City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.
Page 2
Mayor Schwartz reviewed for the public, the efforts to date by the City
Council in holding study sessions and reviewing the budget on a line -by -line
basis, making some adjustments both upwards and downwards in the recommended
budget.
Richard D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that the total budget was
$12,913,896.00 and was 7% greater than the 1977 -78 budget of $12,065,482.00.
He stated that the budget had been prepared on the assumption that the Jarvis
Bill would pass and, therefore, a naturally conservative approach was made to
the program. The bulk of increase in the operating budget were suggested for
the public safety services (fire and police), for parks and recreation,
and for the water utility. The fire budget would be up $148,453.00 or 12 %,
partly due to increased expenses in connection with the opening of the Fire
Station in Los Osos Valley. The police budget was up 6% due to increased
expenses to man the combined fire and police dispatch center but also due to
heavier than normal requirements for vehicle replacement next year. He
continued that 37 additional positions for city employees were requested and
that he, in consultation with the department heads and Council, had decreased
this to 12 full -time employees. He further stated that one major effect of the
Jarvis Proposition 13 was that the Parks and Recreation funds would have to be
supported with a larger amount from the general fund.
He then reviewed for the City Council, the adjustments (plus and minus) to the
budget that took place during the City Council Study Sessions. A net increase
of $45,180.00, less decreases of $24,020.00 for a net of $21,160.00.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Bert Townsend, Sanitarian - County Health Department, hoped that the City Council
would include at least $1,000.00 in their next year's budget for the City's share
of the county -wide Solid Waste Disposal Program.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
After additional discussion, it was common consent of the Council that $5,000 be
added to the budget for the maintenance and repairs to the Jack House.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the
City Budget be approved subject to arithmetic corrections and final adjustments
for employees salary and finge benefits still under negotiation at this time.
Motion carried, all ayes.
2. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on proposed expenditures
on the 1978 -79 City Budget of federal revenue sharing funds.
R. Muravez, Finance Director, reviewed the revenue sharing portion of the budget
for the City Council, including carry -over funds that were rebudgeted for the
1978 -1979 fiscal year.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Mrs. Rose Barger hoped the City Council would put some money into flood
control efforts in order to protect her property and that of her neighbors
from flood damage as has been happening in the past.
She was informed by the Mayor of the large sums of money placed in the capital
budget and other operating budgets to work on flood control.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the City
Council approved the federal revenue sharing expenditures in the 1978 -79 budget.
Motion carried, all ayes.
3. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to prezone property known as the
"Ferrini Addition" from County A -1 -5 zone to City R -1 PD and A /C -40 (agricultural
conservation zone).

City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.
Page 3
Dan Smith, Senior Planner, reviewed the recommendation of the City Planning
Commission to the City Council referring to the number of items in the adopted
approved EIR for the Ferrini Annexation. He then reviewed in detail, the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission to prezone the property consisting of a total
of 199 acres, 51 acres of which would be developed into a planned development and
the balance to an open space. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended
that the Council approve the prezoning subject to 28 major conditions involving
water, sewer, drainage, streets, soils and geology, grading, open space easements,
park dedication and improvements, fencing and building limitations on specific
lots.
On question, Allen Grimes, City Attorney, reviewed the conditions of the
Municipal Reorganization Act of 1977 dealing with annexations and the steps
that must be taken and also reviewed for the City Council, the ramifications of
the Proposition G Amendment to the City Charter recently adopted by the voters.
He stated that as the process went through the City Government, whichever proced-
ure was accomplished first would take effect. He stated that the Proposition G
Amendment to the Charter must be certified and forwarded to the Secretary of State
and filed at which time the amendment takes effect which would then require an
election for all annexations, but that if the City Council approved the
annexation prior to this time it would apparently be accomplished before
Proposition G were certified. He stated that both items do not rely on one
or the other as they were separate items and should be processed in accordance
with the law.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open..
Phil Johnson, Patricia and Clover, requested clarification of conditions
established for the subject property development, particularly the effect on
the traffic.
Dan Smith read from the EIR, the traffic implications of the proposed develop-
ment.
' Julie Fredericks, neighbor in the residential area, wished to know who put up
the money for the proposed annexations, EIR's and zoning matters, whether it was
the city or the developer..
Mayor Schwartz explained that the property owner in every proposal must pay
for all cost of development. The only city cost would be in checking, review,
and holding meetings as the matter progressed through the government levels.
Jim Coleman, resident, asked for clarification of the drainage mitigation in
the EIR for flood water during storms which occur now from the upstream drainage.
Dan.Smith, Senior Planner, read the drainage and hydrology studies from the approved
EIR explaining how the water would be mitigated.
Robert Neal, 1 -A Highland Drive, supported the prezoning and.annexation as he
felt this was a good development, was needed in the city and felt it should be
approved.
Ila Harmon, Highland Drive, stated she too . was in support of the prezoning and
the annexation as it was needed by the community.
Vic Montgomery, designer for the property owner, reviewed in detail the proposal
now before the City Council explaining that the property owner had begun his
discussion with the City of San Luis Obispo for his development in 1976. In
order to work with the city during the rewrite of the City's General Plan. He
continued thathe has at the direction of the property owner, complied with
every condition of the Planning Commission, city staff, etc. He also reviewed
with the Council, the acceptance of the conditions established by the Planning
Commission for the prezoning ordinance. He stated that 70% of the land area
would be open space and only 30% would be to development.
He urged the City Council to support the project.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.

Councilman Settle stated he felt it was a well- designed, well- thought out plan.
He felt the developer had tried to adjust every city and neighborhood objection
and also recognized the need for housing in the city. Councilman Settle stated
he also felt that the grant of open space for perpetual public use was a new
innovation. He stated he would support the 28 conditions established by the
Planning Commission and would support the prezoning.
Councilman Dunin stated he concurred with Councilman Settle's comments and felt
the open space contribution was an interesting concept. He felt the plan could
be a model for future planned developments in the city. He felt the developer
should help the neighborhood and he would support the prezoning.
Councilman Petterson stated he agreed with the of Councilmen Settle
and Dunin and would support the prezoning.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he felt that this was a well - developed plan and felt
the property owner had done everything possible to meet all objections of the
neighbors and of the EIR. Although he would not support the development, as the
city had not answered the question of water supply for land in the city much
less adding more land through annexation. Although he felt that if any
annexation were qualified, this one was, but he would not vote for prezoning.
Finally, he felt conditions of open space plan must be made permanent.
Mayor Schwartz felt that the planned development had met all the conditions
established by the Planning Commission and he would-.support the prezoning of
the land as recommended.
On motion.of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Dunin, Ordinance No.
759 (1978 Series) was introduced and passed to print: an ordinance of the City
of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map to prezone property known
as the Ferrini Annexation.
Introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Petterson, Dunin, Settle and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: Councilman Jorgensen
ABSENT: None
4. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider a
recommendation of the Planning Commission to prezone property known is the
Foothill Annexation from County A -1 -5 zone to City R -1 Residential, P.F.
Public Facilities and R -1 Planned Development zones.
Dan Smith, Senior Planner, stated that a technical problem had arisen in this
development and in the processing of this application and that it did not comply
as yet with the general plan and he felt the matter should be returned to the
Planning Commission for further action before the City Council held a hearing
on this matter.
The City Council discussed with Dan Smith, Senior Planner, and Henry Engen,
Community Development Director., what the next step would be and it was felt that
the best approach would be to refer the entire matter back to the Planning
Commission for them to complete their action and then return it to the City
Council for their consideration.
5. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the appeal of
Priest, Richmond, Wolfe and Rossi from the decision of the Planning Commission in
denying their request to provide required off - street parking on railroad property
adjacent to 1402 Marsh Street.(a.residence being converted to office use).
Dan Smith, Senior Planner, stated that the Planning Commission on May 17 denied
the request of the property owners to provide required off - street parking on
adjacent railroad property. He stated the City's Zoning Ordinance which permits
required parking space to be provided on a site other than the site they are
serving provided approval was granted by the Planning Commission. The applicants
asked the Planning Commission if they could provide required parking spaces for
a house to be converted to an office on adjacent railroad right -of -way. They

intended to lease the railroad property on a month -to -month lease arrangement.
They also provided a contingency plan for providing on -site parking to the
rear of the house if the lease were terminated. The contingency plan required
a common driveway easement from the adjacent house, the owner of which had
agreed to provide at some time.in the future.
The Planning Commission recommended the denial due to:
1 - Parking in the P -0 zone should be provided on -site whenever
possible. The applicant has demonstrated on -site parking was
available with the removal of a garage structure which was
somewhat useless if the property were to be used for an office.
2 - When off -site parking was provided, it should be secured by long -term
lease to ensure its.continued availability. If several years from
now the lease was terminated it would be very difficult to compel a
future property to raze the structure and provide required parking
plus it is a continual enforcement problem for staff.
The Planning Commission agreed with staff and indicated that they would approve
the railroad property for surplus parking, but would not qualify it as required
parking.
The City Attorney felt that parking secured by a month -to -month lease was
unacceptable under the provisions of the code. Therefore, the Planning
Commission and staff recommended that the Council deny the appeal.
Robert Rossi, property owner, appeared before the Council on behalf of his
appeal to use the railroad right -of -way property in -lieu of required parking
on site. He felt the effect of the month -to -month lease with the railroad
amounted to a permanent lease as there were thousands of similar leases through-
out California with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. He stated that if
' some time in the future for some reason the railroad ceased to operate, that
possibly they could buy the property or by that time the neighbor would be ready to
develop his property and parking would be provided. He stated that the develop-
ment at 1042 Marsh Street would be for his own office and for Mr. John King.
John King, property owner, spoke in support of the appeal
and to comply with required off - street parking. He states
to be remodeled into offices and that the garage would be
materials and things of that nature and that.some time in
destroyed and could be combined with adjacent property to
parking.

Charles Andrews, Planning Commission member, stated that the issue here before
the Council was for policy direction to the Planning Commission by the Council
dealing with normal requirements for conversion of residences to offices in
areas with narrow lots that had recently been rezoned to P -0. The Planning
Commission felt on -site property should be used first for required parking
before going to other areas.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
The City Council discussed with the city staff, the philosophy of converting
residential buildings to higher density uses and whether:they should meet
parking and other city conditions as outlined in the Municipal Code.
Councilman Petterson stated he felt that the City Council should support the
Planning Commission in this matter as this would be the first of many conver-
sions.
Councilman Settle stated he too would support the Planning Commission and staff
recommendation in this matter.
Councilman Dunin also agreed to support the Planning Commission in this particular
matter.
City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.

On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the City
Council deny the appeal and support the Planning Commission and require that
parking be on -site. Motion carried, all ayes.
6. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on a resolution
confirming the assessment of delinquent business license taxes for the calendar
year ending June 30, 1978.
R. Muravez, Finance Director, submitted a list of 24 separate businesses that
had not renewed their business licenses for the period July 1,1977 through
June 30, 1978. He stated that these businesses had been notified numerous times
and that the hearing was to confirm the assessment, including penalties under the
provisions of the Municipal Code. The resolution if adopted after the hearing,
would authorize the City Attorney to proceed for citation and collection of the
tax.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Ed Chaffey, dba Professional Photography, appeared before the City Council
stating that he had not paid his business license as he felt he had not acquired
enough money to even pay the license and he asked that the City Council adjust
the license to the minimum and also allow him time to raise the necessary fees
to pay the license and pay the penalties.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Settle, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3588 (1978 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo confirming the assessment of
delinquent business license taxes and reducing Ed Chaffey's license to the
minimum for his classification.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Petterson, Settle, Jorgensen, Dunin and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
7. At this time the City Council-considered the final passage of Ordinance
No. 756 (1978 Series), an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending
the official zone map to rezone property at 2800 Johnson Avenue from R -1 to
R -1 PD.
Dan Smith, Senior Planner, briefed the conditions and provisions of Ordinance
No. 756 for the City Council's information.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Glen Chapman, Flora Street, appeared before the City Council stating that he
was opposed to the proposed planned development on this property. He felt that
the density was too high for the area and felt it would downgrade the neigh-
borhood and would be the first step to destroying the single - family residential
neighborhood presently existing in this area. He felt that the first break - through
would start with renting of these condominiums and other property owners would
then wish to enhance their property.
Weldon Rohner, Flora Street, was opposed to changing the zoning on the property
as it would allow too high a density in this residential area. He and his
neighbors feared that this was only the first step to destroying the neighborhood
by increasing densities which would include further residences.of this
type which could include future renting of the units to students and other
non - family type residents.
City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.
Page 7
Leon Garrish, 2894 Flora Street, was opposed to allowing an increase of 25%
in the density on this property. He also felt the increased traffic on Johnson
Avenue from this development would be intolerable due to its location for
access to and from the property to Johnson Avenue.
Janet Chapman.,opposed to the rezoning as she felt this development had not
answered the serious drainage problems on this property from above Flora Street.
' Dorothy Rohner was opposed to the planned development R -1 and felt that this
density was too high and that the drainage to the property had not been
properly taken care of which she felt was very dangerous.
Dorothy Scott, Flora Street, also a school bus driver stated she was opposed to
the rezoning due to such a high density of residences which she felt would add
high traffic loads to Johnson Avenue at an extremely dangerous access to the
street.
Gary Sims, 1625 Sydney Street, was opposed to the planned development due to
the potential increase in traffic on Johnson Avenue. He felt the zoning should
be left to R -1 with no planned development as he felt that the planned develop -.
meet was the first step to full rezoning to higher densities of the entire area.
Mrs. Sims, Sydney Street, was opposed to such high density development. She
felt the neighborhood should stay R -1. She also felt Johnson Avenue was too
high a speed at this time and felt the single- family residential pattern should
not be broken.
Clarence Boerboom, 2605 Flora Street, was opposed to the development to high
density as he felt it opened the door to further high density on other vacant
property in the area.
Leonard Blaser, former property owner, supported the rezoning. He.felt that the
proposed PD R -1 would make for good use of a very difficult piece of property.
He felt that there was a need for this type of lifestyle (condominiums in the
area) and felt that the developer had done an excellent job.on the property.
He also reminded the Council and public that when he owned the property, he
had planned to place 24- condominium units on the property which were accepted.
He felt that Lindenthaler had reduced to 18 units which was lowering the density
that he had planned. He felt the Council should approve this planned development.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
City Council then discussed with the staff, various questions of density and
drainage brought up by the public testimony at this evening's meeting.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the
City Council deny the final passage of Ordinance No. 756.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call,vote:
AYES: Councilmen Jorgensen, Petters on, Dunin, Settle and Mayor Schwartz

9. Ms.
Beth Law, Chairperson -
Business Improvement Area, appeared before
the City Council submitting some
proposed time chaiges in the downtown parking
meters.
The B.I.A. felt that in order to improve the parking downtown, that the meters
on Pacific Street should be changed from 2 -hours to 5 -hours between Broad and
Osos Streets and that all meters in the parking lots should be changed from 2 -hrs.
to 3- hours. She stated that a survey of the customers shopping in downtown San
Luis Obispo taken on March 29, 30, 31 and April 1, 2 and 3 showed the following
results:
1,491 people wanted the meters in the parking lots to be 3 -hours
18 people wanted the meters in parking lots to be 2 -hours
She concluded her presentation by stating that the strict enforcement of
2 -hour time limits in the parking lots had resulted in a great increase in
complaints from shoppers who were unable to conduct all their business within
the 2 -hour period. She stated the parking duration desired was reflected in the
Wilbur Smith Downtown Parking Study made by the city which stated "Shopping
and dining trips both park an average of 2.2 hours."
The City Council received letters from Cindy Rzezzewski, Dick Johnston, Korb's I
Trading Post, Betty's Fabrics, Rascos Stores, Leon's Bookstore and Nomadic
Furnishings supporting the position of the B.I.A. to increase parking to 3 -hours
in the parking lots.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, reviewed a letter from David F. Romero, Public
Services Director, dated May 30, 1978, stating that if it was necessary to
change the various parking meters as recommended, that it would cost approxi-
mately $7,500 for parts and require 7 weeks of city labor. It was his opinion
that these changes would result in reduced availability of parking for shoppers
since employees would more easily be able to feed meters with 3 -hour time limits.
Dave Romero objected to the change of 2 -hours in the city parking lots.
The City Council discussed with Ms. Beth Law, the proposal and the cost involved
in constantly changing parking meter equipment within the city. Ms. Law stated
upon questioning, that the B.I.A. would pay up to an unknown amount as the
staff had recommended to help pay the changing costs for the meters to convert
them to the new time limits, but that the B.I.A. had been unable to get a definite
cost of material for this change order as the city staff kept giving them
different figures, but she was sure that the B.I.A. would be able to contribute
something from their meager funds.
Councilman Settle stated that he would support providing parking for downtown.
He would also support the B.I.A. recommendations and hoped the B.I.A. could help
defray some of the cost of conversion.
Councilman Dunin stated that he would support the B.I.A. request in order to
help provide downtown parking for customers, not for employees and employers.
But he felt the B.I.A. must solve this problem.
Councilman Petterson stated that he would oppose changing the time limits
on Pacific Street without notifying the business people involved. He felt that
the downtown businessmen should help eliminate employee and employer parking in
the parking spaces. He did not feel that constantly changing meters was going
to solve the parking problem. He felt that it was just busy work for the B.I.A.
He felt that the B.I.A. must face reality and look at the problems involved in
parking and find some other way of disposing of the matter.
City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.
Page 9
Councilman Jorgensen stated he would accept the B.I.A. recommendation if the
B.I.A. would bear a portion of the cost of conversion: He would not support
changing meters on Pacific Street. He felt that the businessmen must face the
issue on parking and not keep coming to the Council to solve their problems.
Mayor Schwartz agreed with the other Councilmen's comments.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the
' City Council approve the request with the B.I.A. to help pay for the cost of
conversion for the material and with the city to provide labor. Motion carried
with Councilman Petterson voting no.
10. The City Council considered a request from California Cooperage to be
allowed to hook up to the city's water system for private fire protection
services on the new complex being constructed on Sacramento Drive and Industrial
Way in the County of San Luis Obispo.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, submitted the staff report on the
request of California Cooperage. He stated that the company wished to build
a new manufacturing complex in the county adjacent to the city. The project
has been approved by the county with the condition that adequate fire protection
be provided. The owners of the project have asked that the city allow them to
tap into water mains on Sacramento Drive to provide on -site fire flow. The water
would be used only for fire protection. He stated it was the staff's position
that this request was not consistent with the city's general plan, might set
an undesirable precedent and should be denied.
He concluded by stating that the staff felt there were other methods of
providing adequate fire protection to the cooperage without building on -site
tanks or extending city services such as:
1) The cooperage should be allowed access to existing fire hydrant
on the northeast corner of Sacramento Drive and Industrial Way.
This hydrant provides 3,000 GPM which should be adequate for the
proposed use. The project offices and warehouse buildings are
generally within 300 to 350 feet of this hydrant. This is
normally considered adequate protection.
2) The city could allow the applicant to install a fire hydrant
on the south side of Sacramento Drive. This would provide slightly
more convenient service to the project. However, the proposed mill
building would probably remain beyond 350 feet from this new
hydrant.
3) The proposed project should be built of fire - resistant materials.
4) The City Fire Department should agree to provide back -up fire
service to the Cooperage project. Both City Fire Station #2 and
county facilities at the airport are within 4- minute response
time of the project. This is considered adequate fire protection
by the city.
5) Heat and smoke detectors should be installed on -site. An alarm
system with outside alarms should also be installed. The system
should terminate at a central answering service.
R. Rossi, planner - architect for the project, appeared before the Council
1 in an attempt to make them understand the problem of requiring water on -site
to protect the new buildings from fire. He stated that this was a county
requirement but that he felt tanks that.-would have to be placed would be
unsightly on the little hill adjacent to the property and that the hook up
into the city's system would be better aesthetically than the tanks. He
also felt that sometime in the future this property, as other properties in
the adjacent area, would be annexed to the city and that having tanks would
just add cost to the project.
City Council Minutes
June 20, 1978 - 7:00 P.M.
Page 10
John King supported the request of Rob Rossi.for the City to supply water
for fire protection to the Cooperage development. He stated what they
needed was water for the sprinkler systems, not for domestic use.
Richard Minor, Fire Chief, felt that if the building were sprinklered it
would be safe and would help firefighters in case of a fire.
Councilman Settle stated that he agreed with the staff' recommendation as
he felt that the voters had stated they do not wish any new property develop-
ed and annexed to the city or extension of city services outside the city so
that he could not see adding this service at this time.
Councilman Dunin agreed with the comments of Councilman Settle.
Councilman Petterson stated he would support the property owners request
if he would ask for annexation inspite of Proposition G's impact. He felt
the city was going to be surrounded by development approved by the county
and the city must recognize this whether they wished to or not, but he would
not support furnishing water outside of the city contrary to existing city
policy.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he would support the city staff to not extend
utilities outside the city. He felt that this development was inconsistent
with the city's adopted general plan but that had not been approved by the county.
Mayor Schwartz stated that he would support the city staff.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the request
from California Cooperage was denied for the basis presented by the city staff.
Motion carried.
12. On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Petterson,
plans and specifications for Municipal Parking Lots Nos. 1 & 8 (Improvement
Project, City Plan No. B -34) bid estimate including 13% for contingencies

Plans and specifications were approved and the contract was authorized to go
to bid except that each lot would be bid separately. Motion carried.
13. On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen,
plans and specifications for San Luis Obispo Police Department Security
Fencing System, City Plan No. B -36; bid estimate $13,300 including.contin-
gencies was approved and the staff was authorized to go to bid. Motion
carried.
14. On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Settle, the
plans and specifications for Parallel Sewer Lines for Centre Street, Jeffrey
Drive and Cerro Romauldo, City Plan No. B -44; bid estimate $25,065 including
contingencies were approved and the staff was authorized to go to bid. Motion
carried.
15. On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the
