BUSINESS ITEM
1. LAND USE ELEMENT ECONOMIC STUDY (Fide No.462)
Council considered the Land Use Element update and economic study scope.
Arnold Jonas.Community Development Director,reviewed the agenda report and proposed that following this
evenings meeting,an additional effort be put into the document by staff and the consultant. He was asking the
Council and the Planning Commission for direction concerning the desired scope and content of the economic
study. Staff would work with the consultant to refine the workscope and take the draft back to the Planning
Commission at its meeting of May 22,1991. The Planning Commission would then make its recommendations
to the Council.
Gil Hoffman.Chairman,Planning Commission,felt the questions and work scope did not address the question
regarding the economic effects of the Planning Commission draft Land Use Element. He thought a simple,
more economic approach was needed. (See file for complete letter)
Commissioner Gurnee felt the agenda report captured what he would like to see accomplished. He felt a
balance between economics and environmental concerns was necessary and a revaluation of the LUE update
from an economic perspective was warranted.

City Council Minutes Page 2
Monday,May 6,1991 -7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Komalds expressed concern for a lack of demographic and economic information. She
supported the agenda report.
Commissioner Karieskint was supportive of the staff report and the proposed timeline for LUE completion.
Commissioner Peterson supported the agenda report and expressed concern with answering the economic
questions.
Commissioner Schmidt did not feel the issue of maintaining agriculture within the city had been adequately
addressed. He would lila;to see the consultant come back with ideas for actions the city may take to maintain
agriculture within the city. He also expressed concern for the balance between economic and environmental
Issues. He felt the citizens deserved to know what cost additional growth would impose on them in terms of
additional City government and services.
Commissioner Williams was supportive of the proposed time frame. She felt a divergence between business
and environmental concerns existed in the community and saw the need for unification between the two. She
expressed concern for retaining a viable business sector and enhancing the open space through environmental
issues.
Councilwoman RaDua felt it was important not to confuse economic growth with housing unit growth or
population. She felt that the jobs to housing balance may need to be addressed with a regional approach. She
was supportive of the proposed timeline.
Councilman Roalman presented several questions be would like to see addressed by the consultant: 1) What
will be the positive and negative effects if the City adopts a 1% annual growth rate for residential and
commercial growth;2) What will be the marginal municipal costs of new development?;3)What City policies
will be needed to insure that new development pays for itself';4) How could externalities be quantified to look
at their effect on quality of life?;5) How can agriculture be maintained in the community?;6) In drafting the
LUE,what policies can be adopted to strengthen existing businesses?;7) What are the fiscal impacts of large
scale projects such as Walmart and Target?; 8) What level of economic activity is necessary to maintain
longterm viability?
Councilman Reiss supported the staff report and time schedule.
Councilwoman Pinard expressed concern for the City reaching a point where no more growth was wanted. She
felt existing land may be more effectively used and felt it was important to make better economic use of existing
buildings rather than heading toward sprawling growth,i.e. encouraging the use of two story buildings. She
also felt that increased fire,police,water,and sewer needed to be factored into the cost of growth.
Mayor Dunin also felt these was under-utilization of existing land. He felt the Circulation Element should
address ways to redirect the traffic imposed by commuters.
830 pm Mayor Dunin declared a recess.
8:45 p.m. City Council reconvened;all councilmembers and commissioners present.
Roberta Monday.consultant,briefly discussed two terms that were used this evening. The first was"overview".
She stated that her firm's approach to studies of this type is to give an overview relating existing city conditions
to what the future is likely to be and giving the necessary tools to move ahead. She understood the term
"professional" to mean objective and not moved by fads or whims. She expressed her firm's ability to
accomplish this. She would take into account the various views expressed this evening.
Council and the Planning Commission gave general consensus to the LUE Workscope and budget as discussed.
850 p.m. Mayor Dunin adjourned the Planning Commission to their next meeting.

2. SOUND AMPLIFICATION AFFECTING PUBLIC AREAS (File No.738)
Council considered sound amplification affecting public areas.
Arnold Jonas.Community Development Director,reviewed the current situation regarding the use of Mission
Plaza. He suggested that many uses can continue to take place simultaneously in the Plaza and the city should
work toward better regulation and coordination of activities. He was recommending sound amplification be
better regulated and coordinated. He suggested that the city continue to regulate the outdoor noise through
the use permit process.
Councilwoman Pinard felt that permits should be issued on a daily per event basis taking into account other
festivities that may be happening in the Plaza. She thought it was inappropriate to burden the Police
Department with enforcement of the use permits.
Councilwoman Ranna supported current regulations.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
Hans Drexler.representing Ellen Brooks and Mike Stanton,new owners of The Spindle,stated that the owners
were sensitive to the issues of loud music and were aware of past problems. They would like to use the outdoor
area for music and felt that their opportunities to provide entertainment would be limited if no amplification
were allowed.
Brett Cross.1217 Mariner's Cove,felt the music was a part of the Plaza and the problem was in enforcement,
not amplification.
Councilman Reiss was reluctant to limit the use to only non-amplified music. He felt this was a matter of
enforcing the use permit.
On general consensus, Council supported existing regulations,but encouraged better enforcement of existing
regulations-and coordination of events in and adjacent to Mission Plaza.
--------------
COMMUNICATIONS
COMM 1. Commissioner Kourakis. Planning Commission,encouraged the use of the Parks and Recreation
Commission to review and make recommendations concerning the Open Space Element instead of having an

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. BIKEWAY IMPROVEMENTS (File No.462)
Council held a public hearing to consider approving the installation of a bike path on California Blvd.,and bike
lanes on California Blvd.,Grand Avenue and Foothill Blvd.,granting the project a negative declaration subject
to mitigation measures to permit night parking on portions of California Blvd.and Grand Ave.,and directing
staff to proceed with desired improvements.
Dave Romero. Public Works Director, gave an extensive background of the Bikeway Improvement Program.
He is currently working under the Bicycle Facilities Plan adopted in May 1985. The plan uses II-B bicycle lanes
which are the safest for the rider. Progress has been slow because the plan requires street widening or the
removal of street parking. Council adopted a work program that called for the creation of a continuous
network of bikeways throughout the city to encourage bike use as an alternative to the automobile.
A committee of bicycle advocates and City staff was recommending that class II-B bike lanes should be
developed on six arterial streets on commuter routes leading to Cal Poly. The City currently has approximately
18 miles of Type B bike lanes. Staff resolved to bring the matter forward in two phases. Phase I involves
California Blvd.,Foothill Blvd.,and Grand Ave. He recommended approval of the installation of a bike path
on California Blvd.,and bike lanes on California Blvd., Grand Ave.,and Foothill Blvd.,granting the project
a negative declaration subject to mitigation measures A and B,which would permit night parking on portions
of California Blvd.and Grand Ave.,and directing staff to proceed with the desired improvements.
