City Council Minutes
November 1, 1977 .
Page 2
Dan Smith submitted -the Planning Commission's recommendations stating.that in
preparing the nonconforming sign inventory for the city.it was noted by the.
Planning Commission that the new ordinance..was more restrictive than intended
when applied to shopping .centers.and.smaller.groups.of businesses on one property.
The reason was-because-the ordinance did.not distinguish clearly between the
signing entitlement for the property as an entity and the individual businesses
located on.the.property. For.example: the allowable sign area for the..
Madonna and Foothill - shopping centers.were 200 and 100 sq. ft. respectively.
In each case this was about 1% of the building faces, or less than one -tenth ,
of the sign area for similar business -on separate properties. As a solution,
to this problem;the Planning Commission .prepared an amendment to the ordinance
which would:
1) Provide.a.definition of -a property..or "premises': which would be the.basic
land _unit- entitled. to.a-.cer.tain amount of-signing in each zone district.:
2) Make specific provision to allow individual businesses on a premises.to.
have their own wall signs but limit directory signs and free standing signs
(where they are permitted) to one for each premises.
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council ad opt 'an ordinance
making minor revisions to -the Municipal Code dealing with signs.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. No one appeared before the
City Council for or.-.against the minor revisions to the Sign Ordinance. Mayor
Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Dunin,_theh €o116W' ngng
ordinance..was introduced: Ordinance No. 727..(1977 Series), an ordinance of the
City of San Luis Obispo.amending.the Municipal.Code, Article IX, Chapter 7,
Sections 9701.4, 9704.2, 9704.3- and_9704.4,'of-the Sign Regulations.
Introduced.and.passed to print on the following.roll-call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Dunin, Jorgensen, Petterson, Settle and Mayor - .Schwartz. ,
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
On motion of.Councilman Jorgensen, seconded.by Councilman Settle,.the staff was
directed to develop a policy for the City Council''s consideration for shopping
centers with separate property ownerships. Motion carried.
2. The City Council held a public hearing to consider proposed amendments
to Section 9200.16.2 of the Zoning Regulations Ordinance "Home Occupations ".
Terry Sanville presented the recommendations of the Planning.Commission as
follows: The.Planning Commission reviewed the Home Occupation Regulations
referred.to them by the City.Council. .In'paragraph. "B" of, these regulations
the Council had recommended that Home Occupations required a use permit from
the Board of Adjustments.
The Planning.Commission reaffirmed their original recommendation by supporting
a "self enforcing ". home .occupation.permit..procedure. Permits'-would-be issued
by the Director.of.Community Development and only.in special cases.would aause
permit -from the Board of.Adjustments.be required.
The Planning Commission did not feel that home occupations should require a use
permit.. Compliance with.the 12 performance standards.listed. -in paragraph "C"
of the proposed regulations should. be sufficient -to protect surrounding residential
areas in most cases. Further, they felt that..posting of the property, public
notification, and public hearings.before the Board of Adjustments would cause
unnecessary delays in permit processing and should be avoided.
Therefore,.on.behalf of the Planning Commission,.-he recommended that the City
Council support.the Planning Commission recommended.Home Occupation Regulations.
The staff felt that paragraph "B" of these regulations.'would'give the'Community
Development Director enough- leeway in handling unique or controversial home
occupation applications.

Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. No one appeared before the
City Council for or against the proposed amendments. Mayor Schwartz declared
the public hearing closed.
Under Council discussion, Mayor Schwartz stated that he was somewhat disturbed
with the proposal of the Planning Commission and staff as he felt that under
their proposal there would be no way for residents of the neighborhood to know
what was being proposed for businesses in their residential areas.
' On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Settle, the - following -
ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 728 (1977 Series), an ordinance of
the City of San Luis Obispo amending Municipal Code Article IX, Chapter 2,
Section 9200.16.2, Home Occupations.
Introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Dunin, Petterson, Jorgensen, Settle and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
3. The City Council considered the final passage of Ordinance No. 726,
an ordinance amending the official zone map to rezone property in the College/
Foothill Area.
Terry Sanville, at the request of the City Council, reviewed the areas which
were still under consideration by the Planning Commission and which were not
rezoned in accordance with the General Plan but were left in their present
zoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
' Mrs. Virginia H. Allen, 191 Luneta Drive, appeared before the City Council
submitting a petition signed by 87 persons stating that as property owners
and taxpayers in a long established neighborhood bordering on La Entrada Avenue,
they objected to the possibility and opposed the prospect of having new develop-
ments adjacent to and beyond their present city boundaries. They felt that
the effect of assessed values for improvements of such a development would further
and inordinately increase their own property values which had already risen to
a point beyond their current ability to pay.
The current R -1 zoning would allow up to six units per acre. For this reason
the neighbors would object to even six new units in the neighborhood, but appar-
ently the area under consideration appeared to be 10 or more acres in size and
could, under existing zoning, allow up to 60 new units. In terms of taxes,
view, flood hazard, erosion, increased traffic and increased school bus pick-
ups, such a development would not, as the R -1 description suggests "...protect
the character of.." their "existing neighborhood ". Therefore, on behalf of her
neighbors she requested that the area at the end of Luneta Drive be rezoned to
A/C (Agricultural /Conservation) as previously recommended in the General Plan
and was proposed in the public hearing on 10/11/77. If after due deliberation
the City Council and Planning Commission felt they might allow R -1 zoning to
remain, she recommended the following acceptable action: That the R -1 zoning
be amended to include a combining district designation of "S" classification for
the following reasons:
1) because of the potential of increasing the existing flood hazard and drainage
problems in the immediate neighborhood;
2) potential for increased run -off further downstream, thus overloading recently
reconstructed drainage facilities in Old Garden Creek;
3) hillside slope and scenic considerations;
4) special environmental features as an arroyo tributary to Old Garden Creek.
Mr. Paul Allen, 191 Luneta Drive, appeared before the City Council supporting
the comments made by Mrs. Allen and he also submitted a petition signed by
15 children stating that they were opposed to new houses on the hill. Houses
on the hill would ruin the neighborhood. They felt they would like to continue

using the property to.play rather than have.a. lot of streets with automobiles.
He felt that behalf of the.children,.the Council should give some consideration
to not zoning any more property on the hillside.
Mayor.Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion..of Councilman.-Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, the following
ordinance was introduced.for-final passage :. Ordinan&e.No. 726 (1977 Series), an
ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone trap of the ,
city.to.rezone.property.in.the Foothill /College Area.
Finally passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Dunin, Jorgensen, Petterson, Settle and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
4. Communication from Ms. Judy Levin and Ms. Lauren Hovey, Chairpersons
for the Homecoming.Parade for Cal Poly, requesting that the City Council waive
the payment for two police officers who helped at the parade on October 29, 1977.
They stated.that the.Homecoming.Parade.Committee had.no way of.getting funds to
pay for the-police officers because at thef.time.that the budget was prepared for
the Homecoming Parade, no such funds were available.—
Upon question, Chief.Neuman.stated that.the.actual cost-to bring back-two officers
was-around $78.
The City Clerk answered that this.was an administrative policy of the Police
Department and Administration and was not covered in any ordinance or resolution
charging for police services for safety of parades.
City Attorney-Allen Grimes.stated . that.he felt that-if the City Council wished
to charge individuals and groups.sponsoring..parades for ihe.community; then
they should be adopted either by ordinance or.resolution_so that there would
be some formal procedure rather than just a staff decision on charging for
services..
Chief Neuman spoke in-support of the charges stating that it was.very expensive
to bring back extra policemen to work parades for the public and that if they
didn't charge, this could continue until he had so many people coming back that
it would be prohibitive in.cost..,Furthermore, it -was his impression that the
Council had.directed.the`staff.to'make charges for all.such events other than
the Fiesta Parade.
On.motion.of Councilman Petterson, seconded by.Councilman Dunin, that.the City
Council waive the fees for, the Homecoming Parade..for police services. ,Motion
carried, Councilman Jorgensen voting no.
Administrative Officer Richard D. Miller offered.to work up .a draft.of a policy
covering charges for special.events.and.the Council agreed.this -would be a good
idea..
5. Sally Punches, Chairperson for the Promotional'Coordinating Committee,
recommended the City Council make a grant of $1,000 to the,Associated.Students
(ASI) Cal Poly for the 1978 Poly Royal activities for promotion, advertising
and help-defray the costs of the Queen's appearance.
Paul Curtis, ASI president, appeared before the City Council stating that they ,
would like to appeal the decision.of the P.C.C: and ask'the.City Council to give
them the full $2,500 they asked for.publicity 'of.the 1978 Poly Royal ...They felt
that $1,000.was just not enough for them to do,the job they felt was necessary.
Sally Punches stated.that in addition to the $1,000 recommended grant to the
ASI.for Poly Royal, the.Promotional- Coordinating_Committee was - preparing an ad
to advertise Poly Royal.in the Sunset Magazine, the entire Western United States
Edition'. which cost.would come to.almost.$1,000 when the-ad was placed in the
next spring issue.

Russ Johnson, property owner, stated that he was opposed to any grants of public
funds from the city to Cal Poly for any purposes. He felt that grant of any
tax funds regardless of how collected was wrong for this purpose. He felt that
with a little effort, the youngsters from Cal Poly could raise all the money
they needed through the merchants and business people who benefited from Poly .
Royal and from other activities at the college.
1 Councilman Settle stated he was in support of using promotional funds to support
promotional activities in the city which he felt included Poly Royal and that he
would support the P.C.C.'s recommendation of $1,000 as funds were from bed tax,
not the property tax and that the people who came to town as visitors helped defray
this contribution.
Councilman Dunin stated he would also support the Promotional Coordinating
Committee's recommendation for $1,000 as these promotional funds came from
the business community and he also felt it was an asset to the community when
Poly Royal was taking place.
Councilman Petterson stated he would also support the P.C.C.'s request for
$1,000.
Councilman Jorgensen questioned the need for an expenditure of public funds
for promotional advertising in general, but would support the P.C.C.'s recommend-
ation of $1,000.
Mayor Schwartz stated he, too, was in support of the P.C.C.'s recommendation
of $1,000. He then briefly reviewed the purposes and charges of the Promotional
Coordinating Committee and observed they had more requests for funds than
was allocated to them.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the City
Council accept the recommendation of the P.C.C. and grant $1,000 to Poly Royal
' for 1978 and deny the appeal for extra funds. Motion carried, all ayes.
6. Communication from Robert Brown, fund raising coordinator for the
Mustang Stadium Renovation Fund, requesting that the City Council allocate
$5,000 from the city funds for the Mustang Stadium Renovation Project. He
then reviewed existing conditions at Cal Poly and the football stadium and
stated that in order to continue fielding adequate football teams and exhibitions
for the residents of the area and visitors to the city that the Mustang Stadium
must be renovated. He stated that it would cost from $800,000 to $900,000 to
remove the existing bleachers and to rebuild as planned which would increase the
seating capacity by more than 5,000 people, including pressbox. He said, to
date, the committee supporting the program had raised $250,000. He concluded
by stating that he felt this was a good use of bed tax funds because any time
there was an activity at Cal Poly whether it be football, graduation, Poly Royal,
etc., the local restaurants, bars, and motels all received certain benefits which,
in turn, came back to the city in larger tax returns.
Mr. Walt Crawford stated he was opposed to the City of San Luis Obispo using any
tax funds regardless of source for Cal Poly. He felt that if the City of San
Luis Obispo had so much money that they could afford to build football stadiums
outside the city, then why didn't they reduce the taxes to the local citizens.
Russ Johnson appeared before the City Council and stated he was also opposed to
the use of any city funds to support Cal Poly's stadium renovation. He felt
that the students, student body and merchants who derived the benefit of the
' visitors and the stadium should pay for this improvement.
Vic Buccolla, director of athletics for Cal Poly, appeared before the City
Council urging support of the city of this most worthwhile project.
Charles Delmartini also appeared before the City Council in support of city
funds toward the renovation of Mustang Stadium.
Everett Chandler, dean of students at Cal Poly, was present but did not speak
nor did Joe Harper, coach of the Mustangs.

Allen Grimes urged the City Council to consider very..carefully -and very seriously
before giving any funds to Cal Poly for.such'.a-:program as stadium renovation. He
felt that the City Council must be-very careful-.that some public purpose had been
derived from any 'expenditure' of public funds and:that a.gift.'of public funds was
not being given to -an outside agency:. He.stated that if the Council gave this
money without a definite statement of:public interest or public purpose, the
Council could individually be liable for whatever money was.expended by their
direction.
Councilman Petterson.stated.that, based on the.comments.of City Attorney, he
could not support the request to put any tax money on state property although
he was very sympathic to the need for an adequate stadium and "seating capacity
at the university.
Councilman Jorgensen.-stated he was opposed to any P.C.C. -funds being used for
capital improvements.and-he. agreed .with..Councilman.Petterson that the program
was not appropriate for use of city funds although he-also'-agreed with the need
for a new stadium facility.
Councilman Settle agreed with the prior comments and would oppose the use of.
city funds-on Poly Campus although he would like a legal opinion on whether city
funds could be -used for this purpose as he.felt there was a. real need for addi-
tional seats at Mustang Stadium:
1
Councilman Dunin had no comments.
Mayor Schwartz agreed with the need for stadium improvements but felt that
due to -the possible legal implications in giving.a gift to.this.foundation,.
he would have to oppose any support to Cal Poly.until the legal question was answered.
Sally Punches suggested that possibly the.City.Council.could.grant $1,000 to
the stadium facility which.would only be'used for publicity.purposes and not
for actual capital improvements.
On.motion of -Councilman Dunin; seconded .by.Councilman'Settle,.the matter was
continued to the meeting of November 15, 1977'for -a legal.opinion as to the"
Council's action. Motion carried, Councilmen Jorgensen and Petterson voting no.
7.. 'The City Council considered an amendment to the agreement between the
City of San Luis Obispo and the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers,
providing for an extension.of the 'lease for Salinas Dam and revising.the con -
ditions.
Richard D. Miller, administrative officer, briefed the comments.of the city's
special water consultant Frederick Bold who recommended that'the city approve
this agreement as he felt it would be the.best agreement.that could be developed
at this time. _
Robert Mote, utilities engineer, reviewed some of the basic provisions for the
Council's information.
Dr. Richard Krejsa, supervisor, appeared before the City Council objecting to
the provisions in the amended - agreement which.would_grant to the City of San
Luis Obispo all the safe annual yield of the Salinas Reservoir not used by the
Army. He.stated he spoke on behalf of the residents of Santa Margarita who'
hold a water permit junior to that of the City of San Luis Obispo and he hoped
that the'great metropolis of San Luis Obispo would take pity on this small
community and grant.them some surplus water.
Mayor Schwartz-reminded the Supervisor that many.of' his constituents resided
in the city.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by-Mayor Schwartz, the.following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3445-(1977 Series), a resolution of
the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approving an agreement between the
City and the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, providing_ for extension
of lease for-Salinas Dam and revising various conditions thereof. Motion carried,
all ayes.

8. The City Council considered an interim urgency ordinance declaring
a moratorium on the issuance of building permits for the construction of
structures on the property located at 3270 Bullock Lane located in the City
of San Luis Obispo.
Terry Sanville reviewed the provisions of the urgency ordinance stating that
under state law the city had the right to enact a moratorium on construction
of property in order that the legislative body and Planning Commission would
' have an opportunity to study the proper zoning regulations for the development
of the property.
Councilman Dunin stated that he objected to the consideration of this ordinance
as he felt that it was only a device by city staff and some members of the City
Council to stop any housing development in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. No one appeared before the
City Council for or against the adoption of the ordinance. Mayor Schwartz
declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the following
urgency ordinance was adopted: Ordinance No. 729 (1977 Series), an interim
urgency ordinance declaring a moratorium on the issuance of building permits for
the construction of structures on Bullock Lane in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Jorgensen, Petterson, Settle and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: Councilman Dunin
ABSENT: None
9. The City Council considered the communication from Mrs. Edith J. Russell,
' 531 Ellen Way, asking that the City Council take some action to relieve the noise,
dust and nuisance problems created by the users of the softball field at Santa
Rosa Park. She stated that between the dust caused by the people using the
facility, the noise of the public address system and the participants, it made
it impossible for residents adjacent to the park to sleep or even use their
yards.
D.F. Romero stated he had looked into the complaints of Mr. and Mrs. Russell
and stated that the staff had attempted to do all that was necessary to comply
within their powers. For example: trimming the pine trees adjacent to the
Russell residence to reduce needle problems in their yard, they had installed
no trespassing signs along the entire length of the fence, had ordered replace-
ment screening material to be installed along the third base line in order to
better protect the neighborhood from fly balls, etc. Also, the city crews had
watered the infield heavily every day when there were softball games and they
had attempted to do all possible to protect the adjacent residents. Despite
all the efforts by the department to date, nothing could solve the problem until
the city apparently developed a replacement softball facility with the capability
of handling night games. He continued that during various meetings with the
Russell's, he indicated, on behalf of the city, that he would include a CIP
request for improved fencing along the softball field if he and his neighbors
would agree on an acceptable material and height. The Russell's felt that a
10' high concrete block fence would be their best solution. Mr. Romero stated
that 10' high concrete block fence entailed much expense and preparation and
to do this on both sides of the field, the cost would be in the area of $28,000
and the construction of the wall would severely damage trees and remove all
shrubbery along the existing fence line. It was his recommendation that the
city establish a 10' high fence made of wood which would have less detrimental
effects on the trees and shrubbery, would solve the problem fairly well and
could be put in for a cost of $9,200. He concluded by stating that the city
staff would do anything possible to cooperate with the residents adjacent to
the ballfield.
R.D. Miller, administrative officer, stated that if the Council wished to proceed
on the $9,200 for a wooden fence, then it should be referred to the staff CIP
screening committee to see whether it wished to include this in list of items for
further consideration in next year's CIP.

The City Council then held a lengthy discussion on ways and means of mitigating
the problem to residents adjacent to any recreational facility.
Councilman Dunin suggested that the city should proceed and put the lights at
Sinsheimer Park so when the next softball season started, they would be ready
to play and then they could shut down Santa Rosa Park..
Councilman Petterson suggested that possibly the city should consider improving
Meadow Park softball diamond and then abandon the Santa Rosa softball diamond. ,
After discussion, it was moved by Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman
Settle, that the Council direct the staff to study the financial implications
to complete the Sinsheimer Park softball field for 1978 play, also study a re- design
of the Santa Rosa softball park for day use only and possibly look into the cost
for the development of Meadow Park with a report back to the City Council on all
alternatives by December 6, 1977. Motion carried.
Mayor Schwartz directed the City Clerk to write the Russell's as to the Council's
action on their request.
10. The City Council considered the adoption of an ordinance amending the
Municipal Code by repealing Article VIII, Chapter 7 and adopting a new article
dealing with Swimming Pools and Dock Regulations.
Jack Kellerman, Chief Building Inspector, reviewed for the Council's information,
the provisions changed in the present ordinance by using the legislative draft
and also by reviewing the new proposed ordinance.
There was a long discussion with the Council on the intent of the ordinance,
the interpretation of various words and phrases, etc. After discussion by the
City Council, the proposed ordinance was referred to the city staff for correction
and for numbering and that the City Attorney review the wording for clarification.
11. On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Settle, the ,
plans and specifications for "WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, SLUDGE DIGESTER NO.-1,
REPAIR MIXERS ", City Plan No. B -19, estimated cost including contingencies and
engineering $11,865 were approved and the city staff was authorized to call for
bids. Motion carried.
12. J.H. Fitzpatrick, City Clerk, brought to the Council's attention, that
he had been asked to have the Council clarify the motion made and approved at
the October 18, 1977 Council meeting in appointing members to the Ad Hoc Committee
for Study of Laguna Lake. According to the Clerk's minutes the motion read as
follows:
"On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the city appoint
a nine person committee to an Ad Hoc Committee to study and make recommendations
for a work program for improving and preserving Laguna Lake. Committee members
to be 1) Lee Burkett; 2) Arnold Frank; 3) Foster Gruber; 4) Eric Johnson; 5) George
McGinnis; 6) Ernest Miller; 7) George L. Silva; 8) Donald Smith; and 9) Walter Tryon."
Motion carried, Councilman Jorgensen voting no.
Councilman Dunin stated that the way the minutes were presented by the City
Clerk was the way, as maker of the motion, he intended the motion to be.
Councilman Petterson agreed and stated that was the motion he seconded and
it was not meant to add any one else or any other group to the committee.
Therefore by general consensus, the action taken on October 18, 1977 dealing ,
with the Ad Hoc Committee for Study of Laguna Lake was confirmed.

of citizens regarding creek and drainage ditch improvements in the Highland Drive
area. He stated this was an on -going program that the channel involved was very

C -11 Memorandum.from Robert G. Mote, utilities engineer, forwarding a proposed
contract change order which would authorize the Gulf Seal'Corporation to.incorporate
an inf-lation.feature.into. the floating cover which they would tie installing soon
on Reservoir No. 1.. .This was proposed as an add -on feature by the contractor in
response . to a request included in -the city specification... As far as the Public
