, 3A. Petition from the Roman Catholic Bishop ,of Monterey in California and Arnold.

doned.by.the City.
P. Andre, Attorney for the Catholic Church stated that it was the Church's under
standing that the City was planning on opening Mill Street between Nipomo and.
Broad.wUl ch had been closed.for over 20 years. The Church felt the street should.
be abandoned to the adjacent property owners as it is now being used.by the Church
Li as part of their baseball field for the high school. Also, he felt if the street
were opened for traffic, it would be hazardous for the children walking between the
two Catholic schools on 3road. Street situated. on each side of Mill.
P. Andre listed the history of the existing non -use of Mill Street and stated he
ei`ft that when the street was closed he felt it was the intention of the City,
Church and other property owners that Mill Street would be closed to any future
traffic.
Mayor Schwartz explained to Mr. Andre the discussion held.frith Mr. Volny at a
prior meeting at which time the Council stated that when Mr. Volny. was ready-to
develop his property on Mill Street, the street would be open for traffic.
H. Johnson, City Attorney, explained.the situation as he viewed. it, stating there
has been no action taken to abandon I4ill Street nor were any agreements signed to
abandon I >Iill Street for use by the baseball teams.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated.that the Master Streets and.-Highways Plan of
the City shows Mill Street open as a major thru street.
Mayor Schwartz stated-that the City Council must now decide whether the City needs
the street for through traffic.
H. Johnson stated that if the City were to proceed with-.:.an abandonment it should.
be referred to the Planning Commission for public hearing and. recommendation to
the City Council,
P. Andre stated that if the City Council were to refer this matter to the Planning
Commission, it should.be done as expeditiously as possible.

4. At this time the City Council held. a public hearing on the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to rezone from M to R -H -S that property located at
3510 Bullock Lane, a portion of Lot 135 of the San Luis Surburban Tract.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented.the following recommendations of the
Plannign Commission.
T. All of the property i-rlthi.n the City limits east of Bullock Lane and south of
Orcutt Road is zoned M (Industrial).,, however, the area is predominately developed.
for residential use. The PepsiCola bottling plant, the only industrial use.in
the area, is located contiguous to the subject property. There are 2 mobile home
parks, with a total area of approximately 12 acres, contiguous to the north of the
subject property which have frontage on Orcutt Road. These mobile home parks are
zoned I -I and are nonconforming ud.er the present zoning.
2. It was the consensus of the Commission that although the General Plan proposes
industrial uses for this area, the property has greater potential for residential
development. It was also the opinion of the Commission that there is a surplus of
industrial property provided for in the General Plan and more land is needed.for
residential development within the City limits.
3. The Co fission was of the opinion that the General Plan should 'be:amended.to
reflect residential use in this general area and. set the matter for public hearing
on June 3, 1969.
Mayor Schwartz declared. the public hearing open.
C. Baca, proposed.developer of the property, stated.that he was planning an 82
unit mobile home park on the property requested.for rezoning to R -H -S and. urged.
that the City Council go along with the recommendation of the Planning Commission
so that this much needed development could be constructed.
W. F`redman, Attorney representing the Pepsi Cola bottling plant, appeared.before
the -City Council urging that the Council deny the requested.rezoning from ICI to
R -H -S. He continued that when the bottling plant was built in 1962,.it was done
with a use permit in an M zone and that the avmer•of the bottling plant developed
his property with the belief that he was protected.by the M or industrial use zone.
He continued. he felt it was unfair to industrial property oVmers to surround.them
with residential development as the uses allowed. in the M zone would. become an
annoyance to the adjacent - residential dwellings. He felt that Mr. Bruce, manager
of the Pepsi Cola bottling plant, is faced with financial loss if for some reason
he cannot continue to use his property as developed. in the M zone. He stated. he
felt if residential encroachment were allowed on industrially zoned land it would.
set a bad.precedent for future industrial developers interested in coming to San
Luis Obispo. He urged. the City Council to deny the requested rezoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared. the public hearing closed.
Councilman Spring stated.that after stud;y-ing the property proposed.for rezoning
and.the adjacent property he felt the area should.remain as 1.1 zoned. on both sides
of the railroad right -of -way. He then listed.for the Council's information past
and.present developments going on west of the subject property and. stated. he felt
the property should remain as M.
Councilman Miller stated. that the General Plan of the City shows this area as
' industrially zoned and further that the newest building in the area is the Pepsi
Cola bottling plant. He felt that the City as a matter of good planning, should.
never allow residential uses next to an industrial development as he felt the sub -
ject change would be detrimental to any future development of industrial manufact-
uring uses in the City.
Councilman Puller urged that the City.Council d.any the.requested. rezoning and hoped.
tHit the City Council and Planning Commission could.get together and look into the
types of zoning that would allow mobile home parks. .

Mayor Schwartz stated. he felt that the Planning Commission should have taT:en action
to amend.the General Plan before recommending that the subject property be rezoned
contrary to the present General Plan. He also stated.that the purpose of rezoning
was to al ora change of use when land does not develop under existing zoning
conditions.
R. D. Young reminded the City Council that no one had opposed. the rezoning and.
t ere had. been no opposition by the school either. He also reaminded.the City
Council that there is not much land available.for R -H development for mobile home
parks.
Councilman Spring and Councilman Miller remind.ed.the City Council that the City
over the years had attempted.to encourage industrial development in the general
area and now that some development has taken place, the City was alloying resi-
dential encroachment into the industrial zone.
Councilman Blake stated he felt that the property along Orcutt Road should.be
deve oped. into high density residential use but felt that the property along
Bullock Lane could and should develop into industrial and manufacturing use.
He felt the M zone in this area was developing and felt that residential use
must not be allowed. in this area.
Councilman Graham questioned the development of a mobile home park in a growing
residential area.
C. Baca again appeared before the.City Council urging the
If to R -H -S for his proposed development. He continued th,

Councilman Blake stated he was not opposed to residential
but felt that the Council must decide whether residential

ABSaTT : None
Mayor Schwartz and Councilman Graham stated.they voted no, not because they were

to the Planning Cormission for additional study.
5. Petition from property owners on Brook Street requesting construction of
improvements by special assessment proceedings under .Division 7, Part 3, Chapter 27
of the Streets and Highways Code.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, reported that the petition was insufficient as to the
number of signatures and the required frontage. He felt it would be extremely
difficult to gather the required number of signatures.
CounciLnan hiller stated he felt that he coule procure additional signatures and
- asked that the matter be continued.
On motion of Councilman Miller seconded-by Councilman Blake;- the petition was

participating in funerals and.weddings to pull up close to the Church and would
