size and visibility from Chorro Street and State Highway 101. With careful
attention to building colors, materials and landscaping, staff felt the house
could be compatible with the neighborhood and its hillside setting. The
Planning Commission had voted 4-2 to deny the use permit because the proposed
use did not conform to Hillside Planning Standards requiring houses to be
stepped to follow the natural terrain, and the requirement that hillside
grading be minimised. Further, that the proposed house would be excessively
prominent and would not fulfill the •S• designation objectives.
Navor Duaiu declared the public hearing open.

tentative map based on findings recommended by the Subdivision Rearing
Officer. He stated that the Searing Officer recommended had determined that
the request for exceptions to subdivision and grading regulations were not
justified. He stated the subdivider argues that the subdivision would be very
similar to other developments the City has approved in the vicinity. However,
the steepness of the site, its prominent location, the existence of wetland
habitat and the possible extension of Sydney street, all evaluated in the
staff report, would support denial.

the project. Be did not feel the requested cul-de-sac would be necessary at

hosted the reception hold prior to the meeting.
John Dunn, City Administrative Officer, reviewed the purpose of the meeting,
stating that the workshop concerned the recently adopted Public Art Program,
and was for education and discussion only. He thought it would be helpful to
have the key participants available to explain the program and share ideas for
understanding and promoting Public Art. The council was not expected to take
any specific action regarding Public Art at the workshop. The meeting was
primarily to clarify the role of the City Council, advisory bodies and the
Arts Council in reviewing Public Art.

and Culture, gave a presentation entitled Art in Public .Places - Peer Review.
She showed an extensive slide presentation on Public Art from around the
world, helping to explain what it is. She spoke for an hour and twenty
minutes and outlined some suggestions for the implementation of the Public
Arts Program, and how to involve the Arts Council in Public Art Review. She
suggested that City Council appoint an Arta Committee similar to the City's
Architectural Review Commission to scrutinise potential projects. She felt

Review Commission member, a community member, and someon from the Historical

Society. She noted also that the Public Arts Program needs to build in some

type of maintenance program for any of the projects that it supports.
There was a brief question and answer period.
Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, then reviewed the main
objectives of this workshop which were to, 1) familiarise the public and
workshop participants with the City's Public Art Program and how public art is
created, and 2) to clarify the role of the City Council Advisory Bodies and
the Arts Council in reviewing public art. in May, the Council adopted the
Public Art Program after several months of hearings. The program was
developed by a committee composed of members from City Advisory Bodies, the
San Luis Obispo Arts Council and citizens at large. The Arts Council and
staff saw a need for a dialogue among the key participants to explain the
program and to share ideas for understanding and promoting public art, and
the workshop was for that purpose.

installation. Currently, there are 18 projects under consideration. In the
1990-91 Budget, about $60,000 is earmarked for Public Art. For private
development, the City has a grant program that would match a developer's
contribution for art, and there is currently $50,000 in the Matching Grant
Fund. The San Luis Obispo County Arts Council will assist the City in
evaluating the technical and artistic merit of Public Art projects through the
Community Development Director and the Architectural Review Commission.
