' 2. At this time the City Council considered the proposed Sign Ordinance presented
by the Planning Commission or consideration of the recommendation of Mayor
Davidson for appointment of a more representative Sign Committee for pre-
paration of a Sign Ordinance for the City.
Mr. James Kimball urged a no vote on the proposed motion as he believed that
the present ordinance is unfair and unjust and that all the.buslnessm= .are
opposed to the Planning Commission's ordinance and urged that the Council
authorize a more representative ordinance to be prepared which would benefit
all the community in an attempt to pass a good fair Sign Ordinance and that
the Mayor's suggestion for a committee be followed.
Mr. Welch, Purcell Inc., asked that furtcer study be made as the proposed
ordinance is poorly drawn and is unfair to 'oota Vie businessmen and the sign
industry.
Mr. A. H. Brazil, Attorney, urged a delay and that more study be put into the
ordinance as he sees many problems in the ordinance.
Mr. Moerman stated that se still has not received a copy of the ordinance and
urged that the Council follow the Mayor's suggestions and appoint a represent-
ative committee to prepare a proper ordinance.
Mr. Kennedy, Safeway Store, asked what would be the status of his sign if the
proposed ordinance was adopted.
Mayor Davidson stated that. after five years his sign would have to come down.
A. H. Brazil stated that this is the portion he believed was illegal, the
amortization schedule.
Councilman Vielchel objected to the new committee as he believed the present
committee worked very hard and the Council would still have to decide
on the final passage of the ordinance.
Charles Albaugh asked if this ordinance would be printed in the newspaper
under these conditions.

Ivan Albert, Shell Oil Company representative, objected to the proposed
ordinance as it doesn't serve the business community or the general welfare
of the community.
Rev. Louchran agreed with the proposed sign ordinance as he believed that the
City of San Luis Obispo is a jungle and that tt.e downtown area is an eyesore
and the nice people of the town should have sometUng to say about the dignity
of the City.
on motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilwoman McNeil, that a public
hearing be set for April 27, 1964. Motion carried.
3. At this time the City Council reconsidered the 'rgcommendation of the Planning
Commission to rezone from R -4 (General Multiple Family Residential District)
to C -1 (Neighborhood Commercial District), the northwest corner of Santa Rosa
and Walnut Streets.
Mr. Lewetzow objected to the rezoning at this location due to traffic and
congestion and that all businesses should be located on the north side of the
freeway.
Stan Nelson stated that he did not believe that t1.e comparison of his
application for a restaurant with the application of Warren Sinsheimer for a
restaurant on Olive Street, was valid and he believed the Council should
approve the application.
Councilman Whelchel still feels that this is spot zoning and that this
rezoning would involve the traffic qn Walnut which is an off ramp for Highway
No. 101, and would not approve the rezoning until the final location of
Highway No. 1 is set or until the Planning Commission has made a comprehensive
1 survey of the entire area.
Mayor Davidson referred to the RERC report which recommends that all areas
adjacent to freeways should be developed as highway service areas and believed
that for this reason it should be rezoned.
Councilman Graves stated he objected to this rezoning as it is the first
step to strip commercial on Santa Rosa Street and that the property is now
R -4 which would allow highway service including motels and motels with
restaurants.
Councilman Miller stated _ie agreed with Mayor Davidson on this matter as this
area should be developed for highway service and that this property has never
been used in its present zone, then the zoning is wrong and the proposed use
is beneficial to the City and to the highway users.
Councilwoman McNeil did not believe this area was ready for development for
business uses.
On motion of Councilman Aielchel, seconded by Councilman Graves, that the
rezoning be denied.
Passed on the following roll call vote:
' AYES: R. L. Graves, Jr.,Miss Margaret McNeil, Clell W. Whelchel

4. The following letter was received from the Chamber of Commerce requesting that
& the City increase the business license fees by 15% to pay for Christmas
5. lighting and other business promotions:
"The Board of Directors of the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce respectfully
submits the following for your thoughtful consideration and subsequent action:
City Council Minutes
April 20, 1964
Page -3-
"The Chamber feels that it may be feasible to raise the taxes of each
Individual business license in the City 15 %. The increase would be used
to defray expenses incurred each year for community -wide Christmas lighting
and decorations. You are undoubtedly aware that this activity has been a
real 'headache" for the Chamber of Commerce to perform each year - due, mainly,
to limited finances. As a result, just a small portion of the business section
has received proper attention. lie feel that Christmas lighting for this
festive occasion should be on a community -wide basis, hence this letter.
In addition, the monies received from any increase in present business license
taxes would also help in other legitimate business promotions - this also on a
community -wide basis instead of its present limited form. We feel that increased
promotion would reflect itself in resultant increase in sales taxes for the
City.
We are not, of course, aware of the legal interpretation of the above proposal.
We do feel, however, that some practical plan should be evolved which would
be advantageous to both the City of San Luis Obispo and the city's retail
business interests.
Mayor Cavidson has been alerted concerning this matter. He, in turn, has
asked City Attorney F.ouser to prepare a sample ordinance and supporting
resolution which will be presented to the City Council Monday evening,
April 20th.
We sincerely hope that your august body will take our proposal under immediate
consideration in order that it will go into effect this coming fiscal year."
The following is a legal opinion o:x the above matter from City Attorney Houser:
' "Subject: Can the City of San Luis Obispo increase the Business License
Tax and restrict the additional amount so raised to use by the
Chamber of Commerce for the following purposes:
A. Advertising and promotion of the retail businesses within
the City, and
B. Decoration of the Citv at Christmas time and on other
appropriate occasions?
The City can increase the Business License Tax by enacting the necessary
ordinance, which funds can be, by contract, given to the Chamber of Commerce
to expend for the purposes, but such funds cannot be held in trust to be
used solely for these purposes.
REASONING
1. Increase in Business License Tax.
By Charter and general law, a city's legislative body is authorized to
license every kind of lawful business transacted in the city for revenue
purposes. The only limitations on this power are the constitutional and
' statutory ones that they must not unduly discriminate or be so large as to
be confiscatory.
2. Restriction on use of Funds.
Monies collected from Business License Taxes constitute general funds
of the city which the Council, as governing body, has the right to appropriate
each and every year to the various budgetary items to be expended for public
purposes. No ordinance or resolution by a council could deprive future
councils from exercising their independent discretion as to the use of such
general funds.
City Council Minutes
April 20, 1964
Page -4-
3. Purposes.
City Charter Section 200 authorizes the City to exercise the rights, powers,
and privileges established or granted by any law of the State. Section 4100
et. seq. of the Government Code authorizes the appropriation for publicity
and advertising of a sum not to exceed, in the aggregate during each fiscal
year, 50 per each $100 assessed valuation. Section 43200 authorizes the
legislative body to levy and collect taxes not to exceed 150 per each $100
assessed valuation to provide and maintain parks and music and for advertising
purposes.
The several court cases and Attorney General opinions indicate that these
amounts may be properly expended by a Chamber of Commerce provided that the
governing body has clearly designated the purposes to be accomplished. As
provided in Section 40102, the money appropriated may be used for the purposes
and in the manner recited in the ordinance making the appropriation.
Inasmuch as the existing contract with the Chamber of Commerce provides for
advertising and promotional services for the City, the total of the two sums
would be limited by the 50 per $100 assessed valuation, but would be proper
to restrict, by contract, a portion of the total funds for the stated purposes.
The Council could pass a resolution of intention to use these additional funds
for the above stated purposes and to contract with the Chamber to carry out these
functions. Such resolution would not be binding on either the existing Council
prior to execution of a contract, or on any subsequent Councils.
In the event the Council desires to proceed in this matter, the ordinance
amending the Business License Tax should be finally passed on or before June 1,
1964 in order to go into effect on July 1, when City Business Licenses are
due and payable.`
On motion of Mayor Davidson, seconded by Councilman Graves, that a committee be
appointed consisting of Mayor Davidson, Councilman Whelchel, Bob Corcoran,
and two other members of the Chamber to look into the request and prepare
a recommendation to the Council for April 27, 1964. Motion carried,'Councilman
Miller voting no.
Bob Corcoran appeared before the Council urging that the proposal of increasing
the business license fee to pay for the Christmas lighting and other business
promotions for the retail district be approved by the Council so that adequate
and proper Christmas decorations can be placed throughout the community.
Mr. Corcoran stated that the decoration for 1963 were terrible and were a
disgrace to the City and the people of the community. He stated that the most
difficult part of these promotions was collecting the money and under the
proposal, each business and professional person would contribute, based on
their business license fees.
J. Hensley objected to the adding of 15% to his business license as he pays his
share now and that if this proposal was adopted, '_-Le would have to drop his
membership in the Chamber.
Dr. J. Barry Smith opposed the increase in business license fees as he does
not believe it is fair to make everyone pay when they do not benefit from the
service.
' W. E. Stewart opposed the increase in business license fees by the City for
the use of the Chamber.
Mr. Lewetzow asked how come two weeks ago the Mayor was trying to cut the
taxes by 25% and now he wants to add 15% to the business license fee. He
wanted to know what was going on.
Harry Murphy objected to the business license being increased to help the
downtown merchants and he would not go along with this and he does not object
to an increase in taxes for public service, but objects to helping the merchants
who get the benefit.

Ed Davin, President of the Chamber of Commerce, asked that anyone who disagreed
with the proposal should come forward and help the board of directors try
and make the Chamber work in order to make this community a better place to
live, and that it is becoming harder and harder to make the Chamber work due
to the indifference of the business men in the business community.
Councilman Whelchel asked could the City contact the League of California
Cities and see what other cities do as far as Christmas lighting is concerned.
The committee is to meet at 2 :00 P. K., Thursday, April 23, 1964 at the City
Hall. The committee members are as follows: John Freeman, B. L. Dixon,
Bob Corcoran, Mayor Davidson, Councilman Whelchel, and Harry C.rsirphy.
Mr. Bob Johnson asked if tae X9,000 from the business licenses was in addition
to the $6,000 and if so he suggested that the Council require a budget for each
year's expenditure6.
R. The following letter was received from Ray C. Skinner:
"Thank you For bringing our letter of March 19, 1964 to the attention of the
City Council and matting arrangements for the meeting at Laguna Lake.
I feel that there may be some misinterpretation of our letter of March 19,
1964 and would like to clarify the matter of the city selling or trading land.
Our letter proposed the following:
1. That the goals of a development ,:Ian be establistied.
2. Facilities to be considered for iaclusion in the development plan were
mentioned in the letter.
' 3. The objectives of a preliminary agreement with the San Luis Obispo School
District were suggested in the letter.
We recognize that the granting of any lease, franchise or the sale or exchange
of any property to a private company would be on the basis of advertised bids
open to competitive bidding. The purpose of our letter of March 19, 1964
is to obtain "Guidelines"' by formal council resolution to enable us to make
detailed land planning, engineering and feasibility studies.
After we have completed these studies we plan to submit formal proposals for
the council to review. If these proposals meet with the approval of the council
and are advertised for competitive bidding, it means that these improvements
will be constructed within a reasonable time limitation whether we are the
successful bidders or others submit mere favorable bids to the city.
Our goal is to focus public attention on the development of Laguna Lake and
obtain as much public participation as possible. I feel that proceeding
with the development at this time will be good for economy of the entire
community and will further our plans to make the Laguna Lake area of total
recreational - residential community."
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, that a joint
session be scheduled with the Park is Recreation Commission on Thursday,
April 30, 1964 at 7:30 P. iL and no action be taken until the meeting of
May 4, 1964. Motion carried.
C. A. Maino urged that the City Council not give away any more land under
pressure without giving adequate and proper notice and that plenty of time
be given so that the public can bear all phases before the Council makes
any decision.
6. Communication from the Retail &rchants Committee of the San Luis Obispo Chamber
of Commerce, requesting a variance to City Ordinance Section 8320 and 8320.1,
to enable the Committee to install a downtown spea:cer system to provide back-
ground music for shoppers, and to stimulate downtown business.

On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, that the
variance be granted subject to the approval of the City Attorney and that
absolutely no commercial advertising can be used, and that the variance be
reviewed the first meeting after January 1, 1964. Motion carried.
7. Mrs. Waite, 276 Ramona Drive, asked for a variance �o the City's sidewalk
requirements to allow her to place a six (6) foot integral sidewalk in
front of her property.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained the location and types of sidewalks
along Ramona Drive and that there was presently in existence a 4 foot divided
sidewalk and this this set the pattern for the block under existing policy.
Mayor Davidson urged that the Council follow a policy of allowing the property
owner to place any type of sidewalk he desired if the transition could be made
without being detrimental to the adjacent ownersUps.
Councilman Graves suggested that no change in policy should be made without
some reason to avoid a confused development.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Mayor Davidson, that the exception
be granted and allow six (6) foot sidewalk at 276 Ramona Drive. Motion carried.
Mrs. Waite stated that now that her request was approved, she wanted to know
if her neighbors can now put in six (6) foot integral. sidewalks.

J. Jones urged in order to have property owners put in sidewalk, let them
have their choice and put in sidewalk which they desire.

areas where it is feasible to do so that property owners may install an
integral or detached sidewalk if the transition can effectively be made

Mr. Schwartz questioned the Planning Commission study of sidewalk policy
for the Council but stated that the Planning Commission would like to have
been asked to attend the study session of April 30, 1964 regarding the
development of Laguna Lake.
8. Communication from Warren Sinsheimer requesting Council interpretation of City
regulations relative to connection of a fire protection system to his new
building on Marsh Street.
Warren Sinsheimer appeared before the City Council on behalf of his appeal to
the provisions of Ordinance No. 254 as he does not believe that this acreage
and frontage chart: should apply to fire protection system even though a
six (6) inch main is required. Mr. Sinsheimer asked that he be excused from
complying with this regulation of paying the acreage and frontage charges.
1 He also asked that the Council make a decision this evening as the contractor
is ready to proceed with installation.
Prank Skiles, Building Inspector, explained the need for sprinkler systems and
that the City should encourage the installation of a sprinkler system in all
buildings of the City for protection of adjacent buildings during a fire. Also,
less water would be used in case of fire then would be used if the building
had no sprinkler system. The cost was $1,200 for a Gi :: (6) inch system for
valve and detector check equipment. He also stated that San Luis Obispo had
the highest standby charge of 60 cities surveyed and he urged that the City
Council eliminate the standby charges and also request that the requirement for
detector check be eliminated and no charges be made in order to encourage
installation of sprinkler system in the City.
E. P. Thompson, I-later Superintendents presented the following report:
"Among others, two types of water service are set forth in Section 7410.1 of
the Municipal Code which are pertinent to this discussion. They are as follows:
1. Regular service.
2. Private fire protection service.
Regular service is defined as "Water service rendered for normal domestic,
commercial, industrial and irrigation purposes on a permanent basis and for
which the general rates and regulations are applicable."
Private fire protection service is defined as "Private fire protection service
is for sprinkler systems, hydrants, hose reels and other facilities used
specifically for fire protection on private property.'
Section 7410.5.1 (1) reads in part as follows:
"An acreage charge for all property within the City limits requiring water
service that have not received such serv-ce prior to the enactment of the
resolution." "Such charges shall also be levied against subdividable portions
of larger parcels being served when such subdividable portions require
additional water service...."
City Council Minutes
April 20, 1964
Page -8-
Section 7410.5.1 (2) reads in part as follows:
"A front footage distribution main charge, based on one half the cost of an
adequate distribution main, for the full frontage of the parcel to be served
to be paid to the City except in the following cases............'
Prior to April 29, 1963, the Sinsheimer property was served by 2 - 5/8" x.
3/4" meters, which combined, gave a safe maximum capacity of 40 gallons per
minute. When new construction started, these ureters which had served the
property prior to the above date were replaced with a 2" meter with a safe
maximum capacity of 160 gallons per minute or four times the previous capacity.
When application fur a six inch private Eire protection service with a
maximum capacity of about 1,000 gallons per minute was planned, I informed
the developer's plumber that the acreage and front footage charges would
apply since the property had not received such service prior to April 29, 1963.
The discharge capacity of the six inch service requested is equal to half
the discharge capacity of the eight inch street main to which the service line
must be connected. The Water Department is obligated to supply the demand
of all service connections approved for installation in the system and must
perpetually maintain said services and the.necessary treatment, storage,
transmission and distribution mains.
A private fire prctection service has been held by the courts to be a peculiar
personal service which is not enjoyed by the community in general, but is
available only to a limited class of individuals. A private fire protection
1 service is necessary only because a fire hazard is created by the owner
of the property or is inherent in his business, or because the private fire
connection is required by law or is necessary to reduce insurance costs. No
conceivable benefit is seen for the general rate payer in the extension of the
distribution system to serve a special use.
All direct costs of placing a private fire service in operation should be
paid for by the owner. A portion of the indirect costs of general plant
capacity necessary for private fire protection service should also be included.
If the owner does not pay these costs, then they must be maid for by the
general rate payers - an extra charge to them.
Accordingly, charges for the frontage and acreage of the land occupied by
the Sinsheimer's existing new building only, have been computed as follows:
Front Footage 78.75 feet @ $3.50 per front foot $275.63
Acreage 10,999 square feet @ .0030348 per square foot 88.33
Total $364.01
Warren Sinsheimer presented statistics regarding water usage since 1958
on this property up to date of construction of the new office building and
stated that he believed the acreage and frontage charge was unfair.
Jack Wainscott, Fire Department Battalion Chief, stated that the overall fire
' rating of the City is based on consideration of all buildings that are
equipped with sprinkler systems and that the City residents all receive
benefits when insurance rates are reviewed due to lowered fire ratings.
E. P. Thompson, :dater Superintendent, explained requirements for lowering
fire rating point, etc.
He stated that four factors are considered by the rating bureau in determining
fire insurance rates: (1) Statewide loss experience over a period of several
years, (2) the rating district, of which there are two in California, (3)
the class of risk for tariff -rated properties or the type of construction,
occupancy, exposure and degree of private protection and prevention for
schedule -rated risks and (4) the insurance class which results from a grading
City Council Minutes
April 20, 1964
Page -9-
survey. Of these four factors which determine insurance rates, the efforts
of the city can influence only one to a considerable degree - the fourth,
the insurance class. Statewide loss experience is beyond the power of the
City to control; rating districts are determined by the rating bureau on the
basis of climatic and geographical characteristics and the location of the
city within a district is beyond the power of the city to control; individual
risks are classed or rated on the basis of building and material characteristics
existing in the structures and are subject to control by the city in some
degree through fire zoning and other regulations, but not significantly for..
existing risks. So the only factor which enters into the rate - making process
which is a variable, subject to control by the City is the insurance class.
If a city wishes to decrease insurance premiums for its resi °dents and property
owners the city's efforts must be directed toward reducing its insurance class.
In making a survey, grading engineers are interested only in evaluating the
fire defense of the city as that defense conforms to or deviates from their
standards. They are not interested in the many services ancillary to fire
protection which are performed by the city, neither are they concerned with
the cost of fire protection. Each deficiency point assessed to the city can
only be removed at a cost. City officials must be concerned with cost and
the fire protection service must be considered as only one of several
important services provided by the city. Each class of service should pay
the true cost of furnishing that service. Differences in rates must be
based on differences in cost and not on'such considerations as value of
service, social economics or promotion of business. If one class of service
receives a subsidy then the deficit must be made up by the general rate payer.
Frank Skiles states that as he sees it the water mains in the downtown area
are deficient and this is Mr. Thom ?son's problem, but regardless, the addition
of sprinkler systems in the City would help the fire protection in the City.
' Peter Andre, Attorney, stated in studying Ordinance No. 254, he cannot see any
requirement for charging an acreage charge for fire protection service; further
this matter was only brought to the Council's attention due to the objection
of the Fire Department and the Building Inspector to have fire protection and
detector valve installed and urged that the Council follow the recommendation
of the Building Inspector and the Fire Department,
Councilman Miller stated he never felt that acreage charges were planned to be
added to the installation of sprinkler fire system.
Councilman Graves stated he believed the acreage charge was passed for all
new services and believed that this charge should be paid.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the
exception be denied. Motion carried. Councilman IThelchel and Mayor Davidson
voted no.
Mayor Davidson suggested that the Council should look into changing the
ordinance regarding acreage charges for fire protection system only.
Councilman Miller suggested a council committee be appointed to study standby
charges and detector check installation costs.
10:20 P. M. Councilman Miller left the meeting.
13. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on Resolution Ito. 1270,

Y. Traffic Committee Report of April 20, 1964.
64 -4 -3T It has been suggested that parking meters be installed on Marsh
