action.
Item 1:- Mid -day Pass Program
D.F. Romero continued that it was.the consensus of the M.T.C::to continue to
adhere to•its.policy of opposing a-subsidy to any special-group.such . as senior
citizens, students, or pool, but should instead follow policies which treat

all transportation-disadvantages on the same basis. He continued that the
subsidy per rider is in the magnitude of .75p to $1.00 per rider, considering
the new contract, and suggested that the M.T.C. was cautious in granting
special privileges, thus further increasing city operational costs.
He then presented the action of the Mass Transportation Committee which was:
The M.T.C. hereby recommends that the Mid -day Pass Program
continue as it is presently constituted with no changes in ,
the hours, fare structure, and no change to reflect a special
privilege for one particular group of citizens.
Hank Wollweber, president of the San Luis Obispo Senior Citizens, asked that
the City Council consider continuing their pass program at the reduced rate.
He asked, on behalf of the seniors, that the council extend the time from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rather than the 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., as recom-
mended at the present time. He continued that he felt the staff had not
properly advertised the program and had not properly briefed the drivers
on how to operate this particular program.
Shirley Ferguson, nutritional advisor at the Anderson Senior Citizens' Hotel,
asked for unlimited use of discount bus pass for senior citizens to better
serve the senior citizens of San Luis Obispo who need this type of transpor-
tation to get to and from the hotel for health and nutritional programs. She
felt that the present time schedule was very limited to seniors due to limited
time available for use to go to the hospital for appointments and treatments.
She felt this would be a good program to get seniors into the main stream of
the community. She concluded her statements by saying that there is a great
need for this program in the community because those who use it, need it
badly.
Art Jack stated that a study of the M.C.T. figures show that only about one
or two passes are used at any one time on any one bus.. He does not see how ,
these few riders would be detrimental to the buses operation_ He also did
not see a grant of special privileges to allow seniors a reduced fare on the
bus. He continued that most public transportation systems grant special rates
for seniors, either free or for a nominal fee. He also asked the council not to
extend the reduced bus rate for a six month period but to allow it to continue
to June 30, 1980. He also asked that the City Council for a senior citizen
use from 8:30 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. He would prefer that the City Council allow
unlimited use for seniors, but that he would go along with a limited pass if
necessary.
D.F. Romero again reminded the City Council that the Mass Transit Committee
policy was not to subsidize any elements of the population of the city.
Walter Rice reviewed the activities to date, particularly as to subsidizing
ridership on the bus system. He stated that the mid -day pass program was
established in order to have the buses running full during slack periods.
Rose Barger spoke in support of extending the times for the Mid -day Pass Program
from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. She urged the City Council to support the seniors'
program.
Councilman Dunin stated he would support the request of the seniors' Mid -day
Pass Program at a reduced bus rate. He felt the city has always found ways
to subsidize other activities in the city and he felt that this was not any
special privilege for any particular group. '
Councilwoman Billig stated she too would support the use of an extended time
for use of a discount pass, at least 30 minutes before the existing starting
and ending times.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that he would support an unlimited pass for senior
citizens if it were legally permissable to do so.
Councilman Bond stated he would also agree with an unlimited-use of the bus
pass for seniors.

Item 2: Discussion of Cuesta Shuttle Service.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, presented two proposals regarding the
Cuesta Shuttle Service. Each of them indicated an annual operating cost of
approximately $20,000. He explained that the latest approach had been for the
City of San Luis Obispo, County of San Luis Obispo, and Cuesta College, each
to pay 1/3 of the operating cost of the system. He stated that the Mass
Transit Committee made two motions:
1. "The.M.T.C. hereby recommends that the city continue to participate
in the Cuesta Shuttle Service."
2. "The M.T.C. hereby recommends that the city negotiate on the basis
of 1/3 of the cost of the Cuesta Shuttle Service being shared each
by Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo County, and San Luis Obispo City."
' On motion.of Councilman-Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the City
Council concurred in the recommendation of the Mass Transit Committee that
they wish to continue the Questa Shuttle Service and would be most happy to
pay 1/3 of the cost if the other two agencies would pay their share.

Councilman..Jorgensen stated he was-opposed to reducing.the hours.at the library
from those agreed upon in the 1972 guidelines. He hoped that there would be
dialogue.between the city and county to settle this matter of hours lost,
library space, and.parking. He felt the hours could not be reduced below 54.
Councilman Dunin agreed with Councilman Jorgensen's comments.
Marge Kirby, County Administrator's office staff, again reviewed the entire
proposal by the county for the City of San Luis Obispo's Library.

the savings they hoped to make in moving the administration of the county

San Luis Obispo.

Councilman Bond, that the city staff be directed to prepare the necessary

4. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to-consider the
recommendation of the Planning Commission-to approve the South Higuera
Commerce Park Specific Plan and its Environmental Impact Report.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, reported that the Planning Commission approved
the Commerce Park Specific Plan and certified its E.I.R. The Specific Plan
was prepared by Robert Strong working as a consultant for the affected property
owners. The city planning staff -also helped prepare the plan. The Environ-
mental Impact Report was written by WESTEC Services Inc. under contract with
the city, and paid for by the applicant. At the two meetings in March, the
Planning Commission studied both reports and made the following recommendations
to the City Council:
1. Certify that the plan's Environmental Impact Report is adequate and
meets the reporting requirements of the city and state E.I.R. guidelines.
2. Adopt the Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan. The plan should also
include-the four additional items spelled out by the staff and Planning
Commission.
The following recommended additions to the Specific Plan were also made:
1. The circulation.portion of the.specific plan should be expanded to
include a bike path on-the east side of Higuera Street. Since there
is a 42' wide landscaped area proposed on the east side of the street,
there.appears to.be room to locate an 8 -foot "separated" bike path
under the cypress trees.
2. The intersection.of the frontage road and the main entrance way to the
Commerce Park should be redesigned. The planning staff recommends that
design #2 shown on page 46 of the draft E.I.R., or something similar
to it, be followed.
City Council Minutes
April 17, 1979 - 7:30 p.m.
Page 5
3. The circulation section-of the specific plan should talk about traffic
signals. When the Phase I area is subdivided, the developer should
be asked_to.participate in paying for the signal at Tank Farm Road.
Participation in_signalizing_Prado Road will depend on future traffic
conditions. It may be a condition of subdividing the Phase II area.
4. The specific plan should indicate that some additional landscaping
(planting of trees) along Higuera-Street will be needed to fill in
the gaps. This-will create a.uniform.and. attractive landscaped area.
Terry Sanville continued-that the proposed South Higuera Commerce Park was
an 80 -acre specific planning area located on the east side of Higuera Street
between Prado Road and Higuera Street. This land was annexed to the city in
1972. At that time the zoning was R -1. The city's general plan also desig-
nated the property as a suitable location for housing. In January, 1977,
the City Council adopted a new general plan land use element. The 1977 plan
changed the allowed use of the property from housing to service commercial/
light industrial. The area was no longer considered a good location for
housing because of its proximity to the.county airport and the potential for
aircraft noise and safety problems. In July, 1977, the property was rezoned
from R -1 to CH -SP, thereby requiring a specific plan. This was done to make
the city's zoning map consistent with the long -range general plan. Both the
Planning Commission and the City Council recommended that a specific plan be
required before the area was further subdivided or developed.
One of the reasons why the city required a specific plan was that the planning
area was the largest piece of vacant land in San Luis Obispo that is zoned
for service commercial use. The adoption of a sepcific plan should result in
the superior design of future subdivisions and development projects. State
law says that the city is responsible.for preparing and adopting specific
plans. A specific plan can address a wide variety of topics. The commerce
park plan focuses on the master planning of land uses, streets, and public
utilities.
Rob Strong, consultant for.the property owner and designer of the specific
plan for the Higuera Commerce Park,_reveiwed for the City Council the specific
plan, its purposes, etc. in order to give the council a background of what
was proposed before considering either the E.I.R. or specific plan.
Bill Foley, representing WESTEC.Services Inc., the city's E.I.R. consultant,
reviewed for.the City Council the various elements that made up the E.I.R.
for the Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan, Tract No. 703. He stated that
this report was being submitted to the City of San Luis Obispo in accordance
with the procedural guidelines.for implementation of the CEQUA and the State
of California.guidelines.for_ the preparation and evaluation of environmental
impact reports under the California.Environmental Quality Act of 1970. He
then reviewed in detail Chapter 1.3, Summary of Findings, giving the finding
and the suggested mitigation for the following items:
Geotechnical
Hydrological
Biological
Land Use
Archaeological and
Aesthetics
Historic References
Circulation and Traffic
Noise
Air Quality
Public.Facilities and Utilities
Any and all growth inducing impacts
The City Council discussed with Mr. Strong and Mr. Foley, the consultants,
various points made in their presentation.
Mayor Cooper opened the public hearing, and with the council's consent,
limited the comments to only the E.I.R.

Jamie Lopes, Buchon Street,.did not feel that.the E.I.R..addressed.the secondary
problems of this-project which was-the-lack of housing in the city as he felt
the General Plan..suggested.a.lesser.and lesser amount of housing would be
provided and more and more business. He felt that the E.I.R. was wrong in
guessing that employees for this development would come from within the city.
He stated that as a professional planner,.this was a wrong assumption. As
unemployment-is-low in the city, all new workers would come from outside. He
felt the E.I.R. was mute on the amount of housing needed to house the employees
of this development. He also did not-feel that the E.I.R. addressed the extra
business needed to serve the employees of the complex. All in all, he felt
the E.I.R. was weak on growth inducing effects this development would have on
the City of San Luis Obispo.
Pete Evans agreed with the comments.of the prior speaker, D. Lopes. He also
felt the E.I.R. was inadequate and did not address the impact that this devel-
opment would have on the City of San Luis Obispo.
Joe Gibbs felt that the E.I.R. was inconsistent with'the General Plan con-
servation element.
Robert E. Hibshaw, Sr., property owner.of the proposed development, discussed the
growth inducing effect of the proposed Commerce Park. He reviewd the survey on
Capitolio Way which reviewed.the number.of developments and the-number of employees
and how many employees had come.from outside the Ciyt of San Luis Obispo. He
stated that of the ten businesses employing 103 employees, only 7 had come from
outside the city limits. He felt-that this type of proposal he was developing
for the city was needed to give the local people employment and that this devel-
opment would.generate no new.employees but would support the people already living
in the city. He felt that the E.I.R. was factual and should be accepted by the
City Council as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mark Elliott, Higuera Street, spoke against the E.I.R. as he felt it did not
address the loss.of. excellent farm-land that this development would be covering
with buildings-and concrete. He also felt that the E.I.R. was mute on the
potential pollution that this development would make in the city.
Mark Brazil felt that the E.I.R. was adequate, felt the community needed oppor-
tunities for employment, and that the present city policy does not allow jobs
for local citizens.
9:10 p.m. Mayor.Cooper declared a recess.
9:20 p.m. the City Council reconvened with all councilmembers present.
Liz Fisher did not feel that the E.I.R. adequately-addressed the traffic circu-
lation problem. She felt that it lacked decisions and was inadequate and should
not be accepted.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
George Thacher, City Attorney, then reviewed for the City Council the elements
necessary to approve the E.I.R. He felt that the City Council should certify,
if they can, that the project E.I.R. was completed in compliance with the
California Environmental.Quality Act, State and City E.I.R. Guidelines, and
that it was sufficient to describe the environmental impacts of the South Higuera
Commerce Park Specific Plan.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, suggested that the City Council approve the
project E.I.R. and allow the city staff to prepare mitigating measures for hearing
later on the project.
Councilwoman Billig objected to the suggestion of adopting the E.I.R. without
addressing the mitigating measures. She also felt that the public has the right
to know when the hearing on this project would be advertised.
Councilman Jorgensen felt that the E.I.R. does not address the impact of this
project adequately and does not show certain problems that must be mitigated at
the time the project is considered.

On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, Resolution No. 3825
(1979 Series), a resolution of the City of San Luis Obispo City Council certifying
the Environmental Impact Report for the South Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan.
Passed and adopted on the following-roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Jorgnesen, Bond, Billig, Dunin and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Mayor Cooper then announced that the City Council would now hold a public
hearing on the Specific Plan for the South Higuera Commerce Park.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, again reviewed the recommendation of the
Planning Commission for the City Council to adopt the Specific Plan subject
to the four additional conditions.
1. Bicycle Routes
2. Interior Streets
3. Traffic Signals
4. Additional Landscaping
Terry Sanville concluded his remarks by stating that the planning staff had
recommended to the Planning Commission -that additional action should be taken
by the developer of the Specific Plan to mitigate noise increases on Prado
Road and Higuera Street, but he reported that Planning Commission had rejected
the staff recommendation on this matter.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Rob Strong, consultant for the property owner, again-reviewed the'Specific Plan
for the South Higuera Commerce Park. He stated that basically the Commerce
Park Specific Plan was intended to more precisely describe what was happening
on the land rather the general plan such as appropriate land uses, provisions
for streets, drainage, and utility improvements, design, development standards
which would insure an orderly and timely implementation of the General Plan.
He stated that basically the 80 acres had been divded into 4 subareas. The
portion near the Prado Road and Higuera Street intersection was proposed as
a home improvement complex for building materials, sales and service, special
service commercial district, vehicle sales and service center including car,
truck, motorcycle, etc. and the balance for general purpose, commercial service
and light industrial uses. The property would develop first with 50 acres
being developed and subsequently phase II or 30 acres would.be brought into
development.
Charles Meissner, property owner adjacent to'the development, objected to the
proposed development on two issues. 1) loss of his road by the developer,
access from Higuera Street, 2) he felt that this land was the finest farming
land in the county and he hated to see it covered over with concrete, etc.
He said he and his family had been farming this land for many, many years
and that he did not feel it should be taken out of farm production.
Ms. , Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo, was opposed to the
proposed development due to the loss of what she felt was.the finest farm
land in the county and-she did not-want to see it covered with..buildings, etc.
She felt that the United States needs to grow food for future generations
and that the question for this council was, are they going to support farm
land or business and venture.
Joe Lattimure was opposed tb the project due to the loss of good farmland.
Robert Hibsham, Jr., property owner's son, felt that their development was
going to provide jobs and employment for the people already here in San Luis
Obispo. The plan was not to bring in new people but support those already here.

City Council Minutes
April 17, 1979 - 7:30 p.m.
Page 8
Mayor Cooper closed_the.public hearing.
Terry Sanville again listed.areas.that were not resolved at.the Planning
Commission level which included, 1) services, 2) water uses, and 3) the
phasing program.
Councilman Jorgensen reviewed for the City Council.the list.of errors caused
' by poor planning by the city over the--years that effected.particular property.
He felt the subject property should never have been-annexed, never should
have been zoned for residential or-now for light industrial. He felt this
was prime agricultural land and that no development should ever take place
on it in order to protect its use. He felt it should remain an agricultural
use. He felt the proposed project was growth inducing and would require a
lot of water. He also felt it would have a negative effect on the adjacent
residential living if it was approved. He did not feel that the project
addressed things such as the noise control or the phasing of development to
mitigate growth.
Councilman -Bond agreed that this property should be left as agriculture and
not for development.
Councilman.Dunin stated he would support urbanization of this property, would
support the project,.he felt it was needed as the city needed jobs, he would
support phasing of the development in order to control pressures as housing,
and circulation should be looked into. He also felt the water use should
be controlled and that only low.water use type industry be allowed to develop.
He did not support the requirement for a large wall to mitigate noise from
the adjacent property. He would..support.the adoption of a specific plan with
amendments to be addressed by the Planning Commission.
Councilwoman Billig stated she would -not be able to support the.approval of
the development for commercial and.industrial use over this fine agricultural
area. She felt that the planning was bad in the general area within the
city.. She felt the city.has allowed a terrible mix of residential uses,
commercial.and industrial uses in this area which has always been used strictly
for agriculture and that type.of.service. She felt that the circulation
and water and sewer services-were still -to be answered in.this plan. She
was opposed to adding more confusion of land uses in this area.
Mayor Cooper stated.he could.suppo= the Planning Commission recommendation
to approve this project. He felt the staff and Planning Commission had
answered all the problems, had mitigated them, and he would support the plan.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Mayor Cooper, that the City Council
introduce a resolution adopting the South Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan.
Motion lost on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Dunin and Mayor Cooper
_NOES: Councilmembers Billig, Bond and Jorgensen
ABSENT: None
On motion.of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilwoman Billig, that the
city staff be directed to.initiate.a General Plan amendment to A/C or con-
sistent zoning in-order to continue agriculture use.of the property and
1 clarify the inconsistencies in the.General.Plan as noted in the E.I.R.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Bond and Billig

City Council Minutes
April 17, 1979 - 7:30 P.M.

5. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to. consider an
appeal of -a Planning Commission decision to require a focused environmental
impact report on the changes to the proposed Terrace Hill planned development
project, Cuesta Valley Properties, appellant.
Dan Smith, Associate Planner, stated that the applicant, Cuesta Valley Properties,
was appealing the decision.of the Planning Commis, ion-to--require a- focused
EIR to address revisions to areas 3 and 4 of the subject development plan. ,
He then reviewed the long history of this particular development of Terrace
Hill by this company. He said that originally, the development plan was
granted a negative declaration with no E.I.R. required by the City Council.
This was done at an appeal hearing initiated by interested citizens who
disagreed with the original Planning Commission decision do grant a negative
declaration. The negative declaration was granted based on technical infor-
mation called an initial environmental study prepared by consultants and
submitted by the applicant. It was also based on the fact that an environ-
mental imapct statement was certified for the Bishop Street extension.
After the negative declaration.was granted, the applicant decided to make
changes to areas 3 and 4 of this plan. The changes are as follows:
Area 3 - Thirteen of the eighteen housing.units proposed in this area were
moved from the top of the hill to the southeast face of the hill. This change
was made because the applicant chose to withdraw a general plan amendment
request required to place houses -on Terrace Hill above the 460 foot elevation
which is the water service limit in this area. Another reason for the change
was to avoid breaking the profile of the hill top using the face of the hill
as a visual backdrop for the houses making them less conspicuous. This change
required reallignment of a private street which varied from the existing graded
road. It proposed to place the street and houses in the steeper parts of the
hill requiring additional grading some of which was extended to blend cuts
into the hill and remediate existing grading scars on the hill.
Area 4 - Housing units were.moved lower.on the face of the hill. The proposed
'
private street was moved to a lower portion of the slope and.was broken into
two cul -de -sacs with an emergency access connection. The housing units were
also placed on both sides of the street to break up the linear building mass
characteristic of the original area 4 plan.
Revisions to area 4 were done-after the initial Planning-Commis ion-.meeting
in response to Planning Commission comments. A_Community Development Depart-
ment staff and City Attorney decision required the revised plan to go back
to the Environmental Review Committee to determine if the revisions to the
plan would cause significant adverse impacts to the environment not evaluated
in the negative declaration for the original project. Staff prepared an initial
study which was supplemented by a new geologic report from Mr. Robert Williams
of Central Coast Engineering. Based on the new geologic report and findings
by staff that the aesthetics of the plan had improved by virtue of the revisions
a negative declaration was recommended.
Other issues were no.t.analyzed in depth by staff because the revisions to the
plan involved the same number of units with the same access points, drainage
configuration and noise exposure. The revisions vary little in most respects
from the original plan except for the position of houses on the hill which
affects geology and. aesthetics. However, the-Planning Commission, by a vote
of 5 -2, passed a motion finding that the revisions to areas 3 and 4 may
cause significant adverse environmental impacts and require.preparation of a
focused E.I.R. The E.I.R. is to focus on the following concerns:
1. Traffic and Circulation
2. Nosie
3. Geologic and Seismic Hazard
4. Storm Drainage
5. Aesthetics
The motion included a directive to have the E.I.R. consultant compile all
initial study material.previously prepared to be included in the focused E.I.R.
City Council Minutes
April 17, 1979 - 7:30 P.M.
Page 10
Dan Smith concluded by stating .that the Community Development staff.stands
by its original-recommendation-that a_ negative declaration be granted for
the plan because the.revisions appear to affect only concerns of geologic
stability and aesthetics... The geology has been reviewed by the consulting
soils engineer and - the.plan.is- found to be feasible with - appropriate grading
techniques -and-aesthetics which staff ..feels have been. improved over the
original plan. He stated that it should be noted that because a negative
declaration-was-granted for the original.plan, an E.I.R. determination may
be made for revisions to the plan.only.. Determination.is whether the revisions
cause significant-adverse impacts to..the environment not found in the original
plan which was granted a negative declaration.
George Thacher, City Attorney, discussed with the council the history.of
the particular project and the environmental - impact report.starting with the
negative declaration by the City Council through the present action by the
Planning Commission.for a focused E.I.R. on the amendments to the plan.
Mayor Cooper.declared the public.hearing open.
Andrew.Merriam, representing Merriam, Deasy and Whisenant, Inc., consultants
for the property owners, appeared before the City Council on behalf of his
appeal. He stated that_ the.appeal -to the council to deny.the requirement
of the Planning Commission for a focused E.I.R. on the changes to the
Terrace Hill Planned Development for the following reasons:
1. The hearing process generated..specific answers to the two - issues
generated by changes made from the previously exempt plan: aesthetics,
and soils and geology.
2. By admission of_the.majority.of -the Planning Commissioners, adequate
information-was-supplied for the Planning Commission-decision-process.
In other words, the_EIR.would not generate new information required to
' make an informed decision.
3. The need for public-review and -input is well met by the 8 to 12 hearings
that this project will have before any final approval.is granted.
4. The six to eight month delay will not serve to benefit the city, the
. .general public, the developer or the future homeowners.
5. Finally, while the state.guidelines do allow.EIRs where there is a
"substantial body of opinion ".which- considers the effects to be
negative, no such "substantial body of opinion" manifested itself in
the hearing stating that the changes proposed by the applicant
actually increased environmental impacts.
Finally, he stated that the developer was being penalized for showing good-
will in attempting to improve a project which-had previously received a
negative declaration.. He believed that this was an abuse of the.EIR process
to require a.formal document which is modified in response -to the hearing
process. ,
Bob Vessley, civil engineer at Merriam,-Deasy and Whisenant, presented a
slide show to illustrate how the new.changes to the development were proposed
and how it would fit.in -the overall scheme.
' Robert Williams, Central Coast Engineering,-consulting engineer, reviewed
for the City Council geological studies made by.his firm on the Terrace Hill
project.
Andrew.Merriam again-appeared.-before the- council.reminding the new City Council
that the old council-had given -the development a negative declaration and now
the Planning Commission wants to go back and get a focused EIR.
Don O'Connor, Rich Court, felt that before the project went any further, an
EIR should be.required.. He felt.that.if an EIR had been required and prepared
at the beginning, possibly the fears of-the neighborhood would have been
mitigated. But without a full EIR, the neighbors have many concerns that
City-Council Minutes

Page 11
the developers and staff.-have not.-attempted to answer—He felt the project
will have a significant .effect.on the.environment, not only.on the immediate
neighborhood,_but.also_ the city in general.
Ted Graves, Sylvia Court, urged the City Council to require a focused EIR on
this project. He.felt.that.the hill is unstable and that.an.EIR focused on
geology and seismic hazards.would.mitigate.his and his neighbor's worries and
concerns. He felt an EIR was necessary.
.Liz.Fisher.felt an EIR was needed for this project.
Mr. Radabaugh, 1254 Drive, urged a focused EIR in order to mitigate
concerns of the neighborhood on.the project. He felt an unbiased study was
needed.
Enrico.Bongio, Sierra -Way, urged. -an EIR. in order to see what effect the latest
amendments by French would have on the neighborhood. He felt a focused EIR
was needed in order for the council to make a decision.with full knowledge of
potential probelms. He felt the matter of drainage has not been answered and
the hill is full of water and is constantly moving with landslides, etc.
contrary to previous statements that the hill is solid rock. He asked -the
council to come.and see erosion, slides, etc. He begged.the council to have
an EIR as- .recommended by.the Planning Commission
David Rodie supported a.focused EIR for this project for full information
for the public-on the development.
Joe Roschaud, Ella and Osos Streets, support an EIR for this project.
Shannon - Richards, Rachel Street, supported.an EIR for the project.
Eddie Woodward._San.Mateo Drive, supported a.focused EIR for -full information
of potential problems.
Burt Forbes- supported.a focused EIR. He had concerns for.neighborhood protection
He felt an EIR was needed.to protect -the property owner so he would have full
knowledge and could mitigate measures that the EIR brought out. He also
objected to the Bishop Street extension from Broad Street to Johnson Avenue.
Pete Evans, Ella Street, supported an EIR to review the proposed development
and mitigate its problems. He felt the original-council decision to issue a
negative declaration was wrong and -that if the city had listened to the people,
they would have an EIR.by this time approved and the project would be on its
way with.all problems.mitiagted.
Joseph.Rathbaugh..supported an objective, independent, and unbiased EIR on
geology.and- seismic problems.. He stated that there are very real problems
with unstable soils, etc.
Jerry.Emery, landscape.architect, urged the_council.to require an.EIR for
the Terrace Hill project. He felt the state law was passed just for projects
like this so that the full information could be brought to the public, this
was the.reason for.the.California Environmental Quality Act.
Mayor Cooper declared.the public hearing closed.
Mayor.Cooper.called..a recess at 12:10 a.m.
The City Council reconvened at 12:25 a.m., all- councilmembers present.

council to- change their minds and reject the proposal and not allow sororities
or fraternities in -the R -2 zones. He wished to remind the council that any
action they took at this time would affect all -the R -2 zones -and not just

used for group living.
Councilman - Jorgensen stated he was-.opposed-to-allowing-sororities-and fratern-

living and it should be allowed to be developed...
Councilwoman - Billig stated.she could not support the.zone text amendment to
allow sororities and fraternities-in-the R- 2.zones with a_use permit. She
