.CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
MONDAY, JANUARY'5, 1976 _ 7:00 P.M.
COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL
PRESENT:. Councilmen Gurnee, Norris, Petterson; Graham and
Mayor Schwartz
ABSENT: None
City Staff
PRESENT: R.D. Miller, Administrative Officer; J.H. Fitzpatrick,
City.Clerk, A.J. Shaw, City Attorney; Bill Flory,
Director of..Parks and Recreation; E.L. Rodgers, Chief
of Police; Lee Schlobohm, Fire Chief; Rob Strong,
Director of Community Development
1. The City Council..considered a public hearing on the.recommendation
of .the Planning Commission-to rezone-.601 Grove Street, from R -1 to R -0,
Application No. R- 0519,.Hal C. Purcell, applicant.
A.J. Shaw, City Attorney,.stated that_in.addition to the rezoning, this
particular matter.involved.a minor subdivision no. 434 and he felt that
due to the implications.of the subdivision on the rezoning, that the City
.Council should first consider the minor- subdivision and then go on to the
rezoning.
Rob Strong, Community.Development Director .,.reviewed.the..conditions.of Minor
Subdivision.No..434 involved at 601 Grove Street. ..He reviewed.the.site and
environs of the subject area and the two parcels to be - developed by the
property owners. He .reviewed the application and request stating that.
Parcel A would.contain.47,000_sq. ft., Parcel B 17,000 sq. ft. He continued
that the applicant's intention was to.concurrently request.rezoning of pro-
posed Parcel A..from R- 1.. to.R- 0 .and.propose.construction of.offices. Parcel B
would retain.the existing R -1 zoning for single family residential use. The
portion of the..proposal called Parcel A is indicated on both the General Plan
and staff revisions as.high_density.residential. Both, the zoning.ordinance
.and General P1_an..Revision allow office uses in.high density residential
areas subject.to.a.use.permit. The.Planning Commission felt that office
uses in the high density.residential-area controlled by use permit:are
consistent with the intent.of the adopted plan although the plan and text
do not address.this issue.specifically. In the Planning Commission's
opinion there. - were.relatively.few ways:.of developing.proposed Parcel A
except as submitted by.the.developers. If any other way were attempted,
the alternative would be largely unacceptable from a technical stand point
due to water,. sewer , - and.- .traffic.flow-exiting onto.Grove Street through a
common driveway. The staff also.felt that Parcel A would be very.undesirable
..for residential development because severe noise problems from the freeway
and the north bound onramp.
He continued that.the.developer . plans.to.use Parcel A for office use under
a single ownership.with access,.in combination with the.existing,.Medical Center.
It was.the.Planning.Commission's opinion that this'was a desirable alternative
although Parcel A would require rezoning. The technical problems are
minimized;. sewer and water.service would not cross separate fee title
_. ownerships,.access could be..via a single driveway in one ownership and
empty onto a.collector street, the noise problem would have less impact
upon an office type use. The Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council approve Minor Subdivision No. 434 subject to the following conditions:
A. Access to Parcel A shall be from California Blvd. via a perpetual access
easement agreement attached to Parcel.A. The alignment, width, construction
specifications and.provisions for.maintenance for such easement.shall be
.approved by the City Engineer, "delineated on and referred to by a note on
the final map.

B. The document creating..said.access agreement.shall be approved by the
City Attorney and shall be recorded.
C.. A private '.utility easement shall be-indicated on the final map: The
dimensions.and'..alignment shall be-approved by the City Engineer. All
improvements .:for.water-- and.sewer service to Parcel A shall be within
said. private.easement.constructed.to City standards and.approved by'
.the City'Engineer.
D. All-new-property corners shall be-permanently staked and indicated
on the final map.
E. .Fire hydrants.shall be installed.as.required by the Fire Marshall.
A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, stated that he- .objected .to the proposal as
..originally presented which.would have.allowed City.owned public utilities
to be.placed in-utility easements'through privite.property as he felt that
the'City.would be .accepting::increased.liability and.would leave.themselves
.open.to..citizens_;complaints when sewer.and'.water lines traversed private
property over which the City has little.or,no control. He`felt,that some
of the potential problems were:
1. .Burst water lines -with direct and.-indirect .damage.to adjoining real`
and.personal property;
2._ Conflicts between City maintenance-crews.-and private commercial
operations; and
3.. Inadequate- private_maintenance. of -..the driveway,.thereby endangering .
underlying City utilities.
- He:felt.. that ...these.were- j.ust_.some.of the-more-obvious problems.-associated
..with City-.owned utilities..in- private-- easements.. He felt that:.in -depth
analysis-would-reveal many more.. Therefore; as- legal.advisor to.the City
.Council he.would.advise against.the.City- .approving developments which
rely-upon the concept of City owned utilities in easements across private
property.
Dr. McAdams;. representing _Tolosa_Group.Medical Center, presented for the
Council'- s..information, the history, background and.reasons.for requesting
..the•Minor.Subdivision_No. 434..and• the rezoning in order.to make the uses
they.intend -legal if the subdivision is- approved.
Mayor. Schwartz.. declared .the .public hearing open.
Dr. McAdams:again_spoke_to_the City-Council urging..their.approval.of.the
minor.subdivision..with the.property:owners keeping.ownership.of their sewer
and water utilities including maintenance.
A.J. Shaw ,.City.Attorney,..again...stated that if. the._City..assumes.no liability
for the utilities, he-would-.have no objections to.-the-development.
Rob Strong, Community Development Director, said he could.not.understand
the Attorney :.s_.objection_to.allowing the developer to place public utilities
in.a dedicated--easement, He felt that this would be.the.preferred way that
..the "land- locked" parcel.and others like.it.should.be developed.with reliable
public utility.service. ..
Dr ..McAdams_again:_explained..the potential .use. of. Parcel .A..was as an addition...
to,the Medical..Center and the hope.that_ the City Council.would. allow the
subdivision with the utilities owned-by-the owners..
Tom.Elkholm, Medical Center, presented .supportive.information.for the minor
subdivision.urging the Council to accept the Planning Commission's recommenda-
tions-and-conditions.
J.H. Fitzpatrick, City - Clerk, presented a letter' :from.Mr..and Mrs. Roger
Cartwright_opposing'..the expansion of- the,., California.Medical Clinic.

Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Petterson stated he would support the proposal for both rezoning
and minor subdivision. He also felt that the utilities should be privately
owned and that the City Attorney should work out the conditions for their
maintenance.
Councilman Graham agreed with Councilman.Petterson's comments and would
' support the rezoning and minor subdivision subject to conditions of the
Planning Commission.
Councilman Gurnee felt that this was a difficult property to develop and
agreed with the Planning.Commission's recommendations that the utilities
should be in private ownership.
Councilman Norris agreed with the recommendations on the subdivision and
rezoning as outlined by the Planning Commission including the requirement
of private utilities, but he did not feel comfortable with the 20' access
driveway through the Medical Clinic's area.
Mayor Schwartz agreed with the Planning Commission on the subdivision and
rezoning and also the recommendation of the Attorney and Planning Commission
to keep the utilities privately owned by the property owner. He warned
the Council that they must keep alert not to allow land locked parcels in
he future without any access to public streets. He also felt that documents
should be recorded, acceptable to the City Attorney, as to the private
utilities.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Graham, that
the City Council accept the map of the minor subdivision with six conditions
as outlined by the Planning Commission.

Councilman.Gurnee..stated he felt that.. the City Council should look very
closely at.developments--in..the Los Osos Valley with the 604 deficiencies
and hoped.:the Council would face the fact and finalize necessary fire
station.improvements. His main objection was the continued action by
the City in-.not.:following:the General.Plan.as..it_ relates to density and
.he feels - that. the.: City. constantly allows- over.. development %which puts
additional stress and strain on the`City..'s overburdened..utilities..
Councilman.Norris stated he had no objection to any exceptions.except the
lack of development. of- a-..fire station.-at. Madonna. Road to protect the
people -who are= paying_the fire department's bills. He hoped the Council
would face..the issue in the next budget.
Councilman:. Graham ._stated._he. agreed ..with_.the_ comments_Of Councilman Gurnee

Planning Commission, and felt the rezoning provided for an intented transition
in land use.
Councilman Graham said he would support the recommendation of the Planning
Commission due to the density.
Councilman Gurnee asked why no E.I.R. was required on this development due
to the sensitivity of the adjacent property to the rear.
Rob Strong, Director- of Community. Development, stated, that the staff did
not feel there was any danger to environment-by this development even though
the density was being increased.
Councilman Norris asked if this property was subject to flood.

Rob.Strong,.. Director -:of -- Community _Development,.submitted .the.report of the
Planning. Commission :stating.that.the..proposed subdivision map had been
scheduled for.consideration..by the Planning Commission at their meeting
December-16,.1975.. The. - Planning. Commission.action at that meeting was
to deny.. the:. tentative- tract.map-as.proposedv. The Planning-.Commission....
passed a second.motion..encouraging: the applicant to resubmit.a proposal
which-would comply with -City standards_ He then went.into:a.long- disser-
tation_on -the history of this particular development.on..which there are
a number-of commercial-..establishments.presently.under-lease and.explained .
that Mr. Polin.is attempting to legalize:the.leases.by:an:approved:sub-
division. Apparently, this small subdivision's final map has been in
progress.since 1967. The proposed tentative map reviewed by staff, Sub
division Review_-Board and the-.Planning..Commission: was found:to be-unaccept-
.able.for- the.following.reasons:
:....
A. The 1' X 150'..tail on-Lot 2 was-unacceptable because it created a "No
Man's Land" between two existing uses, while.ownership was-.controlled
by:.a third party. The City Engineer advised.the.applicant if such a
strip...were to be used-.for--drainage, it'should be :an easement from Lot
1 or.3, -not a fee: ownership of Parcel 2. The 1' strip.reflects an
error..in suiveying.at:the:time , the.leases of:.McDonald.'.s.:and:.Gulf Oil
were.-described. The.- applicant.does.hot wish..to...correct.�this• because.
it.would..invalidate the lease. descriptions - and.be.sufficient cause to
open.-new lease negotiations:..- ..::.: r:.: _-:
B. Lot 2 as proposed does not comply.�with the minimum lot.size, 6,000 sq.
ft.,-required by the zoning - ordinance, nor ,.required,lot'depth of-90 feet.
The review of the proposal at_.the Planning Commission meeting pointed out
that.since. all of`land.involved in.proposed Parcels.2, 3, 4,..5..is under.
w
a single onership,. -- there - appeared to be. no. reasonable need to. create a..
substandard..parcel.. Staff..also_noted..that..the proposed Parcel-2 was a very
odd- configuration.which..would be very difficult.to_develop;.with necessary
parking ... and.setbacks-while.meeting all.the.City criteria for back -up :space,
turn radii, etc. The Commission concurred with the staff that there was no
apparent:. reasons_ which.would:.justify.a.variance to the ordinance.requirements
and . therefore -.moved- to deny the: application and recommends :that:the,.proposed
Tentative Tract Map No. 581.be denied.
Martin Polin,-.property owner,:wished-to-remind the City.Council- that.the
Planning Commission's-denial-of his subdivision was a by a split vote which
proved.._that there..must have. been.. some .confusion.in.:the.Planning - Commission's
mind as .to .what, was..being presented. by .the, City staff. He ' stated that .he
did.not.know that the February, 1967 Minor Subdivision No. 244 was supposed
to be•recorded_as - nobody -in City Hall told him to do•so...Also, none-of-his
surveyors told him.that: there -were problems with the dimensions on his.map
and he-did not -feel that the City staff had been fair in requiring all of
his .lots.. to-.meet the minimum area :requirements.as...he...felt, that Lot'-2-was
just a.little,below.minimum and.should be.allowed in order to- complete devel-
opment.of his.property. .
The City Council held a long discussion -with Martin Polin'and Rob Strong as
to what was intended and.what really existed on-the map as submitted for
the subdivision. It was.-the consensus of.the.City Council.after :this dis-
.cussion.that. -they would uphold the action of the Planning Commission and
deny the-.subdivision map..
On-motion:..of. Mayor-Schwartz, seconded.. by -.Councilman -Pet terson, that -the City:-Ccc_aG. de
Council.deny the- appeal..of Martin Polin..and.support..the- .action of the
Planning Commission.in denying Minor-Subdivision Map No. 581.

6. The City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of
the Planning Conmis ion to rezone 1130 Orcutt Road from M zone to R -2
zone, rezoning - application 7-0532, Loyal Order of Moose, applicant.

of the Planning Commission to the City Council approving this rezoning on
the basis of:
A. The proposed rezoning is in conformity with the General Plan and staff
proposed revision of the plan; and
B. The proposed rezoning will not have substantial detrimental effects on
the environment.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposed rezoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed..
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the follow-
ing ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 661, an ordinance of the City
Council of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map of the
City of San Luis Obispo to rezone property line of 1130 Orcutt Road.

7. The City Council considered the draft of the revised grading
ordinance which had been continued from the October 22, 1975 and November
10, 1975 Council meetings. Also, a memorandum from the Community
Development-Department with recommended changes and additions to the
proposed grading ordinance and a memorandum from D.F. Romero, Public
Services Director, objecting to some of the proposed amendments to the
proposed grading ordinance.
Ken Bruce, Planning Technician, reviewed for the City Council the
December 1, 1975 draft of the proposed excavation and grading ordinance
of the City of San Luis Obispo section by section.
Rob Strong, Director of Community Development, submitted some additional
changes and corrections to the draft as presented by Mr. Bruce.
Councilman Norris stated that he objected to the City Council considering
this proposed ordinance at this time as it was only this afternoon,
January 5, 1976 that the Community Development Department had even met
and discussed with the Grading and Building Contractor's Association
the revisions to the proposed grading ordinance and he suggested that
a study session should be set up to review the comments of this portion
of the construction industry.
Councilman Petterson agreed with Councilman Norris' comments that it was
the intention of the City Council when the grading ordinance was continued
in October, 1975, that the staff would meet early enough in the procedures
to allow public input from the Building Contractors and Grading Contractors
Association and that waiting today was not fair to this industry or to the
City Council. He, too, would support a study session where this matter
could be thrashed out.

Councilman_Gurnee.stated he -would also -support..a Council Study Session
to.discuss this.ordinance with the effected professionals.
Andrew.Merriam, Architect .representing:.the.Tolosa section of the American
Institute of Architects, also.stated he would like to meet in a study
session..with the Council and to review the provisions of the proposed
ordinance.as -he -felt that.the building - professionals have some basic
differences -.in: provisions .:of.:.the.ordinance.. He .felt. that the. grading
did -not fit-.a.-definitive ordinance..but_is: something that should be:
negotiated..with the.architect, City staff, and -not arbitrarily established.
Mike DeNeve,.Secretary /Manager of the San Luis Obispo County Building
Contractors.Association thanked the City Council for the opportunity of .
_meeting..with the City.staff.this ; afternoon".on the proposed grading ordinance.
_He felt..there.was. still -some areas that needed clarification before the
ordinance was adopted and also agreed with a continued study session.
Jack Foster., General Engineering. Contracto', felt that -there are-still
several.areas.in the proposed ordinance that need clarification. Also,
that the level.of-enforcement of the ordinance should be. defined: ' astring-
ment enforcement could increase-the cost up to $1,000 on residential lots.
He, too, urged additional study.
Mayor. Schwartz continued the matter.-to January 12,.1975 for further study
and input from the industry.
8. Continued public - discussion on.-Resolution No. 2902 -,.a. resolution
of_intention.to. partially abandon portions of Emily and Haskin Streets
continued.from -the December 15, 1975 Council meeting at the request of
adjacent property owners. No one being present to discuss the matter,
it was .continued .for:one month and City Engineer Wayne Peterson to contact
the property owners to appear at the meeting for a decision -on February 2,
1975. '
9. The City.Council. again considered the proposed - McMillan Sewer
Assessment. District.'
Bob Mote,..Utilities Engineer, submitted a.:report to the City..Council
based-on the.Gouncil'- direction..of November 10, 1975 reques.ting.comments
from property-owners..-asking for their_..desires.relative to the..formation
of- a:sanitary. :sewer district..in '-the general McMillan area. He stated
.that the'.City.received answers from 16 of the 27 property owners; of
these 16, nine."parcels..were. opposed to:the- formation of the district
.comprising 67.17% of the.district by area and.7 parcels of 13.57% of
the area of.the district.were in favor of-,the project. Eleven owners
of parcels..did..not . respond:at all.. He stated that.he felt the City
Council at._this.. time- had . three. choices: 1). abandon the project; 2)
recommend_to.proceed with:the:project as proposed overruling the major-
ity protest; or 3) modify the size of the district to eliminate as much
of the protesting area..as.feasible in-an effort'to serve those parcels
...particularly . desirous of obtaining sewer-service. If the Council recommends
proceeding-with.-the-district as.in.2),.then he.recommends that a selection
should be made..as..to. what legal counsel is-to be engaged in the assessment
proceedings:.if_.other than the Wilson, Jones, Morton & Lynch firm or a
selection should be made of which assessment and bonding proceedings were
to be - followed..
Mr. Mote then reviewed with the City..Council the .large scale map showing ,
the.property- owners.who opposed-the development.of a sewer assessment
district -and he submitted three alternative proposals taking in different
areas and alleviating those property owners who were protesting.
Phil McMillan, property owner, stated that he was opposed to being forced
into-.a sewer sanitary.district and protested on behalf of:his family that
they not.be.included. He felt that.the cost was to high for -the benefits
to his property and hoped that the City Council would reject the proposal.

Jack Foster, in support of the proposed district, felt that there was a
need for sewers as the area is slowly developing into business and indus-
trial uses and hoped the Council would not drop consideration completely.
Eleanor McMillan, Orcutt Road, objected to being included in the proposed
sewer assessment district. She did not feel that her property would bene-
fit from the sewer although they would be paying the lions share.
Charles French, McMillan Street - Developer, was supportive of a
smaller district and when the need was greater, urged the Council
to cut the district area down in order to make it work.
A. Volny, McMillan Street - Developer, supportive of the sewer
development in this quadrum of the City. He felt the need was now
as the properties were developing.
Councilman Petterson felt it was the time to start developing sewer
in this area of the City. He felt this area needs sewer service
in order to continue to develop and now is the time to start.
Councilman Graham felt there was a need for a sewer system but felt
that a smaller area should be considered. For example, Scheme C,
the smallest which would serve the needed areas immediately.`_. .
Councilman Gurnee felt that the entire area needed sewer and felt that
the larger the area the more economical it would be but he agreed with
those who did not wish to develop, therefore he would support the for-
mation of a smaller district that could be supported.
Councilman Norris agreed.with the largest district as being the best
for the City but he felt that if it was a mandatory proposal and the
majority opposed, he would not force them in but would support the
formation of a district on the north side of Orcutt Road.
Mayor Schwartz felt he would support the formation of the entire area,
and while he recognizes the hardship in the McMillan proper-
ties, he felt that good .planning required the larger district and, he would
not support a smaller district. He felt that if the Council could not
move the large district along then consideration should be continued for
six months to a year and then reconsidered.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the
City proceed with the formation of the full district with construction
to take place in 1977.

11. Calculations of flow for the creek shall be provided and improvements
made to provide 100 -year storm capacity as required by the City Engineer.
12. City standard curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be provided. Sidewalk

ment of each lot provided that the final map and a covenant for each
lot is notated that sidewalks shall be required by the developer of
individual lots.
13. Lot 2 shall be modified to conform to City standards.
14. Lot 10 of Tract 442 shall be noted on the tentative map.

locations: 1) Sacramento Drive north of Via Estaban and 2) at the bend
in Roberto Court.
The subject tentative map contains the following exceptions to minimum code
requirements as approved by the Planning Commission:
1. Average width of Lot 1 is slightly less than 80 feet, a result of the
tract boundary being at an acute angle to Sacramento Drive.

width is over 80 feet, but being on a street curve, the narrower frontage
