COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL Pledge Roll Call Councilmen PRESENT.: Myron Graham, T. Keith Gurnee, Jesse Norris, Steve Petterson and Mayor Kenneth E. Schwartz ABSENT: None City Staff PRESENT: J.H. Fitzpatrick, City Clerk; William Flory, Grants and Special Project Director; D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services; Lee Schlobohm, Fire Chief; Art Shaw, City Attorney; Wayne Peterson, City Engineer 1. The City Council held a.public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission concerning.resource deficiencies (pursuant to provisions of Ordinance 604 -A, Level I) on the following projects: 1) Request for use permit at 1136 Santa Rosa Street to construct a restaurant, Charles'French, applicant. The deficiency was that this project would contribute sewage to a downstream sewer line in Marsh Street between Chorro and Broad Streets which was operating beyond its theoretical-peak flow capacity. The Planning Commission previously ' recommended sewer connection (by pass) along Pacific Street from Chorro to Garden Street should be accomplished by the City immediately. The subject development -proposal should be issued a building permit only if the Council was satisfactorily assured, with advise of legal counsel, that the intercon- nection could be accomplished prior to the proposed occupancy of the building addition. 2) Request for use permit at 2925 McMillan Avenue for warehouse, Rojac Enterprise, applicant. The deficiency was that the project (McMillan Avenue) was mot served by the city sewer system. The Planning Commission recommended that the project, because it would generate very little sewerage, should be allowed to proceed under the following conditions: 1. Septic tank system shall be certified by the County Health Dept. as sufficient to serve the proposed use. 2. The septic tank system shall be constructed in such a manner so as to lend itself most easily convertililee to connection to a future city sewer system in McMillan Avenue as determined by the city. 3. All owners having-any interest-in the subject property shall sign and 'record an agreement to run with the land by which they waive all rights to protest and agree-to participate in a sewer assessment district.' Finally, because McMillan Avenue was not served by a city sewer system, future development.would be subject to Level I 604 -A reporting until a sewer system was established. Each development would be considered with respect to the amount of sewerage which it might generate and thereby may be recommended that certain development not occur and permits be withheld because of limitations of such capability. City Council Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 2 Communication from Tim.Mazzacano, Director of .the Division of Environmental Health for the Public Health Department, notified the City Council that their .department was opposed to further development of septic.tanks and underground leaching systems in the area of McMillan Road. They requested that the City Council only approve development that could be placed on an approved sewage disposal system. On motion of Councilman Norris,, seconded ,.by..Councilman.Graham,..that the City Council accept the recommendation of the-.Planning-Commission-and proceed on that basis. Motion carried, all ayes... 2. The City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission .to rezone 668 and 672 Serrano Drive and 88 through 98 Palomar Drive from R -1 to RD R -1 to construct 18 condominium single family units and five single family lots, Brent Dickens, applicant. Rob Strong, Community Development Director, presented the recommendation of the Planning Commission, Resolution 871 -76, favoring a rezoning for the follow- ing reasons: 1) .The project as submitted did not appear to have substantial adverse impacts upon the environment or neighborhood. 2) The proposed project was a significantly better -means to develop this property than a conventional subdivision: A. Grading is minimized. B: Building coverage is minimized. C. Street area is minimized. D. Maximum open space is retained. 3) The project as proposed complied with ordinance requirements for a planned unit development. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed sub- , division and planned developments'subject to the following conditions: 1) The applicant shall dedicate and.provide full 1/2 street improvements along all frontage on a public street. 2) The applicant shall submit all documents related to the creation of a Home Owners Association to the City Attorney and Department of Community Development for review and approval. All six proposed lots shall be a part of the Home Owners Association. Furthermore, the documents for forma- tion of the Home Owners Association shall clearly indicate the responsibil- ities of the Association for maintenance of all building exteriors, common areas, on -site water and sewer facilities. 3) The area adjacent to the culvert .which enters this project near. Serrano Drive and the channel of the creek which crosses this property, shall be improved to the satisfaction of the Department of Community Development. Anticipated improvements include: a low rock wall near the culvert to direct the flow, low rock walls and bank stabilization in other areas where the channel is poorly defined. 4) The entry driveway shall be realigned in order to preserve the three pepper trees near the bridge. 5) The concrete tank shall be removed. 6) The applicant shall submit a drainage control plan for' review and approval by the Department of Community Development -to indicate drainage control measures along the rear of the lots with frontage along Palomar and in the area of the carports serving Units 13 thru 16. 7) The applicant shall submit a tentative grading plan for review and approval ' by the Department of Community Development prior to approval of the final tract map. - 8)- The developer shall pay a proportional share of the costs for water and sewer facilities existing in Serrano Drive and-Palomar Avenue. 9) Units 11 thru 16 shall be constructed so as to-.have the floor elevation a minimum of 18'inches above existing natural grade. 10) The developer shall post a sign near the traffic island indicating that parking is allowed in designated spaces only and that violators will be towed away. This provision shall be a part of condition 1. The City Clerk presented a letter from Newton H. Anderson, 671.Serrano Drive, opposing the development of this property as he felt it would be hazardous for traffic to enter Serrano Drive where it has been narrowed and.with a view of the street and proposed sidewalk is obstructed. Communication from George Karch, 699 Serrano Drive, protesting an outlet from this tract- .on-Serrano Drive.. He felt it was unsaferto allow this tremendous amount-of-traffic - come through their property. Brent Dickens, architect for-.the developer, spoke in support.of the requested rezoning and approval-of the tentative map. -He felt:the final location of the access was the best that could be devised. He showed other studies for access: 1) Broad to Murray; 2) Serrano to Palomar; and 3) Palomar which he felt were all inferior to the approved access-by the Planning Commission..' Finally, he stated he felt he was bringing in a good plan for the City Council to consider. John King, property.owner;:.spoke in support of-the development and what his plans were within the planned development. - H. Wilson, stated.he was opposed.to the-development due.to. the allowing of heavy traffic to come from the development and onto a narrow city street. He felt this was detrimental to people who had lived:in the area for;many years and that the increase in traffic from the development was dangerous to the residents. He. recommended that a new access be developed and to increase the parking requirements. Jim Sheffen, 650 Serrano Drive, stated he was opposed to the development as he felt that the whole scheme was to get these buildings turned into student housing. He was also opposed that the access was dumping additional cars on- Serrano Drive. Mrs. Keith Houser ,.Palomar= Drive,:stated::she was opposed-'to.-.the-development due to traffic, etc. _ Dr. Gates stated he was..opposed due.to much student housing in the area already, thought it was too high a density for such a small parcel--of land; too much traffic, etc. Fraser Neal;- Serrano Drive; objected-to the increase of traffic on Serrano. He felt .that:aaother_:through_acces §;:Murray or Broad; should:be-.considered.- Mrs. , 740 Murray Street, was opposed to allowing more traffic on Murray and property due to heavy traffic now." She-felt-that-.Serrano residents:should.take care of their own traffic and not push it onto their neighbors. Mayor Schwartz declared.the public hearing closed. Councilman Gurnee stated he would support the development on the basis of density but questioned access to development by way of Serrano which-he felt was too narrow but the Planning Commission, staff and Traffic Committee recommended City Council-Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 3 11) The private.-street shall be improved to standards approved by the Department'of Community Development. 12) The precise development plans shall . be approved by.the ARC prior to the issuance of.any. permits. 13) The existing:-barn shall be removed or improved to meet applicable stand- ards of the Uniform Building Code. 14) Construction on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 shall be subject to review by the ARC. This condition shall appear as a note on the final map and trust deeds. 15) Any subsequent proposal for .phased construction of the 16 attached units would require Planning Commission approval. 16) Applicant shall,submit precise plan for approval by the Planning Commission within one year. Construction shall commence within six months from the date of approval. of the precise plan and shall be pursued in a timely fashion. 17) The applicant.shall provide three-spaces for parking of recreational vehicles. .Parking of recreational vehicles shall be limited to authorized spaces. A screen plan shall be provided for such spaces to be approved as part of the preliminary view by the ARC. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.

Councilman Gurnee stated he would support the development on the basis of density but questioned access to development by way of Serrano which-he felt was too narrow but the Planning Commission, staff and Traffic Committee recommended City Council.Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 4 Serrano so he felt he-would have to go along with their recommendation as they had spent much time studying this matter. He felt the developer's parking plan was more than adequate and would go.along with the-rezoning and also the tenta- tive tract map. He felt the development was immaginative and a well- defined project and he felt with the controls established they would be ansasset tbethe entire neighborhood. Councilman Norris stated that he too would support the development as proposed and felt that he would favor the rezoning but would not approve the tentative map due to-the poor access and lack of adequate.parking.. He felt Serrano access had too many problems. Finally, he stated that the width of the interior streets were too narrow with no curb parking. Councilman Petterson felt the proposal was immaginative,.was a good:.use of land but questioned the poor access to Serrano but felt no alternative had been shown so he would support the rezoning and the tentative map as recommended by the Planning Commission. Councilman Graham stated he would support the proposal, was a good plan, immagin- ative, good use of open space for the amenities. He had hoped that.better access could be acquired for some area other than Serrano and would like to see access to Palomar. Mayor-Schwar.tz felt.this was a good development of a problem property. He felt the interior design was excellent as.was building placement but felt .design for access was not acceptable. He felt that this additional traffic was excessive and detrimental to the neighborhood and residents of the area. He felt that property owners should not only consider the land under development but should also include all the land owned by the.same property owner in order to really help the entire neighborhood. He felt that in this way the access could be made to Palomar Drive. He felt this matter should not be accepted and should be sent back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration of access. Rob Strong stated upon question that.the Planning Commission,-ARC and staff had , exhausted all alternatives for.access to this tract. On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the City Council approve the rezoning but continue the tentative tract map until the Planning Commission had had another opportunity to look at access.

The motion was withdrawn by the maker and second. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman-Petterson, that the matter be continued to Mangy 15; 1976 with staff and developer to study alter- ' natives to Serrano Drive access to condominium�.area and to list advantages and disadvantages to include access to Broad Street, Serrano, Palomar, Luneta, etc. Motion carried on the following-roll -call vote: AYES: Councilmen Gurnee, Petterson, Norris and Mayor Schwartz NOES: Councilman Graham ABSENT: None City Council Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 5 3.

City Council Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 6 Councilman.Gurnee stated he was opposed to.an outright grant.to Poly Royal as he felt a grant was not�the answer but that- .maybe.a distribution. of tickets to the elderly, poor,.etc. to .take part.in this activity might be a better use of public funds.

The City Council .considered.modifications to the.final map of Tract 444, Leonard Blaser, applicant near Los Osos Valley Road and Prefumo Canyon.Road. Rob Strong, Community Development Director, reviewed the Planning Commission action dealing.with the amended final map for Tract No. 444, Leonard Blaser, developer. He stated that on July 5, 1972, the Planning Commission approved a 90 lot conventional single.family subdivision located northwest of Descanso Avenue and Los Osos Valley Road at the foot -of Prefumo Creek:, a portion of the Irish Hills. This tentative map was approved by the.City Council on July 17, 1972 with the stipulation that the Council approve the grading plan prior to any grading permit. The Municipal Code allowed one year time limit in which the final map and related improvement plan must be prepared, approved and recorded. The Council may consider a. one year.extension of time if applied for by the sub- divider prior.to expiration. .'Failure to record'the' final map within one year from the date of tentative map approval would terminate all proceedings unless extended and a new tentative map must be submitted.to enable.subseauent map filings.. Notwithstanding these time limits.in this instance, the city imposed a two year construction moratorium in the Laguna area from November, 1972 to November, 1974 and in the opinion of the City Attorney this action suspended normal procedural time limits.'. It.was further determined that.the city should require an EIR determination on.the_project.before allowing implementation, since this procedure became a prerequisite for discretionary private, as well as public project activities, pursuant to the "Mammoth case ". City Council Minutes March 1, 1976 Page 7 In anticipatioryof " the.end of the.moratorium, the Commission approved a negative declaration on September. 17, 1974-after.reviewing a comprehensive grading and drainage. plan. providing for "terraced" lots and " balanced ".cut. and :fill, derived from the tentative-map configuration superimposed on existin& terrain. The grad- ing plan and EIR - determination were approved by the Council on October 7, 1974. Despite Council's approval..of the final map, related documents such as subdivision ' agreement, security and performance bonds, fees. and other,data were not completed, and the map was-:not recorded. Unfortunately, the city did not specify that the developer must either record -the final map or request extension prior to July 17, 1975, nor did the subdivider diligently pursue completion and recording of the map and agreement or request extension. In January, 1976, as a part of-a adequate specification and notif Mr. Blaser was informed that the recorded prior to March 17, 1976 the Planning Commission and City of time. staff program to rectify past practice of in- ication of tentative map expiration dates, city would consider the map expired unless and would reprocess the final map only if Council-authorized the requested extension He continued that Mr. Blaser had-been cooperative - rather thanlchallengingsthe staff position, presumably-recognizing that both the city and the developer were involved in'uncharted legal territory, and they had now negotiated several mutually agreed upon amendments to the final.map as .follows: 1) --The area show n as Lots l thru 13 and Lot 19 on the tentative map are to be treated as a single parcel on the final map, to be combined with the undeveloped adjoining acreage northwest of Los Osos Valley Road. and Descanso, for possible future development proposals. This change a) -creates a uniform boundary between the terraced.subdivision lots ' and the undeveloped,.rectangular_ acreage adjoining.Los,Osos Valley Road; b) facilitates more appropriate transition to a "site sensitive, planned unit development" of.remaining acreage,;rather than compli- cating mixture of planned unit and conventional.subdivision designs. 2) Reduces the amount.of. terraced- hillside area and .enables internal rather than off -site grading to provide a less abrupt transition between natural and modified land forms. 3) Requires minor street and lot adjustments to avoid_ commitment of.circu- lation pattern extension to adjoining acreage, and eliminates 14 building sites, retaining the lower sloped-area in a natural-appearing undeveloped state. On behalf of the Planning Commission, the'.Community Development.Hirector stated that the Council finally amended the map for Tract No. 444 in related grading and drainage plans to be in substantial conformance with the..previously approved tentative map, and that the Council approved said amended final map and-grading plan be accepted for recordation on or before.March 17; 1976, including all associated agreements, construction plans.and other related documents. In the event,-the final map-was not recorded prior to March-18',-1976, said approval.to expire.and.all subdivision,:proceedings to be-terminated unless a new tentative map was.submitted,.and.subsequently approved.; Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, presented.for - the Council's consideration., the amended subdivision agreement for Tract No. 444 listing the regular and special conditions for.development of,the tract, On motion.of Councilman Gurnee,•seconded.by Councilman.Graham, the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3003 (1976 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approving _a revised final sub- division map_ for Tract No. 444, Cuesta Highlands,.,Leonard Blaser, developer and superseding Resolution No. 2741.
