development seemed appropriate. The Planning Commission had reviewed the
General Plan designation and had recommended that the Plan be changed to
show it as interim agriculture. Therefore, the Planning Commission and staff
recommended .that- the.City Council extend the interim emergency ordinance for
a moratorium for an additional eight months.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, the following
ordinance was introduced and passed as an urgency measure: Ordinance No. III
(1978 Series), an interim ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo extending
urgency'Ordinance No. 729 (1977 Series), declaring a moratorium on the issuance
of building permits for the construction of structures on Bullock Lane property,
for an additional eight month period.
Finally passed and adopted ontthe following roll call vote:

2. Mrs. Barbara Carlson, Deputy Executive Officer for the San Luis Obispo
LAFCO, appeared before the City Council on behalf of LAFCO, notifying the City
Council that they were beginning their Sphere of Influence Program in the County.
She explained that in 1970, the State Legislature directed each LAFCO to establish
a Sphere of Influence for each governmental agency within the County. A Sphere
of Influence isrdefined in the Government Code is "A plan for the probable ulti-
mate physical boundaries and service area of a local governmental agency." Since
1970, many LAFCO's had been unable to respond.to this directive due to a lack of
funding and staff with,which to develop a program. As a result,.recent years had
seen the defeat of several legislative attempts to establishian early deadline
date for completion of Sphere of Influence Programs by.LAFCO's. It was evident
that soon, a mandated completion date would be established by the legislature.
' While LAFCO' had no authority over land use, the type of land use allowed created
the demand for the number and type of services an area of community needed, and
LAFCO was the agency through which the orderly provisions of service were accomplished
It was obvious that consideration must be given to availability of services and
use of their provisions when land uses were allowed or established in general plans.
Presently, the San Luis Obispo County Planning Department was in the.process of
proposing a new Development Code and was developing the land use element of the
County's General Plan. Because of inter - relationships between land use and
services, both LAFCO and the County Board of Supervisors supported the concept
of Sphere of Influence and the land use element being developed somewhat conjunc-
tively. The Lane'Use Element Team had divided the County into fourteen planning
areas and would be establishing City and Community Urban Reserve and Urban Service
Lines. Following a schedule for developing draft reports.for each planning area,
LAFCO's staff would prepare draft reports indicating proposed Spheres of Influence
and spheres of service relating to these planning lines. These would eventually
be adopted with or without revision following public.hearings.before the Local
Agency Formation Commission. She felt it was imperative.that there be close
cooperation and communication between the LAFCO staff and city department heads
and their staff during establishment of the tenative sphere lines. Each of these
policies, capital improvementsprograms and concepts of the city's future area
must be considered. Finally, the Local Agency Formation,Commission, at its
meeting of November 3, 1977, adopted its_policy and - criteria for Spheres of
Influence, a copy of which -had already been transmitted to members of the City
Council.
' Henry Engen,.Community Development Director, followed up the presentation by
Mrs. Carlson on the Spheres of Influence Program being prepared by the County.
He stated that concurrently, _ the County Planning Department was in the process
of finishing'their. draft of an ambitious program entitled "Land Use Element/
Development Code ", which would bring together the State mandated General Plan
and Zoning Consistency Requirements into a single county -wide document. As
part of that effort, each city in the county would have a separate chapter
indicating land use and servicing policies for each particular urban reserve
area. The Sphere of Influence Program and the Land Use Element /Development
Code would be of critical importance to the.pattern of growth within and adja-
cent to the City of San Luis'Obispo. As part of the material submitted to the
City Council.Minutes
February 21; 1978
Page 3
Council by LAFCO, it was noted that_the Spheres of Influence which were adopted
would delineate the ultimate limits -of local agencies as reflected in the General
Plans.of the various cities and the County by.the Urban Reserve Line.. He stated
that LAFCO did not define Urban Reserve Line, but the-city's definition was con-
sistent with that of the County Planning Department with the City's 1977 General
Plan, indicating "The Urban Reserve Limit shall define the maximum envelope or
area reserved for existing immediate and /or potential urban developments in the
planning area consistent with the General Plan and shall be essentially consid-
ered.the Sphere of Influence.of the City of San Luis Obispo." Hence, it became
obvious, it would be important to have consistency between the line delineated
by LAFCO, the County and the City in order to provide a uniform interpretation
of policies with respect to the Urban Reserve Line. The second critical defini-
tion which was common to both LAFCO.and the General Plan process.-is LAFCO's
definition of Urban Service Line as "A line that.delineates the area presently
receiving urban services and /or areas proposed to be provided with urban services
within a 10- year.period as indicated in a local agency's adopted capital improve-
ment program and reflected in the last Land Use Element of the County's General
Plan." The last page of the General Policies and Criteria adopted by LAFCO further
discusses Urban Service Lines which were described as being coterminous with spheres
of service for LAFCO purposes. Importantly, the LAFCO concept defined areas lying
between spheres of service and Spheres of Influence as transition areas. These
transition areas were depicted as being lands which would be utilized for urban
expansion within approximately 10 to 20 years.. This timetable did not correlate
with the specified intention of the City's General Plan.. The City's General Plan
indicated that areas designated for interim agriculture, residential expansion
and rural 'industrial within.the urban reserve should be encouraged to remain in
an agricultural use. The .1977 General Plan also stated firmly that "The City shall
not provide urban services outside the City limits nor, where more restrictive,
outside of the urban reserve limit." However, in that area line between the city
limits and the urban .service lines,.the LAFCO.guidelines would suggest.that.these
areas would be in receipt of services within a 10 year period, which might very
well not be the case in San Luis Obispo. In this regard, it.should be noted that
the city's urban reserve had a population carrying capacity which- exceeded 20 '
year population projections while LAFCO's planning period was keyed to 20 years.
Finally, he concluded that in general terms, the purposes of LAFCO and the
objectives of the city were very much in accord, especially with.respect to
discouraging urban sprawl and encouraging the orderly formation and development
of local government agencies. However, as could often be the case, the specifics
of obtaining such mutually agreed upon results could be the cause of some conflict.
He suggested that the citysshould request LAFCO to make adjustments in..its appli-
cation of definitions to accommodate the grmth- management policies of the city.
Moreover, policy should be eseablished to refer all land use and servicing proposals
lying beyond our urban reserve area, but within our planning area, the upper half
of the San Luis Obispo Creek Watershed, to the city for comment. For this end
they would request the Council to direct staff to work with LAFCO staff to explain
General Plan policies and to advise of points of potential conflict within LAFCO's
Sphere of Influence General Policies and Criteria.
The City Council then discussed with Mrs. Carlson and with Henry Engen the impact
of the County adoption of their General Policies and Criteria for implementing
their scope of Spheres of Influence.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman'Dunin, that the staff be
requested to work with.LAFCO staff to clarify.definitions in LAFCO's documents
and the city's General Plan documents with staff to make reports to the City
Council on the progress of these changes.
Motion carries, all ayes.
3. At this time the City Council again considered the proposed Charter
Amendments to be placed on the June Primary Election for consideration by the
voters of San Luis Obispo.
Allen Grimes, City Attorney, presented three minor typographical errors that
should be corrected and one an interpretive error, so that the documents would
be as correct as adopted by the City.Council on February 14, 1978.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. No one appeared before the
City Council for or against the proposed resolution. Mayor Schwartz declared
the public hearing closed.

5. The City Council considered the appeal of Mel Hahn, dba Ed's Take Out,
for an exception to the provision of Section 1709, Table 5A, of the Uniform
Building Code to allow a building with openings on the property line.
John Kellerman, Chief Building Inspector, explained the problem at Ed's Take
Out remodeling as follows: He stated that at the original discussion of the
plan check for the addition and. remodeling of. Ed's Take. Out, the. .plans presented
did not show the property line separating the property on which the take out was
located and the parking lot property needed for the operation. Subsequent to I
the initial review, the architect for the applicant notified the Department of
the existence of the property line separating the two properties. The architect
was then informed that Section 505, Table 5A of the Building Code required a
fire - resistive wall at the property line and openings in the wall were not per-
mitted when the wall was less than five feet from a property line. In addition,
Section 1709 of the Code required a thirty inch parapet, above the roof, on the
wall parallel to the property line. These requirements were undesirable to the
applicant because.of the design and function of the new operation. In reviewing
this matter with the applicant, Mr.. Kellerman stated that he could ask for an
exception to the Uniform Building Code of the City Council and if the City Council
wished to grant the exception, proper covenants should be prepared to be approved
by the City Attorney and recorded by the property owner stating that at any time
the properties were separated, the openings in the wall would be closed with
fire - resistive material and a parapet would be installed.
Ken McIntyre, Architect for Ed's Take -Out, explained the

On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the .
property owner prepare the necessary documents for a covenant to guarantee the
closure of the building openings and installation of a parapet if and when the
properties were ever divided.
Council also stated that this was not to be construed as a precedent due-to the
conditions existing in the leases.. Motion carried, all ayes.
9:05 p.m. Mayor Schwartz declared a recess. 9:15 p.m. the City.Council reconvened
with a11'Councilmen present.
6. The City Council considered a request from Cal Coast Construction Co.,
for time extension for submission of the Final Tract Map No. 592, now called
"The Meadows" (formerly known as Los Verdes Park Phase III).
Dan Smith, Senior Planner, reviewed the request for time extension with the City
Council stating that the Planning Commission approved the 12 month time extension
subject to the same 29 conditions for the tentative map approval. He continued
that at the Planning Commission hearing, the Public Service Director asked that
an additional condition be added to the tentative map approval which would provide
"The subdivider shall construct a 12' wide, all- weather dust -free maintenance
access road along the top of the creek bank across the entire subdivision and
with the connection to Los Arboles Circle, all to the approval of the.Public
Services Director." He further stated that the Commission did not recommend
this condition be added because they felt the road addition might _have toe
removed, and they felt that - sufficient access.to the creek-was prov_ided._by
Lot 95, which was to be dedicated to the city.
D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, stated that the city's continual
frustration in attempting to obtain access to drainage facilities was very
apparent during the recent storms when city crews found it necessary-to knock
down fences, damage landscaping and threaten to use the police power to require
access from property owners. He felt that the city should tighten up theirf

requirements to force developers to allow.access to the creek in order to.make
bank repairs, remove fallen trees; etc., and this particular.development had a
long frontage along San Luis Creek. He'stated that he had made the same requests
of a.nearby developer at Higuera Street across from the Sewer Plant. He felt that
his review of the plans would not require the removal of.trees; he felt that the
access road could go in between the trees; just so. that there was some access for
equipment without going through private property, fences, etc.
Paul Landell, representing Cal Coast, the developer, stated they were opposed to
the condition as requested by David Romero as he felt that the city had full
access to the.creek on the west side which was owned by the city and access could
be made for the removal of debris. He hoped that the:Council would support the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and not force a-reduction in size or I
location of the lot.
On motion of Councilman.Petterson, seconded by Councilman Settle, that 'the City
Council accept the recommendation of the.Planning Commission; grant a one (1)
year extension for filing of the final map, but not to add condition 930 dealing
with the access road.
Motion lost on'the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Petterson.and Settle -
NOES: Councilmen Dunin, Jorgensen and Mayor Schwartz
ABSENT: None
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the.City
Council hold up approval.of the one year extension for Tract No. 592 and that
the matter of-the access road be referred to the Public Services Director and
the developer to work out some type of access easement to give'city crews access
to the waterway but not necessarily 12'. .Motion carried, all ayes.
7. The City Council considered a communication from Florence Hall, 81 Foothill
Blvd. requesting that the City.Council take action to alleviate the traffic hazard
that existed -in -front -of her -home on .Foothill Blvd,: where- several - automobile
accidents had occurred primarily due to the narrow curved road and the high -speed
of the cars using the street.
_ .... ......
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, stated that he had reviewed-this request of the
Hall's.and there were apparently two problems which motorists.approaching'the
curve at too high:a rate of.speed faced:.
1) The pavement had'a lot.of water running across it during storms; and
2) Pavement was too slick at this point.
He suggested that possibly the city could

R.D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that the problem seemed to be the
motorists entering the city limits at high speeds partly because -of recklessness
and partly because of the fact that no speed limits were posted. He suggested
the City Engineer be directed to contact the county and see whether they would
install a lower ^speed -limit sign at.some.point outside the city. if legally'possi-
ble or if not.at least.install 55 -MPH signs or -some type of warning that urban -
type development lies ahead, including the Baptist Church School. He also agreed
with the suggestions that the city consider chip sealing Foothill Blvd. near the
city limits to improve traction and•to require full drainage.improvements if and

westbound traffic reduced to one lane approximately one block before the curve.
He-did not feel that the curves were dangerous even during rainy periods for
vehicles dtiving within the speed limit. He felt'the problems were- caused by
flagrant violation of traffic laws, primarily speeding. He stated that .these
problems would be mitigated with the annexation and development of property
along these three curves,.thus permitting the city, in cooperation with the
developers to improve this portion of Foothill Blvd. to an adequate standard.
He stated that a chip seal would worsen the traction for several months until
the chips were-firmly set.
Elton-Hall, appeared before the City Council reviewing some of the problems
that he had seen exist in the years that he has lived at what he considered a
very dangerous street.-
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the
Council direct the staff to review the area and take the_ action -they feel
appropriate including the possibility of adding -signs to- improve the situation
both in.and oiit.of the City of San Luis Obispo and continue the evaluation of
conditions regarding traffic, drainage, etc. The City Council considered a
communication from the city engineer recommending ordinance revisions relative
to the loading zone limits in the traffic ordinance: He stated that at the
present time, the. loading zone curb markings required no stopping, standing
and parking at anytime between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. any day except Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays, for any purpose other than loading or unloading of
passenger materials and it was the recommendation of the traffic engineer,
the B.I.A., and other members of the staff, that this limit be changed to 3:00
p.m., at which time anyone could park in that zone with only the two —hour parking
time limits.
Wayne Peterson stated-that all the truckers -that this matter had -been discussed
with were amenable to this amendment except for Smith Transportation out of
Santa Maria which felt that the 3:00 p.m. closing was a little tight for them,
but they could still park in the zone unless it happened to be filled with private
automobiles after 3:00 p.m. standing.
Oa motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, to authorize
the preparation of an ordinance to'meet the recommendations of -the B .'I.A. and
Traffic Engineer. Motion carried, all ayes.
9. At this time Steve Burrell, represeriting " KCB X;Public Radio, appeared
before the City Council reviewing the problem of having most of their property
destroyed by a fire in the Wickenden Building on February 12, 1978, asking that
the City Council consider a grant of $5,000 in order to help get the public
radio station back on the air. They were making requests again of all the citi-
zens in order to keep this well received public service radio station in service.
He reviewed with the City Council some of the accomplishments that had been
performed in the short time that KCBX Public Radio had'been operating in San
Luis Obispo. At the - present time, they were operating in free office space
granted by Warehouse Sound and - Railroad Square property owners, but that the
problem was getting their equipment and the fact that they were'underinsured wcu.
would not cover the total losses experienced by the station.
Councilman Settle stated that he felt that KCBX had been doning an excellent
job and that he would support the request, stating that he felt that they-were
doing a public service for the people in and around the City of San Luis Obispo.
Councilman Jorgensen also agreed that the public service given by KCBX was not
being duplicated by any other station or agency in the community, and that he
would support their request to help them get back on the air to continue their
public service.
Ila Harmon appeared before the
city could support KCBX with c

from the city.
Councilman Settle again.stated

that he felt KCBX performed a public service in

Councilman Dunin stated that he too would support KCBX's request and felt that
they were performing a most valuable service for the community. But, first he
wished to be assured that any contribution made by the City would be legal.
Councilman Petterson stated that he had mixed emotions. He felt that KCBX did
a public service, but first he would want to see just what the insurance covered,
even though it was under insured, and how much it really was going to cost to
get them back on the air, and what their losses, really were (what was involved).
' Councilman Dunin agreed with Councilman Petterson that this matter should be
investigated before any grants were made to the station.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that he felt that KCBX performed a very valuable
public service but first he felt the city should be looking into what effect this
has had on KCBX's operation. He would support a grant subject to a better inven-
tory of what was lost and what the insurance adjustment came up with.
Mayor Schwartz agreed that KCBX deserve support from the public as it was a very
public service oriented agency.
It was moved by Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, that KCBX
get additional information on their losses, source of funds and the legality of
the city contributing public funds to their support.
The matter was continued to either March 7 or 21, 1978 depending upon when this
information was available. Motion carried, all ayes.
