EB -1 1960 Supervisor Kimball again urged that the City join in this zone for the good of the entire area as the economies of the area require that the City be in thezone, as the City reaps the rewards of having additional residents in the area. Mr. Vollmer, representing the Phalen Land and Cattle Company, stated that he be- lieved the whole idea of formation of this zone was premature. Further, that.the basic fiscal program is tie ry loose and not well planned. He urged that more thought and planning be given to the over -all development before adding new tax- ing authority on the people. Supervisor Kimball stated that there was no question that the larger the district , formed, the larger tax base assessed, the smaller portion each person would be required to pay. Mr. Houser, City Attorney, asked could the City and County staffs get together and work up- additional plans, etc., for future needs. Mayor Waters thanked everyone for attending the meeting and joining in the discus• sion..

Ii I FEB Y 1960 OLD BUSINESS 1. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT "60 -1 -1C. The Traffic Committee has taken another look at the downtown parking restrictions between 3:00 and 5:00 am, at the request of the City Council. Since the new regulations have been in effect, we have found them easy to enforce, and street sweeping operations have been facili- tated. We feel this has resulted in a cleaner business district, and the Police Department has also been able to do a better job of checking sus- picious cars. We feel that private and city operated parking facilities in the downtown area should be sufficient to provide for customers patronizing all -night restaurants and for the various janitorial service operators. For these reasons, it is recommended that no change be made in the present parking regulations which restrict parking completely between 3:00 and 5:00 am, except for Saturday evening, or rather early Sunday morning parking." "60 -1 -2T. Further reference is made to the Traffic Committee recommenda- -� tion of January 15, 1960, on a new location for the curb -side mail box near the Post Office. The committee has given thorough consideration to the Council suggestion that the existing box on the north side of Marsh be mined several feet to the west. It is felt that this would be a good idea and that along with the relocation of the box, -the first meter zone to the'west of the white zone should be eliminated and added to the loading zone. One final recommendation we world have is that the remaining meter zone in front of the Chamber office be changed from a one -heur: zone to a 12- minute time limit which should provide greater turnover and utility for this metered installation." Recommendation approved on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by Donald Q. Miller. "60 -2 -1C. The Traffic Committee. has taken a look at the traffic visibility situation at the corner of Johnson and Ella and feels that a hazard exists on both the northwest and southwest corners. If the Council has not objection, the City Engineer will take steps to have the existing obstructions-to visibility eliminated." There was no objection. 1160 -2 -2C. At the request of the Council, the Traffic Committee has met with representatives of the California Bench Company and the Green Bus Service to review certain complaints which have been received on the initial bench installations. As a result of our meeting, the bench company plans to make the following changes: A. Take out one of the benches on Chorro near Foothill which has been located at a dangerous location on the right -hand turning radius. B. Remove the display advertising on the bench located on Marsh near Johnson adjacent to the Safeway lot since this is in a residential zone and also faces residential property. C. Remove one bench in front of the Title Insurance Company on Chorro Street, and change the display sign on the remaining bench to a plain green bench indicating a bus stop. D. Move the existing bench on High Street near Higuera to the east so that the bus will be able to clear the inter- section before picking up passengers at that location. E. Move the existing bench on the east side of Higuera south of Marsh Street in a southerly direction to elimi- nate the congestion at.the turning radius." There was no objection by the Council. its1 -196U 2.

Report of the Council committee: "The City Council committee of Donald Q. Miller and Gerald W. Shipsey met at 8 AM with Police Chief William Schofield, January 27, to consider traffic violations relating to loading zones, specifically along Chorro Street between Marsh and Monterey Streets. 2 FEB .1 1960 "The specific problem is that of interpreting the San Luis Obispo ordinance which allows commercial vehicles to park in loading zones for a period of one -half an hour. "The committee recommends that in enforcing this ordinance the Council establish as a policy that commercial vehicles be considered vehicles registered by the Department of Motor Vehicles as commercial vehicles and vehicles obviously being used in a commercial capacity. "It is not the recommendation of this committee that the enforcement officer be required to run down a motor vehicle operator to determine his purpose. However, if, at the time the officer patrolling these loading zones does see, either as a result of, personal observation or as a result of his own knowledge, that the ;vehicle is being used for commercial loading or unloading, he should consider it a commercial vehicle." The City Council discussed the problem of enforcement of the loading zone parking which apparently is difficult to limit to nonpassenger type vehicles. Councilman Smith suggested that if this area cannot be kept clear of passenger vehicles then possibly meters should be replaced and parking be allowed. Basically, however, he felt that the loading zone was needed. After discussion, the matter of the loading zone on Chorro Street was referred to the Citizens' Committee on Downtown Traffic Congestion for study and recommendation to the Council. 12. City Engineer Romero presented a final report on the residential prop- erties not having garages or carports and action to be taken to require garages to be constructed. Councilman Jones objected to being included in this list of violators and did not appreciate the letter he received regarding his violation while he still had time on his building permit to complete his carport.before he was in violation. Further, he did not believe that this was the type of violation the Council had in mind when the study was authorized. Councilman Miller requested that the balance of the report as originally requested by the Council regarding violations of zoning ordinance regu- lations be submitted. 13. Report of the Planning Commission on the relocation'of the Howie & Shelton Corporation yard on Walnut and Santa Rosa and other violations to the code. City Engineer Romero stated that Howie & Shelton had ceased their operation at Walnut and Santa Rosa and the few items left will be cleaned up very soon. 14. Communication from Mel Sebastian.
