A) 8:00 P.M. Public Hearing on appeal of Paul B. Anderson and James P. Jones appealing the decision of the City Planning Commission in denying their application for rezoning of lots 97, 98, 105, 106 of the resubdivisions of California Park Subdivision from R -1 to R -3, and B) Report of City Planning Commission regarding the denial of the rezoning request by Jones and Anderson. City Clerk Fitzpatrick read the report of the City Planning Commission dated April 13, 1961 denying the requested rezoning. Mr. James P. Jones appeared before the City Council on behalf-of his petition to rezone the above listed property to R -3. Mr. Jones stated that the Planning Commission report presented many fine figures as to multiple dwelling areas in the City, but the fact is that no multiple or R -3 zoned land is available for purchase and none is for sale. He stated that the property owners fear a devaluation of their property due to the construction of multiple dwellings in the vicinity. He stated that this was not true, as the facts have brought out that when property is rezoned to multiple uses, the property values increase. He further stated that if private enterprise does not supply apartments for Poly students then the college will be required to build apartments for the students on the campus. Mr. Jones stated that whide-it may be true that the City has 250 acres of R -3 zoning, he wished to ask how much was available for ' development. He further preducted that when California Polytechnic College reaches an enrollment of 10,000 students, all the land from Cal Poly to the Freeway will be placed in multiple housing. Mr. Paul B. Anderson appeared before the City Council stating that Mr. Jones had presented the petition fairly briefly, and further that his studies have shown that housing adjacent to the college is needed for older students going to Poly and also that Cal Poly is a great economic. asset to the City of San Luis Obispo. Mr. Bert Fellows appeared before the Council protesting the requested rezoning and also protesting the proponents using Cal Poly as a crutch to get the City Council to pass a rezoning that would allow more. apartments and more traffic congestion in an already overcrowded area. Mr. Fellows further stated that he was sure that College authorities do not endorse.:this particular apartment house project. Mr. Fellows also brought out for the City Council information that in the past several years a great number of fine single family dwellings have been built in this area and he was sure that if the zoning is left as it is, that additional fine homes would be built in this area. Mr. Paul Rich appeared before the City Council and objected to any change in zoning as requested. Dr. Mc Capes appeared before the City Council objecting to the rezoning as requested and was opposed to any change in the immediate use of the neighborhood. Mrs. Smith objected to the rezoning on the basis that apartment house development in this area would add additional traffic to already congested streets in the area and due to the narrow streets it is a definite hazard to school children and other pedestrians using the streets. Mrs. Smith further stated that this has been the third or fourth time that they have been required to appear before the City Council or.-the City Planning Commission in order to protect the zoning that the City Council in their good judgement had already placed in the single family use and she hopes that she and her neighbors would not be required to appear in defense of their land use in the near future. J. Dan O'Donnell appeared before the City Council and objected to the rezoning and stated that he had reviewed the City Planning Commission report and that they are accurate in every respect. Mr. J. Dan O'Donnell again appeared before the Council stating that the proposed development of Jones and Anderson could under the present zoning and building regulations allow 55 apartments, and unquestionably would add to the traffic problem and parking congestion. Mayor Waters announced that the hearing was closed, and the City Council then discussed the rezoning application.. Councilman Shipsey stated that he agreed firmly with the-request of the City Planning Commission that no necessity for the rezoning has been shown. On motion of Gerald W. Shipsey, seconded by J. Barry Smith, the appeal 1 was denied, on the following roll call vote: AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Donald Q. Miller, Gosald W. Shipsey, J. Barry Smith, Fred M. Waters. NOES: None ABSENT: None 12. Public Appearance. Representatives of the Southern Pacific Company have asked permission to appear before the City Council on behalf of their application before I.C.C. to acquire the Western Pacific Railroad. Mr-Jones again appeared before the City Council stating that he agreed with the opinions of the rezoning that the only valid objection is the parking and traffic congestion which would follow additional multiple development in the area but he stated that'if the south side of Foothill 1 Boulevard were developed with curb, gutter and sidewalk, approximately 7" of pavement would be added to this street, bringing it up to the required 35" roadway and if this did not relieve the m ngestion he.was sure a no parking zone on either or both sides of Foothill would eliminate the parking problem; in fact, he believed a no parking zone was needed at the present time whether the rezoning were approved or not. Further, he stated that if the City Council denied the change at this time he will again ask for the rezoning at a later date as he believes this is the proper use of this land. Mr. J. Dan O'Donnell again appeared before the Council stating that the proposed development of Jones and Anderson could under the present zoning and building regulations allow 55 apartments, and unquestionably would add to the traffic problem and parking congestion. Mayor Waters announced that the hearing was closed, and the City Council then discussed the rezoning application.. Councilman Shipsey stated that he agreed firmly with the-request of the City Planning Commission that no necessity for the rezoning has been shown. On motion of Gerald W. Shipsey, seconded by J. Barry Smith, the appeal 1 was denied, on the following roll call vote: AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Donald Q. Miller, Gosald W. Shipsey, J. Barry Smith, Fred M. Waters. NOES: None ABSENT: None 12. Public Appearance. Representatives of the Southern Pacific Company have asked permission to appear before the City Council on behalf of their application before I.C.C. to acquire the Western Pacific Railroad. Mayor Waters stated that he had been contacted by representatives of the Santa Fe Railroad and they wished to be heard on the same subject as the representatives of the Southern Pacific Company who were present at the meeting. Mayor Waters asked that the Council allow both the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific to appear at a later meeting when both companies would be represented on this matter. Councilman Smith stated for the record that he approved the requested application of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the.mitter of acquiring Western Pacific Railroad. City Clerk Fitzpatrick was requested to inform both the Southern Pacific Company and the Santa Fe Company of the time and date they may appear on behalf of their applications relative to the acquisition of the Western Pacific Railroad. 8:50 P.M.

Administrative officer Miller briefed the proposal of Stone and Youngberg to act as financing consultants in connection with the City's proposed enlargement of the sewer plant and improvements.

Miller, seconded by J. Barry Smith, the Mayor was authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the City. 17. & 18. The following report was read by City Engineer Romero on the Mission Plaza Committee proposal to realign Monterey Street: "We have reviewed the proposal for the realignment of Monterey Street as presented by Mr. Peters at a previous Council meeting. Although the proposal has a great deal of merit, it is considerably more expensive than the previous proposal presented by the staff. The Peters' proposal has the following advantages: 1. It will provide 11 additional parking spaces along the front of the Mission. 2. These spaces can be blocked off to provide parking for funerals. 3. Since the street will be acquired in a different alignment, property owners in the proposed parking district will realize a net savings of approximately $20,000.00. 4. The Peters' proposal will make a better engineering alignment of the intersection of Monterey and Chorro Streets. 5. The Peters' proposal will acquire the Madonna and the Westbrook properties and could be a first step in.acquisition and development of a large community park. Disadvantages of Mr. Peters' proposal areas follows: 1. This plan will cost the City approximately $95,000.more than the plan previously submitted by the staff. 2. This plan will eliminate 2 small parks which would have been located in front of the Mission under the previous proposal. 3. This plan will require the acquisition (probably by condemnation) of 4 properties, two of which are occupied by apartments, rather than the one vacant property proposed under the previous plan. Cost breakdown of each proposal is as follows: ' Peters' Proposal Previous Proposal $ 42,500.00 Construction $ 20,000.00 Construction 100,500.00 Property Acquisition 30,000.00 Property Acquisition 2,000.00 Removal of Buildings - - - - -- $ 145,000.00 $ 50,000.00 " and Progress report by City Engineer Romero on Mission Plaza parking lot. The City Council discussed the Mission Gardens proposal based on present information. It was moved by.J. Barry Smith, seconded by Kenneth.W. Jones that the City proceed with the original proposal to realign Monterey Street and form the parking district if the property owners so desire. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Gerald W. Shipsey, J. Barry Smith, Fred M. Waters. NOES: Donald Q. Miller.. ABSENT: None 19.

Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Gerald W. Shipsey, J. Barry Smith, Fred M. Waters. NOES: Donald Q. Miller. ABSENT: None 20. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT 61 -4 -5C "At the Council's request, the Traffic Committee has taken a look, at the traffic and parking condition at the corner of Mill and Santa Rosa with the idea of accomodating the corner grocery at that location since the decision to eliminate parking on Santa Rosa between 7 and 9 A.M. and 4 and 6 P.M. The Committee feels that it would be helpful to replace the existing yellow loading zone on the north side of Mill east of Santa Rosa with a green time limit zone extending to the easterly edge of the driveway and providing two car spaces. It is ,also felt that the first space east of Santa Rosa on the south side of Mill should be painted green. The three car spaces thus provided would eliminate all -day parkers at these locations and should be helpful to.shoppers patronizing the grocery store. We feel there would be no detrimental effect to the general motoring and parking public." 1 Mr. Stan Nelson appeared before the City Council urging that parking not be taken off Santa Rosa Street during the times adopted by the City Council. He urged instead that the Council limit parking from Monterey Street to Mill Street to 2 hour parking which would eliminate all -day parkers. He also suggested that from Mill Street to 101 Freeway that the City paint alternate spaces red and green to allow free flow from parking spaces to traffic lanes. RESOLUTION NO.776 (1961 Series), "A Resolution Establishing 12- Minute Parking Zones on Mill Street East of Santa Rosa Street," was passed and adopted on motion of J. Barry Smith, seconded by Gerald W. Shipsey; on the following roll call vote: AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Donald Q. Miller, Gerald W. Shipsey, J. Barry Smith, Fred M. Waters. NOES: None ABSENT: None 61 -4 -6T "The postmaster has indicated he has a snorkel -type mailbox which would be available for placement in front of the City Hall. The 1 present box, which is mounted on a post, is too small for our present needs, and it is felt that the snorkel box would also be helpful for motorists wishing to mail letters at the curb. It is therefore recommended that the first green zone west of Osos Street on the north side of Palm be replaced with a white loading zone. The mailbox could be placed just west of the red zone, and the white zone would then be available for cars to pull away from the curb." RESOLUTION NO. 777 (1961 Series), "A Resolution Establishing a Passenger Loading Zone on Palm Street," was passed and adopted on motion of Donald Q. Miller, seconded by Gerald W. Shipsey, on the following roll-call vote: AYES: Kenneth-W. Jones, Gerald W. Shipsey, Donald Q. Miller, J. Barry Smith. NOES: Fred M. Waters. ABSENT: None 61 -4 -7C "The Traffic Committee has taken a look at-the white passenger loading zone in front of the Greyhound Depot in view of the Council's suggestion that this zone be painted yellow. It should be pointed out that the next two spaces east of the white zone are now painted yellow, one for a Taxi space and one unlimited. The Traffic Committee feels that the present installation should remain as is, inasmuch as there is a need for passenger-loading as well as freight loading in that area." There was no objection by the City Council. ' 61 -4 -8C "The Traffic Committee has taken a look at the Chorro- Foothill signals and the complaint that the sun interfering with visibility for westbound motorists during the evening hours. The City Enngineer is investigating the possibility of ordering a larger hood to improve visibility, especially during the late afternoon hours:" There was no objection by the City Council. 61 -4 -9T "The Traffic Committee has taken another look at the center island on Grand Avenue sbuth :.of -:Garfield Street and feels that it would be helpful for the City Engineer to paint large "SLOW" markings north of Garfield to govern southbound motorists and also to do further painting on the island to improve visibility. There is a decided curve in Grand Avenue at this location, and we feel it is important to channelize traffic by means of the center island. However, we are hopeful that the improvements mentioned above will help to alleviate any hazards which may exist at present." Recommendation of the Traffic Committee approved on motion of Donald Q. Miller, seconded by Gerald W. Shipsey. 61 -4 -1OT "The Traffic Committee has - looked at the traffic condition ' near the Laguna Park Homes on French Road and recommends that stop signs be installed on Oceanaire at French Road stopping traffic in both directions on Oceanaire." 61 -4 -IIT "It has been called to our attention that a dangerous condition exists at Loomis Street for eastbound motorists at the Buena Vista Overpass. The State has placed a stop sign on the overpass stopping motorists to the south of the Freeway off -ramp and Loomis, but after stopping, these cars assume that they have the right -of -way as do motorists on Loomis. It is therefore suggested that a "Yield Right -of -Way" sign be placed on Loomis at the Buena Vista Overpass guiding eastbound motorists on Loomis." . RESOLUTION NO. 778 (1961 Series), "A Resolution Establishing a Stop Sign on Oceanaire and a Yield Right -of -Way on Loomis Street," was passed and adopted on motion of J.

Mayor Waters suggested that the problems presented by Mr. Taylor not be acted on at this time, but wait until all the facts have been presented to the citizens of the area.dnd they are satisfied, and suggested that no action at all be taken until the petition for the formation of a Special Assessment District was received by the Council.

City Engineer Romero explained that the City had not yet set a plan -line on Orcutt Road and that the staff requested a Council decision as to whether curb,- gutter and sidewalk improvements should be placed within the present narrow right -of -way, or whether improvements should be placed at a proposed plan -line location to conform with adjacent subdivision improvements, or whether no improvements should be required as a condition of the building permit for the expansion of the Moose Lodge. Mr. Clell Whelchel appeared before the City Council on behalf of the Moose. Lodge and stated that the lodge plans to take out a building permit very soon and that under the present City Ordinance would be required to put in curb, gutter and sidewalk as a condition of the building permit. Further, they would like to build as soon as possible but they would like to have the decision on'the location of the curb, gutter and sidewalk ' settled at this time, or at a later date if they could be allowed to build in the interim. The problem is that they do not wish to place curb, gutter and sidewalk at the present street width if it must be removed later and replaced at a new street line, aal• they would particularly like to be excused from placing curb, gutter and sidewalk at this time for both the reasons'stated above, and financial reasons. The City Council discussed the problem and suggested that this matter should be taken up with the City Planning Commission before the Council becomes involved in the discussion. 26. Communication from the City Planning Commission requesting,that the planning consultant be engaged in a twice -a -month schedule for the next fiscal year so as to accelerate studies being made by the Planning.
