Motion carried. ------------------------------- ------------------ - - - - -- - - - - -- 1. Mr. C. Walter Lerette, Manager of Security First National Bank, appeared f: before the Council requesting that the Council allow a forty five (45) foot wide driveway instead of a thirty two (32) foot driveway on Osos Street at the entrance to the bank's parking lot. He stated that he hoped the City Council would allow this until a better solution was found. City Engineer Romero stated that the Public Works Department had designed a revision to the bank parking lot and had submitted it to the bank manager about a year ago. This revision called for access and egress off of Marsh Street near the bank building and in his opinion would substantially improve the traffic congestion on Osos Street. Mr. Romero stated that in his opinion, the revision proposed by the bank would probably improve bank circulation but would have little effect on street congestion. Councilman Gallagher suggested that the.bank make the entrance to the lot from Marsh and exit onto Osos Street, which would eliminate congestion. Councilman Spring objected to the proposal of the bank due to congestion caused by cars leaving the lot and making a left turn around traffic which makes Osos traffic line up over on Marsh Street. Police Chief Schofield stated the existing lot access caused congestion problems on Osos Street which is extremely dangerous. 3ity Council Minutes July 6, 1965 Page -2- Mr. Lerette.stated his bank management objected to access from Marsh Street as they would need two attendants to control the parking lot. On motion of Mayor Whelchel, seconded by Councilman Miller, Permission was granted for a forty five (45) foot driveway on Osos Street on the condition that the bank attempt to make a better approach to the bank parking lot. Motion carried, Councilmen Spring and Gallagher voting no. 13 Mayor Whelchel stated that the Council, in informal discussion, felt that the proposed Route 5A for Highway No. 1 through Los Osos Valley tp,Marsh.Street interchange would be the best route, but that anyone who wished to bring anything to the Council's attention would be given the opportunity to do so. Ed Rodrigues appeared before the Council urging that the Council adopt Route 1 -A (Broad Street) for the new route of Highway No. 1 through the City, as he felt this route would be the most advantageous to the City of San Luis Obispo. Mr Rodrigues presented a map of the City showing his interpretation of traffic needs of the future and the advisability of approving Route 1-A,, Broad Street, for Highway No. 1 Freeway . Mayor Whelchel ordered this item continued utitil the schedule public hearing had been held. 3 At this time-the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone Yoakum Poultry Units from U to R -11 R -2 and C-3_ Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open. The following communication was received from the Planning Commission; Yoa�aomliu�ractN�ie 75-65 5f from U ton , R 2.sandnC -3 S,masdshownton the the attached map. Initiated by the Planning Commission. This area has been under study by the Planning Commission for a number of years, but they did not feel that the zoning Ordinance had an appropriate district to allow for equitable development of the long, narrow lots. The recent changes to the R districts adopted by the City Council provide appropriate designations and the Commission, at the urging of local residents, gave the rezoning of this area high priority. The proposed districts were arrived at after a number of meetings with the local people and appears to be generally satisfactory to those concerned. Therefore, the Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the rezoning proposed.° 1 Planning Director Chapman presented a sketch showing the changes recommended by the Planning Oommission to rezone the area under discussion. Mr. Grundell, Attorney, appeared before the Council requesting that the boundary line between the R 2 and C -3-S line be pushed back toward Rockview Place, in order that the flat area would all be commercial, as it could not be developed as one unit if it was split between residential and commercial. uses. Mr. Hoover urged that the plan be adopted as presented and recommended by the Planning Commission, Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. Mr Grundell stated that his client would like to use the entire area that is flat for commercial development and the steep rear area be developed as residential, facing Rockview Place. City Council Minutes July 6, 1965 Page -3- Mr. Chapman, upon question, stated he would not recommend any commercial rezoning on Rockview Place due to the narrowness of Rockview Place for .commercial traffic. He also felt Rockview Place could be developed into a residential area.. Councilman Blake explained the requirements in the Zoning Ordinance dealing with non - conforming uses.. City Council discussed what the development could be on the property in question, proposed for zoning to R -.2 due to its extremely steep slope from -Rockview Place towards Broad Street. Mr. Grundell stated his client asked that the C -3 -S line be moved twenty (20) feet towards Rockview Place to take advantage of the flat land facing Broad Street. Councilman Miller left the Council room. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the map be accepted and move the C -3 -S line west twenty (20) feet on Lot #24. Motion carried. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the follow- ing ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 316, an ordinance rezoning Yoakum Tract from U to R -1, R -2, and C -3 -S. Introduced and passed to print on the following -roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: Donald Q . Miller Councilman Miller resumed his seat. 13. (Continued) Mayor Whelchel reminded the people present that the prior Council voted 4 to 1 to eliminate Route 1 -A or Broad Street from consideration. Mr. Rodrigues continued that the question before the Council this evening is who should pay for the new streets needed for future traffic. (1) should we allow the City taxpayers to pay for all the street widening or, (2) should we allow the state to build a freeway using gas tax moneys and not local tax moneys. Mrs. Steiner appeared before the City Council urging that -the Council consider urging the re- routing of Highway No. 1 along the ocean to Avila and not through the City. Dr. Mullin stated that the matter of Route 1 -A had been settled by the Council and hoped that the City would continue to widen City streets as they are presently doing. Art Blackwell stated he felt that Route 5 -A to Marsh Street interchange would solve the most problems for the City and would not injure development now or contemplated in the Laguna area. Archie Lux appeared before the Council presenting arguments against the development of a highway route along Broad Street or proposed Route 1 -A. He felt that proposed Route 5 -A through Los Osos Valley to the Marsh Street interchange was the best for the City. City Council Minutes July 6 1965 Page Z_ He then touched upon the fact that when a freeway is built., not - " ' - 7 only are people moved out'. but that properties adjacent`'-to arecUecreasdd in value and become poorly maintained. Irving Kogan urged all this information regarding the routes within the City has been well discussed and urged that the 0ouncil only hear new information regarding routing and not the same presentations again..

City Council Minutes July 6, 1965 Page -5- e If anybody desired to call upon us or our tenants during the day they would have to park practically a block away. Our tenant at 1738 Johnson Avenue has called us and is very much disturbed about this proposal which would prevent anybody from parking in front of that house. It would also effect the residential value of three homes south of us toward Lizzie Street. We do not wish to restrict the development and the progress of the City of San Luis Obispo. We know that changes and certain restrictions may come about in due time, but we do not feel that the residential value of our home should be destroyed to the extent that this proposed restriction contemplates. We do not object to any restrictions in front of Mrs. Bilodeau's home. This is- something which concerns her. She has ample room for parking back of her property and would cause her no inconvenience. But the homes south of her property to Lizzie Street would be placed at a great disadvantage. We oppose this restriction of parking in front of our property and we hope that you will give our position sympathetic consideration." Mrs. Bilodeau stated that the'Traffic Committee recommendation did not do as she requested as all she asked was that the parking be prohibited in front of her house and in front of the Chase property and no where else. Mrs. McQuaid, 1746 Johnson Avenue, stated that she did not want to restrict parking in front of their property on Johnson Avenue. City Enzineer Romero stated that traffic congestion was developing to such an extent that in his opinion it was desirable to, restrict parking on both sides of Johnson between Lizzie Street and the Three Corner Grocery, but that this step was not warranted until the start of school in the fall. Councilman Miller agreed with Mrs. Bilodeau, stating that all she had requested was the prohibition of parking in front of her property and Mr. Chase's property and he suggested that the other properties be left as is. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1450, a resolution establishing a no parking zone on Johnson Avenue. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Donald Q. Miller, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None 13. (Continued) Mr. Harold Carr urged the adoption by the. Council of proposed Route 5 -A and eliminate further consideration of Route l -A or Broad Street. Mrs. Irwin asked the City Council to publish Mrs. Gallock's letter in the paper so that everyone could read the points made. Miss Maxwell asked that the City Council not consider any freeway route through the City, but put in Los Osos Valley area where it belongs and she felt would cause the least difficulty to the property owners and taxpayers. City Ensineer Romero made a lengthy presentation pointing out the City's traffic problems and the benefits which would be derived from freeway routing either within the City or bypassing the City. He explained that from a strictly engineering standpoint, the lA Route would provide the greatest traffic benefit. He discussed several deficiencies in the State's method of City Council Minutes July 6,1965 Page -6- analysis of the benefit cost ratio. Intaking these into account, as well as loss of tax valuation.9 disruption of homes,, and traffic benefits beyond the study period ending in 1985, he recommended that Rbute5A beadopted.

City Council Minutes July 6, 1965 Page -7- "Relative to our discussion regarding the improvement of San Luis Drive. The Superintendent has requested that I contact you and request the City of San Luis Obispo to submit its proposal concerning this improvement. Said improvement, of course, will be contingent upon the movement of the maintenance facility and the demolition of'existing buildings." City Engineer Romero explained that his office had prepared property .acquisition sketches and descriptions in accordance with the adopted setback line and had partially designed curb grades for this portion of street, however due to the pressure of other work this summer, his office would be unable to complete construction plans or prepare detailed estimates a at this time. Dr. Notley stated he was most interested in the street grade and right of way of San Luis Drive. Administrative Officer Miller said there were no funds in the budget for this; and cost could run as high as $40,000 or $50,000. On motion of Councilman Miller; seconded by Councilman Blake; the City staff is to meet with School District representatives to determine proper alignment of San Luis Drive and report back to the City Council. Motion carried. 25. City Engineer Romero reported on meeting in which a 6' strip of land owned by Mr. Blaser alongside the Nazarene Church property was discussed with representatives of the Church and Mr. Blaser. The following conclusions were reached as a result of the meeting: "1. Mr. Blaser is willing to sell the 6' strip to either the City or the Church, although he has not set a figure. 2. The Church is not willing to buy the 6' strip and may or may not accept it as a gift, aince the ownership of this property requires the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and reimbursement to the City for water line costs. 3. Mr. Blaser is convinced that the driveway access to the Church cannot be expanded from the former residential use to a Church use. The Church is convinced that it can. 4. Both the Church and Mr. Blaser agree there is a serious question whether the present access rights can be expanded to permit a second driveway as shown.on the plot plan'and approved by the Planning Commission." John Smee, representing the Church of the Nazarene, presented the background of how the 6 foot strip came into existence,`and its present status as far as the Church is concerned. Mr. Smee continued that the Church would be willing to.put in curb, gutter and sidewalk and water extension if the matter of the ownership of the 6' strip is cleared up. Mr. Leonard Blaser then presented his -view as to the ownership and existence of the 6' strip along Southwood Drive. The City Council discussed the propriety of the Planning Commission requiring the Church to place curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along the 6' strip on Southwood Drive that they did not own. City Engineer Romero explained the Planning Commission's reason in granting the use permit with the requirement of placing curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along Southwood Drive. ity Council Minutes my 6,1965 age - 8- Councilman Miller suggested that the City -acquire the 6' st'rip'and•�" include it in the width of Southwood drive and then have the church put in curb, gutter and sidewalk and reimburse the City for water line extension.
