Communication from Mike Yankton, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, requesting the Council to fill three vacancies on that committee created by resig- nations was referred to the Council selection committee of Mayor Schwartz and Councilman Spring. 5. At this time the City Council discussed the appointment of a Council Advisory -Committee on CBD Parking Meters. Councilman Graham suggested that a representative of Cal Poly should be on the parking committee so that the thoughts of the students and faculty of Cal Poly could be considered in parking matters. He continued that he had discussed-this matter with Doug Gerard who was on the staff at Cal Poly and Mr. Gerard would be happy'to serve. ' Councilman Miller suggested that the City Traffic Committee should meet with the new parking committee after appointment in order that Council support could be given the new parking: committee. Councilman Blake felt that no members of the City Council should be on the com- mittee so that the committee could work free of Council influence and could make recommendations without any pressure from iridividual.eouncilmen. City Council Minutes November 17, 1969 Page 2 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. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes November 179 1969 Page 3 Mayor Schwartz was authorized by the Council to.make-the necessary arrangements for appointments and representatives.to the committee. 6. Communication from the Planning Director requesting that the Council appoint an Underground Utility Coordinating Committee, whose purpose would be to provide ' for coordination of utility construction projects and to minimize conflicts a- mong the facilities of each agency represented. He suggested that the committee - consist of representatives of the various utility companies, a representative from the Public Works Department, Building Inspection Division, Planning Division a member of the Design Review Board and a member of the Planning Commission. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Graham, the recommendation was approved with the committee to be appointed as requested.

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. 2. Several of the Commission members were of the opinion that two con- forming C -N (liquor store and market) properties should be excluded from the rezoning. 3. The five affirmative votes necessary to recommend approval of a re- zoning could not be obtained, therefore, this application was forwarded to the City Council without a recommendation. 1 1 1 1 City Council Minutes November 17, 1969 Page 5 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. City Council Minutes November 17, 1969 Page 6 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. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes November 17, 1969 Page 7 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 Page 8 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. 19. Request from E. P. Thompson, Director of the Water Department, for permission to call for bids for furnishing the City a mixed truck load of cast iron pipe con- sisting of 30 lengths of 8" x 181 pipe, 18 lengths of 6" by 181 pipe and 8 lengths of 4" x 18, pipe.

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.

City Council Minutes November 17, 1969 Page 10 244 -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.

Councilman Miller suggested that the City Council should set up a meet- ing with the two County Supervisors representing San Luis Obispo and the.County Assessors Office to discuss the open space program in the City and County and the advisability of establishing a county -wide smog control ordinance. Due to the holiday season, the staff was asked to make arrangements for this meeting after January 1, 1970. 309 Councilman Miller also suggested that the City Council should set up a meet- ing with the state legislators William M.
