if alternates were appointed, they would encourage people interested in
serving on future boards to attend and actively participate, but not to
officially approve an alternate with voting power.
After brief discussion, moved by Pinard/Roalman (5-0) the appointments of Joan
Lawrence, Randy Baudendistel and Fran Pura were approved as recommended.

P.C.1 Brett Cross, 1217 Mariner's Cove, requested that Council direct
staff to prepare a detailed report as to the merit of the Job/Housing Element
of the General Plan.
STUDY SESSION
1. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT UPDATE (File 462)
Council continued its review of the Land Use Element update forwarded by the
Planning Commission, starting on pages 26 through 42 (continued from July 31
And August 28, 1990).
Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, made a few brief opening remarks
reviewing the previous actions taken by Council.
Glen Matteson, Associate Planner, reviewed the report in more detail, with the
recommendation that Council continue its review of the Residential Section and
begin review of the sections on Commercial Industrial Development and Special
Design Areas, which would include the Airport. He asked that Council identify
any changes it would like to see in the document. He then went through the
document, section by section, identifying the key elements and changes.
Councilwoman Rama felt there were some contradictions within the Land Use
Element, which included, 1) the concept of the Job-Housing balance, 2) the
concept of being a regional center, 3) the Airport and Dalidio property
policies should be carried through in the Draft Land Use Element, and 4) the
County Growth Management Program being considered by the County, -but had not
had review by the Planning Commission. She suggested the LUE be sent back to
the Planning Commission for further input and economic analysis. She was
C-1�i
City Council Minutes Page 2

concerned that the City not just let things happen, but choose its future.
She would like to see the document address Government and Institutional
Growth. An an example, she cited that the Draft WE encourages the Tri-Polar
concept, but precluded the development in the drive-in area for these expanded
uses. She also felt that traffic manangement and trip reduction had not been
adequately addressed.
Councilwoman Pinard agreed in having those areas identified, including the
Tri-Polar concept and the drive-in area, which Council had previously
discussed and had given direction on. She has heard several comments
regarding the Council's attitude towards commercial development, but did not
feel the Council has had an opportunity to explain their views, and that
residential needs be looked at again.
Councilman Reiss stated'some Planning Commissioners had indicated to him they
would be interested in looking at the document again, because they had not had
benefit of some of the recent comments by Council and the public. He was
interested in having the economic considerations re-examined and would support
returning the document to the Planning Commission.
Councilman Roalman supported acting on the Planning Commission's
recommendations. If it was to be referred back to the Planning Commission, he
would be interested in clarifying the pedestrian linkage as well as industrial
linkages. He also supported looking at agricultural uses that would be viable
in the City, and questioned how agricultural use could be encouraged. He
preferred Council take action to make any revisions it saw fit, and not return
the document to the Planning Commission.
Mayor Dunin suggested relooking at Table 6, regarding Housing Affordability.
He agreed that the drive-in area needed to be relooked at as a possible
expansion area for the County. He urged the Planning commission to look at
auto sales and incentives for the relocation of some of the car dealerships to
Auto Park way. He wanted to see better cooperation between Cal Poly and the
County on land that's contiguous to the City for student Group Housing.
After additional discussion, moved by Raona/Reiss (4-1, Councilman Roalmaa
voting no) to direct that the Land Use Elenwmt be referred to the Planning
Commission to review the following areas for possible inclusion to the
document, and be brought back with the review of the Circulation Elements
1) The contradiction between the City's role as a Regional Center in
achieving a Job-Housing balance.
2) Consideration of the County Growth Management Ordinance.
3) Recognition of existing recent Council policies on areas around the
City,' specifically the Dallidic and the Airport Areas.
4) Tri-polar concept for County Government Office 8zpansion, with the
drive-in area as a possible expansion site.
5) Traffic Management and trip reduction for commercial and individual
development.
6) Provision of sites for future auto sales & relocation of auto
dealerships.
City Council Minutes Page 3
Tuesday, September 25, 1990 - 7s00 p.m.
7) If the City is to encourage car dealerships in the Auto Park Way area,
then to relook at urban design uses in the Monterey Street corridor
area.
8) The possibility of using County land next to the Cal Poly campus for
student group housing, and the possiblity of a special sone to
designate group housing in the City asst to Cal Poly.
9) The economical impacts or economic viablity of some of the proposals in
the document, an example being Downtown Development; Retail; Affordable
Housing; Fees for development.
10) How residential densities are calculated and the impact on the
neighborhoods.
ll) The issue of designing the. City for cars or for other modes of
transportation that will provide ease and mobility.
12) Pedestrian linkages throughout the City.
13) Feasibility of Agriculture within City Limits.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
Dave Garth, representing the Chamber of Commerce, stated he was pleased the
Council was concerned about the vitality and economic activities needed in the
community. He was particularly concerned that the current Job-Housing balance
identified in the document should be either deleted or reworked, and was
pleased that Council was sending it back to the Planning Commission for
review.
Jim Ward, Johnson Avenue, spoke to concerns about the Job-Housing balance and
the Affordable Housing sections.
Brett Cross, 1217 Mariner's Cove, felt this was the product, not of the
Commission, but of staff. He felt it should have a preliminary environmental
impact report.
Tom Murriel, 1212 Marsh Street, representing the Property Owner's Association,
was concerned about the Vision statement, was lacking in providing economic
stability for the community.
Kathy Kruger, representing property owners in the Tank Farm Road/Broad Street
area, felt that the rural industrial moning should be amended to be commercial
service designations. She would like to see commercial development spread out
more throughout the community.
COMIMICATIONS
Comm. 1 Councilwoman Ravna requested that the City look at the backyard
compost program as indicated in a handout she provided. Specifically, 1) In
mid-October, San Luis Garbage was planning a booth on Thursday night. Tom
Martin had extended an offer to have a compost bin setup with a survey to see
if the citisens would be interested, and 2) include in the City Newsletter a
survey on the topic.
