The City Council considered the final passage of Ordinance No. 718, an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map of the City (to rezone property in the Johnson Neighborhood). Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. Terry Sanville again reviewed for the Council's consideration the major contro- versial area in the Johnson Neighborhood with the hillside area at the east end of Andrews Street which had been zoned R -1 in the lower portion of 11 acres and A/C 40 for the balance of the hillside land. He stated that a number of people wished to discuss this again with the City Council. George Clucas, Corralitos Street, stated that he was opposed to any major develop- ment on this hillside area east of Andrews Street on the basis that the hillsides were unstable for buildings, the grade was too steep, etc.. Richard Tietje, Corralitos Street, was also opposed to any development to the rear of Corralitos Street at the end-of Andrews Street due to the steep grades, the unstable soil and the potential for flooding. City Council Minutes September 20, 1977 Page 2 Randle Crookshanks, Conejo Street, also opposed any development to the subject property without input from the adjacent property owners who also had some property rights in this matter when someone was to develop property that was not only unstable but could cause floods.in the future. Jan Clucas, . Corralitos Street, was opposed to this development as she stated the city staff had informed the neighborhood that the area was unstable and the slopes were too steep for development. Steve Nelson, Corralitos Street, property owner of the subject property at the east end of Andrews Street consisting of 62 acres of the city stated that it was his intention to develop a high - class, high- standard subdivision in the property that could be developed.. He felt the Council's action in zoning land A/C 40 made this land undevelopable, therefore the'area that could be developed should be allowed to higher densities than R -1 for economic.reasons. He stated that whatever he did with his land would be done in good taste and would enhance his neighbors property values. After all, he lived on Corralitos Street himself. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed. Terry Sanville stated that before development could occur, the propert owner or developer would have to go through various city agencies at which time public and neighborhood input would be solicited. Some of the areas would be Planning Commission, Subdivision Review Board, Architectural Review.Commission, etc. Councilman.Pettersori stated he would accept-the zoning as previously approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. Councilman Jorgensen stated he was concerned with the potential development of the land.but would. .support the City Council's action.. . Councilman Gurnee agreed with the previous.Councilmen's statements and would support prior Council action. I Councilman Dunin stated he, too, would support the prior Council's action as: recommended by the Planning Commission. Mayor Schwartz said he would support the Council's decision and go along with the recommended rezoning. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the following ordinance was introduced for final passage: Ordinance No. 718 (1977'Serie6), an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map of the City (to rezone property in the Johnson Neighborhood).

The City Council considered the:report from Jenks.& Harrison on Wastewater Reclamation Alternatives defining and evaluating five wastewater alternatives projects for Laguna Lake. John Jenks, consultant, then reviewed the wastewater reclamation alternatives which were an amendment to the project report, clean water grant project No. C061215. He stated that the report was originally on a recommended wastewater treatment disposal plant and reclamation facilities project and that the current report was to identify and define wastewater reclamation:alternatives. He con- tinued that the state and federal mandated waste discharge-requirements for the City of San Luis Obispo were such that the treated wastewater concurrently would meet essentially all of the state standards for reusing wastewater for purposes of irrigation and even unrestricted recreational lake supply. Therefore, he was pleased to provide the.City Council with a summary of study:results defining and evaluating five wastewater .reclamation.alternatives. He wished the:Council to note, with interest, that any of the wastewater reclamation alternatives were shown to be cost effective on the basis of value for the irrigation of local park and the golf course. He urged.the City Council to consider the economic and non - economic advantage of wastewater reclamation associated with each of the five alternatives discussed. It was his belief that.with potential state and federal grants to assist in financing,.the..City of San Luis Obispo stood in the position to embark upon a most notable and progressive program of wastewater reclamation for beneficial reuse. The five alternatives suggested by John Jenks and explained in detail were Alternative l: pipeline to the head of Laguna Lake; Alternative 2: pipeline to outlet of Laguna Lake; Alternative 3: pipeline to Laguna Park and golf course; Alternative 4: pipeline to park, golf course and Laguna Lake; Alter- native 5: pipeline to Laguna Lake Park, and of course there was always Alternative 6, no project at all. He then reviewed Table II, Economic Evaluation of.Alterntaives.for San Luis. Obispo Wastewater Reclamation as follows: Table 2 Economic Evaluation of Alternatives for It is anticipated that Federal and State grants would be available to cover 75% and 12�-2% respectively of the capital. The local-share of capital costs would be 12-�%. In addition to the economic-or comparisons of the alternatives, the consultant studied the non - economic comparisons consistent with the project evaluation pro- cedures of the State Water Resources Control.Board with each alternative considered. The factors to be considered included water quality in Laguna Lake, stream flow in San Luis Creek, energy consumption, recreation, water supply and flexibility. John Jenks concluded that each of the five.proposed alternative wastewater reclamation projects would be cost effective in that benefits exceed cost and would be consistent with community needs as-well as the policies of the State Water Resources Control Board. None of the projects consisted of costs that 1 I 1 San Luis Obispo Wastewater Reclamation Alt. 1 Pipeline to Head of Laguna Lake Alt. 2 Pipeline to Outlet of Laguna Lake Alt. 3 Pipeline to Park and Golf Course Alt. 4 Pipeline.to Park; Golf Course and Laguna Lake Alt. 5 Pipeline to.Park Annual Annual Total - :Irrigation Laguna Lake Alt.

John Jenks concluded that each of the five.proposed alternative wastewater reclamation projects would be cost effective in that benefits exceed cost and would be consistent with community needs as-well as the policies of the State Water Resources Control Board. None of the projects consisted of costs that 1 I 1 City Council Minutes September 20, 1977 Page 5 could not be recovered even if discharge to Laguna Lake were not found to.be cost effective. He stated that, while the summary indicated that Alt. 2 would cost the least, in considering the non - economic factors, Alt. 2 would not be desirable, principally, because of the uncertainty involved with discharge to Lagdna Lake and the-relative inflexibility of the scheme. The next lowest cost alternative, Alt. 5, would provide the least benefit with respect to the quantity of reclaimed water produced for irrigation. Therefore, t although low in cost; Alt.' 5 would also be low in economic benefit. Alt. 1, 3 and 4 were the most expensive potential projects with costs for all three being nearly the same.•..Since Alt. 3 and Alt. were are virtually.the same project, the more flexible of the two, Alt. 4 would-be preferred over Alt. 3. Alt. 1, although somewhat different from Alt. 4, would have similar non — economic effects­as Alt. 4. The exception was that Alt. 1 would'be somewhat less flexible. Alt. 4,"a cost premium over Alt.. 2 and 5 would provide the greatest potential benefit of all the proposed projects, in particular, as the most flexible proposed project, Alt. 4 would be the most likely project to succeed in an uncertain environment. In summary, he stated that each of the proposed alternatives were desirable and cost effective, even if the value of maintaining the water level in Laguna Lake were not considered. Each of the proposed alternatives would supply a reclaimed wastewater for irrigation at a very low cost. Alt. 4, for a relatively small increase in investment over the least cost alternative, appeared to offer the greatest potential benefit at the lowest'potential risk. In the event, that discharged Laguna Lake was not desired, then Alt. 3 would provide the greatest benefit and was the second best alternative. D.F. Romero recommended that the Council adopt Alternative No. 4. Ken Jones, engineer representing the State Water Quality Control Board, stated he was in support of the proposal.to reclaim-sewer effluent for irrigation to a park and golf course and also improve the environment of the lake. Foster Gruber; 1354 Oceanaire Drive, was also in support of'the Wastewater Reclamation Alt. No. 4 as recommended by John Jenks. Paul Hafdahl,.Windsurfer, stated he was in support of any program that would put water in Laguna Lake so that he could get'back into business. Councilman Gurnee agreed that Alt. 4 should be pursued by the city. Councilman Dunin stated he was also in support of Alt. 4 and asked that it be included in the grant application. He questioned the right of adjacent property owners-to use Laguna Lake water if it were reclaimed water from the sewer plant. Councilman P.etterson also was in support of Alt. 4 and urged that it be included in the grant application and that the project be amended accordingly. Councilman Jorgensen supported the Alt. 4, recommended that it be placed in the grant application and the original repbrt.amended although he questioned the effluent's effect on water quality in 'the lake_ and if the project depended on an EIR.' Councilman Jorgensen was informed by D.F. Romero that the EIR had addressed this problem with a very lengthy discussion, but there were still many unknowns until the project was in effect. Mayor Schwartz stated he also supported Alt. 4 as he felt it provided the great- est benefit of all the alternatives. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the City Council accept the report with Alt. 4 and`that the grant application be amended to include this alternative. Motion carried, all ayes. 9. Memorandum from D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, requesting Council consideration of Sewage Treatment Plant modifications. and recommending that the City Council proceed faith- the appliation'for.the.Step II grant. City Council Minutes September 20, 1977 Page 6 D.F. Romero stated that he had received conceptual approval of the project report for the sewage treatment plant modifications which now cleared the way for the city to apply for Phase II funding for preparation of plans.and specifications. Although.he wished the City Council to know that the Phase II .grant would carry a condition which would require the city's service on a.fair and equitable basis to the service area indicated in the project report. The service area included some properties-now lying outside the city limits such as a portion-of the From Ranch, Dalidio property, properties along Tank Farm Road, near the airport, and including Rolling Hills. He continued that the planned expansion allowed for an 1987 city population of 45;882 people and in unincorporated areas service popula- tion of 4,942 people giving the total design population of 50,,824 people. Although the grant would contain a condition calling.for.service in the unincorporated area, he felt there . was very little development pressure at this time other than for service to the airport. Therefore, he did not feel that ' -these conditions would result in.a substantial.hardship to the city. In any vent, he felt the condition would appear to.be a relatively.small price to pay in order to obtain a $3.5 million federal /state grant. He therefore, recommended that the City Council proceed with the application. Richard D. Miller, administrative officer, stated that since current city policy was not to extend utilities without annexation and since recent Council and community decisions had been against large annexations, he would recommend that the Council appeal the provisions for expansion of sewer service area beyond the city's willingness to annex and serve. The risk here was that any substantial delay could cause.the City of San Luis Obispo to miss the current grant cycle. D.F. Romero read the following conditions of certification of the grant: In addition to any standard provisions, the state and the E.P.A. will place the following special condition on the project certification or any grants that might be awarded on this project; 1) The Grantee shall operate its treatment works as a coordinated regional facility providing service on a fair and equitable basis and in accordance ' with.guidelines and regulations of the State Board to the City of San Luis Obispo and its vicinity, specifically including the service area designated in the Grantee's Project Report of January, 1977. John Jenks stated that the plans developed by him by the city had alvays been developed on the basis of including some portions of the county unincorporated area. The.plant expansion was developed on.the basis of the city-population as explained by David Romero for a total population standard of 50,824 people. Ken Jones, State Water Quality Control Board, reviewed the grant conditions for wastewater.treatment plant expansion. He stated that the federal grant guidelines required that the plant must allow sewer hookup for the basin for areas that could be logically served.from the plant. Anyone who asked for-sewer service must pay the city for such service and for facilities on a fair and equitable basis to both inside and outside city residents. Councilman Jorgensen stated that.the decision to expand the wastewater treatment plant was really one of great importance to the future of San Luis Obispo. He felt that the issue was that, if the city accepted federal and state grants, then the city must service areas presently outside the city and over which the city would have no control of land use. Councilman Gurnee stated he was opposed to the requirement that the city provide sewer service to the area outside the city, such as Rolling Hills and the country club development without any control by the city as to the types and quality of development. He felt it was wrong but he would support the appeal on this condi- tion as he felt the sewer plant should be expanded. Councilman Dunin stated that the state could amend their application to include only that area outside.the city but within the urban reserve line rather than go beyond the airport. Councilman Jorgensen continued that due to conditions of outside service, he would.not support the application for federal and state grants. City Council Minutes September 20, 1977 Page 7 Councilman Gurnee felt that the city should apply for the grant and then appeal the condition requiring the city.to serve the area outside the city. He felt that the advantages of the grant outweighed-the problem. Councilman Dunin stated he would support the grant application although he was opposed to the conditions to.serve areas outside the city beyond Council control. Councilman Petterson stated he was'not pleased with the condition imposed by the State Water Quality Control Board but felt that the-ability to acquire a $3.5 million grant to enlarge the sewer plant and to take the water to the Laguna Lake area was too good an opportunity to lose for the citizens of San Luis Obispo. Councilman Jorgensen felt that the state conditions on the grant would accelerate development in the unincorporated area without any control of the development by the city. He would appeal this requirement prior to accepting federal and state grants. Mayor Schwartz stated that the City of San Luis Obispo had known for years that the state was going to require the city, as a condition of a federal state grant, to serve the basin including areas outside the city limits. He felt this was known but the Council worry was that the city would have no control over what development occurred outside the city. The suggestion to amend-the service area to follow the city's urban reserve line would be acceptable to him. On motion of Councilman Jorgensen,-seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the City Council approve the application for the Phase II grant for the treatment plant, modify the project report to 'include Alt. 4, Laguna Lake reclaimed water project, and have John Jenks, consultant amend the service area map to correspond with the urban reserve line. Motion - carried, all ayes. 9:25 p.m. Mayor Schwartz called a recess. 9:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened with all Councilman present. ' 10. The City Council received a proposal from Jenks & Harrison for engineering design services for Phase II as amended of the Wastewater Treatment Plant improvement. D.F. Romero reviewed the conditions of the contract to design the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The proposal was on the basis of cost plus a fixed fee to meet requirements of federal and state grants. Total fee including contingen- cies but excluding the Laguna Lake disposal was' $.188,200, which was less'than the original estimate of several years ago. The engineering design work would be completed within l0 months to comply with the W.O.C.B. time schedule, and would meet all state and federal requirements regarding procedures and-minority hiring. He stated.that the city had had excellent relations with the firm of Jenks & Harrison over a period of more than 35 years and he would recommend that the city approve the contract as submitted. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3414 (1977 Series), a resolution of the Coucil of the City of San Luis. Obispo approving an agreement between the city and Jenks 5 Harrison, Inc., consulting engineers, for Step II of Facilities Planning for Wastewater Treatment and Disposal. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Gurnee, Dunin, Jorgensen, Petterson and Mayor Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None 11. The City Council considered the amended Airport - Utility Extension Agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo (cont'd from 8/1/77 and 9/6/77). Wayne Peterson, city engineer, reviewed with the City Council the results of staff meetings with the County departments dealing with the sewer and water agreement for the County Airport. He then reviewed in detail the provisions of the agreement as amended by the City Council at the. last meeting. City Council Minutes. September 20, 1977 Page 8 Mayor Schwartz suggested that several-amendments be made to the airport utility agreement: -1) under the portion where the city agreed, he recommended that Par- agraph 3 be renumbered 4 and that new Article III read - "Rates - exempt the County from the "Outside" utility rates and charge the same rates that were charged to properties located inside the city limits...Under..that portion of the agreement where the county agreed, he suggested that Paragraph 9.be amended to read - Payments - Pay for water and sewer service in the manner and at the rates specified by the provisions of-the San Luis Obispo..Municipal Code,.Sections .7410, et. seq. and Sections 7500 et. seq., being the so- called "inside `city rate" and resolution of the Council that may be amended from time.to time to implement rates provided for in the Municipal Code.. Terry Sanville suggested that Paragraph I under the County agrees portion where it stated "Operation" where.they agreed to operate.and maintain the-County airport in such a manner as to prohibit the.use.of commercial aircraft.which would generate noise levels higher than allowed in the.approved noise element of the 1975 General Plan. Walt Fell, county-airport manager, felt the conditions of noise level in the General Plan, etc., was equitable if it were dated.as to the..present adopted noise element and would not change each time an amendment was made to the-General Plan's Noise Element. The City Council discussed what future intentions the county would have for development of the county airport property. Mayor Schwartz suggested that the Council adopt the document as a draft and as amended this evening, forward it..to the Supervisors and their staff, and then ask the Supervisors to meet. with the Council to discuss this-agreement and prior intent documents for development of County facilities in the city. On motion of Mayor Schwartz that the City Council adopt the amended sewer and water agreement, forward to the County Board of Supervisors for their consider- ation and ask for a joint meeting with the city to discuss this agreement and the prior statement of intention of county facilities within the City of San Luis Obispo. Motion lost for lack of a second. On-motion-of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, the City Council approve the agreement as amended as a draft and hold for execution until after a meeting between the City Council and the Board of.Supervis_ors on the agreement. Motion carried, all ayes. 12. The City Council again considered the revised Traffic Regulations Ordinance, an ordinance amending the Mmunicipal Code Article III.V, Chapter l.through 17 (cont'd from 9/6/77 meeting at the request of the Citizens' Advisory Committee). The Citizens' Advisory Committee submitted a letter to the City Council stating that the C.A.C. declined to.offer any comments on the proposed amended.Traffic Regulations Ordinances although it was felt that numerous errors and ommissions and redundancies still existed in the document. It.was also felt that suggestions as to changes would be useless at this time. The C.A.C. maintained that detailed difference of opinion between two agencies could best be worked out.at the con- ference table,.not at public hearings of the City Council. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open on the proposed Traffic Ordinance. No one appeared before the City Council to speack for.or against the ordinance. I The Mayor closed the public hearing. On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the following ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 723.(1977.Series), an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending Municipal:Code,Articie'.III.V, Traffic Regulations, Chapters 1 through 17.

(Total.Budget $26,500.00 - Unallocated $4;450.00) Dirk R.. Walters, Chairman of the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo,. appeared before the City Council-appealing the decision of the P.C.C. in denying their request .for $5;000.00. He felt that the Environmental Center performed many functions vital to the city in retaining a good quality of life for its present and future residents and visitors as explained. He stated that the ECOSLO-Office was open to serve not only the citizens of San Luis Obispo but of the County-of San Luis Obispo. He felt that with the amount of money being spent by the .City. Couiicil"in'a budget in excess of over $11 million that $5,000 could be - allocated by the City Council to environmenta. concerns. He also felt that in future budget years,_the City Council should establish a separate - budget item to provide funds.foi' the operation of ECOSLO for studies and activities for protection of the city; its air basin and environs. Glenna Luschei, representing Solo Flight and India, Inc., appeared before the City Council appealing the decision of the Promotional Coordinating Committee in denying their request of $1,000 to sponsor three projects: 1) a mural contest; 2) a writer's conference; and 3) a poetry in schools program. She stated that none of the funds requested from the city would be used to operate City Council Minutes September 20, 1977 Page 10 either Solo Flight or India, Inc. operation and she felt that her group repre- resolution of sented an area of artists in the community who are not supported by the local government. She asked the City Council to again consider their request for $1,000. She also asked if the Council did not do so at this time, would it :be better if.she.r.eappeared before the P.C.C. with a new program. The City Council took the recommended fund applications of the P.C.C. on an item by item, organization by organization basis and by consensus vote either approved or.disapproved the requests as follows: Approved Vote A.
