests for rezonings or exceptions to the explicit requirements of the City's rudimentary zoning and subdivision regulations. City Planning was new to San Luis Obispo, as it was to most California cities and towns. Community planning was by no means anew idea, it just didn't catch on in the U.S. or in California until the post WWIi boom. it would take time for the City's officialdom as well as its citizens to understand the process. (Some still struggle.) The San Luis Obispo City Planning Commission consisted of seven members. Bob Carpenter,the Chairman,was a downtown businessman, his store sold stationery; Stan Cole owned the local Desoto/Plymouth auto dealership; Leonard Lenger was a concrete contractor; George Johnson was another downtown businessman—his store sold appliances and pianos; Francis Scott owned a wholesale butcher shop. Beth and I would round out the seven. i would be the first academician so serve on our planning commission—or for that matter, any planning commission in San Luis Obispo County. And so my initation began. A rezoning here, a setback reduction here, a height limit exception here, a subdivision lot line deviation there, and on it went. i kept trying to understand the justification for the requests for exceptions. My colleagues would argue, "That's what the applicant wants, why not give it to him?"or, often, "Just let him have it, nobody is objecting." I can remember one instance where Scott got up out of his commissioner's chair, went out and stood next to an applicant and argued on behalf of the applicant that we should vote for what the applicant wanted, then came back to his seat and voted for what the applicant wanted. it was hilarious; but it was so sad at the same time. What were the principles behind the regulations? Wasn't it the commission's job to uphold those principles unless there was a compelling reason to relax them? With time, I began to understand three things: (1)Planning Commissioners weren't expected(at that time)to know basic planning principles or to extend themselves to find out. Community planning was still a new endeavor and the language was not commonly understood as it is today. (2)There was no frame of reference in which to judge the impact that a decision taken today would have on our community tomorrow. A comprehensive"Master Plan"did not exist; the basic plan of that era was a Zoning Plan. (3) Si Eisner, my USC City Planning professor, had given me one humongous advantage in understanding the subject at hand. Simply stated, my dilemma was how do I share my planning knowledge with my fellow commissioners without sounding like the proverbial know-it-all? There was already a healthy tension between"townspeople"and Cal Poly"egg-heads." It would all come to pass late one evening before the commission broke up to go home. Over the course of several months,the commission had taken actions approving several rezoning requests which, in my opinion,the long-range implications were risky at best. 2 A Life-changing_Appointment I would usually say something to this effect, "If only we had a long-range General Plan, we might have a better understanding if this rezoning request made any long-teen sense," or"A General Plan would sure help us here." Sometimes I went along with the rezoning, but I was beginning to dig in my heels and offer objections. On several occasions, I voted against the request. That got the attention of other commissioners. Commissioners had grown accustomed to unanimous decisions. It was past ten o'clock. The commissioners were polled for their vote on the matter before us and I voted"no"once again lamenting the lack of a General Plan. That did it. Scotty exploded out of his chair(he sat second in from the left), circled in front of the dais and came directly up to where I sat(second in from the right). He leaned over the counter and,in a booming voice said, "Schwartz, God dammit,just what is this general plan thing you keep bitching about?" Scotty was a big man, a very big man. He could have played defensive tackle for the Chicago Bears. I thought he was going to globber me. He said, "Explain it to me." Of course, his behavior had captured the other commissioners' attention and all eyes were riveted on us. "Well?" I was quaking in my boots,but I started explaining that a General Plan was a long-term vision of what a city might become over time. A General Plan looked beyond current city limits, land use patterns and street systems and tried to project how a community might grow into an orderly, well considered cohesive city by managing incremental additions of new lands and streets so as to fit that larger vision. I explained that by taking actions, like we had done that night, without the benefit of a larger vision, we could be making huge and costly mistakes; we really didn't know if a land use change we had approved made sense in the larger context. i noted that a General Plan also outlined standards that should be used to measure if a proposal before the Planning Commission and the City Council made good sense. I concluded by saying that our Zoning Plan (which was called a Master Plan of Land Use)was limited to the areas of land currently within the city. Scott had listened very intently. He stood up straight and half to me and half to the rest of the commissioners, said"That makes a lot of sense. We ought to have a General Plan." He turned to Bob Carpenter,"Mr. Chairman, I move we request the City Council do whatever has to be done to get us a General Plan." Someone, l can't remember who, seconded Scotty's motion and Bob called for a vote. The vote was unamious. No such item had appeared on our agenda. There was no public discussion because there was nobody in the audience. in those days,those types of details didn't matter. But that's the story behind San Luis Obispo's first General Plan. The City Council approved the commission's request. Hahn, Wise and Barber, a San Carlos based planning firm, was hired and prepared that first General Plan, now updated many, many times.
