Specifically, a 38,282 gross square foot Albertsons supermarket and 13,425 square feet of small shop space is proposed for Broad Street Plaza which could be expected to open in 1999. Thus, we have provided first (2000) and third (2002) full year sales estimates for the Albertsons unit in central San Luis Obispo. Background Over the past year, two major supermarkets averaging over 50,000 square feet in size opened stores in San Luis Obispo. Vons at Map Key 3 opened in July 1997 and was achieving sales averaging an estimated $510,000 per week following its off-site relocation venture at Tank Farm Road and Broad Street. Following Vons, Food 4 Less opened in 1998 at Map Key 7 and impacted Vons sales by an estimated 12%. Most severely impacted by Food 4 Less, however, was Lucky at Map Key 1. It is understood that the Lucky-Madonna Road store's volume was impacted by an estimated 25% in 1998, following the deployment of the Food 4 Less unit at Map Key 7. More distant competitors, Albertsons and Scolari's Market at Map Keys 5 and 6, are estimated to be achieving sales averaging 10% and 20% below year ago 1997 levels. Scolari's Market for example, lost about$50,000 a week following Vons opening at Map Key 3, followed by a $30,000 sales decrease after Food 4 Less opened. These, and other stores impacting the market area are highlighted on the accompanying trade area map and detailed in the appended competition table. Mr. Rob Strong March 9, 1998 - Page 2 At this time, a third new supermarket is contemplated for central San Luis Obispo at Map Key 100, which would be expected to impact sales at existing supermarkets throughout the defined marketing area. This combined impact or sales diversion estimate from all competition to the new Albertsons is currently projected at $201,000 (per attached Projected Market Place table). in weekly sales in 1998 dollars. And, as highlighted in the appended Sales Forecast table, Albertsons would be convenient to residents in Map Sectors 17, 19, and 20, where projected market shares range from 29% to 34% levels. Beyond these immediate sectors, however, projected penetration rates fall below 20% given the barriers to travel (e.g., Southern Pacific Railroad, Highway 101, downtown San Luis Obispo) impacting the site. Sales Forecast Market share figures for all of the trade area sectors are based on an average per capita weekly food expenditure (PCW) of $33.28. This PCW, when combined with the current trade area population of 46,125 yields a current weekly trade area food expenditure potential of $1.5 million. Sales Estimates Scenario 1 Proposed Albertsons (38,382 Gross Square Foot Store) First Year Third Year (2000) (2002) Average Weekly Sales $225,500 $227,900 Annual Sales $11,726,000 $11,850,800 All figures are shown in constant 1998 dollars and are based on the following assumptions: • The competitive environment will remain unchanged except for the opening of the Lucky in Los Osos. Lucky at Map Key 1 will remain open. • Population growth will occur as projected in this report. •. The IMAGE factor shown on the Market Place As Is table is the relative ranking of each existing store in the market. An IMAGE of 100 would be average. While IMAGE is generated by the gravity model, it is dependent on the input variables as well as the analyst's assessment of the input variables. Once.the model is "in balance," the subject site is input, and a sales forecast is generated and confirmed by Thompson Associates. Rompson sociates John S.Thompson.Foender Mr. Rob Strong March 9, 1998 Page 3 Site Characteristics and Accessibility The site is currently a vacant parcel fronting heavily trafficked Broad Street. The revised site plan calls for two outparcels to face Broad Street and a 38,382 gross square foot supermarket to anchor the center. The proposed market would be situated directly behind the existing fire station on Alphonso Street. Thus, the center would be bounded by Roundhouse Road, Santa Barbara Street/Broad Street, Alphonso Street, and the Southern Pacific Railroad to the rear. Site plans illustrate two major entrances serving Broad Street Plaza along Broad Street. A traffic signal at the center's main entrance at Alphonso Street facilitates overall access to the center, while a second entrance by the shop space allows for right-in and right-out traffic movement from Broad Street. Overall, access to the site is unique from throughout the market area. Downtown traffic from the north can reach the site via Santa Barbara Street or Broad Street, but Broad Street is primarily a secondary north/south thoroughfare from the downtown area and is a narrow, two lane, heavily congested arterial. The proposed center would increase the traffic flow along this street and is certain to cause further congestion along Broad Street. Access from the east is limited as the Southern Pacific Railroad forms a barrier to the site. Residents east of Southern Pacific Railroad are forced to use either Johnson Street/Buchon Street to the north or Orcutt Street to the south to reach the site. Pismo Street/Buchon Street, however, leads directly into the downtown area and diverts shoppers onto Santa Barbara Street. Access from the west and southwest is very good. Madonna Road and South Street are both wide thoroughfares which lead directly to the site and collect shoppers from the western and southern portions of the market area. Meanwhile, Broad Street, south of the site, is a multi-laned arterial which easily serves the southern portion of the trade area. Land use around the site is mixed. Directly across the street is a vacant gas station and a church. North of the proposed center is a Pizza Hut on one corner, and a laundromat and liquor store on the other. South of the site is a car dealership and to the northeast a home improvement center. Multi- and single-family housing are found primarily west of the site or east of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Unless or until the Bishop Street/Roundhouse Avenue crossing of Southern Pacific Railroad occurs, the site is not convenient to eastern San Luis Obispo. Please refer to the attached aerial photograph for further detail. Trade Area and Population For the purpose of this analysis, Thompson Associates was requested to utilize all of the city of San Luis Obispo and portions of the unincorporated areas as shown on the accompanying map. It was necessary to incorporate all of the major food operators serving this area to understand the dynamics of the marketplace. ompson ssociates Jopn S.Thompson.Founder Mr. Rob Strong March 9, 1998 - Page 4 There are approximately 46,125 persons currently residing within the defined trade area. This number is projected to increase to 47,059 by the year 2002. This represents a 2% increase over the forecast period which translates to a compounded 0.5% annual growth rate. Competition Seven chain supermarkets and one small independent store were utilized in our MODEL analysis and were determined to impact the overall trade area. Lucky with two small supermarkets has the most stores impacting the trade area, while Vons, Albertsons, Food 4 Less, Scolari's Market, and New Frontier, each operate one unit in San Luis Obispo. Opened in 1997, Vons at Map Key 3 is the highest volume supermarket surveyed in our analysis. This store has high customer service standards and no sister stores in the trade area. It also draws well from higher income census tracts in San Luis Obispo. Scolari's Market, opened in 1994, serves the downtown area of San Luis Obispo and is achieving sales estimated at$295,000 in weekly sales. Albertsons (Map Key 5)achieves average market sales for the defined trade area, but is expected to lose 20% of its sales to the proposed Lucky in the neighboring community of Los Osos. New Frontiers (Map Key 4) is a Utah based natural food chain, and recently opened at the former Williams Brother market building at Map Key 4. The store is achieving estimated sales.of $65,000 per week. Excluded from our analysis are the specialty operators (leakage sales of$255,000 weekly) like Trader Joe's and Smart & Final. These types of units do not directly compete with traditional supermarkets, and in many cases are encouraged to cotenant sites with other food store operators. These types of units draw good regional sales to a.site and feature a variety of close- out and institutional brand merchandise. Any new supermarkets entering San Luis Obispo would in our opinion, not impact these types of stores. Thompson 'associates John S.Tnompsan.Founder Mr. Rob Strong March 9, 1998 Page 5 Supermarket Impact Analysis The following table summarizes the projected sales impact a new Albertsons store in central San Luis Obispo would have on existing competition: Estimated Impacted By Percent Map Key Store 1998 Sales Albertsons Impact 1 Lucky-Madonna $160,000 -$20,500 12.8% 2 Lucky-Foothill $215,000 -$26,440 12.3% 3 Vons $450,000 -$47,760 10.6% 4 New Frontier $65,000 -$82180 12.6% 5 Albertsons $230,000 -$191500 8.5% 6 Scolari's Market $295,000 -$49,960 16.9% 7 Food 4 Less $310,000 -$23,110 7.5% 8 Kaney's $35,000 -$5,540 15.8% $200,990 11.4% Conclusions • The proposed Albertsons will derive a minimum of 90% of its potential sales by diverting or reducing existing sales from other centers, more distant Albertsons and Food 4 Less will experience less than a 10% impact. • The primary trade area of Albertsons proposed supermarket is already served by five similar stores: Albertsons, Lucky, Scolari's Market, Vons, and Food 4 Less.

The total approved plan provides for 176,538 square feet, approximately 50,000 square feet of which is not yet constructed and about half of which is not yet committed. Essentially, the phased construction has been continuous and the center very successful, despite the recent reduction in trade due to the opening of a large new Food 4 Less at the opposite end of Tank Farm Road. Both the Marigold Center and the new Higuera Plaza have approximately 50,000 square feet of potential additional retail space to complete in accordance with their approved plans, however. Last year, we expressed concem that the 1994 General Plan, which we considered before making our development decision, was about to be changed by Albertson's application. We appreciate that the City council prevented this major alteration to the commercial development pattern by denying that change before Vons and Food 4 Less were opened. We continue to be opposed to the revised Albertson's Broad Street Plaza, in part because of the congestion it would create at the critical intersection of Broad and South Street, and because it is contrary to the General Plan for the City's commercial growth. Dividing the community trade area into too many centers serving the same areas only reduces the success of the existing stores and diverts local traffic to new locations. The plans for completion of existing centers, including ours, could be delayed by this change to the General Plan and zoning.

Box 8100 _ San Luis Obispo, CA 93406 RE: March 173 1998, Public Hearing Item #8; Appeal of Planning Commission Action, General Plan ,Amendment 145-97 Dear Council Members: Attached please find our position statement and some background materials for your consideration in connection with the Private Industry Council ' s appeal of the unanimous Planning Commission recommendation against General Plan Amendment GPA 145-97. As you know, the proposed amendment seeks to extend . the defined "tri- polar social services center" to the site of P. I .C. ' s current leased premises. It is our hope that the deliberations on this item address the planning issues of land use and transportation/circulation , rather than the Private Industry Council ' s agency relationships. We feel the P. I .C. provides .a valuable service to our county , but think it is wrong for any entity , public or private, to modify important General Plan principles to suit their own non-compliant condition . Thank you in advance for your attention. As you know our properties on South Higuera Street near Prado Road are impacted heavily by land use activities that challenge the logical tri- polar concentration of government offices. Sincerely, WALTER BROS. CONST. CO. , INC. Donald C. Walter President WALTER BROTHERS PROPERTIES' POSITION STATEMENT P.I.0/CAMPANILE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA 145-97) MARCH, 1998 . 1. Introduction We take no exception to the services that PIC, EDD,Cuesta College's job placement office and the GAIN program provide and do not necessarily challenge the concept of one-stop job shopping. We feel strongly, however,that proposed General Plan Amendment GPA 145-97 is misguided from a planning point of view. 2. Brief Background a. The tri polar social services center has been in place in its current location . since the late 1970's. b. This is a successful public-private partnership between the City and landowners like Walter Brothers wherein the landowners accept restrictions on tenant uses and provide additional infrastructure(bus stop,traffic signal, above-ordinance parking, etc.) in exchange for having public and quasi-public social services tenants directed by policy to this vicinity. C. In 1992 the designated extent of the tri polar center was more than doubled, incorporating the 40 Prado Road property and extending to the west in recognition that this was the appropriate direction for expansion. d. Since 1992 no new construction to accommodate social service uses has proven justified in the expansion area. 2. Demand for a massive expansion of the tri polar social services center to the south Is.non-existent. a. Government agencies continue to downsize and consolidate—Walter Brothers has recently seen Water Resources close an office and the Internal Revenue Service plan a reduction in spaces within their buildings. b. Reasonably priced lease space is available in existing, General Plan compliant buildings;Walter Brothers alone can make up to 17,000 square feet available within the near future. C. A substantial amount of General Plan compliant land area is available for new construction, on the land west of Wager Brothers, on Walter Brothers'own property, and surrounding the County Dept of Social Services. The lack of new construction reflects the lack of basic demand. d. The County decided not to proceed with its second Social Services building southeast of the Prado/Higuera intersection, again because of the lack of need for new social services office space. 3. Office uses that serve public and quasi-public social service functions are transportation intensive,which the proposed expansion area is il"ufted to accommodate. a. Agency clients need a safe, comfortable,weather protected transit stop immediately adjacent to their destination, due to difficulties attendant to mild disabilities, baby strollers, and pedestrian/vehicle conflicts inherent incrossing Prado Road or Higuera Street, as well as simple convenience. b. These agencies need higher long term and short term parking than most C-S uses,which do not exist in the light industry oriented developments south of Prado Road. C. The regionality of the tri polar social services center encourages a stronger link to the freeway,to the west, and not a sprawl to the south along Higuera Street. -- Page 2 •r 4. This proposal constitutes gerrymandered planning to suit one inappropriately located office. a. Other large landowners that would be affected are either uninterested in, or opposed to, incorporation into the tri polar center(Tenwise Park,the Eagles Lodge, NuSeals Inc.,and others). It is absurd,for instance,for 84 Lumber and Pacific Access to be part of the tri polar center. . b: The General Plan should by definition be a document that anticipates future growth on the basis of City-wide demographics and circulation patterns, and should not be radically impacted by what amounts to an eccentric force. 5. We request that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation against General Plan Amendment GPA 145-97,and that the current extent of the tri polar social services center,which has been so often reviewed and reiterated, remain as-is.

Settle City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Re: Governmental Office Space in San Luis Obispo Dear Mayor Settle: I know that I have expressed to you previously my sincere thanks for your efforts last year in helping to retain the State Employment Development Department in the City of San Luis Obispo. I am confident that your communications to Senator Jack O' Connell to retain such offices within our City , and to confirm the City' s maintenance of land use policies to encourage convenient public access to these offices, were essential elements in the ultimate decision of the EDD to keep its offices an South Higuera Street. As -you may know, EDD is now in the process of dividing its operations so that the Unemployment Insurance division - will operate out of one office, while the Job Services unit will engage in a joint venture with the Private Industry Council and the Federal GAIN Program to accommodate a "one stop career center" . From the information which I have been providedandhi program would be very beneficial to our community , certainly support any efforts which would assist the unemployed to re-enter the work force. I am concerned , however, with recent indications that the joint program might be located outside of the tandpwell away from olar area to a convdrted body shop without adequate parking , a safe walking distance to public transportation . We have made clear to the representatives of the Private Industry Council (who appear to be the guiding force behind the joint project) that ' space will be available at the Charles I . Walter Center which will more than meet the needs of the "one stop career center" . As you know, the tri-polar policy was adopted specifically to address such one stop" governmental uses, and the goals of the combined program would certainly be better served at the current governmental center than converted industrial or warehouse space outside of the tri-polar area. Such an action would undermine the basis for thetri-polar policy , which has been repeatedly confirmed by the City .Council for .the .past 20 years. Again, it is my sincere belief that the combined program among a ., quasi—governmental entity and two government agencies • will be a boon to our community_. For the sake of consistency of our City' s policy , however, and the safety and convenience of the public to be served by this joint program, it would seem appropriate that the project remain within the area specifically . zoned for such use. I have enclosed certain documents which might be useful in your review of this matter, and I would appreciate your thoughts on these issues. I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

BOX 809 SAN LUIS OBISPO,CALIIFORIGIA 93406 July 1, 1997 Arnold Jonas Community Development Department City of San Luis Obispo, 990 .Palm Street San Luis-Obispo, CA 93401 Dear Mr. Jonas: Since our last discussion , the Private Industry Council ' s (P. I .C. ) plan to expand government offices at 3566 South Higuera has become an imminent reality . This occurs despite the City- granted use permit strictly prescribing P. I .C. ' s operations in the converted body shop at that address, and lends additional urgency to this letter. As you know, the tri-polar concept embodied in the General Plan has worked well to consolidate government service facilities in centralized locations, with safe, convenient access to parking and public transportation . Today , facilities specifically developed to city standards to provide for public access to government offices, such as those at the Charles I . Walter Center, continue to offer safe, one-stop easy access to much- needed services for citizens of all ages, means and abilities. Still , continuing pressure in the private sector to disperse government office space inappropriately throughout the city has threatened to fragment the plan' s effectiveness requiring constant vigilance on the City 's part. Now, 'the current crisis precipitated by the P. I .C. ' s plan involves more than a single agency ' s attempt to stray outside the Tri-polar zone and to thwart the city ' s effort to constrain inappropriate uses at 3566 South Higuera. -If successful , the plan would draw the EDD' s Job Services Unit away from it' s fully- complying long-term tenancy at the Walter Center. The Job Services. Unit, one . of the most publicly accessed services in the city is currently located immediately adjacent to a full pull-out bus stop at .a site where, public parking is available at twice the quantity required for general offices, in a fully accessible office facility . . The Job Services Unit would end up in a complex designed to house storefronts and other strip mall uses, a location that is currently under-supplied with parking for offices uses, and located well away from safe walking distance to public transportation . I . have no quarrel with P. I .C. ' s success in promoting economic. vitality in San Luis Obispo. But if the P: I .C. wants to forge stronger ties to governmental services , and seeks to blend its . T� services with those of the EDD, then the P. I .C. should relocate- to appropriate facilities where those services currently. operate. And it . makes no sense for EDD to abandon good facilities, withdrawing. from convenient public access, to locate where the City would never knowingly grant permission for - use. Reorganization currently underway at EDD could accommodate the P. I .C. ' s needs. The EDD' s Unemployment Insurance Unit . will separate from the Job Services Unit and could move into smaller-. offices`'in`the 3220 Building at Walter Center. This would allow the Job Services Unit. and . P. I .C. to consolidate into the current EDD of.tice at 3.196 South . ' Higuera later this year. The 3196 building offers 12,000 square feet of fully accessible first rate office space, familiar to the public and prime located in the tri-polar zone. I urge the City to resist the P. I .C. ' s blatant and misguided effort to contravene City planning policy, because if successful , the.-city ' s ability to preserve the integrity of the tri-polar plan will have suffered a major precedent-setting blow that could effectively nullify a venerable and effective 25-year-old component of the General Plan . The City owes itself and it' s citizens an obligation to preserve the tri-polar plan in San Luis Obispo because it serves all citizens' needs for access to services and promotes city goals of efficient transportation, coherence in physical planning and the mutual advantages of public-private cooperation in facilities development. The City has certainly benefitted from it' s special conditions on the *development of the Charles I . Walter Center, and those benefits are still critically important to the public good.

Mayor Settle has asked that I respond to your inquiry. The City shares Mr. Walter's concern regarding the inconsistency of the PIC proposal with the City's General Plan and zoning regulations. Unfortunately, PIC management initiated the mechanics of their idea before consulting the City regarding these or other possible issues, resulting in a potentially contentious situation. Subsequent to learning of PIC's plans, City staff have held several meetings with PIC representatives to explain City regulations, and explore potential alternatives. I understand that they have also now had several contacts with Mr. Walter exploring the availability of office space to implement alternative solutions which would comply with City goals. City policies and regulations clearly prohibit the proposed combination of direct public serving employment activities by public agencies at the current PIC location. PIC is operating as a training facility, or school, in an area planned for commercial service and with an approved City Use Permit. EDD is now located in a facility owned by Mr. Walter that is specifically planned, and promoted by the City, for public social service activities. GAIN is currently located outside the City. A very limited placement service(say two employees) for students or graduates of the PIC training program could logically be accepted as an accessory use to the main educational function. A full service placement program serving both the PIC students and all other community members would not be acceptable. Therefore, the preferred solution from the City's view would be for PIC and Gain to move to the Walter Center withEDD, establish their one-stop center, and remain fully in compliance with our land use Policies and zoning regulations. Most other solutions will require significant amendments to the text and Land Use Map of the City General Plan, and text of the Zoning Regulations. OThe City of San Luis Obispo is committed to include the disabled in all of its services, programs and activities. - - �� Telecommunications Device for the Deal(805) 781-7410 - Hopefully, those measures will prove to be unnecessary.

Walter, President Walter Bros. Construction Co.. Inc. P.O. Box 809 San Luis Obispo, CA 93406 Dear Mr. Walter. Governor Wilson has asked me to reply to your letter concerning the Employment Development Department's (EDD's) plans for future field operations at your property located at 3196 South Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo. All State agencies are in the process of restructuring their operations and revitalizing their services in an attempt to maximize existing assets while moving into the automated Age of Information. The EDD has found that a positive by product of its strategic plan for improved efficiency and better service is reduced statewide lease costs. Consistent with EDD's Strategic Business.Plan,field offices as we know them today, will downsize, centralize and/or collocate with community partners to leverage combined resources. An early draft of EDD's Strategic Business Plan proposed downsizing San Luis Obispo. -That d'irec dcIn has been revised,and ithas-been-determined that additional services wr71 remain In SanUft Obispo. The intent is to peiform operations in San Luis Obispo at the currenf location: The Department is cuiregtly analyzing its space needs and assessing options to remain in your building. Once EDD fully assesses its facility needs in the San Luis Obispo area, the Department will determine if mutually agreeable lease terms can be negotiated. Please direct any questions regarding this correspondence to Diana Dorsey at (916) 653-6343.

Higuera Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Dear Norie: As the owner and manager of the government center on South Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo, I am concerned about a shut down of your office. The Employment Development Department at 3196 South Higuera Street, located in 12,000 square . fleet, has occupied this space since April'.of 1975. For the last flew years, we have heard rumors of EDD office closures, downsizing, and consolidations. We have been issued one one—year extension on the lease, which . covered April 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995. At that time, they issued an amendment to the lease which is on a month—to—month basis, and covers April 1, 1995 through May 31 , 1997. In 1977, we worked hard with the State and City officials to get the -EDD office zoned and built. With the help of all the officials, the project was completed and occupied. six months later. Norie, as we have discussed in the past, I feel I have been fair with the rate, which is currently at .964 per square foot (x11 ,565.00) per month. You are a great asset and tenant and I don' t want to loose you. I • have expressed many times to the State — let' s talk about a long range plan that can save the taxpayers money and give great service to the community . As I stated above, I am willing to talk rate, time, improvements, and I .E. The EDD •office is a vital function of the government center. Its closure could start a crumbling . effect in the center for other . agencies that are dependent upon certain government offices. -. .... ... / I feel the imminent closure of this government office wou]•d be detrimental. to the public 'and to the County of San Luis Obispo. Any assistance you can 'provide will be appreciated . Thank you very much for your. time and consideration. . Sincerely , AC OS. CONST. CO. , INC. .

The JS Program provides comprehensive services to'our primary customer,.the employer. Services include facilitating the match between employer vacancies and qualified. job seekers; reemployment services and administration of the FUTA work test for unemployment insurance claimants; and labor market, employment and training resources, and tax credit incentives information. These services support our commitment to local economic development and workforce preparation which create jobs and economic stability for Jobseekers and communities. The JS is an integral part of Califomia's workforce development strategy at state and local levels and is a core service in the One-Stop Career Center system. The JS staff must continue to know about local labor market and economic conditions; therefore, the majority of staff are deployed locally, many collocated with partner agencies. Technology, self-help, and remote access are the primary tools which allow us to be more efficient, and to expand the range of employer, jobseekers and employment and training partners that use our services. Our long range goals are to serve more employers and fill more jobs, connect more people with.employment and with workforce preparation service, and manage in a partnership environment.

Provide job search and placement services for jobseekers • Provide labor market information to employers, jobseekers and others including policy makers, economic developers, economists, and planners In order to: • Meet employer's workforce needs • Promote economic security for workers, reemployment of unemployment insurance claimants, and assure priority services to veterans • Support state and local economic development y... a >kr 4 Y m ............................................. Job Service will remain at the local level. Job Service staff must continue to know about local economic conditions and employer and job seeker needs. The program will continue to integrate into the local workforce development system in support of the local economy. One means of integration is through participation in OneStop Career Centers in a manner consistent with pending legislation and state policy. Job Service will not be leaving communities. As the opportunity arises, we will be choosing facilities that better meet our needs.' In coordination with the Unemployment Insurance plan, we are reviewing office location's, size of facilities, and lease expirations. By looking for partners to share - rent costs, or moving to smaller, more efficient EDD premises, we can maintain our accessibility to the public. To increase access to the Job Service program, we-will be implementing some of the self-help options identified in our Strategic Plan. These automated systems are designed to improve and expand services. Our in-person services will also be available for those who need more assistance or are not able to take full advantage of automated access systems. Increased use of self-help programs, SHARE, Direct Applicant Entry, and Labor Market Information On-Line, will improve services to jobseekers. as well as making the processes more efficient. Jobseekers will enter their own applications from terminals in field office lobbies and selected”" remote locations, making it more convenient to register for work- The SHARE system contains a complete listing of current.job orders, -with..employer names and addresses suppressed.--Using- - I ^ SHARE, jobseekers will scan.job orders and self-select an opening for referr41,by EDD staff. Jobseekers will also access labor market information on line, for planning their work setreF."- fith this combined system, jobseekers can easily obtain a helpful job service at the same time they . register for work. The target date for implementing these three programs is September, 1996. For the long term, the Job Service will be involved in extensive planning with the employment and training community to meet our objectives of full integration with block grant. We will also be expanding our use of self-help systems and adding options for employers to .make our services . . more accessible. ' f We are confident that we can continue to serve employers,jobseekers, and local communities.

With increased emphasis.on performance based accountability, there is a need to: • Integrate performance indicators used to measure,the success of the Job Services (JS) program with indicators being developed for accountability of the State's workforce preparation system, and • Establish performance expectations for the JS program that will ensure that the needs of the program's customers are being adequately addressed. The State Job Training Coordinating Council, as part of the One-Stop Vision/Plan and through their Performance Based Accountability subcommittee, are recommending a number of core measures through which the performance of the state's employment, training, and education programs can be evaluated. The measures that most closely relate to the objectives of the JS program are jobseekers entering employment and customer satisfaction. In reviewing the types of performance measures currently used, or in development for, the JS program, we have the: • Measures of Success Reports, developed to provide JS outcome data; • Field Office Basic Evaluation System (FOBES) which is currently being redesigned to enable less labor-intensive reviews of process quality; and • Customers Satisfaction System, a series of-:customer satisfaction tools that have been developed and are slated for pilot testing this Summer. In view of the performance measures being proposed for the state's workforce preparation programs and the data currently available to measure the performance of the JS program, Operations Branch has adopted a package of Performance Indicators for the JS program for program year 1996-97. RM ,. . .. Outcome Measure Using program year 1994/95 as a base, two general outcome measures have been adopted. They are: • We will at a minimum maintain the program year 199495 job opening fill level, i.e. `number of job openirfgs filled. While the goal level for the state and for an area might be expressed as job orders filled, the goal for an individual office may be expressed in terms of placement transactions accomplished: This is because the Job Match system credits job orders filled to the order holding office and placement transactions to the referring. office. Therefore, to obtain data.on who is actually taking the action to fill a job opening, especially in areas served by central order taking systems, the appropriate indicator would need to be placement transactions. • We will at a minimum maintain program year 199495 entered employment levels for jobseekers who receive some type of employability .service such as.. Job Search Workshops (i.e the number of individuals entering employment. after receipt of an employability service). Process Measures , In seeking to attain the specified goal level for job openings filled,offices should:' Monitor job opening fill rates, referral-to-hire ratios, and the characteristics of applicants placed and orders filled to ensure quality and balance are maintained. • As customer satisfaction data becomes available from the customers satisfaction surveys and process quality information is available in FOBES, these measures should be used for continuous process improvement. Future Measures • As reporting systems. are enhanced to capture additional output or process data, additional measures may be added to measure features such as numbers of employers using'the system, numbers of jobseekers accessing the system, and results of on-line customer feedback. JOB SERVICE(JS) 3/25/96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS(Q&A) ' Q. What should be our priorities? ' A. With our regular JS funding,we should ensure that our legislatively mandated services are provided. That is, filling employer job orders, helping jobseekers find jobs, and administering the work test for unemployment insurance clients. These primary services should be incorporated into the local employment and training system. For dedicated funding, our services should meet the requirements of the funding source. Q. Is the JS program going to be contracted out? A. We doubt that the JS program will be contracted out The Governor, in efforts to make state government more cost effective and efficient, has initiated a project called California Competes. Each state agency has been asked to identify the core services provided and to evaluate options for the delivery of those services. The options include contracting the service out The JS Division as made the recommendation that the JS program be retained as a state administered program. _However, it must be improved to be more relevant, credible, cost effective and customer focused. Q. .How can we increase our level of services while our budget is being reduced? A. In order to provide a more relevant level of service to all of our customers with reduced resources we need to focus our efforts. That means the use of technology to eliminate many of our-labor intensive functions, the adoption of more.self-help and group activities, and the leveraging of our resources with partners to avoid duplication. Increased use of self-help programs such as SHARE, Direct Applicant Entry, and Labor Market Information On-Line, will improve efficiency by enabling job seekers to do the data _ entry and searches that EDD staff must do at present Job seekers will.enter.their own applications from terminals in field office (FO) lobbies and selected remote locations. :The SHARE system contains a complete listing of current job orders,with employer names and addresses suppressed. Using SHARE,job seekers will scan job orders and self-select an opening for referral by EDD staff. Job seekers will also access labor market information on-line, for planning their work search. With this combined system,job seekers can easily obtain a helpful job service at the same time they register.The target date for implementing these three programs is September, 1996. In-person services will continue to be available for jobseekers who cannot make full use of automated systems. The JS will also place an emphasis on traditional means of service delivery that have proved to be cost effective. More extensive use of group processes, such as our - successful Job Search Training Workshops, and peer-assisted self-help programs -- modeled on EDO's Experience Unlimited program,will enable JS to provide services more - ----:. efficiently. - JS Q&A 3/25/96 Q What will EDD's role in welfare reform be? •r' A. The EDD will support the Govemor's efforts to reform the state's welfare system and assist in moving welfare recipients to work. In reviewing what our role might be we first looked at statistics to determine what services we are already providing to welfare . recipients. Since we realize that the number of welfare recipients that self-identify welfare status to us is limited, our MIS unit ran job match applicant files against files listing all California welfare recipients. The results of those data runs indicated that we are already serving a much higher percent of welfare recipients than our own reports indicate. In SFY 1994/95, approximately 370,000 welfare recipients were registered with the JS program which is 35.5 percent of all registrants,.,-Of these, 164,000 were AFDC recipients (15.8 percent of all registrants). The JS program placed approximately 66,000 welfare recipients (37.2 percent of all individuals placed). :Of these, 31,000 were AFDC recipients (17.6 percent of all individuals placed). Additional efforts to support welfare reform proposed for the coming year include: • Increased emphasis on the identification of entry level jobs and the development of an easy to use, automated, job listing system through which entry level workers can self-screen for these job openings an • Marketing to counties of servic _ provide f nts under reimbursable contracts. It should be noted that since welfare reform is still in the planning stages within the state, and still subject to federal legislative changes, our planned role is tentative pending negotiation with partners. We are also examining the relationship between Welfare Reform and the Intensive Services Program. No final decisions have been made at this time. Q Is there a renewed emphasis on production and counting numbers? c A. Yes. Federal and state legislation, as well as sound management practices, require performance-based accountability. The JS will place an increased emphasis on measuring outcomes such as: • Job openings filled, • Placements, • Obtained employments, • Costs of providing services, and Custorrier-satisfaction. Performance accountability is not just numbers but also includes measuring the qualitative value we and our customers are getting from the program. This information will help FO staff to better meet the needs of their employer and job seeker customers. Use of the Measures of Success reports will provide FOs with data to assist with oversight and planning. -2- _. v:.. .........:.::.:.4.::::.::..r'.. :: ':'C..} :'W:n i A:fv'.v. :H.•.v.S,',f!"f wS.;.vn;n... ...::ii..i.:.i:v.:.....:...0.: ;..:� ..f... n. ,.n.ni.. .x. .n...{..v.n:.......... y:.....v4:..: v:..}}Ar,a..

It was developed as a short-term wage replacement program and operated in local communities providing in-person service. This was the national model that every state implemented in the 1930s and operated until today. The demand for service has changed and the traditional neighborhood field office for filing UI claims no longer meets..the needs of all of our customers. In 1994, the Operations Branch Senior Management Team developed the Strategic Plan. As program operators we were faced with numerous challenges, including: • Program funding from the federal. government continued to decline. • Customer service demands continued to increase. • Federal initiatives, e.g., One Stop Centers, Profiling, created increased service demands With decreased funding. • The trends toward Total Quality Management in the private and public sectors demanded that government re-engineer business processes and seek continuous improvement of operations. The antiquated view"if it isn't broken don't fix if is no longer acceptable. We are all accountable for effective and efficient quality operations. We must anticipate the needs of our customers and find reasonable solutions to providing quality service. Our goal is to expand access to all of our services while deploying our resources in a manner that increases the efficient and effective use of those resources. We believe the solution is using technology to give us the appropriate tools and combining it with the best asset the Department has to offer our staff. A prime example is telephone claim filing. Telephone claim filing uses a technological solution that is readily available statewide—the. telephone. A telephone is more accessible than the comer gas station, neighborhood ATM or the local EDD office. According to the 1990 U.S. Census, 97 percent of households reported having a telephone. We believe that the skills and knowledge of our staff coupled,with telephone technology makes this program universally accessible anywhere in the state. In fact, it is our goal by the year 2000 to serve 90 percent of our customers by telephone. We acknowledge some of our customers will continue to prefer to come in-person to an office due to literacy or language problems. However, we will actively work to educate all of our customers concerning the use of the system and the ease of filing by phone. We believe that telephone claim filing will be the preferred system to file for UI services. As customers select the telephone system over in-person reporting we will transition work from local to regional sites. As the work is shifted, we will not have layoffs. We will use attrition and redirection to accommodate all of our staff. By the end of 1997: • Regionalized information call centers will have been in operation over a year and a half. • All transitional and primary adjudication centers will have been established statewide. • The consolidation of the recomputation hubs into three centers will have been completed and operational for over two and a half years. ---- .a a »;,v.w,w'£'..ur<as:{: r" a H$.x �::%na"{33'+i:. .v.v a„• os::,Cfa�^'..::s';.sxaraFr .'>rr:ec}••}::7.£s2:'^.'moi?,}x;:H;{ix'k:;�:^ � f';r&°�"s3k$'r:: :.

The consolidation of UI staff and service points will benefit the program in the long-term. With the implementation of telephone claim filing, we will still offer in-person claim filing. However, we believe that the demand for local in-person UI service will decline. The telephone allows the UI program to be universally. accessible electronically (by telephone) in the local One-Stop Career Centers, welfare offices or any other location where clients may need our services. Regionalization provides us with an opportunity to identify ways to maximize our shrinking resources and improve our services. We have the facilities to accommodate consolidated services and 89 percent of our full-time staff live within 35 miles of a proposed transition or primary center. *The regionalization of UI allows us to reevaluate our premises needs and reduce the size of facilities when we require less space.

Councilmember Allen Settle: On behalf of Walter Bros. Construction Co. , Inc. , I would like to put into simple perspective the policies that would once again allow the dispersal of government office uses outside the tri- polar concept currently contained in the General Plan. I have forwarded to you -- perhaps inundated you -- with a lengthy documentation on the history and success of the City' s tri-polar policy. All the letters, graphs, lists, and statements contained in these materials have hopefully been useful to you. But their sheer volume has probably numbed you to our simple position. Our position on this matter is as follows: 1 . The tri-polar policy, South Higuera, Prado Road location should be maintained and expanded by increasing the size of the region covered by each of the poles; thereby providing for and protecting governmental uses in logical , localized, and identifiable areas in the community as government space needs increase. 2. Historically, the City's government office location policies have been a critical part of the City' s General Plan since 1977. Any change to those policies or reconsideration of them was accomplished through the comprehensive Land Use Element Update. 3. In the short to mid-term, facilities at the current South Higuera, Prado Road government office complex are or can be made to be adequate to handle government office demand as demonstrated in the attached 5-year government office space projection. Councilmember Allen Settle Page 2 November 10, 1994 4. Long-term government expansion needs could be handled by expanding the Charles I Walter Center Prado-South Higuera "pole" , and then expanding to the west across San Luis Creek to create a new government office complex on the extensive vacant .lands in this area. A comprehensive, well-planned government office complex could be sited and become a focal point of improvement of this portion of the community. Centering on San Luis Creek, a new "Mission Plaza South" could be created with pedestrian bridges connecting a new government. office complex on the west side of San Luis Creek with the Walter Bros. Complex currently on the east side of the creek. Such a complex would be readily accessible from the freeway and integrated transportation programs could be developed. �.:.. I hope that you will continue to support the tri-polar concept. Sincerely , WALTER BROS. CONST. CO. , INC. Donald C. .Walter President .J ————————————- I FIGURE 4 CAL POLI .. .

Toby Ross CO`i�t.umoia Co.,Inc _ Community Development Director City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street P.O. Box 321 San Luis Obispo, CA 93406 - 0321 Dear Mr. Ross: Thank you for your letter of -January 9, 1984, expressing the City's interest in assisting the State of California in•finding properly zoned office space in the San Luis Obispo area. The Department of Transportation (CalTrans) recently experienced a staff ex- pansion necessitating an immediate need of office space within their own building at 20 S. Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo. Space leased to other State agencies within their building will be terminated as early as March 31, and June 30, 1984. The Office of Space Management has been requested by these agencies to locate suitable office quarters within the San Buis Obispo area. The first group to be relocated will be the Employment Development Department's (EDD) office staff. We have found acceptable space on the 3rd floor of an office complex located at 3220 S. Higuera Street. We have been working with Mr. Don Walters and Mr. Keith Gurnee to consummate an acceptable lease with an occupancy date set for March 15, 1984. To this end we appreciate your assistance in expediting the issuance of a building permit and plan checking. In the very near future we will be again looking for additional space for the remaining State agencies that will be relocated. We will advertise for space in the local newspapers with a site search shortly thereafter of spaces respond- ing to the ad. At that time we will again solicit your input to suitable sites with the proper zoning. I look forward to meeting with you personally, upon my future .trip to San. Luis Obispo. Again, thank you for your assistance. ncerely, J Kb11U ARCHITECT a Sup sor JY�i:kl cc: - Bill Todd / —-----.—.. --- ----- --- ---= Don Walters ✓ . Keith Gurnee .:;. John.Ramsey _... ._.. . .. . .. _.

CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. • , - '�^ GENERAL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF PADRE PLAZA AND CHARLES I . WALTER CENTER At its conception the long range plan for Padre Plaza was a retail commercial plaza. The original goal in 1973 was for seven buildings, ail of which have been completed with the exception of . the corner lot which was set aside for a bank or savings and loan branch. This Walter Brothers project was one of the first in the City . to. allow a bike lane and delete street parking. This concept and original plan was later changed to a government center. The first building to be constructed was at 3250 South Higuera Street. This was built as a deli - liquor store to be owned and operated by Walter Bros. .Construction. In addition to the 4,.500 square foot.. store, there was an additional3,500 square feet of, leasable space built, making the total square footage of the building 8,000 square feet. The County of San Luis Obispo approached Walter Brothers to build to suit a 10,000 square foot building for the purpose of housing the food stamp operation for Social Services. This. bui.lding,. known as Building #21 was constructed in 1978 and in 19851. was re-leased to the Federal Social Security Administration. In 1978, Walter Brothers was contacted by a private party interested in a build to suit of a 4,000 square foot building for the purpose of a restaurant. In 1990 it was converted to an office for the State Compensation Insurance Fund. At the same time the State of California put' out a bid for design and construction of a 12,000 square foot building for the use of Employment Development Department. Walter Brothers was the successful bidder and in 1979 both restaurant and Employment Development Department were built. In 1979, the city rezoned the property to public facility for government agency use. In 1980, County officials once again contacted Walter Brothers with the prospect of a new building to consolidate all Social Services functions under one roof. They were looking for 21,000 square feet. After making contact with other county departments, state and federal agencies it was agreed that there was a need for rental space of 42,000 square feet: Walter Brothers felt at this time it would be beneficial to construct an additional 13,000 square feet, as this was going to be considered the new south "Government Center" in the city of San Luis Obispo. Construction of the three story, glass and steel 559000 square foot Building Five commenced in 1979, and was completed in - --------- --December-:of 1981. A three floor concrete parking :structure was- - completed adjacent to Building Five at the same time. In 1981, the city adopted the tri-polar concept, which meant the South - - Higuera property would be a government center separate from thee . downtown area. r- In 1986, Walter Brothers completed another build to suit for ttie State of California, an 8,600 square foot building occupied by, . the Department of Motor Vehicles. At this time, the .center was occupied by state, federal and county agencies. The city' s idea was to consolidate government functions so the public would not have to make several stops to meet their needs. This has worked very well for the needs of the public; for example DMV, EDD, IRS and Social Security are all conveniently in one central location. - . Additional benefits to the public from the South Higuera government center include two major signal installations -- at the South Higuera "south pole" are intersections at Margarita Avenue, and at Prado Road. Walter Brothers has built a full bus pull out and a glass enclosed bus shelter, the first of its kind in the city of San Luis Obispo. The latest addition to the Charles I . Walter Center, completed early in 19909 is Building Seven, a 17,000 square foot two-story structure leased to the State of California. A new parking lot on the South Higuera frontage was constructed at the same time. This building was built in response to the burgeoning demand for office space by government agencies. Walter Brothers, seeing a need of government growth started in the summer of 1989 to work on additional space for the government center, and. is working on two projects at the present time. The, first project, a drawing of which is enclosed, is an addition to building number 4 at 3196 South Higuera. The project consists of the addition of a 15,000 square foot second story to the existing building. The second project consists of the addition of a two-story, 30,000 square foot building on the corner lot at South Higuera and Prado Roads. Two floors of. underground parking will serve this office building. As with the entire center, : good access to Highway 101 is an asset. These projects are in the planning stage only. Approval of the City will need to be obtained. In 1993, the County of San Luis Obispo moved to their own Social Services building on their newly acquired property at South Higuera and Prado .Road.. The completion of this building by the County have freed up approximately 33,000 square feet of office space in the three story 3220 South Higuera building. As of this date we have been able to fill the county space by eighty percent with Dept. of Water Resources, Cal Trans Engineering, expansion of EDD Tax Office and GSA Federal Judge. Our five year development plan, and Walter Brothers development plans now are over a ten year period. have been projected for the next ten years. Walter Brothers' goals, including our planning and new projects to come will not only meet government's space needs, but also keep our tri-polar zoning working in a functional manner in the future to come.

The One-Stop Career Center is the wave of the future for providing services to our citizens. This concept is accepted at the national as well as the State level and the time has come for us to support this concept locally. Insofar as San Luis Obispo is concerned, there are several options available, however, the most important aspect, in my opinion, is for local control by a local non-profit organization. The addition of some governmental services to supplement the work already being done by the PIC would be the most effective way to accomplish the goal of providing One-Stop services to our local population. We must keep in mind that the goal is to serve clients. It is much less important whether it takes a general plan amendment or simply to recognize that the PIC is NOT a governmental agency as long as our local citizens receive the services that can be provided by the proposed One-Stop Career Center.

Apparently there are a couple of ways to accomplish this. My belief is that regardless of how this is done it is most important the one-stop services should be allowed to be provided from a private non-profit organization such as the one found at the PIC. The addition of some government services at the PIC is the ideal way for customers to be treated. Whether this is accomplished through a general plan amendment or by not designating the PIC as a government agency is less important than how the needs of local citizens and employers are served- Thank ervedThank you for this opportunity to voice my concerns.

Apparently there are a couple of ways to accomplish this. My belief is that regardless of how this is done, it is most important that one-stop services should be allowed to be provided from a private non-profit organization such as the one found at the PIC. The addition of some government services at the PIC is the ideal way for customers to be treated: Whether this is accomplished through a general plan amendment or by not designating the PIC as a government agency is less important than how the needs of local citizens and employers arp served.

The very valuable services of PIC to the commumity has and will be extolled by others. We wish to point out the devastating effects on SCORE if PIC is forced to move. SCORE,while wodong under the aegis of the Federal Small Business Administration receives no direct financial support from the SBA. We,as a community service,are expected to find our support in the community. PIC has recognized our value to the community and the synergism we bring to each other., by allowing us space and clerical support within PIC's facilities. If PIC is krued to move to more cramped and expensive quarters , PIC can no longer support us in our community services. SCORE has no alternatives available,and will close up this Chapter. Is SCORE an asset to the community?We offer at no cost over a 1000 years of volunteer business experience to the small business entrepreneurs in the community pity. This assistance is unavailable anywhere else to a small startup with limited resources. Our efforts are a primary source of Central Coast development,jobs, and increasing business activity. We request you consider our needs to continue our association with PIC in the present location, allowing SCORE to provide commumity small business services .

Higuera St San Luis Obispo CA 93401 805-547-0779 The Pathway to Success in Business: OVERVIEW: SCORE was officially formed in October 1964. In 1975 SCORE was formally placed under the wing of the U. S. Small Business Administration. Our limited funding is budgeted by Congress through the SBA. SCORE is an all-volunteer organization of retired business men and women throughout the United States. There are about 400 chapters around the country, comprised of over 13,000 members. We are trained to serve as counselors, advisors and mentors to aspiring entrepreneurs and current business.owners. In addition to counseling services, we offer periodic workshops on all aspects of owning and operating a small business. There are usually fees associated with workshops, but regular counseling services are offered free, as a community service. Since 1964,more than four million Americans have utilized SCORE services. MEMBER QUALIFICATIONS: The key qualification we bring to our clients is real-world experience. We are members of SCORE because we each want to return to our communities and society our experiences we have gained as business owners, executives, or managers. While we each derive enormous personal gratification from our services, we exist solely for the benefit and economic welfare of the small-business community. Professional development programs help our members build listening skills, counseling skills and problem solving techniques, so we can effectively help our clients succeed We believe we are successful when our clients succeed. WHAT WE DO: We provide general business advice on everything related to starting and operating a small business: How to write a business plan; cash flow management; financial management including spread sheets; facilities design and layout; marketing and sales;product/service analysis; financing a business; and buying or selling a business. These subjects are also topics for our low-cost workshops. We are guided by our association Code of Ethics. We protect confidences,and honor the client's right to proprietary and confidential information. CONTACT: For more information, call us at 805-547-0779. Our main office is located in the Private Industry Council facilities at 3566 South Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo. We have satellite coordinators located in other cities throughout the county, and counseling can be scheduled at these locations as well as at a client's place of business. Atascadero/Paso Robles: Ca11466-4910; or 238-5644. We are truly here to help, and look forward to working with anyone who is starting or operating a business and looking for help. to Service Corps of Retired Executives Association SCOR ® "Counselors to America's'- Sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration Small Business" February 25, 1998 Senator Jack O'Connell 1260 Chorro Street San Luis Obispo CA 93401 Dear Senator O'Connell: I am writing on behalf of the forty members of the County's SCORE members. You re no doubt aware of our mission as counselors to small businesses. We are physically located in the Private Industry Council facilities at 3566 South Mguera PIC has been an outstanding host to SCORE. They assist in a variety of ways: Office space for counseling,telephone answering, handling of mail, coordinating meetings, and other clerical and office services. They willingly provide all of these services without cost to us. It has come to my attention that the City is attempting to require PIC to relocate from the existing building to another, a few blocks to the north. It is my understanding that such a move is being ordered due to the city's zoning requirements. While such zoning considerations are not my concern,per se, we members of SCORE are quite concerned for another reason. PIC, if forced to relocate, will not be able to provide SCORE with any space. We, as a fully volunteer, minimally funded(through the SBA) for our individual direct expenses, do not have the fiscal resources to pay anyone rent. SCORE has operated in other locations,none of which proved satisfactory. The search for a new location a few years ago was almost fruitless. The probability of our finding other suitable space if this relocation takes place, is nil. If PIC is relocated, in all likelihood this chapter of SCORE will cease to function. Without a central location and assistance as PIC has been providing, we will no longer be able to offer our services to those either entering or operating,a small business in San Luis Obispo County. While we understand this is a city issue, and not one that a senator should be concerned with, any assistance you might offer to support PIC's stay in the current location-and the therefore SCORE's continued operation-will be greatly appreciated. Frankly,we see this as a significant issue of our abilities to offer our gratis service to our community. Sincerely, L es L.

Wolcott 663 Pismo Street San Luis Obispo CA 93401 805-543-5240 2 March 1998 sstendahl@slonetorg Mayor Allen Settle Councilwoman Dodie Williams Councilwoman Kathy Smith Councilman Bill Roalman Councilman Dave Romero Greetings, As a member of SCORE,the Service Corps of Retired Executives, San Luis Obispo County Chapter 597, I am concerned about the efforts of the Private Industry Council to gain a building permit in conjunction with expanding its services. Their appeal is scheduled to be heard 17 March 1998. In 1994 the San Luis Obispo Office of SCORE required additional space to better serve its clients. In 1995 PIC invited our chapter to share space with them on a rent-free basis. They provided us with a counseling office,meeting and seminar space,receptionist service and cross referrals. The mutual goals of our organizations has produced a strong synergy and we have been able to counsel on an improved scale,and expected that situation to grow since we both serve the business community. SCORE was founded in 1963 as a volunteer,unfunded subsidiary of the Small Business Administration. Our 13,000 members counsel in nearly 400 chapters nationwide. The local chapter has been in San Luis Obispo since 1980,providing free and confidential counseling to in excess of 3,242 local organizations,including some of the county's major businesses,government agencies and non-profits. The aggregate impact of these organizations, large and small,on the economic vitality of the city and county is substantial. My concern is if PIC unable to expand in its current location and is forced to move,the cost of the move and higher rent in the mandated space in the Walters building will leave them without space for SCORE and therefore put us out of business. Our operating flrr�c� r' • I expenses come from donations and minor grants and are inadequate for expenses of that magnitude. I am not going to reiterate the arguments presented by PIC, saying only that I have heard and agree with them. I do not believe that PIC will move into the Walters building,which, by the way,several years ago refused.to consider SCORE as a tenant. Either way, SCORE is the loser,as is the city. With no place to counsel, SCORE will disappear from local scene. Can this city afford that? I don't think so. I urge you to take the steps necessary to allow PIC to continue its success and grow in its present location,and to allow the other agencies to work there with them. To do otherwise can very likely cause the loss of two quiet but important contributors to the business,government and non-profit community of this city. Thank you for your consideration.

The Private Industry Council(PIC)is a private, nonprofit organization whose headquarters for our county have been located in San Luis Obispo since 1981. The PIC exists to provide job training services, administer JTPA Federal grants,and,in general,be an active partner with other private and government agencies in giving residents the training and job placement needed to support themselves. We employ 23 individuals at our offices located at 3566 South Higuera Street, that provide these services. I am chair of the organizatiori s board,and Lee Ferrero is our longtime president and chief executive officer. Through a directive from the Federal government, the PIC and its partners in different segments of the government are trying to improve services to our clients through the creation of a "One Stop Career Center'. This center,to be operated by the PIC,would contract with EDD,SLO County Social Services,Cuesta College and other public and private organizations,to bring job training related services under one roof. This concept, currently being executed all over the country as pan of the "welfare to work" program,is the best example of public-private partnerships and vehicles for improving communities' abilities to succeed with the challenges of welfare reform. I'm certain you'll agree the idea is a good one. All parties involved are ready to go. The PIC facility is adequate for all current and future needs, and affordable. However,in beginning the process to obtain appropriate city approvals,we have run up against the existing "tri-polar" policy, which requires government offices to locate only in certain geographic areas. Because our plan includes some government employees being co-located at our South Higuera Street location, we are now being identified as a government office,subject to the location policy. The.PIC Board believes the proposal to develop the "One-Stop Center" does not substantially change the activity of the organization. We have,nonetheless,attempted to comply with the City by requesting a change in the boundaries of the tri-polar policy. The Planning Commission turned down that request. We are now appealing that denial to you. However,the board still believes the activity of the"One-Stop" is ancillary to our c urent use. There is no substantial change to the nature of our activity and that the PIC should be allowed to develop the center under current policy. While we recognize the intent of the tri polar policy and know it was included in the General Plan update, I am concerned that it is a policy which, when implemented in all cases, can exclude the very community A D V E R T 1 S I N G P U 0 L I C R E L A 'r 1 0 N S G R A P N I C D E S I G N I services you seek to supply. Certainly,there needs to be room for interpretation as government and the private sector move toward new concepts and policies that improve services to residents. We hope you will acknowledge the difficulties of the policy and take the necessary steps to resolve this problem so that the PIC can continue to operate at its current location.

The company started downsizing and I became unemployed and feeling lost. Someone told me about PIC and I was very impressed with their services! I think the location and parking is very convenient as well as the facility. I was a PIC client for about one year. I took some of their workshops that included: Developing a resume Introduction to the internet Thoughts patterns for success I also took basic computer classes and typing and math. This helped me prepare for a .GED diploma. Everyone at the PIC was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the greatest things that happened to me at PIC was being given the opportunity to participate in the SLID Leadership program. They gave me a scholarship which allowed me to be part of this excellent program. For this I am very grateful. I believe that if other agencies were to join forces in a one stop, a larger part of the community would have exposure to these wonderful services.

SAN LUIS OBISPO,CA SANTA MARIA,CA LOMPOC, CA 543-9588 922-4551 736-3407 PLANNING COMMISSION, RECENTLY, WE WERE INFORMED OF A MEETING TO CHANGE THE ZONING IN THIS AREA SO PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNSEL CAN BRING OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICES INTO THE ZONE. WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE SOME THOUGHTS WITH YOU. AS WE ALL KNOW, SAN LUIS OBISPO IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME COMPETING FOR RETAIL BUSINESS AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OUR RETAIL BUSINESS, (i.e. TAX DOLLARS)IS GOING TO OTHER CITIES( SANTA MARIA AND PLACES WITH MORE SHOPPING AREA) SO IT SEEMS WE ARE.BEING A BIT FOOLISH TRADING OFF AREAS ZONED FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL,RETAIL AND SERVICE AND ZONING IT FOR GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. ONCE YOU APPROVE THIS ZONING CHANGE IT IS NST A MATTER OF TIMlE BEFORE RETAIL AND INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES ARE REPLACED BY GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. WE CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GROW AND EXPAND. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST OCCUPANTS OF CAMPANELLA PLAZA. WHEN WE FIRST MOVED THERE IN FEBRUARY 1989 IT WAS NATIONAL AUTO BODY, WHICH OCCUPIED THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE BUILDINGS. EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN WAS TO BE SERVICE AND RETAIL SHOPS. IT REMAINED THIS WAY , FIRST WITH A RETAIL BOAT STORE AND LATER A FURNITURE STORE BETWEEN NATIONAL AUTO BODY'S OFFICE IN THE FRONT AND OWENS MUSIC. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS NATIONAL AUTO BODY CLOSED. P.I.C. THEN TOOK OVER THE FRONT OFFICES. SLOWLY EACH YEAR AFTER THAT THEY EXPANDED. AFTER THE THIRD EXPANSION WE GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS SO WE ASKED IF THEY INTENDED TO EXPAND FURTHER. SINCE WE WERE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THEM BY THEN. WE WERE TOLD,BY THE P.I.C. MANAGER, THEY WERE NOT EXPANDING FURTHER. A FEW MONTHS LATER, IN 1997, WE RECEIVED AN EVICTION NOTICE. WE WERE NEVER LATE WITH RENTAL PAYMENTS ,WE DID NOT CREATE PROBLEMS FOR THE LANDLORD AND WE WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER TENANTS. WE GOT AN EVICTION NOTICE BECAUSE P.I.C. WANTED TO EXPAND. HERE WE HAVE A RETAIL BUSINESS WHO , IN ESSENCE,HAS BEEN IN SAN LUIS OBISPO SINCE THE 19501S (AS BENNETT MUSIC AND FROM 1973 AS OWENS MUSIC). AFTER THE EVICTION NOTICE WE GAVE CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT TO LEAVING SAN LUIS OBISPO AND POSSIBLY RELOCATING IN FIVE CITIES OR ATASCADERO. HOWEVER, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO US OVER THE YEARS, AND WE REALLY DO LOVE SAN LUIS OBISPO SO WE DECIDED TO RELOCATE IN TOWN. WE ARE NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR DECISION. IF THE ZONING IS ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT WELL COMPLETELY CHANGE THE MAKE-UP OF THE AREA AND MAKE IT HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE FOR RETAIL AND SERVICE BUSINESSES. NO SERVICE OR RETAIL BUSINESS, OUTSIDE OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY,WANTS TO BE IN THE MIDST OF GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. ON ANOTHER MATTER, SINCE WE WERE THE TENANT THAT CAME OUT OF THE FACILITY THEY ARE NOW ADDING.WE FEEL IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN WE WERE THERE, WE HAD ONLY EIGHT (8)PARKING PLACES ALLOCATED TO US. OF THE EIGHT (8)PARKING PLACES ONLY FIVE (5) WERE REALLY AVAILABLE TO US,WE COULD NEVER USE THE OTHER THREE(3) AS THEY WERE ALWAYS OCCUPIED BY OTHERS. IN THE EIGHT YEARS WE WERE THERE THE ONE THING WE CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE ONLY PARKING PLACES AVAILABLE WERE THE THREE(3)PLACES IN FRONT OF OUR STORE, SUITE 203. THEY WERE ONLY VACANT BECAUSE WE CONSTANTLY ASKED PEOPLE NOT TO PARK (THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO EITHER PARKED THERE OR TRIED TO WERE P.I.C. CUSTOMERS). IT WAS AN EXTREMELY BAD SITUATION. NOW YOU WANT TO PUT OFFICES IN THERE WITH SEVENTEEN(17)EMPLOYEES. IF YOU DO THE MATH YOU SEE THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE SITUATION. WE HAVE HEARD THEY,P.I.C., ARE LOOKING FOR OFF SITE PARKING. REMEDIBER, ONCE YOU CHANGE THE ZONING AND ONCE YOU ALLOW THEM TO GO AHEAD WITH THEIR EXPANSION, IT WILL BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDO. UNLESS THEIR OFF SITE PARKING AGREEMENTS ARE TWENTY FIVE(25)YEAR UNBREAKABLE CONTRACTS YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. IF THEY LOSE THERE OFFSITE PARKING THEY ARE GOING TO CLOG THE ENTIRE AREA. THEREFORE, OUR FEELING IS NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN,ESPECIALLY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, IF THEY CANNOT MEET THEIR PARKING REQUIREMENTS ONSITE. WE BEG YOU NOT TO SUBJECT US TO THE FIASCO THAT WILL OCCUR IF YOU CHANGE THE ZONING. DO REMEMBER THIS WAS NAMED "CAMPANELLA PLAZA" NOT GOVERNMENT PLAZA. ,MEETING AGENDA 8 DATE J-1449 ITEM # ' - 1030 SOUTHWOOD P9H SAN LUIS 0B120 CALIFORNIA 93401 ECONONUC OPPORTUNITY • COiNMISSION • SINCE 1965 (805)544-4355 FAX(805)549-8388 March 17, 1998 Mayor Allen Settle City of.San.Luis.Obispo . 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Dear Mayor Settle and Members of the City Council: This letter is provided to you in support of the concept of a One-Stop Career Center located at the Private Industry Council(PIC) offices in San Luis Obispo.

Attached you will find my letter tc the Planning Commission datod January 28, 1808. Thorn is nothing in the attached letter that has changed. I do not wish my property rezoned to become govemment usage. The parking prcblem that the Private Industry Council has caused for my property at 3638 and 3646 South Higuera still remains. r Lee Ferrero,the Manager of the The Private Industry Council,dies to twnvince everyone involved that the the Private Industry Council has adoquate parking at the Campanile Building. If this were true,then why does he continue to look for additional parking77 He has approached me on numerous occasions asking to rent or use my parking lots at 3538 and 3548 South Higuers. He began asking me from the tune the PIC first moved Into the Campanile Building. He has tried all sorts of ways to convince me to let him use our lots. He has even tried the ruse that the Gn1d's Gym people say he can use the lot This is a fallacy. The Gym does not have the authority to allow anyone to use my parking lots,and I won't give my permission. He is constantly telling me he"has arranged for parking at such and such place". Before the Planning Commission meeting, he said he was working with the Eagle's Lodge people to get parking. This proved to be not true boo. The Eagle's Lodge person states no permission will be given. Mr.Ferraro's latest statement to me Is:that It r will go along with the Tri Polar Policy expansion he will take his wworkshups to Ore duwntown Library meeting rooms because the City has enough parking in their lots downtown. I do not believe this statement anymore than the others he has made about parking. If you will appreciate my telephone notes as"notes"during my last two conversations with Mr. Ferraro you see he talks about the shortage of parking and tries to convince mA there will not be a problem(when there already is a problem with the PIC trying to use my parking lots) Yet he tells City Officials there is not an existing problem and adding seventeen(17)more people to staff at the Campanile plus all of the additional clients will not cause more of a problem. My estimate is by adding another 17 employeas he is creating a client traffic flow of at least seventeen times more than what is presently there. He also states to me that this will make the PIC"one stop"shopping. This is really frightening to Imagine how the vehicles will pile up. He knows there is not enough parking. To tell otherwise Is fallacy and he knows it. It makes mo very suspicious that Mr. Ferraro may be part owner of the non-profit organization that purchased the Campanile. He pushes too hard for occupancy In a building that was built as Industrial-commerclal,and built short on parking for even that usage. By expanding the Tri Polar Policy, PIC would have 42 staff members in the Campanile Building. Take 42 staff times 42 clients,plus,we all know there would be more clients than that because we all know how long the lines are at govemment agencies. Mr. Ferraro told me that their work- shops are an average of 45 people at once. The workshops are in addition to the individual clients.

We do not want our property at 3536 and 3546 South Higuera in the Tri-Polar Policy of Government zoning. We want it to remain private property that caters to the individual business person - #2. The Government does not need to expand the Tri-Polar Policy. The government agencies just need to USE those Buildings that are already available for their use. As rents go up, the government just keeps expanding their authority to encompass what is best for them instead of what is best for the community as a whole. #3. Government agencies need to use Buildings and areas of the City with adequate parking spaces on their own premises, and in areas where there is space to expand their parking directly next to the existing agency. The Walter Complex, where the EDD is now located, has adequate parking on their premises. Don Walter added a three story parking garage there. The new Social Services Building also has adequate parking. Yet I have heard that neither of these buildings are being used to their best capacity. A friend in the Social Services told me that the Social Services Building has mostly part-time employees. Why not put the EDD, Gain and the Welfare programs there and/or keep them in the Walter Complex where they do not encroach upon private businesses and their parking. The Walter Complex was built for government usage. Mr. Walter was required to pay for Bus Stops and Stoplights, because he built the big government complex. He told me by telephone, he has approximately 12,000 square feet that the EDD is occupying on a month to month basis and another 7 thousand square feet vacant. This is approximately 19,000 square feet available that is already zoned for government and yet they want more. I have never met Mr. Walter, but it seems the government is penalizing him by not leasing the available spaces he has built just for them. Is there something political going on here that we ordinary people are missing? 94. Now, the government is pushing for expansion of the Tri-Polar Policy so they can put the EDD, Gain and the welfare at the Campanile Building, along with the Private Industry Council. A building which is not adequate to carry the load of all of these government agencies, All by itself, the Private Industry Council has overloaded the Building past it's present parking capacity. Government should not be allowed to progressively encroach into more and more private business sectors. Two or three years ago the government was able to have the area behind the drive-in movie re-mapped clear to Elks and Prado Roads. Mr. Walter states he also has two more acres to be built out In the existing government mapped area. Why not use those areas that are already mapped government, instead of encroaching further into the private sector. We have too much government already. I thought government was supposed to be cutting back, but the Indications are the opposite. 95. These days, there is"Parking Rage"just as there is "Road Rage", and it frightens me. If the government agencies are allowed to put theirservices where there is inadequate parking, but next to a complex like ours at Tenwise Park, which has parking lots for our tenants and their Tri-Palar98.I_w1s Pace 3 Mar-16-98 06 : 15P San ique Vet. Hasp. SO- 569-4087 P.63 TRI-POLAR POLICY EXPANSION customers ONLY, there are going to be problems. We have had many occasions already where aggressive people from the Campanile try to park where they want to park, and they are not allowed to park In our private parking lot. If the Campanile people think they can park in our parking lot and not be towed they are mistaken. The police will be called to.assist us in keeping the peace and the preservation of our private property. I know of this"Parking Rage" because the Campanile had, as one of their first tenants, a man.who conflicted with the man who owns the gym business on our property at Tenwise Park When these two men conflicted the police had to send three police cars on a frequent basis. This has not been the case since that Campanile tenant moved out, but It frightens me that this could occur again if people from the Campanile aggressively attempt to use Tenwise parking, if the same people would come to the Campanile everyday, they know where they can and cannot park, but when you have new people each day, as the government agencies have, then there are going to be problems that will become more and more unmanageable for us and,the City as each confrontation occurs. if the City approves more density in confined areas there are going to be serious problems. The sociologists have recorded the conflicts caused by overcrowding. Overcrowding magnifies ordinary problems, and causes tempers to flare. Overcrowding is against-the normal human nature. #6. The Campanile Building is a very long narrow building with inadequate parking of it's own. The Building was not designed for businesses with heavy parking needs. It was designed more on the industrial building scale, with very large units, very little parking and a poor traffic flow around the Building from the front to the rear. People don't like to park in the-fear-of the Campanile Building. it Is secluded and there aren't many spaces there. Asa woman, I would not want to be parking in the back of the Campanile after dark because of the seclusion, nor would I want to walk the two blocks to the Eagle's Lodge parking lot. It is especially affronting when I know there is a three story parking facility built especially for government just two blocks the other direction. V. The Tri-Polar Policy area does not belong South of Padre on the West side of Higuera because of the confined area between Higuera and San Luis Creek. There is limited space and no expansion areas there. The area is too small for government density and if government is allowed there, they will have to hire their own policeman to patrol the parking lots because of the potential conflicts they will cause. i will not except the liability of the Campanile parking in my parking lots. Both of my lots are well posted, that they are for Tenwise Park ONLY, The signs clearly state, "NO Campanile, NO PIC, and NO Central Coast GYM, and I mean to enforce it. My tenants do not have the authority nor the right to allow parking by the Campanile in my lots. 98. Government expansion eats up property values and taxpayer dollars. Let them use the vacancies that were built for them in the zoning that exists. 99. What the government means by one-stop shopping is that persons seeking those services now park their car and leave it for 4 to 5, or more, hours instead of moving on to the next government agency. This will cause a more severe overloading at Campanile, which is already overloaded. if you have ever been to the EDD, you are familiar with at least ten to twenty people waiting In line or sitting around waiting to be taken care of. The majority of these people will still be there when the people in the next hour come for service. The welfare department and the training center of the Private Industry Council bring in even more people that stay for meetings Tri-GnlarOA i Yls Pace 4 r Mar-16-98 06 : 15P San ^r3que Vet. Hasp.

SAN LUIS OBISPO,CA SANTA MARIA,CA LOMPOC, CA 543.9588 922-4551 736-3407 PLANNING COMMISSION, RECENTLY, WE WERE INFORMED OF A MEETING TO CHANGE THE ZONING IN TIES AREA SO PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNSEL-CAN BRING OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICES INTO THE ZONE. WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD TAKE "TILE TIME TO SHARE SOME THOUGHTS WITH YOU. AS WE ALL KNOW, SAN LUIS OBISPO IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME COMPETING FOR RETAIL BUSINESS AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OUR RETAIL BUSINESS, (i.e. TAX DOLLARS) IS GOING TO OTHER CITIES( SANTA MARIA AND PLACES WITH MORE SHOPPING AREA) SO IT SEEMS WE ARE BEING A BIT FOOLISH TRADING OFF AREAS ZONED FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, RETAIL AND SERVICE AND ZONING IT FOR GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. ONCE YOU APPROVE THIS ZONING CHANGE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE RETAIL, AND INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES ARE REPLACED 13Y GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. WE CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GROW AND EXPAND. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST OCCUPANTS OF CAMPANELLA PLAZA. WHEN WE FIRST MOVED THERE IN FEBRUARY 1989 IT WAS NATIONAL AUTO BODY, WHICH OCCUPIED THE' FRONT AND BACK OF THE BUILDINGS. EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN WAS TO BE SERVICE AND RETAIL SHOPS. IT REMAINED THIS WAY, FIRST WITH A RETAIL BOAT STORE AND LATER A FURNITURE STORE BETWEEN NATIONAL AUTO BODY'S OFFICE IN THE FRONT AND OWENS MUSIC. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS NATIONAL AUTO BODY CLOSED. P.I.C. THEN TOOK OVER THE FRONT OFFICES. SLOWLY EACH YEAR AFTER THAT THEY EXPANDED. AFTER THE THIRD EXPANSION WE GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS SO WE ASKED IF THEY INTENDED TO EXPAND FURTHER. SINCE WE WERE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THEM BY THEN. WE WERE,TOLD, BY THE P.I.C. MANAGER, THEY WERE NOT EXPANDING FURTHER. A FEW MONTHS LATER WE RECEIVED AN EVICTION NOTICE. WE WERE NEVER LATE WITH RENTAL PAYMENTS , WE DID NOT CREATE PROBLEMS FOR THE LANDLORD AND WE WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER TENANTS. WE GOT AN EVICTION NOTICE BECAUSE P.I.C. WANTED TO EXPAND. _ _ Mar-16-98 06: 16P San -nque Vet. Hasp . 80= 569-4087 R.Q7 HERE WE HAVE A RETAIL BUSINESS WHO , IN ESSENCE, HAS BEEN IN SAN LUIS OBISPO SINCE THE 1950'S ( AS BENNETT MUSIC AND FROM 1973 AS OWEN'S MUSIC). AFTER THE EVICTION NOTICE WE GAVE CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT TO LEAVING SAN LUIS OBISPO AND POSSIBLY RELOCATING IN FIVE CITIES OR ATASCADERO: HOWEVER,WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO US OVER THE YEARS, AND WE REALLY DO LOVE SAN LUIS-OBISPO SO WE DECIDED TO RELOCATE IN TOWN. WE ARE NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR DECISION. IF THE ZONING IS ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT WELL COMPLETELY CHANGE THE MAKE-UP OF THE AREA AND MAKE IT HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE FOR RETAIL AND SERVICE BUSINESSES. NO SERVICE OR RETAIL BUSINESS, OUTSIDE OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY, WANTS TO BE IN THE MIDST OF GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. ON ANOTHER MATTER, SINCE WE WERE THE TENANT THAT CAME OUT OF THE FACILITY THEY ARE NOW ADDING .WE FEEL IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN WE WERE THERE, WE HAD ONLY EIGHT(8)PARKING PLACES ALLOCATED TO US. OF THE EIGHT(8)PARKING PLACES ONLY FIVE(5) WERE REALLY AVAILABLE TO US, WE COULD NEVER USE THE OTHER THREE(3) AS THEY WERE ALWAYS OCCUPIED BY OTHERS. IN THE EIGHT YEARS WE WERE THERE THE ONE THING WE CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE ONLY PARKING PLACES AVAILABLE WERE THE THREE(3)PLACES IN FRONT OF OUR STORE, SUITE 203. THEY WERE ONLY VACANT BECAUSE WE CONSTANTLY ASKED PEOPLE NO'T TO PARK (THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE, WHO EITHER PARKED THERE OR TRIED TO WERE P.I.C. CUSTOMERS). IT WAS AN ' EXTREMELY BAD SITUATION. NOW YOU WANT TO PUT OFFICES IN THERE WITH SEVENTEEN (17) EMPLOYEES. IF YOU DO THE MATH YOU SEE THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE SITUATION, WE HAVE HEARD THEY, P.I.C., ARE LOOKING FOR OFF SITE PARKING. REMEMBER,ONCE YOU CHANGE THE ZONING AND. ONCE. YOU ALLOW THEM TO GO AHEAD WITH THEIR EXPANSION, IT WILL BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDO. UNLESS THEIR OFF SITE PARKING AGREEMENTS ARE TWENTY FIVE(25)YEAR UNBREAKABLE CONTRACTS YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. IF THEY LOSE-THERE OFFSITE PARKING THEY ARE GOING TO CLOG THE ENTIRE AREA. THEREFORE, OUR FEELING IS NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN, ESPECIALLY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, IF THEY CANNOT MEET THEIR PARKING REQUIREMENTS ONSITE. WE BEG YOU NOT TO SUBJECT US TO THE FIASCO THAT WILL OCCUR IF YOU CHANGE THE ZONING. DO REMEMBER THIS WAS NAMED "CAMPANELLA PLAZA" NOT GOVERNMENT PLAZA. t1d ;11 1 • • -des" M- 1 i a - MM F .i1 MUM FWW low, ,, _.. / W- o •mss a_.... ��; � . � �� f, t W -=- "M-MY-4, ,,� �- -0-R. il-PI'� 1 1 �ar1 NO. . - .T // /-t�. all =jl 7 A_ ■ FWM ■ ■ ■ ' / /Las• �`•7��/ " � � Imo=��. � .� . . � ,—. _ � ( ■ REran 010 00 •r<•..a=� • /� IF IN NOT, ■ ■ ' 91d, � .:� l • r is _ �. � . -/ _ •�> r' RM 10 •rfr �,_., r •.,. r .-i i _c. / 03/1b/lyyt 1/:419 t;E7)2J1JJn1J SJtmrtK—bKUWN HEALIY rF1ut n1 __...- G zcellence..

Although there are a few ways to accomplish this, it is most important that one-stop services be allowed to be provided from a private non-profit organization such as the one found at the PIC. The addition of some select government services at the PIC is the ideal way for customers to be treated in one-stop fashion.

The Private Industry Council (PIC) is a local nonprofit corporation which successfully trains our workforce. The San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce has been a long time strong supporter of the PIC and its contributions to our community. We think the PIC's plans to collaborate with other local government agencies, to better service its clients, is a progressive economic development tool. The Chamber would like to see PIC's offices remain in our City. One of the key economic goals in our Vision of San Luis Obispo's Economic Future is to have the City of San Luis Obispo remain the retail and services hub the County.

JamesD.Paul Wilson,Paso Fables Second, the Central Coast Commission is concerned that programs and services be accessible to older persons. One way to achieve improved access is to provide a one stop center - then older persons are not going Programs all over town to secure needed services. The implementation of a One Stop Career Center will improve access to the full range of services Area Agency on Aging available through state, federal and local resources by co-locating them. Elder Care Apparently, there are a number of ways to accomplish this goal. Importantly, the one stop services should be allowed to be provided Health Insurance from a private non profit organization such as the Private Industry Counseling and Council. The addition of some government sponsored services at the. Advocacy Program Private Industry Council is the optimal way for customers to be treated.

There are several reasons I support this proposal. First, at the outset, you should know that the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust has an Immediate interest in this proposal since the Trust owns the building in which the PIC is located. The proposed development plan to create the PIC One Stop Career Center thus makes good economic sense from our perspective as the investor. Second, the proposed creation of the one stop center makes good practical sense from the standpoint of serving the target clients. Third, from a business standpoint, it is economically feasible for the PIC to retain their current location rather than undergo the expenses of relocation and rental of new space. It is my understanding that the City Council can approach this matter in several ways. One way would be to expand the current"Soclal Service Area". Another way would be for the Council to overrule the decision of the City Community Development staff with respect to this matter and permit the PIC to proceed as per their request I urge you and the City Council to adopt the most expeditious means available to facilitate the PIC's request. I appreciate your attention to this matter. ❑WUNCIL :REC R joinj 0LA❑ACAO❑A�["ORNEY-.

As you may be aware, I have a personal interest in this expansion. I own the parcel on the comer of Prado Road and South Higuera Street that is also encompassed in thio expansion. At this time,a small porrion of my property has been delineated as already having the government services overlay. My experience as a . commercial real estate broker indicates the increase in allowed uses for land for government expansion and sprawl is imminent It seems appropriate to continue to align one of the existing tri-polar borders in the extension. I appreciate your concern and I am asking for the City Councils support in this measure.

Apparently there are a couple of ways to accomplish this. My belief is that regardless of how this is done, it is most important that one-stop services should be allowed to be provided from a private non-profit organization such as the one found at the PIC. The addition of some government services at the PIC is the ideal way for customers to be treated. Whether this is accomplished through a gencral plati amendment or by not designating the PIC as a govennuent agency is less important than how the needs of local citizens and employers are served.

PIC is mandated to supplement its current census of 23 employees with 13 government-paid employees to continue to serve the citizens of San Luis Obispo effectively and efficiently. The additional employees supplement the services already provided by PIC and do not increase the scope of PIC activities_ The Planning Director determined that with the addition of 13 government-paid employees PIC would be regarded as a government social service organization, rather than a non-profit organization, which is a permissible use for the premises. I believe you can safely determine that 13 of PIC's 36 total employees is not sufficient to change the use of PIC. This is a subjective decision. but it seems equitable to consider a change in use only when morethan 50% of all paid employees, measured in hours of service, are government-paid- I urge you to make that finding_ AD :UTIL RIRThan .you_ 4g IONEY lRK!

There were no comments/questions and the public comment period was opened. PUBLIC COMMENTS: John French, representing Aero Loop property owners, stated the property owners are local business owners. There's an approved development plan in the county covering this property. The County's land use designation is Commercial Service. There are concerns involving the city's land use designation. He explained the development plan, noting that's similar to the county's approved development plan. Annexation into the city is desirable for the owners. Commissioner Ashbaugh doesn't support the conceptual development plan. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis expressed a concern regarding water availability. She requested an accurate accounting of water allotment. Mr. French stated the county determined this site has sufficient water for the approved development plan for C-S uses. Doug Davidson, Cannon and Associates, representing Kelly Gearhardt, encouraged support of staff's recommendation. George Rosenburger of County General Services had provided a letter concerning annexation of Aero Drive County General Services. He noted only one parcel of Aero Drive is not owned by the county. The Board approved master plan shows this remaining parcel in the future airport acquisition. The Airport Master Plan shows a new terminal to be built in 10 years south of Airport Dr. Commissioner Ashbaugh asked if the county sees a need for services such as hotel and other tourist-commercial uses around the airport. Mr. Rosenburger stated the Board hasn't agreed to any further developments. Seeing no further speakers come forward,the public comment period was closed. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 8 Commissioner Ashbaugh expressed a concern over the absence of Commissioner . Whittlesey. He could support a continuance. He shares concems regarding water allocation and questions the first-come/first-serve policy. He questions the history' of the tourist-commercial designation. Commissioner Jeffrey doesn't believe developers' hands should be tied based upon the likelihood of somebody annexing property and tying that into water allocation. Commissioner Ewan concurred. Most areas of the proposed annexation have water sources they would continue to use. He asked if the Aero Loop property can continue to use their water or will they have to go with city water. Associate Planner Matteson stated if their project is built or entitled in the county, based on the on-site system, they could continue to use that system. If building permits were requested from the City after annexation, the City's current policy would require that they do retrofitting offsets for potable uses. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis is concerned about water, and cannot agree with the environmental study because there's no discussion of water use and source. Associate Planner Matteson stated Page 12 of the initial study has a statement regarding the City's water allocation and fees. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis stated the numbers aren't supplied in the environmental report. She can't tell from the report what is available. Associate Planner Matteson stated the initial study tries to identify impacts or limitations and concludes that the issue of water is addressed by water retrofitting requirements, the City's water policies; there is supplemental discussion in the staff report on the pursuit of additional water supplies. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis is concerned that physical land impacts cannot be satisfied by verbal policy statements. Water accounting must be demonstrated in the EIR. She's concerned that the City has over promised water. Manager Mandeville stated the City's policy addresses this issue. The purpose of discussion in the staff report is to eliminate short-term water concerns and gives an accounting of existing acre feet of water. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis would like an entire listing of the water committed and projects/annexations in the pipeline. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 9 Commissioner Jeffrey stated water is committed is when annexations are complete and the development plans are approved. Manager Mandeville stated staff can supply an accounting of how many acre feet will be made available through the reclaimed water program, how many acre feet are expected to be provided by the Nacimiento project, and how many acre feet are expected by the Salinas Dam expansion. These projects are designed to provide the water necessary for the build-out of the General Plan. Commissioner Ashbaugh would like to see a list of up-coming projects to review potential cumulative impacts. Associate Planner Matteson stated the ultimate build out of the General Plan has been addressed in the 1994 EIR. Commissioner Jeffrey feels recent annexations applicants haven't been required to provide this information. Commissioner Ashbaugh shares concerns regarding water allocation. He would like further information from staff. Commissioner Ewan stated at the time of development water is allocated, not at the time of annexation. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis feels further information is needed. She's uncomfortable with the present city water policy. She suggested forwarding to Council a statement of concern on the lack of information on overall water use and commitment relating to supply and actual availability of future supplies. Commissioner Jeffrey moved to concur with the initial Study of Environmental Impact and proposed Negative Declaration. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ashbaueh. AYES: Commissioners Jeffrey,Ashbaugh, Ewan, and Acting Chairwoman Kourakis NOES: None ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 10 Acting Chairwoman Kourakis feels cumulative water demand wil I outstretch supply. Commissioner Ashbaugh concurred. Commissioner Ashbaugh moved to have the Commission's concern expressed to the City Council regarding the incremental use of the 300 acre feet allocation for post-1994 annexations and the first-come/first-serve allocation process. Commissioner Ashbaugh believes the city may not be able to meet water needs and it's approving far more development with future water needs than water may be available. Commissioner Ewan cannot support the motion. He recognizes the limitations on water, but feels annexations are not just looking to gain water. Commissioner Jeffrey feels water issues have been addressed in the General Plan. Manager Mandeville stated staff can bring back the requested accounting of recently approved projects and total build-out figures Commissioner Ashbaugh withdrew the motion. Commissioner Ewan moved to approve Recommendations 13.1 through D on Page 9 of the staff report with the addition to C of an open-space designation for the creek corridors and the addition of C (4) stating the prezoning of the annexation is consistent with the Edna-Islay Specific Plan. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jeffrey. Commissioner Ashbaugh expressed a concern relative to density and not showing the C/OS Zone on creeks. Creek areas should be designated more clearly and defined as an open-space zone. Associate Planner Matteson noted areas in creek channels in residential zones cannot be counted towards allowed density. The Commission could recommend to Council that all the creek channels be zoned open space. AYES: Commissioners Ewan,Jeffrey, Ashbaugh, and Acting Chairwoman Kourakis NOES: None ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page I 1 .r.. Commissioner Ewan moved to recommend to the City Council on the Aero Drive properties General Plan amendment request be to a Services and Manufacturing designation. The motion was seconded by Acting Chairwoman Kourakis. Commissioner Ashbaugh requested a record of Commission and Council original actions in 1994 designating this land. He would also like to find out if it would make it irrelevant that the one remaining property south of Aero Dr. continued to be Tourist Commercial. Commissioner Jeffrey would like further staff input/direction in terms of needs for tourist commercial. The staff and Commission discussed the Airport Area Master Plan and the possible rezoning of the property in the loop drive. After discussion. Commissioner Ewan withdrew his motion. Commissioner Ewan moved to continue this matter to allow staff time to bring back a record of the previous discussion and a report on the Airport Area Master Plan and to renotify surrounding property owners of the consideration of the additional area. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ashbaugh. Commissioner Kourakis cannot support the motion. She doesn't support pulling in the other parcel in the loop next to the County property. AYES: Commissioners Ewan, Ashbaugh, and Jeffrey, NOES: Acting Chairwoman Kourakis ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 3-1. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Mr. French is concerned about submitting a detailed development plan when the zoning is undecided. Commissioner Ashbaugh could support Services Manufacturing development. Commissioner Jeffrey concurred. Commissioner Ashbaugh expressed concern over the incremental use of the 300 acre-feet per year supplemental water source and projects in the pipeline. The City should make a Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 12 rational decision on how the remaining acre feet per year are going to be allocated. He suggested prioritizing annexations based on the type of land use, location, relative impacts, etc. Commissioner Jeffrey suggested formulating a consensus before the full Commission. He asked discussion to be placed on the next agenda. Commissioner Kourakis is concerned about promising more water than is available. The accounting should be a part of the environmental study and staff report.

Commissioner Ewan asked why staff isn't recommending a change for the privately held property. Associate Planner Matteson stated it seems desirable to still have potential for this use since the owner hasn't indicated a preference one way or the other. Staff's recommendation would make the City's plan consistent with the county's plan. Manager Mandeville stated consistency with the county's plan and implementation of the county's Airport Master Plan is important to the City. Commissioner Ashbaugh was looking towards designating the land Commercial Services. He questions whether creating a Tourist Commercial island is feasible.

He can accommodate suggestions made on the development plan. Commissioner Ewan asked if parking between the street and the building can be eliminated. Mr. French replied yes. There's quite a bit of room to do a nice job with parking. Commissioner Ewan asked for comment on on-site amenities for workers. Mr. French stated an outdoor lunch area can be supplied along with bicycle lockers. Commissioner Ewan would like plans to include a transit stop. Manager Mandeville stated the Commission should provide direction to the applicant with regard to a development plan in preparation for the final plan.

Manager Mandeville stated this is an anticipated provision for the Airport Area Specific Plan to serve employees. Other similar uses are being discussed to aid in trip reductions. Draft Minutes - Planning Commission Meeting February 25, 1998 Page 7 Associate Planner Matteson stated the straight C-S Zone would allow all types of restaurants with an administrative use permit. Commissioner Jeffrey asked if Mr. French is comfortable with the S-Overlay. Mr. French doesn't believe it's needed except for aesthetic reviews.

Associate Planner Matteson stated the initial study tries to identify impacts or limitations and concludes that the issue of water is addressed by water retrofitting requirements, the City's water policies; there is supplemental discussion in the staff report on the pursuit of additional water supplies. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis is concerned that physical land impacts cannot be satisfied by verbal policy statements. Water accounting must be demonstrated in the EIR. She's concerned that the City has over promised water. Manager Mandeville stated the City's policy addresses this issue. The purpose of discussion in the staff report is to eliminate short-term water concerns and gives an accounting of existing acre feet of water. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis would like an entire listing of the water committed and projects/annexations in the pipeline. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 9 Commissioner Jeffrey stated water is committed is when annexations are complete and the development plans are approved. Manager Mandeville stated staff can supply an accounting of how many acre feet will be made available through the reclaimed water program, how many acre feet are expected to be provided by the Nacimiento project, and how many acre feet are expected by the Salinas Dam expansion. These projects are designed to provide the water necessary for the build-out of the General Plan. Commissioner Ashbaugh would like to see a list of up-coming projects to review potential cumulative impacts. Associate Planner Matteson stated the ultimate build out of the General Plan has been addressed in the 1994 EIR. Commissioner Jeffrey feels recent annexations applicants haven't been required to provide this information. Commissioner Ashbaugh shares concerns regarding water allocation. He would like further information from staff. Commissioner Ewan stated at the time of development water is allocated, not at the time of annexation. Acting Chairwoman Kourakis feels further information is needed. She's uncomfortable with the present city water policy. She suggested forwarding to Council a statement of concern on the lack of information on overall water use and commitment relating to supply and actual availability of future supplies. Commissioner Jeffrey moved to concur with the initial Study of Environmental Impact and proposed Negative Declaration. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ashbaugh. AYES: Commissioners Jeffrey,Ashbaugh, Ewan, and Acting Chairwoman Kourakis NOES: None ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 10 Acting Chairwoman Kourakis feels cumulative water demand wil I outstretch supply. Commissioner Ashbaugh concurred. Commissioner Ashbaugh moved to have the Commission's concern expressed to the City Council regarding the incremental use of the 300 acre feet allocation for post-1994 annexations and the first-come/first-serve allocation process. Commissioner Ashbaugh believes the city may not be able to meet water needs and it's approving far more development with future water needs than water may be available. Commissioner Ewan cannot support the motion. He recognizes the limitations on water, but feels annexations are not just looking to gain water. Commissioner Jeffrey feels water issues have been addressed in the General Plan. Manager Mandeville stated staff can bring back the requested accounting of recently approved projects and total build-out figures Commissioner Ashbaugh withdrew the motion. Commissioner Ewan moved to approve Recommendations B.I through D on Page 9 of the staff report with the addition to C of an open-space designation for the creek corridors and the addition of C (4) stating the prezoning of the annexation is consistent with the Edna-Islay Specific Plan. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jeffrey. Commissioner Ashbaugh expressed a concern relative to density and not showing the C/OS Zone on creeks. Creek areas should be designated more clearly and defined as an open-space zone. Associate Planner Matteson noted areas in creek channels in residential zones cannot be counted towards allowed density. The Commission could recommend to Council that all the creek channels be zoned open space. AYES: Commissioners Ewan, Jeffrey, Ashbaugh, and Acting Chairwoman Kourakis NOES: None ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 40. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 11 Commissioner Ewan moved to recommend to the City Council on the Aero Drive properties General Plan amendment request be to a Services and Manufacturing designation The motion was seconded by Acting Chairwoman Kourakis. Commissioner Ashbaugh requested a record of Commission and Council original actions in 1994 designating this land. He would also like to find out if it would make it irrelevant that the one remaining property south of Aero Dr. continued to be Tourist Commercial. Commissioner Jeffrey would like further staff input/direction in terms of needs for tourist commercial. The staff and Commission discussed the Airport Area Master Plan and the possible rezoning of the property in the loop drive. After discussion Commissioner Ewan withdrew his motion. Commissioner Ewan moved'to continue this matter to allow staff time to bring back a record of the previous discussion and a report on the Airport Area Master Plan and to renotify surrounding property owners of the consideration of the additional area. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ashbaugh. Commissioner Kourakis cannot support the motion. She doesn't support pulling in the other parcel in the loop next to the County property. AYES: Commissioners Ewan, Ashbaugh, and Jeffrey, NOES: Acting Chairwoman Kourakis ABSTAIN: None The motion carried 3-1. Commissioner Ready and Chairman Senn refrained from participation due to potential conflicts of interest and Commissioner Whittlesey was absent. Mr. French is concerned about submitting a detailed development plan when the zoning is undecided. Commissioner Ashbaugh could support Services Manufacturing development. Commissioner Jeffrey concurred. Commissioner Ashbaugh expressed concern over the incremental use of the 300 acre-feet per year supplemental water source and projects in the pipeline. The City should make a Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting January 28, 1998 Page 12 rational decision on how the remaining acre feet per year are going to be allocated. He suggested prioritizing annexations based on the type of land use, location, relative impacts, etc. Commissioner Jeffrey suggested formulating a consensus before the full Commission. He asked discussion to be placed on the next agenda. Commissioner Kourakis is concerned about promising more water than is available. The accounting should be a part of the environmental study and staff report.

Commissioner Ewan asked why staff isn't recommending a change for the privately held Property Associate Planner Matteson stated it seems desirable to still have potential for this use since the owner hasn't indicated a preference one way or the other. Staffs recommendation would make the City's plan consistent with the county's plan. Manager Mandeville stated consistency with the county's plan and implementation of the county's Airport Master Plan is important to the City. Commissioner Ashbaugh was looking towards designating the land Commercial Services. He questions whether creating a Tourist Commercial island is feasible. Manager Mandeville stated a key driver in the land use strategy in the airport area is to maintain consistency with the county's plan. Commissioner Ashbaugh asked if private property owner had been contacted. Associate Planner said that staff had sent a staff report to the owner's representative. All parties are located out of town. He hasn't received any response. Commissioner Ewan asked if Tourist Commercial uses include car leasing/rental agencies.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: John French, 3943 Hollyhock, representative, stated the staff report is accurate and he supports staff s conclusions. He feels rental car agencies are an important part of economic vitality of this area and serve a great need. The property is currently occupied by car rental facilities. He's working with the county to ensure uninterrupted utilization of the area. The C-S Zone accommodates car rental agencies easier than the C-T Zone. He can accommodate suggestions made on the development plan. Commissioner Ewan asked if parking between the street and the building can be eliminated. Mr. French replied yes. There's quite a bit of room to do a nice job with parking. Commissioner Ewan asked for comment on on-site amenities for workers. Mr. French stated an outdoor lunch area can be supplied along with bicycle lockers. Commissioner Ewan would like plans to include a transit stop. Manager Mandeville stated the Commission should provide direction to the applicant with regard to a development plan in preparation for the final plan. Public Works will be involved to provide input on transit needs. Commissioner Ashbaugh asked if eating/drinking facilities will be compatible within the C-S Zone. Manager Mandeville stated this is an anticipated provision for the Airport Area Specific Plan to serve employees. Other similar uses are being discussed to aid in trip reductions. Draft Minutes Planning Commission Meeting February 25, 1998 Page 7 Associate Planner Matteson stated the straight C-S Zone would allow all types of restaurants with an administrative use permit. Commissioner Jeffrey asked if Mr. French is comfortable with the S-Overlay. Mr. French doesn't believe it's needed except for aesthetic reviews. Acting Chairwoman Whittlesey is concerned about this area being a gateway into the City. The S-overlay would allow undesirable forms of "strip" development to be created.. Seeing no further speakers come forward, the public comment session was closed.
