office to be consistent with the Advisory Body Handbook and increase
membership from seven to nine members (continued from 7/19/83).
Dave Romero, Public Works Director, briefly reviewed the council agenda
report (see file #543) with the recommended action that Council give the
ordinance final passage.

liens upon real property for weed abatement costs in various areas of the
city.
Mike Dolder, Fire Chief, reviewed the report (file 4723) with a recommended
action that Council adopt the resolution in the packet confirming the liens
as proposed on Exhibit "A ". 32 parcels had required weed abatement by city

forces, of which 22 were remaining as confirmed liens to be placed on real
parcels. He stated he had received a phone call from a woman owning Parcel
#53- 063 -05 -000 with a total lien cost of $299, and he stated she-was unable
to attend tonight's meeting but was protesting the billing.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Helen Millsap, 2073 Mill Street and owner of property 03- 759 -04 -000 with a
total lien in the amount of $390.00, protested the charge as she had
intended to clear the property herself but had simply not gotten to it ,
before the Fire Department had. She would urge the Council to reconsider
this charge because if she had had the property cleared herself she -could
have done it for about $75.
Raymond Long, 320 Main Street, also spoke in opposition to the charge
levied of $152 on property owned by him (parcel 403- 737 -14- 000)'. He stated
that the notice received in the mail had not given sufficient time.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Settle stated that he could support exempting parcels for Mr.
Long and Mrs. Millsap or would be amenable to only charging for the actual
Fire Department costs deleting the administrative and penalty charges.
Councilwoman Dovey was concerned as to when these notices were postmarked,
posted or mailed, as opposed to when the people actually received them.
After discussion, Pam Voges reviewed the manner of noticing people for both
hearings and business items, stating that in the case of a scheduled public
hearing for some items a ten day property notice is sent and a ten day
advertisement published. In this particular case, notices were sent out 30
days in advance.
Councilman Griffin stated he could move on the recommended resolution with
the understanding that staff be allowed to make equitable adjustments for
the three properties discussed.
Councilman Dunin suggested that this item be continued with additional
report back from staff on the three properties in question.
After brief discussion, it was moved by Cuncilman Dunin, seconded by.
Councilman Settle, the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No.
5187 (1983 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo confirming liens upon real property for weed abatement costs in
various areas of the city excluding the three in question with further
direction to staff to .report back at the August.9 council meeting on those

methods for tree-maintenance, in particular, to provide applicant responsi-
bility.
Councilwoman Dovey suggested staff be allowed to have the flexibility to
make these kinds of changes without coming back to Council. Council
concurred (5 -0).
5. "PROPOSED SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT
Council held a public hearing to consider an ordinance to rezone property
at 1220 Osos Street from Office to Central - Commercial to provide for a
proposed elderly services center and consider a development agreement
authorizing certain exceptions from property development standards to
enable low or moderate - income housing; Poise, Inc'., applicant (continued
from 5/17/83).
Toby Ross, Community Development Director, reviewed the council agenda
report (file 91463) reviewing the major differences in the proposed project
from the last time the Council considered it which were: 1) the building
to be 37 feet tall as opposed to 50 feet-previously suggested; 2) the
building was further from the street; 3) the patio was at the front of the
lot instead of the back; 4) the basement would not cover the entire site;
5) no common space or laundry facilities for the residents were indicated;
6) the applicant was not seeking federal assistance; 7) additional possibili-
ties for parking were included to.eliminate some assigned spaces in the San
Luis Medical Clinic lot and payment of in -lieu fees. No written proposal
had been made, no additional parking spaces were proposed to be constructed
on or off site. Total spaces required were 29. With regard to parking:
1) "staff was suggesting the installation of a passenger loading zone to
accommodate two vehicles in front of the site and reimbursing the city for
the two spaces at $5,000 each; 2) implementing the parking management
program for the Medical Clinic, including several means for increasing
availability and use of spaces; and 3) requiring the developer to pay
in -lieu fees of $5,000 per space for six spaces.
He then reviewed suggested conditions for the development agreement (see
page 5 -5 of the report).
Councilman Griffin reviewed the council subcommittee report on this project
as made by himself and Councilman Dunin:.,They had no -final recommendation
.on the project,•however, they had made several suggestions for possible
inclusion in the development agreement.
Upon question by Councilman Settle, Toby Ross stated he felt that this
project was ideal for the elderly especially insofar as the location was
concerned.
Councilwoman Dovey questioned-that if other property owners asked to have
their properties rezoned to the C -C zone, how would Community Development
feel on that issue.
City Council Minutes
Tuesday, August 2, 1983 - 7:00 p.m.
Page 6
Toby Ross responded that no other property has frontage entirely on Osos
Street. If there was no clear demarcation of the zone, then the property
owner could request it. However, he did not see this to be.a problem.
Each property would be taken on a case by case basis.
Councilman Dunin stated he would like the development agreement to be a
binding agreement, especially with regard to the parking and would like to
see a provision for the enforcement of parking as a part of the agreement.
Toby Ross explained that the C -C zone does provide for deferral of some of
the parking conditions, however, the applicant is complying with all
parking regulations.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Dale Molesworth, 206 Marlene Drive, Executive Secretary for Poise, Inc. and
Administrator for the clinic, urged the approval of the rezoning so that
the project could proceed. He stated that they were conceptually in
agreement with all the provisions as outlined by staff, and stated the
project appeared to be viable insofar as the financial aspects were involved.
He also felt this would help to meet the city's previous goals for this
type of housing in the city.
Patrick Sullivan, 1880 Santa Barbara Street, again stated he appreciated
the staff and its cooperation in looking for viable solutions to the
problems that the Council was concerned with at the last meeting.' He
reemphasized that most of the units would be serving but one person and
would again urge Council approval.
Mrs. Smith, owner of The-Gazebo Flower Shop, spoke in support of the
project urging Council's approval, that it was a needed project for the
senior citizens and she-did not feel parking to be a problem.
Rich Chubon, Director of the Housing Authority, spoke in support of the '
project as he had initially and again emphasized the importance of senior
housing. He felt that the concerns about the carwash would not be a.
problem as this kind of activity is better for the elderly than no activity
at all. He felt this type of project was very difficult to put together
and it was up to the community and the public entities to make such a
project viable.
Tom Rice, an adjacent property owner, had concerns with: 1) parking and 2)
zoning. He did not feel that the parking would be adequate; and with
regard to zoning, he felt that if you were to do it for one you needed to
do it for the entire block.
Jerry Evans, also an adjacent property owner who had occupied the:site
adjacent for 23 years, was also concerned with the parking problem. He
stated that people continually use his lot in order to alleviate the
parking on the street. Would the Council be willing to consider a•waiver
of parking requirements for office space?
Evelyn Delmartini, 2210 Santa Ynez, objected to the project due to insuffi-
cient parking and posed several questions: 1) what could you do to enforce
parking; 2) would Poise, Inc. still be the developer; 3) this was.a totally
new project and should have gone back to the Planning Commission; 4) low
and moderate - income, will this only be for the elderly or will it also,be
for students; 5) how many spaces, 32, 34, or 29 and how was the equivalent
being provided for; 6) does the offer still hold for the carwash to have
first option to buy; 7) what will the basement be used for; 8) where will
the $30,000 for parking in -lieu fees be applied?
Toby Ross explained that although only 29 spaces are required, an equivalent
of 34 spaces will be provided through efficiency. A total of $40,000 could
go towards the parking fund. The owner was expected to remain the same.
The Medical Clinic would still be "required to follow the agreement require-
ments. Only the elderly or the handicapped could be tenants. Use of the
lower floor would be restricted to medically related uses. There was
nothing to preclude the pharmacy from coming across the street. Most of

the tenants do not own their own cars-and in many cases are picked up by
others.. Therefore, the requirement of the loading zone. It was not a
requirement that the project had to be sent back to the Planning Commission.
Dale Molesworth responded that with regard to the carwash issue the owner
of the carwash was not interested.in selling.
8:55 p.m. Mayor Billig declared a recess.
9:00 p.m. City Council reconvened, all Councilmembers present.
Councilman Griffin stated that he could support the conceptual configuration;
parking would be greatly enhanced thereby mitigating the parking situation;
under the development agreement there must be some specific provisions
clear to both parties that would be easily administrable. He did feel
additional property zoning standards should be incorporated for projects of
this type. He was also concerned about raising the expectations of the
.,applicant by rezoning the property prior to the development agreement
coming back and could, therefore, not be supportive of the ordinance
amendment at this time.
Councilwoman Dovey agreed with Councilman Griffin as far as the city
working on additional property standards for this kind of project. However,
she could not support the zoning change as she felt it was spot zoning.
She supported elderly housing but there were too many problems inherent
with the project.. Particularly, parking was still a big problem: with the
enforcement, crossing of the-street, the safety issue, employee parking,
and parking in -lieu fees. She also felt that there was a lack of amenities
and-was especially concerned that.laundry facilities be provided. She also
felt that the units were•not following the definition for a studio. If the
project was approved it should be required to include the same requirements
for other projects in C -C zones, i.e. extending the B:I.A. boundaries,
parking, etc.
' Councilman Dunin stated the development agreement as originally submitted
would :provide flexibility to adjust the rules within reason. The development
agreement was the tool to make it work. He was pleased to see the building
reduced both in size and height, it improves the aesthetics. But he felt
that no matter what was done in the downtown it's going to be objectionable
to some people. Most of the speakers addressed the problem of parking, of
which he feels people can't make up their mind whether there is a parking
problem downtown or not. He encourages the mixed use concept. Senior
housing should be looked at as a special project in the future. Senior
housing is needed in the downtown and should be considered. The agreement
must be a binding one:. He would like to:include the amenities as originally
proposed, although not in the sametsize. He would like staff instructed to
prepare an additional interpretation of the C -C zone that would consider
senior citizens. He could support the project as proposed, waiting upon
the development agreement to.come, back. This should not be considered a
model, but rather an additional approach should be looked at.
Councilman Settle felt an elderly development project in the downtown was
extremely desirable as far as he was concerned, and he would urge support
of the project as well as introduction of the ordinance, with staff directed
to prepare the development agreement. He felt the elderly housing is an
important point, this is a difficult lot size; although the project was
substantially better than the previous proposal.:
Mayor Billig thanked the subcommittee for their work,and the owners for
their cooperation with the City. She felt the project provided a unique
_. opportunity with both the private and public sector, merits of the project
were very strong, downtown housing for this Council has been very important
for a long time. In a project like this we must look at the overall good
for.:the community._ The development agreement is a contract and the concerns
of both the public and the Council must be treated in an equitable fashion;.
She felt one must carefully outline the .parking problems in the.agr-eement.

After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilman Settle, seconded by'_
Mayor Billig; the following ordinance be introduced to print: Ordinance

Obispo amending the official zone map of the city to rezone property at
1220 Osos Street from 0 to C -C.

Further, staff be directed to prepare a draft development agreement as
discussed this evening with final passage of the ordinance to-come back at

and develop additional property development standards as it relates'to the
elderly and low- income housing in the downtown (5 -0).
6. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION
Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by. Thomas J. Lee-of a
decision by the Planning Commission approving a use permit for a fraternity
house at 280 California'Blvd., and consideration of reduced street yard
from 15 to 10 feet (continued from 7/5/83).
Toby Ross; Community Development Director, reviewed the council agenda
report (see file #407), stating the Planning Commission had approved:the
use permit with direction to redesign the project with a maximum of 19.
people and 19 vehicle parking spaces or eight bedrooms and 16 vehicle-
parking spaces. The project was granted final approval by ARC at the June
13, 1983, meeting. Staff was recommending Council adopt the resolution
denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission action in approving
the use permit with the revised.site plan,-reduced street yard setback on
Hathway Street frontage, and added conditions as noted in the resolution.
The primary problems or the key issues expressed in the appeal were density
and parking. Based on the zoning ordinance standards for maximum population
densities for group housing in the R -4 zone, it did allow for the 19
persons.
He also reviewed a letter received from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Paine, which
expressed their concerns that the parking was still inadequate; the-three-foot
fence along Hathway would inevitably become a ticket booth for TGIF parties;
further, the proposal called for moving the existing house 75 feet to the
northeast and adding two wings. They felt that was not reasonable given
that the building had termites. They also were concerned as the Police
Department has expressed serious reservations about the project, due to
numerous problems and complaints accrued in that location. They also felt
the fraternity itself was not a good organization and had problems everywhere
it had been thus far.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Barry Williams, 110 California Blvd. and applicant for the project; reviewed
the new plans, addressing the setback issue. The project will provide for
an 18 -foot setback and he cited two other properties in the same location
or in nearby locations that either had one -foot setbacks or six -foot '
setbacks: 'They would be adding a substantial amount.of landscaping; which
added to the merit of the project. It was going to continue as a one -story
structure, and he would urge Council's support.
Councilman Griffin questioned letter dated 7/12/83 by the owner which
indicated a lack of support to some conditions:,
Barry Williams stated that the property owner -does now support this,iplan.
However, the original plan was more favorable as it would be a savings of
over $20,000.
City Council Minutes
Tuesday, August 2, 1983 - 7:00 p.m.
Page 9
Martin Cook, 348 Hathway, was impressed with the Council's action to
reevaluate the access on California. He was still concerned about the
problems associated with the fraternity's previous behavior on Osos Street.
He was disappointed with the architect for not having gone to the residents
earlier to help explain the problems.
Joanne Ruggles, 151 Hathway, reaffirmed staff comments showing that Hathway
has already twice the traffic that it should. She would also prefer to see
' a slumpstone or masonry fence, 'rather than a three -foot wood fence. She
felt it would provide a more permanent solution supplemented with landscaping
than a wood fence would.
French Morgan, 258 California Blvd. and manager of an adjacent building,
reviewed his concerns: 1) the site itself is not properly zoned; 2) social
groups have more people coming and going than normal apartment building
dwellers. The current leadership is what is helping the fraternity now but
he questioned what would happen with a change of leadership. 3) The liquor
store is in too close a proximity, especially as this group has encouraged
drinking by students under 21. 4) He suggested a stop sign or something to
help solve the traffic problem on California. 5) He also questioned if the
fraternity is a. stopgap when actually a fraternity row is what should be
emphasized. He questioned: 1) what the possibility was of installing stop
signs; 2) what did the Community Development Director mean when he said
most of the restrictions had been met; 3) valet parking, what about new
leadership?
Toby Ross, Community Development Director, stated that party plans have to
be filed with-the Police Department, so a-mechanism is in place to have
everyone in the neighborhood aware of TGIF parties. Valet parking would be
a component of the permit and the fraternity can loose its use permit if
it's violated. With regard to his comment that the applicant had met most
of the requirements, he was referencing the parking and driveway standards.
There are some slight variations that are provided for, i.e. perpendicular
parking spaces.
Bill Shipsey, 795 Lincoln Avenue, felt this was an excellent project and
arrangement for both the community and the fraternity. As an alumni of the
fraternity, he was concerned with condition 12 limiting the party hours
from 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. In light of football games and other activities,
he felt the 10:00 p.m. deadline on Friday and Saturday nights was unrealistic.
Kathy Cook, 348 Hathway, supported the 10:00 p:m. deadline. She felt that
it was a residential area and that the fraternity should recognize that
there were other people who need their sleep.
Steve Ditman, an alumni of the fraternity and.a member since 1972, spoke in
support of the project and would urge Council's support.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.
After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilman Settle, seconded by
Councilman Dunin, the following resolution be introduced: Resolution No.
5189-(1983 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo denying the appeal and upholding a Planning Commission action to
approve use permit request allowing the fraternity-house Alpha Epsilon Pi
at 280 California Blvd. as amended. Amendments as follows:
Page- 6= 5,lparagraph six,- "NOW, -THEREFORE; the council-.resolves to deny the
appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval with additional
' conditions based on the following findings: 1. The proposed use as
conditioned will not be detrimental to the health, safety and.welfare of
persons living or working in the area."
Page 6 -6, condition #1, "No more than 19 persons including resident manager
shall reside at the house at any time." #2, "A minimum of 19 on -site
vehicular parking spaces, the maximum-number of six.bicycle spaces, and �Jo
three motorcycle spaces to city standards shall be provided and maintained
at all times for the intended use."

7. TREE COMMITTEE APPEAL - PRUNING REQUIREMENTS
Council considered an appeal by Gerald.Shusta of a Tree Committee decision
regarding tree pruning requirement at 98 Palomar Drive (continued from -
6/21/83).
Geoff Grote, Acting City Attorney, reviewed the agenda staff report (file
11505), stating that the staff had varied opinions as far as its recommendation.
However, the CAO's recommendation would be to approve the -resolution.,
declaring the two trees at 98 Palomar Drive to be "Heritage Trees" which
would - permit city maintenance. The.existing.city ordinance allows such
designation and would enable the city.to.fund the pruning in fiscal year
1984 -85.
Council briefly discussed the merits of whether or not these trees were
heritage in nature.
After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilman Settle,.seconded by
Councilman Griffin, to support the recommended action to declare these two
trees to be heritage.
Councilman Griffin -cited his reason for declaring the trees "heritage".,-due
to their "high value type or size" and its effect on this particular
neighborhood which is one definition specified in the ordinance that can be
used.
Motion failed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Settle and Griffin
NOES: Councilmembers Dovey, Dunin and Mayor Billig
ABSENT: None
After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilwoman Dovey, seconded
by Councilman Dunin, to deny the appeal.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Dovey, Dunin and Mayor Billig
NOES: Councilmembers Griffin and Settle
ABSENT: None
Councilwoman Dovey felt that you would either have to designate all eucalyptus
trees in the city as being historically significant or none: The next door
neighbor did not trim his trees, however, it was a requirement and there
should not be this type of deviation.
Councilman Dunin questioned what it was going to cost the taxpayers.
Dave Romero, Public Works Director, responded that it would be $1,200 for
two trees, or $6,000 for -the eleven trees which included the next.door.
C'0 M M U N I C A T I 0 N S
Councilman Dunin requested the record reflect retraction of a comment made
at a previous meeting concerning the Architectural Review Commission
requirement for "timber" buildings.
10:40 p.m. Mayor Billig adjourned the meeting to Closed Session to discuss
