3. The City Council received a communication from Pacific Telephone
Company regarding their use of the City Hall parking lot as a loading zone.
Councilman Brown excused himself and left the meeting due to a possible
conflict of interest.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, spoke against the request of the phone
company for use of the City parking lot as he felt it was unfair to
employees and visitors doing business with the City if they were not
able to park in the lot due to the use of heavy equipment by the phone
company.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that the damage had been
done earlier when the phone company was allowed to build close to the
City property line. However, the company had been good neighbors and
if the Council wished, the staff could continue to cooperate by allowing
occasional use of visitor spaces. Inconvenience to City employees was
not really an issue becaus they weren't supposed to Dark alongside the
building anyway.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Graham, that
Pacific Telephone Company's request was approved on a ninety -day trial
basis.
Motion carried with Councilman Brown absent.
Councilman Brown returned to the meeting.
4. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone property located at
the southwest corner of Prado Road and South Higuera Street from R -1 AH
to C- H -S.AH as requested by Ron Benzer, developer.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the following recommendation
from the Planning Commission:
1. The subject property is 6.82 acres in area. 1.92 acres is owned
by the City and is located in the southwest corner of the area to
be rezoned. The City portion of the property to be rezoned was
added by the staff in order to allow the Commission to create a
more logical boundary.
2. The present General Plan proposes C -H uses in this general area.
The proposed revision to the General Plan also indicates C -H
uses. The Commission recently approved C -H zoning on a parcel
immediately to the west.
3. The Commission was of the opinion the C -H zoning was appropriate
for this area with the "S" design control designation attached
since this property is near a main artery to the City and adjoins
the creek.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Robert Barrows, 870 Meinecke Street, stated he was neither for nor
against the proposed rezoning, but hoped that the City Council would
protect San Luis Creek through this property.
Mayor Schwartz answered that the "S" classification proposed for this
rezoning would control the design including the creek.
Mavor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, explained the affect of the "S" classi-
fication on the zoning requested and the responsibility of the Planning
Commission under this zoning.
City Council Minutes
July 17, 1972
Page 6
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, urged the City Council to approve the
requested rezoning and allow heavy commercial development in the area
due to the proximity of the sewer plant which he felt would cause less
problem to commercial properties than residential areas downwind from
the plant.
Councilman Gurnee felt the recommended rezoning was premature as there
was a need for R -1 lots in the City.
Councilman Brown felt the requested rezoning was logical and that the
"S" classification would protect the creek.
On motion of Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Blake, the follow-
ing ordinance was introduced. ORDINANCE NO. 556, an ordinance amending
the Official Zone Map of the City of San Luis Obispo.
Passed to print on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Blake, Brown, Graham, Gurnee & Mayor Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
5. At this time the-.City Council held a public hearing on the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to annex property known as
South Higuera Annexation No. 3.
R. D. Younq, Plannino Director, presented the recommendation of the
Planning Commission as follows:
1. The proposed annexation does not contribute to leapfrog or
scattered development.
2. The property will become zoned P, -1 single family residential
upon annexation. R -1 zoning is in accordance with the
existing General Plan and the plan being proposed by the
Planning Commission.
3. The R-1-zoned land within the City limits is substantially
developed or in the planning development stages. The
annexation of the subject property falls within the intent
of the Commission's goals of maintaining a balanced land use.
4. City services are available.
5. The City should annex the land to insure conformance with the
proposed Master Plan and land use patterns.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Alvin Bonetti, applicant, spoke in favor of the requested annexation as
the taxes on his potential subdivision land made it prohibitive to
continue farming and the only way out was to annex the property to the
City and sell it.
Ken Simpson, Reeder Development Company, spoke in favor of the annexation
as his firm planned to develop the 81+ acres as single family dwellings
as they felt there was a need for this type of housing in San Luis Obispo
and they were willing to supply it.
Althea Meissner stated she was opposed to the proposed annexation as
her husband and his brother farmed property adjacent to the Bonetti
property and if this propertu were annexed, the same pressure would be
exerted on their property. She also submitted a letter from her
attorney regarding the road being used for access to their property
through the Bonetti property stating they wished the Council to be
aware that this was a right of the Meissner's and could not be closed
by the developer.

Ruth Wirshup was opposed to the proposed annexation on the basis that
many citizens of the City questioned the need for annexation of more
land at this time. She felt that until the General Plan presently under
study had been completed and the new zoning ordinance and subdivision
ordinance had been completed, the City Council should not do anything
to increase the area of the City. It was also her recommendation that
before further annexations were allowed to the City that a cost - benefit
study be made on each annexation so the affect of the annexation on
existing City services could be analyzed.
Charles Meissner opposed the annexation as he felt more good farm land
was being put under concrete and asphalt. He urged the Council to
protect the operating farmers adjacent to the City as he and his brother
operate their farm successfully.
Robert Barrows, Meinecke Street, urged the City Council to study and
consider how much more land could be served before a severe water crises
developed and then consider annexations on that basis.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained the utility facilities already
available to the land under consideration.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Marvin Dee, Chairman of the Planning Commission, explained to the City
Council some of the considerations given to this annexation by the
Planning Commission in making its decision to recommend this annexation
to the City Council.
The Council discussed with Mr. Dee the possible densities that would be
allowed on this property if it were annexed to the City.
' Councilman Blake felt the issue before the City was whether to annex the
property or not, and the consideration had nothing to do with zoning,
land use or density as this would be handled as a separate item through
public hearings as under the present policy the land would be annexed to
the City as R -1. He was in support of the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
Councilman Brown felt the proposed annexation was logical, utilities were
available, and the Planning Commission had made an excellent analysis
before making a recommendation to the City Council.
Councilman Graham questioned the annexation of good agricultural land for
the development of a subdivision with buildings. He felt that farm land
should be protected even though it was adjacent to a City through some
sort of preserve operation. He also felt this particular annexation was
premature and that he would oppose the annexation at least until the
City had adopted an annexation policy and the new General Plan.
Councilman Gurnee asked if the Planning Commission had received any
input on this proposal from the City School District and asked where the
youngsters from this proposed subdivision would be required to go to
school. He further felt that with the City in the process of preparing
a new General Plan, new zoning ordinance and land use map, and with the
unresolved annexation policy, he would be forced to oppose this annexation.
' He felt that until these studies had been completed with the required
public hearings that no annexation should be allowed.
Mayor Schwartz asked the City Council to consider this annexation, to
keep in mind the proposed development of 43 acres of R -1 land south of
the mobile home park on South Higuera. He wondered what would happen
to the children in this segment of the City where no schools were
available.
Councilman Graham agreed that the school situation was one of the
questions he wished to have answered before the annexation was undertaken.
City Council Minutes
July 17, 1972
Page 3
Councilman Gurnee stated this was one of the reasons he wished no action
taken on the annexation until all studies had been made and the questions
answered.
Councilman B.lake felt that the School District would supply the necessary
facilities when a need for schools was demonstrated. He continued that
the school district had land available on Los Osos Valley Road for
development of an elementary school. He also stated it was wrong for 1
the City to continue to hide behind the fact that a General Plan for the
City was being prepared and that nothing should be done until the pro-
posed plan was developed and adopted by the City.
Councilman Brown added that the opponents to City growth hid behind the
fact that the City was studying an annexation plan and that nothing
should be done until the plan was completed. He did not feel the City
could stand still for a plan that might take years to be accepted.
Councilman Graham felt that good agricultural land was slowly dis-
appearing under building developments and he did not feel the time was
right for annexation.
Councilman Blake felt the owners of this land had finally come to the
point where they could no longer feasibly or economically farm the land
as the pressures of civilization have hurried the need for.this property
to be sold for urban development.
Marvin Dee stated the Planning Commission had considered all matters
discussed by the City Council but that the main element in their
decision was the need for easily developed, economic land for single
family use.
Mayor Schwartz felt the City Council should consider the over -all '
limits of the existing boundaries of the City with an emphasis on land
for which utilities were available for development. He felt the Council
should look into the development and encourage development where
utilities were available without great expense to the City for the
extension of services. He then reviewed the map presented by the
Planning Director showing what undeveloped land was available in the
City, its access to utilities, its topography, etc. He also reviewed
for the Council what parcels of land were presently under hearing
before the Planning Commission for development. On this basis he
continued that he could see why the Planning Commission recommended
that the property under discussion be annexed and sold for single family
residential uses. He concluded that the annexation was not unreasonable
but felt the City Council should try to arrive at some future determin-
ation of how good agricultural land could be protected and how
additional water could be made available to serve the City. He stated
that he would vote in favor of the annexation and in support of the
Planning Commission but he felt this would be the last.annexation to
the City until the water availability question had been adequately
answered.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Brown, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2343, a resolution of the
Council of the City of San Luis OBispo approving the annexation to said
City of territory designated as "South Higuera Street Annexation No. 3 ".
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Blake, Brown and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: Councilmen Graham and Gurnee
ABSENT: None

6. Communication from Pacific Western Mobile Estates, Inc., request-
ing the City Council's feeling on the annexation of property located on
the north side of Los Osos Valley Road between the junior high school and
Foothill Boulevard. They also asked that the matter be continued for
discussion by the Council at the August 7 meeting.
The City Council received a letter from the League of Women Voters
opposing the proposed annexation of land northwest of the junior high
school for purposes of development. Their opposition was based on the
lack of sewerage service and water supply to adequately serve the areas
already in the City. They also felt an environmental impact statement
should be required before this annexation was considered.
The matter was continued to August 7 as requested by Pacific Western
Mobile Estates, Inc.
7. The City Council received a letter from Ryan Outdoor Advertising
requesting an exemption from amortization of their lighted sign structure
on Monterey Street. They based their appeal on the fact that the sign
was repaired in 1969 and was not a new sign which would fir the
amortization schedule.
A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, recommended to the City Council that they
should hold a public hearing on this request.
Councilman Blake reviewed the Council action in granting Ryan Advertising
a permit to repair the sign in 1969, at which time, Ryan agreed that if
they could replace the sign, they would still remove it in July 1972 as
required by oridnance. He urged his fellow Councilmen to follow the
conditions of the prior Council and have the sign taken down in July
1972 as previously agreed to by Ryan.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown, the public
hearing was set for August 7, 1972.
8. The City Council received a communication from Mrs. Helen Bausch
complaining about the lights and noise from the new Sinsheimer Baseball
Park. She stated the lights were a nuisance, they lighted up her entire
property and she urged the City Council to look into the matter to pro-
tect the homeowners surrounding this new facility. She recommended that
the City plant large plants or shrubbery behind the property owners'
fences to protect them from the light and reduce the noise problem.
W. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated this complaint had
been submitted to the Parks and Recreation Commission but to date the
Commission had not met to consider the complaint nor had the Advisory
Committee on Joint Recreational Use of School District Property met on
the complaint.
Paul Neel, 2553 Santa Clara, also objected to the high intensity lights
from the baseball field as they made his home unusable due to the
intrusion of strong light into the house and the excessive noise by
participants at the stadium was annoying. He urged the City Council to
take whatever steps were necessary to grant some relief to his neighbors
' and himself from this intrusion into their privacy.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that the City had plans to
plant trees which would act as a sound and light screen within five years.
However, installing drapes or trees for individual homes could be a
dangerous precedent. If this type of thing were overdone, it could also
discourage other recreational developments such as swimming pools, tennis
courts, etc.
Councilman Graham stated he was in sympathy with the Bausch and Neel
complaints as he felt the lights could be extremely annoying to residents
of the area.
City Council Minutes
July 17, 1972
Page 10
W. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation, suggested that there was not
much that could be done until the landscaping took hold and the trees
grew high enough to shield the residences in the path of the lights. He
felt the problem would continue until the trees were high enough. Another
solution he offered was to limit the number of nights the stadium was
used or even eliminate night baseball completely.
It was the consensus of the City Council that they would wait for a
report from the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Advisory
Committee on the Joint Recreational Use of School District Property.
9. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, presented a report showing that
the majority of the property owners on Serrano Drive did not wish the
installation of curbs and gutters are a condition of paving their
street.
John Ross, Serrano Drive, stated he represented a majority of the
property owners and residents and presented a proposal for the Council's
consideration in the improvement of Serrano Drive:
a. Rebuild Serrano thirty four (34) feet from curb to curb and at
the Forden property make it twenty six (26) feet curb to curb
to protect the trees.
b. No further extension of curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
c. Remove existing sidewalks at property owners' expense.
d. Plant street trees acceptable to the property owners.
e. Where no curb or gutters exist, allow a rural type curb
with some type of color rather than white.
f. Serrano Drive not be considered as a collector street
but kept as a rural or rustic road.
g. Underground all utilities. ,
H. Wilson, 777 Serrano Drive, agreed with John Ross' suggestions and
wished to keep Serrano Drive in its rustic atmosphere.
Stan Forden wished the Council to give special consideration to this
neighborhood and keep Serrano Drive in a rustic type development.
George Carr, 699 Serrano Drive, agreed with his neighbors' desires to
keep Serrano Drive a country lane.
Bill Troutner, 502 Serrano Drive, agreed.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated that Serrano Drive had always been
planned as a thirty -four (34) foot wide street and the only problem was
the degree of narrowing necessary to preserve the eucalyptus trees and
provide for sidewalks in the future.
Councilman Blake felt he would like to see the Council adopt the pro-
posal of John Ross and keep Serrano Drive in a rustic type environment
but he wanted a survey condicted of all property owners to see if they
all felt the same way regarding street improvements. He did not
support action to remove the Forden trees. He concluded if the majority
favored the Ross program, he would suggest the formation of an assess-
ment district to put in all the improvements on Serrano Drive.
Councilman Brown agreed, if the request of the property owners was
I
legal or practical.
Councilman Graham agreed with the request of the property owners to
keep the area in a rural type environment.
Councilman Gurnee concurred with the request of the property owners to
maintain Serrano Drive in its rustic character.
City Council Minutes
July 17, 1972
Page 11
Mayor Schwartz stated while he agreed with the sentiment of the people
to keep the rustic type atmosphere on Serrano Drive, he suggested that
reasonable thought be given on the necessary improvements for the street
but hoped that other methods of improvement would still look to future
development with some provisions made for pedestrian traffic. He felt
the required improvements could be made a design feature and still pro-
„ tect the environment of the area. He also cautioned the Council to
keep in mind the precedent they might be setting by this action.
A. J. Shaw; City Attorney, stated that under the existing code, it was
the responsibility of the Planning Commission to find a need to grant
an exception to the installation of sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated upon questioning, that he could
accept a twenty eight (28) foot wide street if parking were restricted
on one side. If the street were narrower than this, parking should be
restricted on both sides.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Brown, that the
City Council defer action on this request by the property owners in
order for consideration to be given by the City's advisory bodies
regarding exception to normal street requirements and that they meet
with the property owners on Serrano Drive for recommendation to the
City Council.
The Design Review Board and Planning Commission were asked to look
into this matter. Motion carried.
10. Report from the City Engineer regarding the revision to the
CDM Report on master water and sewer plan for San Luis Obispo County
' was continued.
11. The City Council considered the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the tentative map of Tract 444.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the conditions established by

February 28, 1972, did the water consumption exceed normal levels. The
amount of the bill was $104.15.
