Planning Commission..actions.-The recommendation originally was to change
the-fee from:$10 to $50 but after studying.the various zoning appli
.cations in..the'last three years,'reviewing the expenses and finally the
fact that the appeal procedures were considered a right of the appellant,
there was a recommendation of the staff to the City Council that no change

C -5 ..Vice -Mayor Graham recognized- a.number of.persons_in_ the audience
interested..in.this.item, requested .Council.permission.to- take..it up at this
time. The Council concurred.
Report'.from the'Community Development Director and the City Engineer on the
appeal of. the - Planning.Commission's.approval of the-use permit,.No. U =0504
church expansion at :3396 Johnson- "Avenue,.Church.of the Nazarene regarding right -
of -way dedication and improvement for Flora Street extension.
The staff reported that the Planning Commission at a Public Hearing conducted
on August 26, 1975 approved the use permit Fdr.the ehurch hxpansion and
related parking lot. The staff recommended to the Planning Commission as a con -
dition of approval the dedication and.improvement of street right -of -way across
'the subject- property to permit the extension of Flora Street to align -at South-
wood Drive.
The staff indicated to the Planning Commission that the street extension was
needed badly inasmuch as Flora Street was a dead end street extending more than
1/4 mile.from_a single access. Also it was indicated that_the F1ora.Street
extension had been shown_on.the.City's streets and Highways Master Plan
since 1961 as a local collector although it did not appear on the 1972
General Plan as this plan indicated only arterials and major collectors.
'The staff also noted that the.church recently acquired_the: two separate parcels
contiguous to the existing church parking lot across which the street would be
extended. Further the street right -of -way was needed for the extension of a
12" water main to insure reliable water'system as- recommended in -the Penfield
Smith Report on Edna Valley.
The staff-recommended a condition that the .church.dedicate_and..improve the
street extension. The Planning Commission after approving the use permit, passed
a motion'directing the staff to send the item to the City Council if the City
Council wished to acquire and /or improve the right -of -way at City expense.
The .Planning- Commission.generally agreed the street was needed but felt that
the scope of expansion of the church was too small to warrant the street dedication

and improvement. The Community: - Development- Director and the City Engineer
consider the.street extension .essential. -and warranted the - filing of an.appeal
...by the Staff of the Planning-Commission-decision to,.permit the.Council complete
.latitude in.:its decision whether ... or.not.to.require:street. dedication and im-
provement.as_a.condition-.of approval-of this development through the use permit.
The City.. - .Council .discussed - with- Robert.Strong and Wayne'Peterson the implication
of -.the. Planning- Commission's - .action._on!.. the. use permit as it affected.the right -
of- way .dedication_and.the:improvement of .the street.-
' John Smee,:..representing the Church.of.the Nazarene objected to the City staff
trying to hold up the church for land acquisition to get a city street. He.
stated that,-the-church felt it was.unfair.for the City staff to require them
to.give- up- land.for -the street;-pay for.-the paving .. and improvements as that
all that.was.being done to the church-was adding 150 seats to the sanctuary
and they.were:.not.in.the land development business. True, they purchased
additional land.for parking spaces required for the church. John Smee stated
that the.church would also - object to the.recommendation of placing curb, gutter
and paving.along..Southwood Drive, presently unimproved. Finally, if the City
Council.followed.the Staff.'s.advice.on the street and street improvements they
would.just. not - go.ahead with the church expansion. He also stated that if the
City.Council or their staff wanted to extend Flora Street., then all the City had
to do was have the taxpayers pay for it and not expect the church to buy the
land, pave -the street.and then pay for.the improvements which would be of.no.
benefit to.the.church since they would actually lose parking because of the street.
Mr..Foss..questioned.- the.right the City had of showing Flora Street going through
private.property..to Southwood Drive.
Rober.t.StronR;_Community Development.Director, again reviewed the alignment of the
proposed.extension of Flora.Street and- how.all developments had been planned
by the City with the intent that Flora Street would go through .to Southwood
Drive.
Dennis Johansen, City Planning Commissioner, stated that it.was, his intent as
a Planning Commissioner that the church -not dedicate or pay for any improvements
of Flora Street-as he:felt it was an -undue burden on the church and on their
members.
The matter-was-referred to the City Council-t6 pick up the.costs'of right -of -way,
pay -.for the.improvements if they so desired as tie felt the street would be of greater
use to the adjacent properties than to the church. He.felt that the street was
needed and should_ be- handled.by the general taxpayers.
Charles French,-developer, felt that the church was just like any other developer
and should pay for improvements to serve.their property and'.adjacent properties.
.Don MaCaleb- was.appalled that the City Council would even consider charging a
church as.a developer and required to giving up of expensive land and putting in
- !_).iexp..ensive.st_reet. mproyements. He felt that at no time had the City shown
the alignment of Flora Street through the church property. '
Councilman_ Gurnee.did_.uot agree with -the staff's conditions for improvements
by the church -which would-include the-deeding of Flora Street -and making the
necessary improvements as a trade off.for a minor church alteration. He felt
it was wrong and he would not support the appeal... Further, he would accept the
offer of the church -for water and sewer easement and a fire easement.
Councilman-Norris stated.'he.too was opposed to the staff recommendation to
require.the church to'deed street.right -of -way and improve Flora Street.through
their property, although he would support.and accept the church's offer for
utility -. easement=- and..fire truck access.
Councilman..Petterson agreed _with the comments of Councilman Gurnee and Council-
man Norris.
Vice -Mayor Graham stated that while he would like to support the staff's appeal
he could not.-agree with the recommendation that the - church dedicate and improve
the extension of Flora Street. He hoped that the Council would not take action
at this time but continue this matter to a further public hearing.

Councilman.Gurnee felt that the Council-should take action now on the staff's
appeal for the minor.improvement of the church.
On.motion.- of_Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Petterson that the City
Council reject. -the staff appeal and 'authorize the engineer to grant the use
permit as authorized by the Planning Commission. The City Engineer was to work
with the church.for utility easement and a public-safety access to the adjacent
property.

12. The developer shall provide.street trees as required by City

13.- The developer shall pay park land dedication fees as determined

approval of the City Engineer.
15. The developer shall construct a curb return on lot 17 along

Robert Strong concluded by stating that the staff recommends the Council
approval of the Tentative Ma p.of .Tract.568, subject to the Planning Commission's
recommendations that lacking.submission of the proposed covenants, restrictions
and,prescribed.design.criteria that the City Council condition...tentative map
Tract approval to review by the..Architectural Review Commission and finally '
he. stated -that the developer is using a modified option for development under
the provision of Municipal Code Section.9100 -4 and.is granting the.City over
1.5 acres of land for open space thereby allowing smaller lots without a
I grading.-plan-as the lots will be developed on an individual basis without
..building plans being graded by.the developer and the only grading to be done
by the developer will be in the street right.o.f.way.
Robert Strong.upon question,stated..that any grading of over-500 cubic yards
or over 3-feet, on any lot, would require an.E.I.R. and'.a grading plan for
each lot. Further, the builder on each lot will have to take into consider-
ation the lot development, grading and building location on the adjacent lots.
Charles French, developer, Tract 568,.stated that he accepts all 19 condi-
tions established by the.Planning Commission and staff..
Councilman Gurnee presented calculations that he prepared that show only
3 of the 17 lots in the subdivision meet the cross slope and area criteria
of the City ordinance. He stated that some of the lots are undersized by
over 25%. He continued that the tentative map has 52 violations to City
ordinances. He continued that.in. order for. the Tract to be developed, each
lot will.be required to.'apply.for a variance either -for. lot depth,.width,
etetation, cross slopes, etc., and he recommends that the City Council not
accept the tentative map for this subdivision due to the code violations.on
each lot and finally due to these problems he felt that.the Planning.Commission
was very lax in approving the subdivision without requiring m6. E.I.R.'
Robert Strong felt that the staff has very carefully.prepared the tract map
with the developer under the optional standard of the City code where the
City would acquire open.space. He -felt this was a good plan, would prove
adequate lots and would make a good development for the City.
Ben Maddalena, Engineer,for the.Developer,French, state& that as an engineer
he disagreed with Councilman Gurnee's calculations,.as he too has checked
the area of the tract in light of the optional standards of the code. He
felt that,the.proposed.tract.would be developed to.a high.standard due to
its location.

A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, stated that if the City Council accepts the tenta-
tive map of Tract 568 with conditions listed, the Council should establish
criteria for handling the open space and also he felt that the Planning
Commission condition No. 13 should be amended to read "The developer shall
pay park land dedication fees as determined by City ordinance ", As he did
not feel that open-space qualifies as park land.
Councilman Norris, stated he did not feel that requiring large area lots
was the answer to the City's need for buildable lots. He felt the proposed
tract was a good apprach to innovative use of land.
Councilman Graham felt that the tract had too many problems and he felt
further that each purchaser of the lots will have to apply for various
variances in order to use the lots for building.
Councilman Petterson felt that the unique site of the proposed tract due
to terrain would appeal to many potential buyers, further as the City Staff
has told the City Council that this tentative map meets all City codes for
optional development standards he would support approval of the tentative
map for Tract 568, and finally he felt many citizens of the community would
like to try and develop a house on the terrain.
The City Council then discussed in detail the tentative map and conditions for
development of Tract 568 as it related to open space, cross slope, grading,
and the lack of filing of an E.I.R. on this development.
Councilman Norris stated he would accept open space in lieu of strict cross
slope criteria, although he felt the developer should deposit cash for park
land. Finally it was his opinion that the tract could be developed as a
unique addition to the City.
Councilman Gurnee moved that the tentative map for Tract 568 be rejected,
due to the 52 violations to City ordinances. Motion lost for lack of a
second.
On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Petterson that the
Council accept the tentative map of Tract 568, including the 19 conditions
established by Planning Commission and staff, with the further condition
that the developer pay in lieu fees for park dedication. Motion lost on
the following vote:
AYES: Councilman Norris and Councilman Petterson
NOES: Councilman Graham and Councilman Gurnee
ABSENT: Mayor Schwartz
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham that consider-
ation of the tentative map of Tract 568 be continued to October 6, 1975, with
a request that.the Planning Commission and staff be asked to review their
recommendation for approval in view of comments at this meeting. Motion

carried.
11: Wayne .-Peterson,.City.:Engineer., asked:for. the City Council policy
determination'on.street: paving, stating.that recently.the_City Council
reaffirmed a policy of paving out,.in kind..when the property owners put in
curb, gutter and sidewalk. This policy worked when the street currently
is in an improved paved condition but in many areas of the City there were
unimproved streets with-developments going in which would, in the future,
cause many problems for.the maintenance-section and the motoring public.
He therefore, recommended.that the City Council adopt the following policy:
"As a condition for a building permit for a new structure on a non -paved
street, the applicant..shall- fully.improve one -half of the street abutting
this property. If the.property.were to be used for commercial or industrial
purposes or in a residential use requiring 10 or.more parking spaces the
applicant would be required to improve an additional.12' lane on the opposite
side of the:.street abutting.his. development in:order to provide for 2 -way
access:" -As-in the past, the-City would-provide design, survey and'inspection
services on all public.streets.without direct,,cost to the property owner. If
the Council were-to-adopt this..policy, the Community Development Department
would-have inb,.. problems .r'equiring:the.improvements which would greatly enhance
the newly developing areas of the .City.
On motion of.Councilman.Petterson, seconded:,by:Councilman Gurnee, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced:. Resolution No. 2878, a resolution of the
Council of the-City-of.-San Luis Obispo approving and adopting a paving policy
