Announcement by the Elks Lodge No. 322 that Youth in Government Day will be held on March 4, 1964 and requesting that t%e City Council again take part in this observance. On motion of Mayor Davidson, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, that the City support this observance. HDtion carried. ' 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. City Council Minutes April 20, 1964 Page -2- 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 NOES: Clay P. Davidson, Donald Q. Miller ABSENT: None 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. City Council Minutes April 20, 1964 Page -5- 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. City Council Minutes April 20, 1964 Page -6- 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. Mayor Davidson steed it would be up to.the ' D. F. Romero, City Engineer, objected as he or his staff to issue A permit without comic conflicting Council policies were involved. the policy, stating his own preference that allowed within a block. City Engineer. stated it was impossible for him sg to the Counsil since two He requested clarification of only one type of sidewalk be The City Engineer and City Council discussed the matter of varying widths of sidewalk in the same block. Barney Duvenech suggested that the City Council circulate a petition among property owners in the block as to their choice and let the majority vote rule. J. Jones urged in order to have property owners put in sidewalk, let them have their choice and put in sidewalk which they desire. On motion of Mayor Davidson, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, that in those 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 according to the best judgment of the City Engineer. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES. Clay P. Davidson, Clell W. Whelchel ' NOES: R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller ABSENT: None Miss McNeil abstained from voting as she stated that she did not understand the motion. Mayor Davidson stated that the motion carried as a Council member present must vote. If not, then the member is shown as voting aye. He then stated that the motion carried 3 to 2. Miss McNeil stated that under that condition, she would vote no, but Mayor Davidson stated the matter had been settled and the motion carried. City Council Minutes April 20, 1964 Page -7- On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission to see if.woikable.standards could be set up to call for a manir*um length of one type of sidewalk prior to changing to another type. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by VAyor Davidson, that the City Council continue with the present sidewalk policy of November 26, 1963. Not passed on the following vote: AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, Donald Q. Miller NOES: R. L. Graves,Jr., Clell W. Whelchel, Clay P. Davidson ABSENT: None 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, a resolution giving notice of proposed annexation to the City of San Luis Obispo of uninhabited territory described herein and designated "Calvary Baptist Church Parcel" and giving notice of the time and place for hearing of protests thereto.
