Robert Strong continued that the City previously required one space for
each 1,500 square feet regardless of whether the use was small or large,
indoor or outdoor. Although arbitrary and interim, until a more com-
prehensive re- evaluation of parking requirements had been accomplished
as a part of the regulatory system revisions, the.above changes recom-
mended by the Planning Commission reflected prevalent standards of other
communities surveyed.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Charles Davis, property owner, appeared before the City Council objecting
to rejection of parking.space area in the M .zone. It was his.feeling
that no changes were warranted and that if anything, insufficient space
was now required for industrial properties if you took into account the
people working in the industrial area.
Mayor.Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
The-City Council discussed the recommendation of the Planning Commission
with the Planning Director. After discussi -i4i Councilman Norris moved
that an ordinance be introduced to print embodying ne cnanges r ecom-
mended by the Planning Commission.
1. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to amend the zoning ordinance,
Section 9200.36 and 9200.34, to require one parking space per 1,000 square
feet for the first 10,000 square feet and one space per 5,000 square feet
for the area in excess of 10,000 square feet for various indoor and out-
door uses in the C -H and M zones.
Robert Strong, Planning Director, presented the recommendation of the
Planning Commission for the above.recommended parking changes. It was
the feeling of the Planning Commission that there was no specific standard
required by other cities and that the City of San Luis Obispo parking
requirements were not the most stringent, but that the City's parking
requirements for this type of use seemed excessive. The amendment recom-
mended would provide sufficient parkinglarid would be more equitable to
property owners. The Planning Commission recommended that the zoning
amendment be adopted.
Robert Strong continued that the City previously required one space for

Motion lost for lack of second.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown that the mat-
ter bey- returned to the Planning Commission for restudy of parking used

2. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the
recommendation.to rezone the area bounded by High, Beebee, South and
Higuera Streets from M to C -H.
Robert Strong, Planning Director, presented the-recommendation of the
Planning Commission for the City Council's information. He stated that
the Planning Commission felt the subject property was located within
the area by High Street on the tiorth, Beebee Street on the east, South
Street on the south and Higuera Street on the west. The property was
developed with heavy commercial and neighborhood-commercial uses, which
included a grocery store, restaurant, retail establishments, bus station,
outdoor storage, etc. Surrounding land uses included residential uses
on the east and heavy commercial uses on the north, west and south. He
stated that the City was initiating the rezoning in conformance with the
General Plan to allow the establishment of additional heavy commercial
uses within the subject area. Also the existing neighborhood-commer-
cial use within.the area were not allowed uses in the M zone and there-
fore were nonconforming. It was the Planning Commission's opinion that
this was a logical rezoning and was in accordance with the General Plan
recommendations.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Ed Salas, ^appeared before the City Council objecting to the rezoning '
only of that portion on the corner of Beebee and High Streets as he
had just recently purchased the property and hoped to develop it into a
residential use. He hoped that the City Council could at this time
eliminate this proposed recommendation by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
The Mayor explained to Mr. Salas the steps that were necessary to go
through to rezone a piece of property._from one use to another and sug-
gested that he contacti the Planning Department if he wished to proceed
with the requested rezoning to residential use.
On motion of Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Graham the-following
ordinance was introduced: ORDINANCE.NO. 616.(1974 Series), an ordinance
amending the official zone map of the City of San Luis Obispo.
Passed to print on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Brown, Graham, Norris, and Mayor Schwartz

ABSENT: Councilman Gurnee
3. At this time the City Council considered the .adoption of an '
ordinance amending the City's ordinance for the regulation of contri-
butions and expenditures in Municipal Elections by deleting.provisions
concerning solicitation agents an c ang ng t e day for publication of
campaign statements. These changes came about during the final hearing
and adoption of the original ordinance and changes were requested by the
City Council.

cipal elections by deleting the provisions concerning solicitation agents
and changing the day for publication of campaign statements.

NOES: None
ABSENT: T. Keith Gurnee
4. At this time the City Council again considered the proposed in-
stallation of-bicycle lanes on Los Osos'Valley Roadlbettieen Madonna Road
and the northwesterly city limits and possibly restricted parking on the
west side of Madonna Road.
This matter was continued from the meeting.of.March 4, 1974.
D.F. Romero, City Engineer, Siibmitted.a.report and sketches showing two
pioposals,.for handling bicycle paths on the westerly side of Los Osos Val-
ley Rodd.
Plan A would place the bike lane adjacent to the curb along Los Osos Valley
Road from the northwesterly city limits to Madonna Road with.par;king.•pro-
hiblited adjacent to the curb.
Plan B would be a_ proposal to allow parking along the curb at Los Osos
Valley Road andtthen adjacent to.the parking lane a six foot bicycle.lane.
This would carry from the northwesterly .city limits to Madonna Road.
The City Council again.reviewed.the.report on bike paths by John E.
Williams and the amended report by Mr..Williams of May 23, 1974. This
report recommended that Plan B.as suggested by the City Engineer be adopted.
Mayor Schwartz stated he again would like to present a combination of
A and B which would allow.curb parking from Madonna Road.northerly op-
posite the extension of Oceanaire Drive and that no curb parking be
allowed from Oceanaire Drive extended.to the northwesterly city limits.
He felt in this way both the property owners, who had developed property
and needed curb.parking could be served and that the northwesterly end
of the street.which.did not need the.parking could then allow the bikes
to travel adjacent to the curb.
On motion of Councilman Brown, seconded.by Mayor Schwartz the following
resolution was introduced: - RESOLUTION NO. 2612 (1974 Series), a reso-
lution of the-Council of the City of-San Luis Obispo prohibiting parking
and establishing a bicycle lane on Los Osos Valley Road.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote.: all ayes, Councilman
Gurnee absent.

5. Communication from I3.F.'Romero, City Engineer, reporting
to the City Council on the Water Quality Control Board requirements
adopted May 10, 1974, which required records for daily application of
chlorine which required at the Sewer Plant and also required that the
water supply be sampled for total nitrogen content and also required that '
the City's monitoring program be reported monthly rather that quarterly.
The City Engineer continued that the requirements adopted were more strin-
gent regarding cyanide, copper.and zinc, than those of the earlier draft,
and included toxicity limits, complete dechlorination, and a reporting
of the toxicity, which were all at the request of the Fish and Game
Commission. He concluded that in discussions with the local manager
of the Culligan Water Softener Service, that the adopted requirements
were so strict that there was a good possibility that not only would
home water softeners be prohibited, but commercial water softeners as
well. If this were so, it would eliminate the choice of citizens in _
obtaining soft eater for their residences, and would make it; impossible
for certain commercial establishments, such as laundries, to function.
In any event, the City Engineer concluded that he had asked the consul-
tant John Jenk's comments regarding this part of the requirements and
also for a proposal for headworks bypass for consideration at the June
17 Council meeting.
. Fred. Hurst;. representing Culligan.Water.Softener.Service of Paso Robles,
reviewed for the City Council the implications of the Water Quality
Control Board requirements of controlling sodium in waste water dis-
charge. He felt that if this requirement were in force there was a
good possibility that not only would all home water softeners be pro-
hibited, but commercial water softeners as well. In order to protect
their business interest he offered the services of his company in any 1
studies undertaken by the City in this area and that the full facilities
of the laboratory and their laboratory personnel would be available
to the City for testing, monitoring, etc.
The Mayor thanked Mr. Hurst for his offer, and stated.that.he was sure
that the City would be looking for help from the private sector.
D.F. Romero, City Engineer, then submitted a proposal from Jenks-and
Adamson to-prepare and design recommendation in connection with the raw
sewage bypass at the .sewage treatment plant in light of the requirements
established by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The total
cost of the services would not exceed $900.
On motion of Councilman Graham,.seconded.by Councilman-Brown that the
City accept the proposal of John Jenks, of Jenks and Adamson, and auEh-
orize the Mayor to sign the agreement. Motion carried.
6. The City Council reconsidered the recommendation of'the Mass
Transportation Committee.dated May 10, 1974 considered and approved by the
City Council on May 20, 1974.
Item No. 9A of that report was a recommendation that bus routes be modi-
fied to provide better service to the community. The matter..for reconsid-
eration was requested by Councilman Norris as he wished the City Council
-to- 'reconsider the elimination of the high school from the bus route.
D.Y. Romero, City Engineer, reported that the recommendation of the Mass
Transit Committee was based on the fact that the bus route going towards
the-high school easterly on Marsh Street to California Boulevard many
times was stopped becuase of'the railroad trains being in the crossing
which necessitated the bus to.take another route to get to the high school
area and it was felt that this caused scheduling problems, and further
there was not much business being made of the bus by the high school stu-
dents.

Dr. Helmut-Schleicher, 2640 E1 Cerrito Court, the complainer in this
instance, stated that he witnessed the .exposing of the wall and footing
of the retaining wall at 1645 .Encino Court, and he again stated that he
desagreed with .the conclusions arrived at by the City Engineer and his
staff and he feels that:
1. That.the wall.stands on uncompacted soil and rock fill,
2. There was not gravel fill behind the wall,
3. That the dimensions of the footing and.the wall do not
conform to the standard which the City Engineer quoted.
He-then reviewed in detail the footing depth, the footing width, the
' heights, etc.. He also stated.he felt that the required reinforcing was
not present. However, he stated that.in order to save further concern
he.asked the City Council.the following:
1. That the.City Council gives him in writing thy, assurance
that the wall meets the specified standards and is there-
fore considered safe. If he receives this from the City
he would accept such a certification of the structure.
Councilman Norris again urged the City.Council to route the bus to San
Luis Drive and California Boulevard in order to service the high school,
the Economic Opportunity Offices on Marsh Street, and the Nuss Pool.
It was his feeling that the summertime that the buses.would be used trans-
,
porting youngsters to the swimming program.
On motion of. Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Brown that the
City replace the loop to San Luis Drive and.California Boulevard to
Johnson Avenue. Motion carried, all ayes, Gurnee absent.
7. D.F. Romero, City Engineer , submitted a report to the City
Council on.the action of the City Street Department Crews thatevaluated
behind the retaining wall at 1645 Encino Court as directed by the City
Council. He submitted a sketch showing the dimensions of the retaining
wall as constructed.
The City.Engineer continued that the wall deviate d.from a City stand -.
and with a level.backfill, in that the footing was.one. inch (1 ")
narrower than indicated.by.the standard, and that the depth of footing
tapers up to nine inches (9 ") at the outside edges.rather.than.being
twelve inches (12 ") throughout the full length. The placement.of the
wall along the footing was approximately two inches.(2 ") away from the
standard location.. The City. Engineer.stated that he:felt.all these
. " deviations ` were quite minor and did not create any significant problem
regarding the.strength of the wall. He reported that Paul Landell of
his office found considerable evidence of gravel along the back of the
wall, even though gravel was not required according to the City detail.
He also stated that the engineers found material beneath the wall and in
the backfill to be very well compacted.-
He. concluded ;that the field ,investigation that was carried, out again,
..the contention of.the Public-.Works Department, the contractor, and
the consulting engineers, that the wall at 1645 Encino Court was built
-to City standards and was structurally safe., He also stated that the
present owner of the property, George Gowgani, was extremely unhappy
at what he felt was harrassment by the City on the part of the.neighbor
and he stated.that he.would.not.grant. further permission _for the City
or Mr. Schleicher to enter the property and to•annoy him further.
Dr. Helmut-Schleicher, 2640 E1 Cerrito Court, the complainer in this
instance, stated that he witnessed the .exposing of the wall and footing
of the retaining wall at 1645 .Encino Court, and he again stated that he

to Mr. Schleicher for his records.
8. D.F. Romero, City Engineer, presented for the Council's
consideration the Final.Map and Subdivision Agreement for Tract 467,

requirements and is substantially complete and then listed the special

9. For planning ..purposes, the City estimates that improvements
constructed by compepitive bids will be completed within 24weeks_
after the contract_ is awarded, and.City agrees to use due diligence
in seeking timely contract performance, However, the parties re-
' cognize that City cannot guarantee timely performance, and developer
(agrees that City shall not be responsible for any loss incurred by
him as a.result of delays in contract completion. Developer also
agrees to hold City harmless from all claims by third persons, pur-
chasers or tenants which are based upon delays in'performance of the
publicly administered contracts.
10. It is mutually agreed that the Developers share -of those por-
tions of .the work to be publicly administered is estimated at $7190.00,
and that these funds will be deposited with the City. If after the
contract is awarded for this work it is found that,the amount deposited
exceeds the Developer's- share, the City shall.refund the surplus to
the Developer. It is also mutually agreed that should these funds
prove insufficient, the Developer will provide additional funds as
deemed necessary by the.City.
11. It is mutually-agreed that the Developer shall have the right
to reject any bid which-is-publicly administered which the Developer
feels will result in unreasonable hardship.
12. The following paragraph is a part of this agreement and shall
be placed on the subdivision map:
Within Lots 88, 89, 90 and 91 of Tract 467, Unit 2, and within
other easements designated as "Public Utility Easements" on
the final recorded- subdivision map of Tract 467, Unit 2, no
physical obstruction which would prohibit free access for op-
..eration, maintenance.and replacement of-public utility facilities
shall be installed except as approved by the City. Use of
such lots and easements shall at all times be subject to the
paramount rights of the City for the purposes for which they
il were originally reserved and if in the course of operation,
maintenance or restoration of existing public utility facilities
or construction of future facilities intended to serve directly
Tract 467, Unit 2; it becomes necessary for the.City.to remove
any private improvements, including street improvements and
landscaping, such removal shall be accomplished by the City
without.responsibility for restoration or replacement.of the
private improvements, provided the City will repair and replace
the public facilities removed and will backfill and compact
to base of paving or.to ground level.excavations made by the
...City. The provisionsihereof shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the successors of the parties hereto.
Nothing-shall be ;constr_ued__ toygive: the City rights-to use said
Lots 88, 89, 90 and 91 and Public Utility Easements shown on the
subdivision map of Tract 467, Unit 2, to serve any properties
not located within said Tract 467, Unit 2.
The City Engineer stated that'all the conditions had been approved by the
Planning Commission, Subdivision Review Board, and had been accepted by
the sub - developer except.that. now there was a question as to the amount
of contribution for future park development, item l of the special condi-
tions.
The City Engineer continued that the item 1 shown.at $1840.36 was on the
basis of the value of the property at the time the tentative map was sub-
mitted and approved by the City Council and is so-required by the sub-
division ordinance. But, since that time, the Park and Recreation Com-
mission felt that condition 1 should be modified to the amount of $7,416.75
City. Council Minutes
June 3, 1974
Page 8
which was the fair market value of .67 acres based on a fair market
value of.today of $11,000 per acre. He.felt that this should be con-
sidered by the City Council. He then presented a communication from
the Park and Recreation Commission explaining their feeling on the
park land dedication fees as suggested and as recommended amended by the '
Park and Recreation.Commission. The further.consideration.of the matter
by the Park and Recreation Commission then reduced the.amount of land which
was to be included as part of the dedication, which is now 3/8 of one
acre and that the fee based on the current market value should be
$4,125.00_.
Warren Dolezal, developer, objected to the City'.s attempt to tie the
final map approval with today's market value for park land dedication
rather than to the date of the tentative map which he.felt.was what the
City ordinance required. He als6 felt that.his budget for the tract
on the commitments made at,the tentative map stage.had.been approved,
and that now he was being unfairly treated in that he must somewhere get
additional-funds to make the deposit necessary to proceed with the tract.
He felt that the City Council naturally had him over a barrel as he could
not abandon.the subdivision over such a small amount of money when he
had so many - hundreds of thousands tied up. 'He did -not feel that this
was fair treatment by the City of San Luis Obispo..
Robert Strong, Planning Director, reviewed for the City Council the var-
ious City ordinances dealing with dedication of park land in subdivisions
particularly in planned developments when the subdivisions are being
done in phased units.
Councilman Norris stated that it.was his opinion that the City Council
should stay with the City ordinance as adopted and that the park land ,
in lieu dedication fee should be established at the time of filing the
tentative map-and not at today's values after the subdivision has been
,'started.
The City Council then discussed at length at which point in time did the
lieu fees come into effect, at the tentative map stage or at the final
map stage or development stage.
Robert Strong again reviewed both ordinances and their implications on
this - tentative development.
Councilman Norris moved that the 3/8 acre value should be taken as of
the time of filing the tentative map which would require the filing of
the sum of $1840.36. Motion died for lack of a second.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded'by Councilman Brown. that the
City Council accept the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Com-
mission for-3/8's acres of in lieu fee-at $4,125.00. Motion carried,
all ayes, Councilman Gurnee absent.
D.F. Romero, City - Engineer, then brought to the City Council's considera-
tion a special request by W. Dolezal to allow permission to remove over
60,000 cubic yards of earth from Phase 2 of Garden Homes development, to
land lying westerly of Phase I and II and east of San Luis Creek.
At the request of the City Council the City.:Engineer reviewed in detail ,
the grading plan of Phase 2 and the plan where the 60,000 cubic yards of
land would be deposited and ultimately compacted.

9. Communication from the City Engineer forwarding a recommenda-
tion of..the.Waterways.Planning.Board that the.request of James Renning
to construct a driveway decking over an enclosed drainage facility be
approved. Since this involved construction.over a City easement, ad-
ditional action on the Council's part was necessary.
On motion of.Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Graham that the
recommendation of the Waterways Planning Board be approved and that James
Renning be allowed to construct driveway decking over the.facility after
execution of an encroachment permit.. .Motion carried all ayes, Council-
man Gurnee absent.
10. Communication from the City Engineer - stating that the Federal
Highway Act of 1973 would make.available.within the next three years for
the use of the City of San Luis Obispo $420,000 for expenditures on high-
ways. One of the requirements established by_the Federal Government for
the use of these funds called for a cooperative process in determining
priorities. Accordingly, the County staff was.recommending that each
city in the.County of San Luis Obispo adopt a resolution authorizing
this cooperative process. He concluded..that the area Planning Council
would consider these-resolutions at its next.meeting and he asked the
City Council to consider adoption.of a resolution approving the.coopera-
tive process for determining project priorities for Federal Aid Urban
Planning.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Graham the following

11. Memorandum.from Robert Strong, Planning Director,.regarding
' General Plan revision and..related special services, which he.felt would
be most appropriate and most economical if.the.City were to hire certain
individuals and.limited•:technical.assistance locally.rather than hire
part -time technical. sniff.in. -the City. He..presented'a recommendation
and proposal that Urban Resource Analysts be retained. ;to perform a resi-
dential building stud)r .which-would evaluate residential structures in
terms of land use type, building occupancy, building condition, building

age, and building size. They would also.determine.Architectural
'style and significance, historic value, conversions of building use
and the relationship of each site to its neighbors. The total cost
for the survey by URA would be $2,500.

the City Council accept the proposal of Urban Resources Analysts,
maximum fee_of $2,500, and.that the Mayor be authorized to sign the
