The City Council concurred, all ayes.
3.. At this time George R. Cover and Donald Kanesaki reviewed for the
City Council the results of the financial statement and audit of the 1977/78
fiscal year by their firm of Ernst and Ernst.
Mr. Cover reviewed very briefly various financial statements included in the
audit, and the method used by their firm in analyzing the financial records of
the city. He stated that the examination was made in accordance with the
generally accepted.auditing standards including such tests for the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as they considered necessary in
the circumstance. He stated that the city has not maintained a record of its
fixed assets and accordingly, a statement of general fixed assets required by
generally accepted accounting principles is not included in the financial
statements; nor were detailed records maintained to support the recorded amount
of fixed assets and Whale Rock investments in the enterprise funds nor were
depreciation charges thereon. Because they were unable to satisfy themselves
by appropriate audit tests or by other means as a result of the incomplete
records and because the amount of fixed assets and investments, and depreciation
have a material effect on the financial position and results of the operation
of the enterprise funds, their firm was unable to express an opinion on the
financial statements of the funds. Otherwise, he stated that the financial
statements listed in their audited report, other than the financial statements
of the enterprise funds, present fairly the financial position of the Cityaofon
San-'Luisuftisp6sas-of•June 30, 1978 and the results of the operation of such
funds= then ended, were done in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceeding year.

Mr. Cover then reviewed for the City Council a management letter presented
to the City Council through the Administrative Officer. He stated that in
the course of the examination of the financial statements of.the city, they
have also reviewed the accounting systems,.procedures and internal controls
and also had.-an-opportunity to.observe.some of the practices and to review
management.reports.and statistics. Their general observation of the city's
internal accounting controlls are that they are defined and functioning in
an effective manner. However, they would like to pass several thoughts along
which might-be useful to the various city departments to which they are directed.
He stated the comments were meant as constructive suggestions, but because of
the limited nature of their review, they may not reflect proper evaluation
of all factors necessary for a decision. They feel that if the council and
staff would look at these suggestions which present opportunities for improve-
ment for the city in the form of improving controls, reduction of operating
costs, or increase in operating efficiency, they should be considered.
The City Council thanked Mr. Cover and Mr. Kanesaki for their presentation
and on motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded-by Councilman.Settle, the
City Council accepted the audit.as presented and referred the management
letter to the City Administrative Officer for review and report to the council
in the future. Motion carried.
4. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on Resolution No.
3709, 1978 Series, a resolution of intention to grant a cable television franchise
to the Sonic Cable Television Company.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Roger Larson, Monterey Heights, objected to the granting of a franchise to
the Sonic Cable Company without some arrangement in the franchise for the
handling of grievances by the public. He again referred to a pole which
had been placed on his property by the former cable company without his
permission, but he admitted that it was on the property when he bought the
property to build a home on. He stated that since that time he has no luck
in having the cable company remove the pole and place the lines under ground.
He feels the council should force Sonic Television to remove the pole from
his property.
George Thacher, City Attorney, reviewed Mr. Larson's
Council stating that he had looked into the matter a
some civil relief that Mr. Larson could receive, but
could be done by the City Council to the franchise.
Mr. Larson to contact a private attorney to see what
pole which was there when he purchased the property.

It was the common feeling of the council that they did not have the authority
or even the desire to get involved in Mr. Larson's property problems due to
the lack of prior information on the installation of the pole.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded. by Councilman Dunin, the following
ordinance was introduced and passed to print: Ordinance No. 790, 1978 Series,
an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo granting a franchise for cable
television service within the city to Sonic Cable Television for a period of
15 years.

6. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider four
proposed rezonings of the following properties to conform with the General
Plan:
A. Portion of Nipomo Street between Palm and Monterey Street to rezoned
from R -4 and C -R to P0.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, presented the recommendations of the Planning
Commission on this proposed rezoning. He stated that the Planning Commission
reviewed the rezoning of the area at three separate meetings and that on
November 1, 1978 the commission decided.to retain the existing zoning of the
property which was C -R and R -4 and not to rezone it as recommended by the
city staff. He continued that it was the feeling of the.city staff, as it
has been brought out in various other meetings, that the property should be
zoned to PO designation.
Mayor Schwartz.declared the public hearing open.
Frank Canaan,_owner of the San Luis Welding Supply, stated.he was opposed to
the rezoning of his property to PO as he feels that this classification would
ultimately.put.him.out of business as he.would not be able to enlarge his
operation, nor would he be able.to rebuild if some problem, such as a fire,
put him out of business. He felt that PO was wrong and that it should be
left as it is at the present time. He had no objections to the property
adjacent to him being P0, if that is.what the property owners wanted. They
also wish the City Council to'know that this particular operation has been
located in San Luis Obispo for 50 years at this spot, and he felt that histor-
ically he should be allowed to continue.
Catherine.Helling, 976 Nipomo adjacent to the welding shop, stated she would
like the PO zone in order to develop her property for office uses.
Gene Reis, owner.of Reis Mortuary, - stated he was opposed to the.PO zone as
he would like the zone to stay C -R which..protects his investments on the
property. He stated he has a number of letters on.file over the last four or
five meetings supporting his contention. He said he does have some garage
apartments for apprentices and that if the zoning is changed, he would not
be able to continue with his operation.
Terry.Sanville, Senior Planner, stated that Mr. Reis has no problem because
his operation, including the garage apartments, could be handled through the
PO zone with a use permit. Also, if the mortuary were to be destroyed by
fire.or other calamity, it could be reconstructed.
Mr. Bruce Selkirk, property owner at the corner of Dana and Nipomo Street,
stated he hoped that the City Council in reviewing this would extend the
C -4 zoning across Dana Street along Nipomo to Higuera Street as he plans, with
his neighbor, to develop some commercial stores.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.

Terry Sanville again reviewed the limitations of the proposed zoning to PO
and its effect.on existing nonconforming-buildings in the area. He supported
the zoning'to PO. He noted that it is a basic characteristic of nonconforming
use regulations ultimately eliminate nonconforming uses.
Councilman Settle stated he felt the zoning should represent the long range
use of the property,..not current uses and he would support the PO for both
' the mortuary and the welding shop.
Councilman Dunin stated he too would support the PO for the mortuary, but he
had a reservation for rezoning the welding shop to PO uses. He felt the shop
has been here.for a long time and some council consideration should be given
to the property owner.
Councilman Petterson stated he supported PO for both properties, and felt the
other uses were incompatible with downtown development and growth.
Councilman.Jorgensen stated he supported the PO.zone for both parcels.
Mayor Schwartz stated he too would support the zoning to PO for all properties
as the council must.not consider individual.property.owners but look to the
zoning to the good of the city.
On.motion of Councilman Settle,,seconded by Councilman Patterson, the following
ordinance was introduced: Ordinance NO. 791, an ordinance of the City of San
Luis Obispo amending the official zone map of the city to rezone property at
960, 972, 991 Nipomo Street.
Introduced and passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: .Councilmen Settle, Petterson, Jorgensen and Mayor Schwartz
NOES: Councilman Dunin
ABSENT: None
6B. South end of Brizzolara Street rezoned from R -3 -S to R -1 -S.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, presented the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.which-says that the R -3 -S zoning of the property be retained. He
stated that the commission.could not support R -1 zoning for this area. Their
position was consistent with their.previous.recommendation of the property.
The commissioners also recommended that the General Plan be amended to show
this portion of the Brizzolara Street property as.medium -high density resi-
dential area.
He..continued that the city planning staff .still recommended.that.the property
be zoned to low density residential or R -1 -S zoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Joe Hample, Brizzolara Street, opposed to the City Council's efforts to zone
this property to R -1. He felt.that this was unfair to the property owners who
have paid taxes on the higher density allowed for years and he felt the proposed
development for apartment uses was good for the city. .
Ralph Cheda,.449.Brizzolara Street,.stated he has lived on the land for 60
years. The land had been planned for R -3 and that taxes had been paid for R -3
land and now that it looks like they may be able to develop the property, the.
council wants to make it R -1 which reduces its value immeasurably.
Ace Pearce, resident of Brizzolara Street, urged.the council to leave the
land zone to R -3 uses and not destroy the property by rezoning it.to R -1.
Roger Marshall, developer of the Cheda property, urged the council-to leave
the zone at R -3 as they have .plans ready to go ahead with this development.
He stated that the plans have been ready for two years but they have been
waiting for the city staff and council to properly zone the property for
development. He said the staff has consistently opposed.-not only his devel-
opment, buttwahts the property rezoned to R -1, and now the council has

concurred and wishes.the property zoned -to R -1. He then attempted to explain
what his.proposed development does.to the-land and-how he has corrected and
mitigated.all. staff objections:. Finally,.he_ felt that.the council's proposal
to zone this one lot R -1, was really spot zoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared..the.public.hearing closed.
Councilman_Petterson stated he would support .the._recommended..R- 1 -S.due to the
difficulty in developing.the property. He-felt access,.flooding, noise, etc. '
make this development-untenable.
Councilman Jorgensen also supported the R -1 -S designation_ due to the problems
inherent in the site. He felt the R -3 density was.too high with all the
problems on the site.
Councilman Settle supported the R -1 -S to.conform the land to.the General Plan.
He felt this particular parcel had too many problems and agreed that the R -3
density was too high.
The. council. suggested_ that the City Council might help the .property owner by
zoning the.land to R -2, or allow.the property owner.to come up with a planned
development to help develop the property, but not just destroy it by R -1 zoning.
.Mayor Schwartz stated he supported the R -1 -S designation in order.to conform the
zoning with the General Plan.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen,_.seconded by Councilman Settle, the following
ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 792,..1978 Series,-an ordinance of the
City of San Luis Obispo amending.the.official. zone map of -the city to rezone
property at the south end of Brizzolara Stree between Stenner Creek and
Highway 1019 to R -1 -S:

6C. 1300' Blocks of Higuera and Pacific Street between Johnson and Pepper
from PO to R -2.
Terry Sanville, Senior. Planner, presented.the recommendation of the Planning
Commission in that they are still in support of their previous position
recommending that the subject properties be rezoned from PO to R -2 and they
felt the recommendation was consistent with the General Plan.
He continued that the city staff agreed with.the Planning Commission that the
land should be zoned to.R -2, medium density residential.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Charles French,; representing .:.the..property.owner on.Higuera Street,-asked that.
if the council is determined.to change the zoning from-PO,-he-urged that the
zoning be changed to R 73. He stated that the area consists.of many old homes,
that many of the property owners did not live on the street, and that future
development.would be to office or R -3 uses.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
The City Clerk reported that three property owners, Wilson, Hall and Kay, had
called the city hall as of this date, urging the council to zone the property
to R -2.

6D. Johnson, Mill, Peach and Pepper.Streets from R -3 to R -2.
Terry Sanville, Senior.Planner, stated that the Planning Commission's vote on
the proposed zoning was three to three, which technically means that the
commission recommends that the proposed zoning be denied and that.the R -3 be
retained.- He continued'that if the City Council favored the R- 3.zoning, they
could initiate a General Plan amendment to medium -high density. He stated that
the city staff continued to recommend R =2, minimum- density residential for this
area.
Mayor Schwartz,.declared the public hearing open
Bill Sporleder,..1247 Mill Street, stated that.he.supported.th R -2 designation
the best use of land in the area. He felt this was .a nice residential area and
that there was no need for high density development in the neighborhood. .
Ruth-Jensen, . 1358 Pismo Street, presented a petition signed by.84 residents
_and 29 property owners in..the.area,.urging that the City Council keep the
1300 block of Peach Street.as.an R -3 zone. She warned the City Council that
she would be quite unhappy if the council again changes the zoning.
Earl Messer, 1306 Mill Street, stated -he again appeared before the City Council
opposed to the R -2 proposal. He asked that the property stay R -3 as it has
been for many, many years. .He.continued that 90% of the property owners in
the effected area support the continuation of R -3 zone, not'the staff's recom-
mended R -2 proposal. He felt this was a nice area and that the R -3 had not
disturbed any of the property.
Joyce Chaffin, Mill Street, supported the R -3 zone. She.felt.that prior
council action to zone R -3 was satisfactory.and adequate for the area.
Now the council is going to.R -2 based on the staff's recommendation. She
felt that this property has been zoned to R -3 for over the 20 years which
she has owned the property. She feels-that since the adjacent blocks are
R -3, the whole area should stay at,that zoning classification.
Mike Maino, Mill Street east of Petter Street, supported R -2 zoning for the
entire neighborhood. He is opposed to-the-R-3 as the city does not enforce
.parking restriction on R- 3.type developments and he felt that this would be
a major problem in the area if they allowed higher density.
Elizabeth Zevelly asked the council to zone the entire area to R -2 and conform
the zoning to'.the General Plan.
Margaret Brown, 1330 Mill Street, supported.the zoning to R -3 to protect the.
land values and to improve the neighborhood, and to allow fair returns on the
property owners investments.
Pacey Denzie, 1340 Peach Street,.supported developments in the area to stay
R= 3;tfelt -that the city does not understand the.neighborhood's desire to stay
R -3.

Charles Storni, 777 Johnson Avenue, stated-he was in.support of the R -3 zoning.
He.felt the.neighborhood wanted the zoning to R -3 and as people make up the
neighborhood,.not the city, the.zoning.classification. should be left to R -3.
Mayor.Schwartz declared-the public hearing closed.
Councilman Petterson.stated he supported the R -2 recommendation and supported
the staff's reasoning-for the.proposed zoning.
Councilman-Jorgensen stated he.also supported.the..R- 2,recommendation, felt
the area should be developed to medium density in order to protect this fine
neighborhood.
Councilman.Settle stated he would support R -3 zoning as requested by the
property owners in the neighborhood. He felt the R 73 has sufficient control
on density and would not encourage large, high rise apartments.
Councilman Dunin stated he too would support the R -3 zone and the neighborhood's
request for this classification as he.felt people are more important to a city
than the planning professionals opinions on zoning.
Mayor.Schwartz felt.the issue was not one of individual property owners versus
the city, but what the city council felt was proper density for -the entire
neighborhood. He would support the R -2 zoning for the area and for the city.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen,_ seconded by.Councilman Petterson,.the
following ordinance was introduced:..Ordinances No. 794, 1978_series, an ordin-

Henry Engen,.. Community.Development.Director, again.reviewed..the proposed
development and the.conditions that-were objected..to.by the.property owner
which was full.street_improvements.(curb, gutter-..and.-sidewalk) shall be completed
on the.Francis Street Frontage of the.subdivision and..that street paving could
be.provided.by existing street paving to the new curb face.
Mike Maino, representing.the.developer, objected to-the conditions to improve
Francis Street..which...he felt..would not-be used. He stated he was-only
.moving along with this proposal to-clear up-some of the old parcels on the
Pacific Coast Railroad right -of -way which were adjacent to.these lots. He
felt that by adding these small parcels of.the. old railroad right -of -way to
the land, it would be a cleaner and better development for:the property
owners involved. He felt that by putting in the street improvements as requested
by the planning staff, it would make the project more expensive than the lots
were worth. He also stated that if these were required, -he would not proceed
with the development due to the cost involved. _
D.F. Romero, Public Services.Director, asked that the City Council-add condi-
tion 6 to the resolution which had been agreed to by the developer which was
a note to be placed on the final map showing-the existing-.city sewer easement
within the Pacific Coast Railroad right -of -way.
Mike Maino stated they. had. no ..objection.to..this.condition.

owner installs curb, gutter and sidewalk. .Mr. Walton.continued that historically
each developer has installed the entire..street system within his development,
but under past policy the city has assisted-in development by widening existing
streets to new curbs using the same type of paving-as already existed in the
center of-the street._..This.policy is not.only costly to the_"city and completely
out.of the city..'s.control, but also perpetuates streets.which were not paved
to.city standards.
Mr. Walton. continued.-that. -the reason this is-before the. City Council is that
recently, a.developer put in curb, gutter and-.sidewalk and.had the city pave
out their street just prior to request for development of-the property.
Those that wait until they get the use permits, etc. are then required to do
the pave out themselves. He felt that the original intention of the street
widening policy was to- encourage people..to install their improvements well
in advance of their developments, thereby improving the street at an early date.
It was not intended as a way for the city.to subsidize development of property.
Therefore, he recommends that the City Council consider the amending resolution.
The.City.Council.then held .a.lengthy.discussion..with.the administrative officer
and-the city- engineer ...dealing. with ..some..of• the conditions in. the proposed
amending resolution. After.discussion, the matter was continued.for staff
amendments to the Droposed street widenink policy amendment.
At this time the City Council adjourned to an Executive Session at 10:40 p.m.
They reconvened in Regular Session at 10:50 p.m.
There being.no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Schwartz
adjourned the meeting.to Tuesday, December 12, 1978, at 7:30 p.m.
APPROVED: January 2, 1979
