Councilman Spring suggested that the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Assoc-
iation appoint two representatives each to meet with the Traffic Committee so
that they can keep track of what is happening as far as downtown parking is
concerned. He continued that he did not feel there was inadequate parking in
San Luis Obispo but that the major problem was that the employees of the down-
town stores were parking all day in the metered spaces.
Mayor Schwartz stated that the parking problem is one thing that ai.citizens
group could effectively study and make recommendations on to the Council. He
felt that the allocation and location of lots should be a City function through
the Planning Commission. However, he felt that recommendations regarding time
limits, meter fees, etc* could be handled by a citizens committee responsible
to the City Council.
B. Leitcher, Downtown Association, felt the Council members should be on the
committee and would-be a great asset in interpreting Council policy for the
committee. He also felt that a.Cal Poly representative on the committee would
be welcome. He then suggested other areas of the community that could be rep-
resented on the committee.
Mayor Schwartz stated that before the committee was appointed, perhaps the
Council should designate what areas they wished the committee to cover. He
suggested the following:
1. The committee should be an ad.hoc committee to the Council.
2. The committee should be appointed for one year with a final report
to be submitted and the committee dissolved.
3. The committee should undertake the study of user reaction to the
location of parking lots, time limits and amounts charged for parking..
4. The committee should recommend new parking lot locations.
5. The committee should study the matter of employee parking versus...
customer parking.
6. The committee should study and make,.recommendations:.on.in lieu
certificates in the.0 -2 zone.
7. The committee should study and make reccmmendations on parking
requirements in the C-2 zone.
8. The committee could propose a plan to remove meters from the
- CBD parking areas and if not, explain why not. .
9. The committee could study the need of additional parking in the
CBD area.
Councilman Graham stated he felt the recommendations of the Mayor were-good
ones and if the committee were appointed for these purposes it would be of
- service to the City. He suggested that the committee consist of a_represent -.
ative of Cal Poly, two retail merchants, three Downtown Association members,
one member of the Planning Commission and one member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Blake suggested that in addition to the list recommended by the
Mayor, the committee could also study parking requirements near the courthouse.
Councilman Spring felt that the studies to be undertaken by the committee.
woulc not t he still felt there was no real problem in the CBD.area...
but he felt that the committee might make some suggestions for better parking.
The City Council discussed the make -up of the proposed parking advisory,-com-
mittee and came up with the following: One representative of Cal Poly, one
housewife, one downtown property owner, one member of the Planning Commission
and one representative of the Chamber of Commerce.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Miller, the parking ad-
visory committee to the City Council would consist of five members composed of
one representative of Cal Poly, one housewife, one downtown property owner,
one member of the Planning Commission and one representative of the Chamber of
Commerce; with duties to be as outlined by the Mayor.

mong the facilities of each agency represented. He suggested that the committee

from the Public Works Department, Building Inspection Division, Planning Division

The following report was received from the Planning Commission:
l." A majority of the Commission was of the opinion that the entire area
described in this application should be rezoned to R -H on the basis that
the area is basically residential in character and would not develop as
a C -N shopping area.

forming C -N (liquor store and market) properties should be excluded from
the rezoning.

Mr. R. Dickey, Islay Street, requested the City Council to schedule this matter
for public hearing as he felt the entire area should be rezoned to R =H, which
also was the conclusion of the Planning Commission. The Commission could not
arrive at a decision due to the two commercial properties on Osos Street. He
continued that he felt this area should be developed to high density residential
but due to the zoning existing at this time nothing could be done to develop
this area. He urged the Council to hold a public hearing on this matter.
144 Re noldd owner of a grocery store on Csos Street, urged the Council to allow
,thy ring to remain on his property as he had just remodeled this building
to accommodate a grocery store and it would be a number of years before his in-
vestment could be realized. He continued that he had once asked for permission
to'develop the property for residential purposes but that due to the zone he
could not do so.
C. Harter, liquor store owner on Osos Street, also urged the City Council to
protect his investment by not changing the zoning on his property to anything
other than C -N because if the building were to be destroyed for any reason he
could not rebuild due to zoning 'restrictions.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman S rin , that the City
Council set a public hearing for December 1, W797-Motion carried.
15. N. Diemen, 30 Verde Drive, presented for the Council's consideration a
petition signed by 68 persons urging that the City Council approve the amended
plan submitted by Baker Brothers for the development of Phase III, Tropicana.
Village for the following reasons:
1. We believe the amended plan is more esthetic than the plan previously
approved and more in keeping with the Obispo Beautiful concept.
2. The amended plan provided for much more off- street parking than the
previous plan.
3. We support the reasoning of the Planning Staff at the time the amended
plan was submitted, and we believe the amended plan deserves further con-
sideration.
Communication from R. J. Rodin, 237 Del Mar Court, urging the City Council not
to approve any plan for development by Baker Brothers unless it included the
opening of Ramona Street easterly to Broad Street. He continued that this plan
for opening Ramona Street has been promised the residents of the area for over
sixteen years in order to give them easier access to Broad Street.
B. Loper, Luneta Drive, urged the City Council not to waste time on discussion
of the Baker proposal as it must be approve by the Planning Commission-before
the Council can consider the amended planned development. He further stated that
not everyone on both sides of the issue had.been notified that a hearing would
be held and a fair representation would not be made unless both sides were
notified.
Councilman Miller stated he did not have amy knowledge of the planned development
under discussion and did not feel he could discuss the matter with the people
involved.
' Councilman Spring agreed with Councilman Miller's statement as he too had no
knowledge of the Baker development and did not feel he could take part in the
discussion.
Mayor Schwartz stated that this was not a regularly scheduled public hearing but
only a_ citizen's request for the City Council to consider the proposal and refer
it back to the Planning Commission.

Councilman Blake stated he felt the Council should hear both sides of this
issue, and after discussion the Council could request the Planning Commission
to again hear a public hearing on the-Baker proposal if they so desired.
Mayor Schwartz suggested that the Planning Director and City Engineer present
their views to the City Council as they are apparently the key issues in the
disapproval of the Planned Development.
Councilman Graham suggested that the Council should hold a public hearing on.
the matter at a set time and date so that everyone could be heard on the- .issue.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Graham, that a public
hearing on the Baker Brothers proposal be held at 7:30 P.M. on Dec. 1, 1969.
The motion was lost on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Myron Graham
NOES: Emmons Blake, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller,
Kenneth E. Schwartz
ABSENT: None
W. Wagonner, 92 Verde Drive, asked if they were to present a modified plan could
the Planning Commission again hear the proposal.
Mayor Schwartz answered yes.
R. D. You , Planning Director, informed the City Council that the Planning
o5ffi sion had held a public hearing on the proposed amended planned devel-
opment by Baker Brothers and that this amended plan has been disapproved by
the Planning Commission. He stated that under the City Ordinance the.matter
could not be referred to the Planning Commission as the amended plan must.first
be approved by the Commission before further action could be taken, therefore
no action could be taken on this matter by the Council at this time.
J. Hemen, 30 Verde Drive, stated he wants Ramona Street closed and does'not
care what is built on Ahe Baker property. He felt the main problem was the
danger caused by the students driving on Ramona Street and parking outside
the boundaries of the Baker property.
R. Troutner, 515 Luneta, objected to the opening of Ramona as he felt that the
students would be parking -all over the area in front of'the residential property
outside the boundaries of the Baker property.
B. Dusek, 24 Verde Drive, objected to the opening of Ramona Drive through to
Broad Street due to the safety of small school children who would have to walk
through this area and would be endangered by the high speed student traffic.of .
college students.
J. Gates, 125 Serrano Heights, objected to the opening of Ramona Street to
Broad Street and urged the Council to open Luneta Drive northerly which would.
give access to the area adjacent to the Baker property. He felt opening Ramona
would be hazardous to pedestrians and children walking to school. He also felt
that if Ramona Drive were opened the residents of the Baker development would
park on Verde Drive and adjacent streets.
Ray Vorhies, 242 Del Mar Court, urged the Council to open Ramona as had been
promised to the property owners for many years. He felt the street should be
opened for easier access to the Foothill area.
R. Call, 81 Verde Drive, was opposed to opening Ramona due to the possibility
TM e Baker tenants would use Verde Drive, Luneta Street and Ramona Street
for parking.

H: Yasumoto, 10 Verde Drive, asked that the City Council request the Planning
Commission to hold another public hearing on the Baker plan on the basis that
Luneta Drive would go through and possibly solve the circulation problem.
L. Nicholson, 103 La Entrada, stated that the supporters of opening Ramona Street
were not here to present their feelings before the City Council as they were not
' aware that the Council was to hold an informal public hearing at this time. He
continued he felt that past City Councils and Planning Commissions have promised
the opening of Ramona Street.
Airs. Reynolds, 77 Verde Drive, objected to the opening of Ramona on the basis that
s e cad not reel there was any advantage to traffic circulation as Ramona dead -
ends at Broad Street.
B. Loper stated he was opposed to the closing of Ramona as he felt it should be
opened for adequate traffic circulation in the general area. He continued that
regardless of which Baker plan is-developed he felt that the parking and traffic
in the general area will be bad.
Dr. Rodin, 237 Del Mar Court, urged the opening of Ramona for better traffic
circulation in the area and also urged that the developer of the Baker property
be requested to provide more parking for tenants. He feels that developments of
this type usually don't provide enough parking for their tenants.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated that in his opinion, the opening of Ramona .
Street was important to provide for improved traffic circulation, for access for
emergency vehicles, as an easement for utility lines, and to relieve future over-
load conditions on Foothill Boulevard.
Councilman Miller stated that after hearing the discussion this evening, brief as
it was, he would support the decision of the Planning Commission and deny the appeal.
' Councilman Graham felt that with the proposed opening of Luneta a new element had
been presented and -the Planning Commission could now restudy the matter with a
new viewpoint.
Councilman Spring stated he would support the m
decision of the Planning Comission
and deny any appeal to the Planning Commission on this proposal on the basis of
the discussion held this evening.
Councilman Blake stated that based upon the informal hearing this evening he would
support the decision of the Planning Commission and would deny any appeal to the
Planning Commission. Further, he felt that Ramona should be opened.
Mayor Schwartz stated he felt the new plan had merit and provided for better
living environment, but he felt that Ramona should be opened to Broad Street and
would support the decision of the Planning Commission. He suggested that the
Baker Brothers might come up iri.th a third alternate plan which would allow for
more parking and for Ramona to go through to Broad. But _he felt nothing had
been presented to warrant referral to the Planning Commission.
It was the consensus of the City Council that no new evidence had been presented
this evening, on the Baker proposal, to ask the Planning Commission to change
their decision on this matter and hold another hearing on the same proposal by
the Baker Brothers.
' 16. Communication from J. Kuden, realtor, requesting the formation of .an assess -
ment district to install trunk sewer and water lines to serve the Los Osos Valley.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained that major trunk sewer and water lines to
serve the Los Osos Valley are prohibitively expensive for an individual developer.
In his opinion, the most feasible means of developing these facilities would be
by.assessment district which could encompass the entire service area.
J. Kuden stated he felt there were about 1800 acres involved in the proposed
assessment district area.
City Council Minutes
November 17, 1969

Mayor Schwartz stated he felt that before forming an assessment district fore '
these improvements: he would like to have this land become part of the City.
It was the consensus of the Council that before an assessment district is formed
for the installation of such improvement the land should first be annexed to
the City.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, was requested to meet with the various City '
staff members to study both the annexation problem and the special assessment
district formation.
The matter was continued.
17. Communication from the City Engineer, forwarding a list of obstructions in
the natural drainage channels throughout the community. He stated that if the'
City Council had no objections he would proceed under the provisions of Ordinance
No. 459 to abate these obstructions.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, the Council had no
objections and the City Engineer was authorized to proceed.
186 Communication from the Planning Director forwarding a list of plants and
materials for the Mission Plaza that could be donated by various groups. The
planters are keyed to the Master Landscape Plan for the overall development of
Mission Plaza.
The City Council stated that it would accept this list and would attempt to get
this information to the public.
18A. Communication from the Design Review Board forwarding a proposal for plant-
ing of 181 street trees in the downtown area. The streets to be planted would be
Marsh, Olive, Monterey and Santa Rosa Streets. The estimate for planting one I
tree is $250; $80 for each tree and $170 for the concrete base.
They recommended that this program be spread over a two -year period with 95 trees
to be planted during 1970 -71 fiscal year at an estimated cost of $21,150, and 86
trees to be planted during the 1971 -72 fiscal year at an estimated cost of $24;002.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Miller, the matter was con-
tinued to the Council budget study sessions for the 1970_71 budget.
18B. Communication from the Design Review Board recommending that the City not
install directional signs to Lopez Lake as the Division of Highways has refused
to direct tourists off the freeway through San Luis Obispo to Lake Lopez.,
The Design Review Board did feel that a few signs at selected intersections
directing motorists to"the `County airport would provide a worthwhile service to
the community.
D. F. Romero presented a proposed airport sign for the Council's consideration.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blab, the matter was con-
tinued and the City Engineer was instructed to investigate the international sign
for airports.

21. Communication from J. Ready, realtor, regarding the purchase by the City of
that property located at the corner of Nipomo and Higuera for $12,300..
Councilman Miller stated he felt that due to the proximity of San Luis Creek to
this property he felt the City should purchase the land for possible extension of
the Mission Plaza and could be used in the meantime for parking._ _
Councilman Graham felt that the land could be developed for parking by private en-
terprise as he questioned the need for a City parking lot in the area.
Mayor-Schwartz stated he felt that as the Mission Plaza expanded, this property
could be the base for the development. He felt it could be used temporarily for
a parking lot, but he felt the creek should be protected for future use by the City.
He supported the acquisition of the land by the City. He felt that perhaps this
land might help to improve this portion of the CBD.
Councilman Greham stated he hoped that if this property is-developed it would be
' used for employee parking.
Councilman Spring stated he was opposed to the purchase of the property by the
City as he felt it was too small and would be too expensive for development as
a parking lot. Further, he did not feel that parking was needed in:.this area as
there was already plenty of available parking on the street.
-D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated that the estimated cost to develop-thirty-to
thirty five spaces on this property would be $40,000.
Councilman Blame stated he felt the property should be developed by private enter-
prise and not by the City. He felt the parking lot would be too small and was not
needed at this time.

244 -Communication from D.,F. Romero, City,Engi.neer, reporting on traffic signal
investigations taken at various areas during the month of October. According to
his studies the only intersection justifying traffic signals at this time is the
intersection of Johnson Avenue and Bishop Street. He recommended that the Coun-
cil include funds for this project in the next budget. He estimated the cost to
install signals at.this intersection.to be $8,500.
He continued that he also studied the need of a traffic signal at Santa Rosa and
Walnut. The traffic generated at that time did justify a signal on the basis of
the number of cars, however, since 80% of the Walnut Street traffic turns right
and would be hindered by a signal, he recommended that a signal not be installed
at this time,
Councilman.Spring stated he felt that traffic signals should be installed at
Santa Rosa and Walnut as the new Police facility will create a great amount of
traffic which will cause problems.in getting onto Santa Rosa Street.
Councilman Miller agreed that a signal should be installed at Santa Rosa and
Walnut. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the
_ report of the City Eng1neer be referred to the Council budget study-session : s
Motion carried.
It was the feeling of the City Council that a traffic signal should be installed
at the intersection of Santa Rosa. and Walnut at the same time that the,balance
of Santa Rosa Street is widened.

Due to the holiday season, the staff was asked to make arrangements for this

ing with the state legislators William M. Ketchum and Donald L. Grunsky to discuss
