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..

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.

regarding the receipt of parking tickets in loading zones by their
delivery personnel.
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. Jr. requesting abandonment by the City
of that portion of Church Street between Nipomo-aad High Streets

involve immediate construction and could be done by the city staffs.
City Engineer Romero concurred in Administrative Officer Miller's
recommendation and the City Council authorized the city staff to proceed.
4. City Attorney Houser presented for the Council's consideration a.draft
copy of the Whale Rock operating agreement, covering operation of the
