1. At this time the City Council. held a public hearing to consider an
appeal of a Planning Commission decision to: 1) require a focused Environmental
' Impact Report for zoning text amendment, amending Section 9200.25 (R -2 zone
district) to allow for fraternities and sororities within that zone with a
use permit; and 2) denial of an amendment of Section 9200.25 (R -2 zone district)
to allow for fraternities and sororities with a use permit in the R -2 zones;
Delta Theta Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., appellant.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the Planning Commission,
on March 14, 1979, voted to require an E.I.R. on the request of the sorority
and to deny the zoning amendment request. The staff recommends that the
City Council uphold the Planning Commission and deny the appeal.
Henry Engen continued that the applicants desired to change the text of the
zoning ordinance in order to enable them to request consideration for a use
permit for a sorority on land presently zoned R 2 medium density residential.
The first action of the commission was to determine that such a request
should have an Environmental Impact Report owing to the extent of R -2 zoned
neighborhoods in the city. However, the Planning Commission then proceeded
to deny the request on a 4:1 vote (one member changed his vote to meet their
by -law requirements for the requisite 4 votes to act on a zoning matter).
This action would have been final except that the ordinance permits an appeal
to the City Council.
The following letters in.-support of the appeal-of the sorority were submitted:
Losi Weber Martinez
Mary S. Luis and Anthony R. Luis
A letter signed by the Panhellenic Alumnae Advisory. Committee signed by 11
persons.
Lawrence B. Sage
Leonard Lenger
Letters in opposition to the appeal were received from the following:
The Principal of Emerson- Hawthorne School, Dr. Marianne Michels
Henry A. Zevely
Winnie & Charles P. Root

Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Mrs. Rosemary Talley, President House Corporation Board, Delta Theta Chapter
of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, appeared before the City Council explaining the
use they wished to make of the property at 1326 Higuera Street as a chapter
house for the sorority. She explained that the purpose of the sorority was
.to help young college women development an educational, social and cultural
endeavor. She stated that the French home they were attempting to purchase was
very large, 4000 square foot, older home on a lot measuring.19050 square feet,
allowing adequate parking for the five bedroom home. The property would be
used as a residence for fifteen girls and a housemother. It would also be
used for weekly meetings of the sorority. Currently, the sorority meets from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the City Recreation Department Building. The sorority
plans no additions to the house or any divisions to the property. Present
plans only call for the addition of a bathroom sink and the improvement of
the driveway and realignment of the fence on the south side of the property
to provide suitable and attractive parking.
She continued that this particular lot was backed by business establishments
facing Monterey Street and bordered on either side by older homes used for
offices or student housing. The remainder of the surrounding property seemed
to be predominately single family homes, many of which were rented to students.
The neighborhood was bordered at the end of the block by the railroad tracks
and at the other end by Johnson Avenue and did not lend itself to permanent
owner occupied family housing. Because.of the size of the subject property
and the cost involved, it would no doubt be turned into rental housing if
not used as a group home of some sort. Apparently the lot size and current
zoning were adequate to allow 5.25 two bedroom apartments on the property with
a population of 21 persons with no common interest or supervision.
Mrs. Talley continued that she felt the sorority would enhance the neighborhood
because the alumnae were concerned about the character and looks of the sorority
home as were the active members. The property would be kept in its present
state to insure preservation of the home and, indirectly, the neighborhood.
Because of the-location and proximity to the downtown area, it was a benefit
to the whole community if the property was kept in good repair and aestheti-
cally cared for. They would hope to keep the property as an elegant, older
home intact.
She concluded by saying that the sorority was requesting a change in the
San Luis Obispo City Zoning Ordinance to allow sororities in R -2 zones
provided: (1) the density was in accordance with the medium density as described
in the general plan; (2) the sorority had been officially recognized by the
California Polytechnic State University; and (3) the sorority met all
conditions of a use permit. The conditions of the use permit would allow
the City of San-Luis Obispo the latitude to deal with unique individual
properties that were developed before - current zoning practices were established.
They would also allow an alternative method for the preservation of a
residence of unique historical or.traditional landmarks which were not eco-
nomically feasible as a single family residence or practical to preserve
otherwise. Allowing sororities to occupy this type of residence would
sacrafice as little as possible the unique charm, tradition and environ-
ment which were priceless assets of San Luis Obispo.
Patrice Kershaw, President, Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, spoke in support of
the city finding a way to allow the sorority to occupy the property at 1326
Higuera Street as their chapter house.
Cathy Homan, house manager of the sorority, spoke in support of finding a way
to guide them in being allowed to use the property at 1326 Higuera Street for
their sorority.
Charlotte Brekke, 1034 Mill Street, explained the services to San Luis Obispo
presented by the Greek letter sororities.
Dr. Lorraine Howard, Cal Poly, spoke in support of sororities for Cal Poly
and the City of San Luis Obispo.

Dorothy Bilodeau, Judges House.-on Johnson Avenue, stated she was opposed to
further control by the city over housing for young students. She supported
the use of the French property for the sorority and stated that for many,
many years, even before there was a.zoning ordinance in the city, her home
had been used for housing young men from the college.. .
Peg Morem, Flora Street., supported the application of the sorority as she
felt this would put.thia property to good use and .would preserve the building
on the property.
Jean Ferrini, 663 A1.Hi11 Drive, stated that she supported the proposed
sorority use of this property. She felt it was a well preserved, fine old
home and was an asset to the city. She felt that the sorority would keep
it so. She felt it being adjacent to the C -2 would make this use a buffer
to other residential use within the area. She felt the sorority would be
an asset to the neighborhood and the community and urged the City Council
to approve the appeal.
Joanne Forrest, financial advisor for the sorority, stated that there was
already heavy traffic in this area, and.that the impact from 15 people was
not going to be that great. She also felt that this would be a buffer
between the high commercial uses on Monterey Street and the lower residential
uses on Higuera Street. Ms. Forrest stated she was amazed at some of the
comments referring.to students as if they were something other than human
beings. She felt they were people who were learning to be mature and res-
ponsible. She felt that use permits could be very restricted and urged that
this amendment change be approved with strict controls.

and for the city.
Support of allowing

Bob Timone, Cal Poly Dean of Students, stated he supported the proposed use
of property for sorority housing. He felt that for a long time there would
never be any special.fraternity, sorority on state land, although, Cal Poly
was urging that this be allowed. .
Bob Brank, 1352 Higuera Street, spoke in support of allowing the sorority to
occupy the Higuera Street property.
Joanne Fenton, attorney for the sorority, stated it was very difficult for
her to understand what the.Planning Commission had had in mind when they
required an E.I.R. on the zoning amendment for every piece of property in
the City of San Luis Obispo, considering:
A. The amendment did not a£fect.all parcels in the R -2 zone., but only
a few;
B. The amendment decreases the intensity of the use of the parcels
which were affected;
C. No project was presently proposed on any of the affected.parcel. No
physical change was proposed on the parcel Gamma Phi Beta was acquiring,
the house already existed;
D. Gamma Phi Beta was proposing to. preserve a.large.and attractive house
which could be demolished for the construction of multiple units.
The house was far beyond the means of most families.
E. The location was a busy commercial and professional office area, just
off. -two of the city's major streets. Use of the property as housing
for a small group of women would not make an impact that could be
measured. It would not be possible to present any information in an
E.I.R. that was not already available.

She concluded by saying that it was difficult not to conclude that the main
reason for asking for an E.I.R. by the Planning Commission was to please
the people who wished to-stall or defeat the establishment of housing for
sororities and fraternities in this city. She felt the.environmental quality
act was grossly abused when used in this fashion. She felt that from a
practical point of view, the property on Higuera Street was ideal for the
proposed housing. She felt that given the fact that sorority houses were
going to exist in the city and that students couldn't be confined to ghettos,
this parcel had the advantage of not being in a clearly single - family neigh- '
borhood. It was located in an isolated ;Ir lock pocket of R -2 zoning which was
surrounded by commercial and professional office establishments.. Adjoining
properties were not occupied by families. The house was well back from the
street and had a high fence. From the standpoint of the young women who would
be.living there, it was within easy biking or walking distance to campus and
was served by the city bus She hoped that it was clear that this was not a
case where a group was trying to avoide being under a conditional use permit.
She stated the sorority was willing to accept whatever conditions need to be
imposed to assure that their presence would not pose any problem. Moreover,
this particular sorority had established an excellent reputation in their
present location.
She then reviewed for the City Council several legal definitions in the zoning
ordinance dealing with private lodges for clubs and the fact that they were
allowed in R -2 zones but not fraternities or sororities. She felt that the
exclusion of student non - profit association in the R -2 was a discriminatory
and invalid provision. She felt that California had a long and well established
legal history of prohibiting discrimination in housing, not only discrimina-
tion by government but also discrimination by private persons. She concluded
her comments by saying that no change in use was contemplated -for the property
on Higuera Street. It had always been used as a residence and would continue
to be used as a residence. Existing facilities were categorically exempt under
sections of the state code. On the whole, the housing which.was proposed
appeared to be an undertaking which would benefit the environment and the city '
by preserving the structure as a home. She urged the City Council to approve
the appeal.
Dr. Dan Krieger, 662 Islay Street, President of the County Historical Society
and on the faculty-at Cal Poly, stated that he supported the sorority use of
the French property in order to preserve this building and others-like it for
posterity. He felt the use permit should be allowed if off - street parking
could be procured to protect the neighborhood. He said that his major fear
was that these older buildings, large family homes, used in the olden days
with large families were no, longer viable and that they would be destroyed and
new, modern little boxes put up for residences.
Penny Rappa, 1435 Broad Street, representing the Old Town Neighborhood Asso-
ciation, stated that the problem was not the merits of a sorority using a
building, but a problem of zoning and land use. She felt allowing these uses
in R -2 zones would destroy the neighborhoods in which they were located. She
also felt that an E.I.R. should be required. She felt that the R -2 zone was
a neighborhood for families, not for boarding houses, etc. She felt that
there many group houses that were out of control and were destroying the neigh-
borhoods throughout the city.
Mr. Pinard was opposed to organizational housing units in the R- 2.zones. He
felt sororities and fraternities were not compatible with family ownership or
living and that Cal Poly should solve their problems and not pass them on to
the citizens of San Luis Obispo. He felt that group housing was a poor
intrusion into residential areas and the City Council should deny any request
to amend the zoning text to allow them into these zones.
Mrs. , 1357 Higuera Street, 11 -year resident, stated that she was
opposed to changing the planning laws to allow fraternities and sororities
and other group housing in the R -2 zones. She stated that the major fear of
the property owners and tenants in this one block of Higuera Street, was the
influx of additional traffic and parking in the area. Without adequate off -
street parking, it would destroy what is left of a nice residential neighborhood.

Richard Jacobs, 1356 Garden Street, President of the Old Town Neighborhood
Association, stated.that.he was opposed to the text amendment to allow group
quarters in.the R -2 zone. He said the question was not the sorority use of
the French property, but it was a change in the use of land and its develop-
ment. He said that this proposal would lower real estate values, could be
considered blonkbusting, and conflicted with the General Plan. He'felt it
was incompatible with residential homes in the area. He felt-a complete E.I.R.
' would enable members of the commission and council to understand the kind of
impacts that would result from these uses. He felt the members of the Old Town
Neighborhood Association had experienced this problem in their areas with the
great number of fraternaties, group housing, and other groups living out of
control in their area. He urged the City Council to uphold the Planning
Commission and deny the appeal. He then read a lengthy letter interpreting
various state laws on planning, zoning, environmental quality act, etc.
Myron A. Ledworowski, 1368 Higuera Street, was opposed to allowing the use of
the French property for group housing, whether a fraternity or sorority.
Miss Bonnie , 1351 Higuera Street, was opposed to allowing a permit
for a sorority to use the French property on Higuera Street. She urged the
denial of this request.
Peg Pinard, Broad Street, Old Town Neighborhood Association, opposed to a
text change to allow group - living in-the R -2 zones. She felt sororities and
fraternities were not compatible with family living. She felt the City Council
should support the Planning Commission and deny group living quarters in
residential zones. She stated..that.at the present time, there are over six
illegal group housing operations in the city and that the city did nothing to
correct this. She said this matter has been brought to the City Council and
staff many times over the years, but they are being ignored. She said that by
allowing this text change, it would just increase the pressure on the city
to grant variances for such group housing uses.
Mr. Charles Andrews, Chairman of the Planning.Commission., reviewed.his actions
in denying the negative declaration for the E.I.R., but he felt that at the
public hearing this evening, not too many people seemed to desire the E.I.R.
for the R -2 zones.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he- was.oppased to text changes as he does not feel
it involves the subject sorority house. He felt that text amendments were
dangerous as applied to all properties in the existing R -2 zones or in R -2
zones that may come in the future. He felt there was an attempt to circumvent
the zoning.ordinance-. He felt this was a very serious decision and that the
honest action was to have the property rezoned to R -3 which also meant a change
in the General Plan. He felt the experience of the city has been to expose
family living to group intrusion in their areas and he.would oppose any action
to change zoning text to allow fraternity and sorority uses in the R -2 zone.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, explained the time schedule which
would be necessary to have the property zoned to R -3 which he felt would not
be before November, 1979, as the zoning ordinance and the General Plan must
first be amended.
Councilman Bond felt that he would agree to deny the text change but he would
accept an application to change the-zoning of this.blo.ck to.R -3...
Councilman Dunin stated he would uphold the appeal to change the text to
1 allow fraternities and.-sororities-in the R -2 zone with use permits, but he
would modify the text conditions for these uses.
Councilwoman Billig stated she would-deny-the appeal,. and she felt the change in
text was no.answer to the problem -at the present time before the City Council.
Mayor Cooper stated he could support the appeal and proceed with the text
change with conditions to be amended at a later date.

George Thacher, City Attorney, stated that if the council upholds the appeal,
they are approving text changes to the zoning ordinance that would allow
fraternities and sororities in the R -2 zones. To deny the appeal would support
the Planning-Commission in leaving the R -2 zone -text intact. -
On motion -.of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilwoman Billig, that the
city deny the appeal to amend the text for the R- 2-zone.

3. Andrew Renetsky presented a petition signed by 123 residents of the
area bounded by Grand Avenue, Fredericks Street, Motley, Bond, Hathway, Slack
and back to Grand Avenue., asking that the City Council initiate a program
of permit parking from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, of each
week in the area and prohibit parking other than those with permits. He
stated that the heavy traffic which now exists on the narrow and curved
hillside streets has created a definite safety hazard, especially for the
small children living in the area. What used to be a beautiful; quiet,
residential area, is now one large, congested parking lot. The proposed
parking program would restore this area to a safer, quieter neighborhood.
The proposal would be:
1. To ban parking in the area from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on school
days except by permit.
2. Issue vehicle bumper stickers to residents within.the area which
would entitle them to unlimited parking.
3. Issue a limited number of guest cards to each residence.
4. Exempt commercial vehicles working in the area.
In order for the system to work, the petitioners recommend:
1. That bumper stickers and guest cards be in a color which cannot
be xeroxed.

2. Require residents to show proof of address and registration of
vehicle befoxe_r.eceiving bumper stickers or-guest cards.
3.. Require residents -to notify police department 24 hours in advance
for any large gatherings in the area.
The petitioners stated that as residents, they would.be willing to work
with a program of this type and would be willing to pay reasonable fees
or charges not to exceed $5 per household per year.
David Ken, resident of Slack .Street, stated he was opposed to the concept
of parking permits. He stated it was unenforceable and did not like to pay
to park in front of his own house. He felt this was a typical city approach
to rip off the students going to the university. He felt this was a frank
discrimination against the students and he felt it was illegal and did not
know who would support this program.
Howard West, Dean of Cal Poly, hoped the city would work with Cal Poly faculty
and staff before putting such a restricted program into force.
Dottie Conner, chairperson for the Citizens` Committee, explained the reasons
for requiring the permits, etc.
On motion of Councilwoman Billi.g, seconded.by Councilman Dunin, that the
City Council approve the proposal in concept and authorize.the staff to study
and come up with a program for future council consideration.
Motion carried on the following roll-call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Billig, Dunin, Bond, Jorgensen and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
' ABSENT: None
Councilman Jorgensen asked that this program be limited to a one -year trial
period to be reviewed before adding it.into other neighborhoods..
4. A request from the executive board of the Business Improvement Area
that the city allow free parking at the emtpty parking meters in downtown
San Luis Obispo on Saturday. The meters that are not used are Osos Street,
from Mill to Pacific, Palm Street, from Morro to Santa Rosa, Monterey Street,
Osos to Santa Rosa, Marsh Street, Osos to Santa Rosa, Pacific Street, Osos
to Santa Rosa, Pacific Street, Broad to Santa Rosa, with the block between
Chorro and Morro being left metered. The plan would be to advertise the
program, the B.I.A. would furnish the paper bags with the printing and the
manpower to put the bags on and off each Saturday. The areas under suggestion
are in the city and county administrative area as well as the financial and
professional services in the city and that these meters are only used during
the week. The B.I.A. would like to try this program for a period of two months
to see if it would work and if the people would appreciate the use of the free
parking. The B.I.A. felt that this program would give the downtown some relief
while they are working on the future parking plans which look like they will
be two to three years away.
Jerry Munger, chairman of the B.I.A., appeared before the City Council explaining
his program and urging council. consideration.
' on motion.of.Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, that the
matter be referred to the city staff for a report on options, preparation

C -4. Communication from the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce informing
the City Council that the Sign Committee of the Chamber has again met and
stated that they felt that it would-be impossible to make any recommendations
relative to the sign ordinance until all businesses in the city have been
notified as to their conformance to the sign ordinance. The letter continued
that they did not wish to creat a future problem by making recommendations,
working out compromises, and then finding out that the downtown business
people (who have not yet been notified) cannot live with those compromises.
Therefore, the Chamber committee asked the following:
1. All efforts of the sign enforcement.technician be devoted to notifica-
tion of nonconformance- of. .the remaining-.sign- owners in a reasonable
length of time.
2. All other enforcement (except notification of the sign owners of
nonconformances) be suspended until all notifications have been
completed and the Chamber sign committee has had a reasonable time
to analyze the reaction of the notifications and formulate recommen-
dations.
