HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/21/1978...City Council - Minutes November 21, 1978 Page 2 He stated that -the.. staff. agreed with-the Planning. Commission's.. determination as the'.staff.-feit. that-the _ Laguna_. Shopping.:Center_ was a. neighborhood facility and.the.designers had.excelled.in site planning and... architecture to respond to the unique.character of -the Laguna neighborhood_and.they felt a drive - through window would increase'..traffic and_promote.a large city .strip.commercial..character which would be inappropriate for the neighborhood. Staff therefore felt the Council should.deny.the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's condition of the use permit -approval.to exclude the drive -. .through window through the 1 applicant's plan. Mayor - Schwartz declared.-the public hearing open. Jay Whisenant, applicant- 's..representative,.discussed with the City Council, the denial by the Planning Commission of the...drive -up window. He stated that on behalf of the developer that there was no difference between a drive -up bank window and fast food drive -up window. He felt that customers would spend the same amount of time at either.a bank or restaurant. He._also felt that a drive -up window would provide handicap people with convenience service. In most cases the people would call - ahead, order their food and then have it delivered as they drove up-:.to the window.. .He said that the company that was planning on being in the shopping center would be a fine asset to the community but that they only operate under or with fast food.type windows. He also felt that.the report by the city staff was misleading as no precedent would be set to allow drive -up windows in all fast food- establishments - because they have.to take into-consid- eration enough.land, access and other..factors must..be taken -into account each time. He felt that this.particular location.lended itself to this type of operation. He concluded his comments by saying that he felt that the reason for denying the drive - through lane was personal preference by various Planning Commissioner members and staff and not based on technical or planning expertise. Phil-Humphrey, representing Cal- Coast Construction,'also spoke in support to allow the drive - through window on:the:..restaurant ' in the center.. He felt this was a logical use of land and would serve the neighborhood. He.stated that without the window.service, the tenant; Wendy's; would not build on the property. Charles.Andrews., Chairperson of the Planning Commission, reviewed again, for the City Council the reasons for the Planning Commission's:action in denying the drive - through window at this location. Hal Bankston, realtor, 1182 Oceanaire Drive, supported the concept of a drive - through window for:.Wendy's in the.taguna.Lake Shopping Center. He felt that many people use the fast food window for'food and the Council should consider their.desires.. Jim.McKenna, Laguna Lake resident, stated that he supported the Planning Commission's denial of-the drive - through window. Mayor Schwartz - declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Petterson stated he would support the appeal and grant the drive- through-window for Wendy's. He felt the - developer should be congratulated on the makeup of the center. Councilman Jorgensen.stated he.would.agree that-the-decision was a personal call. He personally objected to--.the.proliferation . of.fast food outlets in -San Luis Obispo: 'He-felt:that the drive- through window was a poor design. He -would support.the Planning Commission.condition. He felt restaurants should all be t sit down.to:�provide interaction between customers. He would support the Planning Commission for the reasons listed and deny the appeal as he felt the drive - through operation was dependent on aind oriented to automobiles. Councilman-Settle-stated he would- support the appeal:; felt the drive - through window was :the-design--concept of.the center, felt the shopping-center was automobile oriented and:that the drive - through concepts supported this need. Councilman Dunin stated he, too, would support.the appeal, felt the center was .auto- oriented and that Wendy's served a need and felt the Planning Commission decision was based on personal bias and not on fact. He felt the Planning Commission's reasons were spurious. City.:Council.Minutes November 21, 1978 Page 3 Mayor Schwartz stated he would support the Planning Commission, felt the appeal was wrong, felt the Planning - Commission's reasonings::were_good.in denying the drive - through window-and felt the proposal for..a'.window was inappropriate for the development..'He..did not feel the-restaurant-with the window was appropriate in this area.of.the -city. On motion.of.Mayor Schwartz,.seconded by,-Councilman Jorgensen, that.t_he City Council support the Planning Commission and deny the appeal. Motion lost on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilman.Jorgensen and Mayor'Schwartz NOES: Councilmen Dunin, Petterson and Settle ABSENT: None On motion of Councilman Petterson,.seconded..by' Councilman Settle,.the follow- ing resolution was introduced: Resolution No.'3723 (1978 Series)., a.resolution of the Council of the City of'San.Luis'Obispo granting... the appeal-of the developer from a "use - permit condition for a drive -up window at 1350 Madonna Road. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Dunin, Petterson-and Settle NOES: .Councilman._Jorgensen and Mayor Schwartz ABSENT: None 2. The City Council held a public.hearing to consider an appeal by John Ross of an_ Architecural ..Review.Commission.approval -of an...over.- sized'sign at Boo -Boo Records on Monterey Street. .Dan Smith, Senior Planner, presented the action of the Architectural ..Review Board in approving the sign on the.Boo -Book Record building. He stated that the staff felt the mural would certainly not appeal to some members of the community but would be well-received by others. He said the mural was on a .record shop and would appeal to the applicant's clientele.which.was probably the youngest segment of the community... He.said the staff agreed with statements by individual members of the A.R.C. that it was difficult to review as a sign what was generally considered art. Staff.felt that'the sign did respond as a means of-expression for a significant-portion of-the population and they felt .the sign would add variety to the downtown area. He stated that the staff recommended that the City Council deny the appeal, approve the sign mural subject .to...the findings and conditions'.made by the A.R.C. He stated that-.the motion to approve the sign was a resolution adopted to approve the sign- muralTas submitted pending removal of the buglar alarm box and the light fixtures, with any-desired lighting for the mural to be submitted to the staff for approval. The exceptional circumstances were that the upper 3/4 of the sign was a mural of high quality, enhancing the city scape. The motion was approvedon a'3 -3 .vote with one commissioner absent. Thereupon, the A.R.C. considered an additional resolution-approving the .sign -mural for.a two year'period'as- proposed'.with the.review at the end of the two -year period and they felt the exceptional circumstance were that the upper 3/4 of the sign was a mural of high quality enhancing the city scape. This motion was approved..on.a 5 -1 vote, 1--commissioner-absent. George Thacher, City.Attorney, submitted an.opinion.regarding the appeal from the A.R.C. action by John Ross, a local citizen,.who had no business or other relationship with this particular item. The question was whether the City Council -had the right to review actions of the'A.R.C. aside from those appeals brought.by an applicant.aggrieved.by the A.R.C.- He stated it was his opinion that the City Council -had this right but that he though the Council should amend the Municipal Code-to specifically provide for third party appeals or.to deny appeal rights to-all applicants.. ' City..Council.Minutes November 21, 1978 Page 4 John Ross, appellant,..appeared before.the.City Council and reviewed for the Council, the : grounds: -on.which he.based..his.appeal to this sign.. He reviewed sections of the Municipal.Code, dealing with the A.R.C.'s procedures and to the sign ordinance:dealing with the size of signs. He concluded by saying that the history-of the A.R.C. had -not been one of permissiveness. In fact, on the whole, requirements had been quite exacting and detailed to design elements as small as six inch square. Many applicants have exceeded to require- ments which.had. substantial financial impact to their project. With this back- ' ground he felt.it was hard to understand.the.roll over of standards. He believed the.action of the A.R.C., if not reversed or modified, would be-detrimental to the goals of the city's present new sign regulations and emerging pattern of the city scape which had received excellent recognition without exceptions such as the A.R.C.'s decision-on this particular sign. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. Robert Barroughs stated he-was opposed to the sign -and agreed with John Ross' appeal. He felt the sign-was ugly.and he felt the city deserved something better in their downtown area which was:rebuilding itself by its bootstraps. Mr. Jacobs, 1536 Garden Street, also stated he was.opposed to the sign. He felt it was grotesque, ugly and detracted from the downtown scenery. Charles Quinlan presented, on behalf-of Carleton Winslow, member of the A.R.C., a slide.program which he:felt-.justified the.-Boo-Boo Records sign which Carleton Winslow felt was really a•work of art and not a commercial sign. Peg Pinard, Buchon Street,.objected to:the sign, said'it was done in poor. taste and she felt the city downtown area deserved better than the subject sign.. She:felt:this was-the type.of sign that would hurt the quality of the city. Thelma Copeland opposed the sign. She_felt it- detracted from the Monterey Street businesses. The sign was in poor taste' and.detracted.from the spirit of San Luis Obispo. George Pinard, Buchon Street, disapproved.of.the . subject.sign and felt it detracted from the quality'of San Luis Obispo and what people feel for the community. -He felt that this sign was not it.. Ed .Taylor, part owner.of Boo -Boo Records,.spoke in support of the.mural -sign in front of his.store. He felt the sign was not complete and therefore how could anyone make or say things that the sign was not attractive.while it had not been completed. He felt the A.R.C., as a city agency,-should be supported as the made a full study of the sign. He also felt that third parties should not be allowed.to appeal A.R.C. decisions. Jerry-Reiss, A.R.C. member, stated he Voted against the mural -sign at the A.R.C. as he-felt it was inappropriate for San Luis Obispo, did not add`io the quality of the community.and should not be allowed. A few more signs of this type would completely ruin downtown San Luis Obispo. Mayor Schwartz declared the- public hearing-closed. Councilman Settle stated'that..he would-support the appeal-of John Ross. He felt the sign-added nothing to the quality of downtown San Luis Obispo. He continued that it was unclear.to.him.where:this mural was:a sign or a mural and part of the sign or what. He would support the appeal. Councilman-Dunin stated he, too, would-:support the appeal. He felt that this type of sign would detract from the quality-of what people -want an expect of San Luis Obispo. He felt that the A.R.C.- should have clear, legal definitions of murals or signs before.allowing this thing to be painted. He did not feel that the-sign =mural added to the spirit or quality of downtown San Luis Obispo. Councilman Petterson stated he, too, would support the appeal. He would support the murals in their.place, but he felt the.sigti was wrong in this place. He felt it did not fit in the San Luis Obispo downtown area. City Council Minutes November 21,•1978 Page 5 Councilman Jorgensen stated he, too, would support the-appeal-as it applied to-the sign as he.did not feel...the.A:R.C! made:a;proper findings- to-allow the over -sized sign.in.the area of:•the_Sign.Ordinance. He.did not.feel it fit San Luis Obispo. He did•not:feel .the.sign enhanced.the character of the city-.-. Finally,-he did.riot.feel that the A.R.C. had followed .their.criteria for,handling.this:type of--,an issue: Mayor ::Schwartz:agreed.with.his fellow Councilmen'.s.statements.as:he did not feel° the. A: R:C`.- followed. their. own criteria: in: evaluating. this. particular sign.-- He felt-.the painting was a sign and not.a simple.mural or .work. of art. On motion of Councilman Settle,.seconded.by Councilman Petterson, the following resolution was introduced: Resolution-No.-.3722 (1978.Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo granting an appeal from an action of the A.R.C. approving an over -sized sign (Boo -Boo Records). Passed and adopted.on.the following.rol•l.call•.vote: , AYES: Councilmen-Dunin, Jorgensen, Petterson; Settle and Mayor Schwartz NOES: -None ABSENT: None 3. The.City Council held.a public hearng.on:the recommendation of the Planning Commission..to;rezone 2300.Los Osos Valley Road between Auto Park Way and Calle Joaquin from C -2 (tourist - commercial) to CH -PD (service commercial, planned development), Garry Holdgrafter, applicant. _Dan Smith, Senior Planner,.presented the recommendations of the Planning Commission based on the application for a zone change so that the parcel could be developed with auto related uses similar.to the - adjacent properties north of-the parcel. The parcel was presently undeveloped: He stated that the Planni Commission passed a resolution recommending approval of the rezoning by a vote of 5 -1. The rezoning was conditioned on: 1) The property was.-to be used.for the development.of..automobile sales complex or similar of related accessory:-uses only and -that other normally permitted uses allowed on a C -H zoning were prohibited. _ 2) A preliminary development plan.shall.be.submitted within 24 months for city approval. If no-plan were received, a public hearing would auto- matically be set to consider city initiated.rezoning back to its original C -T zone. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing.open. Garry Holdgrafer, applicant, reviewed the.purposes for.his application which was for the development of an.auto.dealership for the Volkswagon agency presently located -in downtown San Luis Obispo. David Farmer, attorney representing adjacent property owners, questioned the City Council rezoning.this property when.there.were lots available, already properly zoned for additional auto uses on Auto Park Way but that the owner had not been-able-.to entice an auto:dealer.or auto related dealer to this area. He asked that the City Council consider rezoning his client's property so that it could be used rather than sit vacant. David-Harmer, Attorney for the property.owner adjacent to the subject property to the east of Calle Joaquin, spoke in opposition to:the proposed rezoning for the auto dealer as his client wished to develop a motel on his property and he felt that an auto dealer•would.be compatible with motel.use due to the daylight noise, pollution from vehicles,.etc. He.felt that this type of operation would hurt his motel. He felt the Council should deny.the application and tell the Volkswagon dealer to.go to Auto Park Way and develop his dealership. He concluded his comments by.saying that his client:had..depended.on the_existing,zoning to protect his investment for motel use and did not.feel that the City Council should remove this-protection by.putting an auto dealership adjacent.to his property. City Council Minutes November 21, 1978 Page 6 Mel Smith,_ property.owner.on Auto..Park Way,.informed the.City Council that he had been unable-to sell-his land to any auto related.operation.. He stated that .due to the location.at.the end of this cul -de -sac that no one wished to develop auto uses., He said.he.did.not object to-the proposed,rezoning for the Volkswagon dealer as he..felt.that..it was the property location for auto dealers but that none were going to be.allowed to go-on Auto Park Way as they were'not interested and the City.had not allowed him to use-the land to other commercial uses. He hoped the City Council would be sympathetic in the future to his dilemna. Jack Hathaway, Volkswagon dealer, stated that his principles, the.Volkswagon Corporation of America, would allow him to-develop on Los Osos Valley Road but that they would not grant permission to-have the dealership on Auto Park Way as he had previously looked.into this with his company. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed. Dan Smith again explained the PD designation.on the land.when it was developed and what could be done. Councilman Petterson stated he was in support of the rezoning, felt it was logical and also.would support the.rezoning of the Mel-Smith-property for other uses. He did not feel that the City could force.auto.dealers onto Auto Park Way. Councilman.Jorgensen stated he,'' too, would support the rezoning as requested. He also felt that the Council had made a mistake in not making auto dealerships and that type of operation non - conforming in.the downtown San Luis Obispo area. Councilman.Settle stated he would support- the..rezoning and.hoped that something could be done to allow Mel Smith to develop his property. Councilman.Dunin stated he, too, would- support the rezoning. He felt it was a ' logical use of the land and was a good development. Mayor Schwartz - stated he would support.the Planning Commission.'s.recommendations, felt they were logical, . a.good development, but he would include the conditions cited by the Planning Commission. . On motion of Councilman Settle,!.seconded . by Councilman Petterson,.the following ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 789 (1978 Series),..an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map (to rezone 2300 Los Osos Valley Road).

On motion of Councilman.Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the matter was - continued to December 5,.1978. Motion carried, all ayes. 10. Memorandum.of Opinion from City Attorney George Thacher regarding - channel improvements-.and-setback requirements at 555 Chorro Street, C. Baring Farmer propert ' The City Attorney.stated that along the easterly length of property at 555 Chorro Street which.abuts Stenner Creek,.the.owner . of.the property, which was- zoned'."P.O- has.proposed the construction_of medical offices. Because the plan called for the buildings to be situated within 20 feet.of the top of the creekbank, the owner made application to the Waterways-Planning Board for approval of the building location. The Waterways Planning Board approved the plans including placement within.20 feet of the top of the creekbank:- As a condition of the approval, the owner had offered to dedicate to..the city, a strip of land along the creek for the possible future construction, a vertical wall.for flood control purposes. At the November 6, 1978 meeting, the City Council had before it, for review, the action of the Waterways Planning Board. During the meeting, questions arose..regarding possible alternative design and placement of the medical offices and.regarding.a requirement, the owner pay for the -cost of construction of the vertical.walls as described above. With respect to the building placement, the.Council desired to explore an alternative setback of 35 feet, a distance which would allow a channel widening, rather than vertical wall construction consisting of the.preliminary determination with the Corps.of Engineers in its creek widening study plans. The questions brought up by the City Council were: 1)_ May the City .require a setback of greater than 20 feet_ from the creek at 555 Chorro Street. The Attorney's opinion was no, not under standards currently applicable to the property._ 2) May the City require the owner to pay the cost of the described vertical wall of construction. The Attorney's opinion was no, not under standards currently applicable to the. property. The City Attorney continued that the authority of a public agency to impose these actions as a condition to issuance.of a development entitlement could be interpreted four ways: City.Council Minutes November 21, 1978 Page 9 1) The condition must be in the scope of the public agencies. authority; 2) It must be:authorized:.by a valid..existiing..ordinance; 3) It must bear.some reasonable.relationship to-the public need created by the development; and 4) It must be capable.of :performance by the developer. In the.particular'case, limitations 1, 3 and 4 present no significant problems. The city's ability to pose either a 35' setback or the requirement.that the developer bear the cost of a vertical.wall construction was restricted by the absence of any valid - ordinance or regulation.applicable to .555 Chorro Street. ' He.also.stated that there was no authority available to the city by way of an adopted plan line for setbacks pursuant to a creek widening plan. While such a plan was being developed for consideration and possible adoption, it remains in the development stages and had no legal effect. If obtaining a use permit were a condition of development in this situation, it was clear that given the proper findings and determinations, the city could require a setback of 35 feet or perhaps require construction of a vertical wall at the owner's expense. Interestingly, 555 Chorro Street, because it abuts a creek and had a demonstrat- able flooding program probably could be.made subject to- special consideration zoning, which in turn would require the obtaining of a use permit prior to ..issuance.of .any.development entitlement. Sometime ago however, the Council chose not to overlay the property with the S designation.. Further, if the application for development were being made in combination with the request . to subdivide.the property, valid - existing city.regulations. could reasonably be- imposed to acquire the Council's desire to- setback or-the payment of the vertical wall construction cost but the application here would carry no request to subdivide and would be an application for a building permit requiring con- formity only with existing zone regulations. After listing-other legal precedents for this type of opinion, the City Attorney concluded that the city had no valid existing authority to exact from the property owner of 555 Chorro-.Street a.requirement that -he develop at least 35 feet from the top of the bank of-the - creek or that he pay for construction of a vertical wall in.the creek for flood control purposes. 1 Rob Strong, consultant for the property owner, spoke.in.support of Dr. Farmer's proposal, to grant the city the land necessary for a future wall if the city, at some time, desired such a'co.nstruction. Dan.Smi.th stated that the City Engineer and the Public.Services Director felt the wall approach was the best for the city in order to handle the water that would flow between the.bridge at Chorro.Street and the bridge. at Broad Street. He.also. felt that the cost benefit showed the wall was the best approach for the city and property owner and he urged that the City Council accept the property owners dedication of land. D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, urged.the Council to accept the property owners' offer.for land as.the wall would not be built for many years. The City Council then held a lengthy discussion with the staff on-the impli- cations of accepting a property owner's offer for an easement and the effect this would have on other properties in.the creek or flood areas. Councilman.Jorgensen stated that as usual the council had made..a mistake in not placing the "S" designation'.on- this - parcel of land.which is .unfair to others who have had the "S" added to their zoning. On motion of.Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the City. Council accept the applicant's offer of dedication of right -of -way permitting future construction of a wall if necessary.

At this.time the City Council considered a final draft of the North Coastal Transit Joint Powers Agreement and 1978/1979 budget to implement the Joint Powers..Agreement. ' Lee Walton, City Administrative Officer,.reviewed for the City Council the Joint Powers Agreement listing some minor differences between the one previously approved and the one before the council this evening stating that basically the differences were very.minor.and that the council did not need to take action as the matter had been previously taken care of.
