PRESENT: Lee Walton, City Administrative Officer; George Thacher, City
Attorney; J.H. Fitzpatrick, City Clerk; Henry Engen, Community
Development Director; Wayne Peterson, City Engineer; Roger Neuman,
Police Chief; D.F. Romero, Public Services Director; Jim
Stockton, Director of Parks and Recreation.
Councilman Jorgensen brought to the council's attention, the letter received
from the League of Women Voters which stated that planning issues are often
complicated and that an agenda is not always sufficient for public understanding
and that in order for citizens to respond knowledgeably to issues, access
to staff reports is of prime importance. The letter continued that
providing these documents could be costly for local government. Concern was
felt that if this information was available solely at a price, it could
prove prohibitive and discriminatory. If a charge is to be made for acquisi-
tion of a copy, it must then be made to all equally. No group or individual
should be exempted from the application of fees. In the interest of open
government and in order to protect the public's right to know, the League of
Women Voters of San Luis Obispo requested sufficient copies be made available
in timely fashion for check -out at the library and at City Hall to insure
that the public is adequately informed about future planning issues.
The City Clerk was directed to make additional agenda packages with all
enclosures available at the City Clerk's Office and also at the library for
public information.

The City Council directed the City Traffic Engineer to make the necessary
studies to review the speed limits on Patricia Drive north of Foothill
Boulevard.
3. At this time the City Council considered proposed amendments to the
Grading Ordinance recommended by the Community Development Staff to allow
for grading in advance of final plan approval and allow for exceptions to
grading limitations under certain conditions.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, reviewed the provisions for
changes in the ordinance.
Section 9410.1 which allows grading in advance of final plan approval.
"Grading may be approved by the Community Development Director on a site
prior to final approval by the city of development of all of the area to
be graded, provided that: (1) A tentative minor subdivision or tract map,
use permit, Architectural Review Commission project approval, or similar
authorization has been granted; and (2) related street and utility grades
have been established; and (3) a cash deposit or cash bond is deposited
to guarantee restoration of the site to a natural condition as required by
the Community Development Director should the project not proceed to comple-
tion."
Section 9413 (2) Exceptions: "The City Council may grant exceptions from
the grading limitations in Subsection 1., provided that that all the
following conditions are found to apply:
A. That any exception granted shall be subject to such conditions as
will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not con-
stitute a grant of special - privilege inconsistent with the limita-
tions upon other properties in the same vicinity.
B. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location of surround-
ings, the strict literal application of the grading limitations is
found to deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity.
C. That under the circumstances of this particular case the exception
is in conformity with the purposes of this ordinance set out in
Section 9401.
Exceptions may be granted only in conjunction with specific conditions of
approval of a comprehensive plan for the development of a site including,
but not limited to, proposed subdivisions, planned developments, use permits
or Architectural Review Commission projects."
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposed ordinance.

_George Thacher, City Attorney, suggested that before this change could go
ahead, the E.I.R. Coordinator must look at it as it becomes a project under
the rules.
Councilman Dunin's motion was lost for lack of a second.
On the original motion, the ordinance was passed to print on the following
roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Bond, Dunin, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
4. At this time the City Council considered the adoption of an ordinance
providing for the Housing Authority a right of first refusal to purchase
property within subdivisions in multifamily -zoned areas (continued from
October 9, 1979).
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the Housing Element
calls for adoption of regulations that would provide for the Housing Authority
a right of first refusal on property to be sold within subdivisions of multi-
family -zoned land. He stated that on October 9, the City Council considered
in study session an ordinance which would do this, found the draft acceptable,
and set November 6 for introduction of the ordinance at a public hearing.
He recommended that the City Council pass to print the proposed ordinance.
Stephen R. Nelson, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Housing
Authority, stated he felt the proposed Housing Authority Site Ordinance had
so many loopholes that it would be worthless for their operation, and he
hoped the council would direct the staff to redraft it so that the intent
of the council and Planning Commission is clearly.stated as is reflected in
the Housing Element.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the matter
was continued with the staff to meet with the Housing Authority to clarify
the language. Motion carried.
5. At this time the City Council considered an agreement with Ross Levin
Macintyre Architects to prepare a master plan for the Corporation Yard on
the Gudel property.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, briefed the proposal as submitted by
the architects.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the matter
was continued to Tuesday, November 20, 1979. Motion carried.
6. At this time the City Council considered an agreement between the
City and Envicom Corporation to conduct a Land Management and Development
Pland and prepare an E.I.R. for Laguna Lake. The projected was expected to
take one year with a maximum consultant cost of $45,890, in addition, there
will be other work conducted by city forces and minor supplemental contracts
with other firms. The finished product would provide the city with a master
plan for lake development and lake management, and an environmental impact
report.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4000 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approving an agreement between
the City and Envicom Corporation for a lake management and development plan.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Dunin, Bond, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None

7. The City Council received a report from the Planning Commission
regarding th acquisition of vacant city -owned land by Ms. Evon for property
directly behind Boulevard del Campo.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, presented the recommendations
of the Planning Commission and staff which were as follows:
1. That a title report be obtained to confirm whether Lorraine Terrace
had been abandoned, and what effect this may have on the actual size
of the subject lot no. 19.
2. That the city consider offers of sale to either: (1) the three
adjacent owners of property fronting on Boulevard del Campo -- dividing
the property among the three; or consider offer of sale to Southern
Pacific Railroad.
He continued that the Planning Commission also emphasized that in no event
would the parcel or its divisions be continued to allow the pasturing of animals.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Mayor Cooper, that the City
Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff and
authorize the Community Development Director to proceed with the recommenda-
tions to expose of the property with the following conditions:
(Either as notes on the map or as deed restrictions, the following conditions
should be established:)
1. No development of residences or accessory buildings on the parcels
to be sold.
2. The larger lot area resulting from this disposition not enable future
resubdivision or building whereby a greater number of dwellings would
result.
3. The price of the parcels should be established by appraisal and /or
negotiation. The council should authorize administrative or engine-
ering staff to proceed on their judgment. Perhaps the cost could
reflect the cost of curbside improvements on the opposite side of
Boulevard del Campo, which are presently lacking in front of the
city -owned park.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmember Jorgensen, Mayor Cooper, Councilmembers Bond and Dunin
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
8. The City Council considered a request from Richard Jacobs, 1536
Garden Street, for the city to purchase 2,500 safety flags to be placed on
bicycles for the safety of persons riding bicycles in the city. He felt
this was a safety feature which would benefit the young people, particularly
those riding in the city, from being hit by motorists.
The City Police Department submitted a report stating that this program
has not been well accepted by the cyclists. It might be accepted by the
young elementary school children, but they would like to continue with their '
present safety program in the schools without additional costs for flags.
They also felt that several of the financial institutions in the city have
been giving away these flags for the bicycles and that they were not well
accepted by cyclist.
On motion of Councilman Bond, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the request
be referred to the City Police Department to contact the city schools to see
if the school authorities wish to proceed with this type of program. Other-
wise, deny the request of Mr. Jacobs. Motion carried.

9. At this time the City Council considered authorizing a pre - application
for a block grant program.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, reported to the City Council that the city
staff and Housing Authority have designed two different housing programs
which may be eligable for federal block grant money. He stated that the
intent of these programs, is to conserve housing units in the downtown
' commercial core.
Program A was called a Downtown Housing Rehabilitation Fund. In this
program the city would establish a Housing Conservation District. The city
and Housing Authority would use federal money to help finance the rehabil-
itation of existing housing units within the district. In return, the
landlords would agree to rent their units at rates affordable to moderate
income households. The city would use land use controls to limit, and in
some cases prohibit the conversion of larger housing uses in.the downtown
Housing Conservation District.
Program B would be Housing Lease, rehabilitation and Management Program. In
this program the city would establish a Downtown Housing Conservation District.
The Housing Authority would use federal money to lease and rehabilitate
some older housing units in the district. The Housing Authority would be
responsible for managing the proposed uses. Other federal and state housing
programs may also be applicable. The city would use land use controls to
limit, and in some cases prohibit the conversion of larger housing uses in
the downtown commercial core.
Terry Sanville continued that the City Council should do the following:
1. Review and discuss the programs A and B.
2. Support one or both of the concepts.
3. Direct staff to prepare a federal block grant pre - application
involving these programs and schedule public hearings to review
and adopt the pre - application.
Terry Sanville recommended that the City Council approve Program A, the
Downtown Housing Rehabilitation Fund.
Rich Chubon, Housing Authority Executive Director, felt the best program also
was Program A, but it also had the most problems to get into. He felt
Program B would be much easier to get into and get some results.
Councilman Jorgensen felt Program B would be his top priority with A as a
secondary priority.
The City Council approved Councilman Jorgensen's suggestion and authorized
the staff to proceed to public hearing on the pre - application at the November
13 and 20 council meetings.
10. At this time Sally Punches, Chairperson of the Promotional Coordinating
Committee, submitted the recommendations of the P.C.C. for grants to community
groups who enhanced the quality of life in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Councilman Jorgensen agreed with the recommendation of the Promotional
Coordinating Committee but felt the Old Town Neighborhood Association
should receive not only the $750 as requested but it should be increased
to $1,000 in order to get their program underway.
Sally Punches, Chairperson of the Promotional Coordinating Committee, explained
that the Committee had not turned down the request of the Old Town Neighbor-
hood Association, but they felt their request was more into the advertising
and promotional portion of the budget and not into the grants or cultural
portion. They also felt that by working with the Chamber of Commerce, who
has had experience with this type of brochure, they could all come up with
a better product that could be paid for out of the promotional funds.
Councilman Dunin stated that he supported the recommendations of the P.C.C.
and also the approach to the Old Town Neighborhood Association's request.
He also felt the funds should come from the promotional advertising accounts
not the activity accounts.
Councilman Bond stated he would accept the recommendations of the P.C.C.
but felt some funds should go to the Old Town Neighborhood Association,
which he felt was a good idea on their brochure. He also felt the San
Luis Obispo Firefighter's Association should get some city money to put on
their convention in 1980.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he was opposed to using city funds to promote
conventions.
Councilman Dunin stated he supported funds for convention activities.
Councilman Bond again stated he felt that the Firefighters' Association
should get city funds for puting this convention-on.
Sally Punches again explained to the City Council the reluctance of the
committee to get into the funding of conventions as there are so many
conventions going on in the community, and it would be very difficult to
decide which ones would receive support and which ones would not.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Mayor Cooper, the City Council
accepted all the recommendations of the Promotional Coordinating Committee
plus a grant of $1,000 to the Firefighters' Association.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmember Dunin, Mayor Cooper, and Councilmember Bond
NOES: Councilmember Jorgensen
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
Penny Rappa, Old Town Neighborhood Association President, stated that she
objected to the City Council voting before they had an opportunity to make
their appeal. She objected to the P.C.C. action in not giving them city
funds for their brochure but rather advertising funds. She didn't feel
it was fair to ask their group to work with the Chamber of Commerce. She
felt they were just as qualified to prepare a brochure as was the Chamber
of Commerce. She stated she represented a responsible group and was disap-
pointed that the city did not give them funds direct for their proposal.

X -1. Penny Rappa, President of the Old Town Neighborhood Association,
brought to the council's attention the matter of two individuals who were
attempting to open "half way houses" in the Old Town Neighborhood Associ-
ation area. She wanted the council to know that the association is not
pleased with the city allowing the uses of residential property for other
than residential uses. She continued that the staff has been made aware
of the violations and she hopes they will get on it as soon as possible.
She stated that one was a rescue mission and the other was a half way house
for mentally disturbed adults.
The City Council thanked Mrs. Rappa for bringing this to their attention
and they would hope that they would proceed within the normal rules and
regulations of the city.
Due to the hour, Mayor Cooper adjourned the meeting at 6:15 p.m. to 7:30

On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following

the City of San Luis Obispo granting a franchise for a consolidated alarm

11. At this time the City Council considered.a recommendation from
the City Engineer to revise sections of the Municipal Code to increase
parking fines.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, stated that he had constantly been receiving
complaints from residents and businessmen about the misuse of city streets
caused by people over parking or parking in areas they shouldn't. He felt
it was appropriate that the City Council review the fine structure at this
time inasmuch as the Police Department must reorder tickets and usually
receive enough tickets to last for a year. He stated that they had compared
the fine structure with the cities of Santa Maria, Monterey, and Salinas.
These cities charge $10 and $20 for parking in no- parking zones, and $5 for
most other offenses and $3 for expired meters.
He recommended that the City Council change the fine structure as follows:
Raise the fine for parking in no- parking zones, in parkways, and in permit
areas from $5 to $10. He recommended raising the fine for parking beyond
posted time limits from $2 to $5 and raising the fine for parking in loading
zones, alleys, and bus zones from $5 to $10 with no change to the fine for
parking next to an expired meter which would remain at $2. He concluded his
comments by saying that he had discussed this fine structure with Jerry
Munger of the BIA and the Police Department.
Jerry Munger, President of the B.I.A., stated they had discussed the recom-
mendations regarding parking fines and that there was concern about abuse
of parking spaces by some employees and employees within the District.
The B.I.A. had the following recommendations:
1. Should customers be fined greater amounts when parking is such
a problem already? Perhaps after the parking problems are solved,
then customers would more readily understand the increased fines.
2. There was a concern about the publicity (adverse) involved with
presenting their customers with the idea of higher fines. Part
of reasoning is that just before Christmas, one of the busiest
seasons, it not good timing to present higher fines in downtown.
After some disucssion by the City Council, on motion of Councilman Dunin,
seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the following ordinance was introduced:
Ordinance No. 825 (1979 Series), an ordinance of the City Council of the
City of San Luis Obispo amending Section 3217.2 of the San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code to increase fines for parking violations.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: '
AYES: Councilmembers Dunin, Jorgensen, Bond, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
The City Attorney was directed, by the council, to bring back the necessary
ordinance to increase the fines for violations of the handicapped parking
areas.

12. At this time the City Council considered the recommendation from
the Planning Commission to approve a tentative map for Tract No. 807, a
15 -unit residential air -space condominium located at 1260 Ella Street,
R -2 zone, Equis Enterprises and Red Eagle, subdividers.
Ken Bruce, Senior Planner, stated that the Planning Commission recommended
the City Council adopt a resolution granting approval of the tentative map
' for Tract No. 807 with a negative declaration on environmental impact, and
subject to findings and conditions listed in the resolution.
The city staff stated that after approval of the tentative map by the
Planning Commission, the developer came forward with a proposal to add
some footage in order to increase the density. The staff recommended that
condition no. 2 be amended to read as follows: "Density shall be reduced
to 12.7 equivalent units, unless at time of final map approval the subdivider
has proof of purchase of an additional 2,300 square feet of property, in
which case density allowed may be 13.3 equivalent units."
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Vic Montgomery, representing the property developers, stated he was avail-
able to answer any questions and that they supported all conditions as
recommended by the staff and Planning Commission.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the
following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4001 (1979 Series),
a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo granting
approval of tentative Tract No. 807 located at 1260 Ella Street with
conditions as amended.

20. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider
the adoption of a Condominium Regulations Ordinance.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, presented the recommendation
of the Planning Commission which was that after the long series of commission
and council meetings to develop regulations aimed primarily at the con-
version of apartments to condominiums, they had approved the revised draft
and scheduled the ordinance for final passage.
Henry Engen continued that in re- reading the regulations, he found two
relatively minor items not previously discussed by the council and which
he felt should be modified as follows:
1. In the previous draft, Section 9800.7.B provided a thrity -day
period for tenants to exercise their right of first refusal to
purchase, as recommended by the Planning Commission. However,
state lav requires a minimum period of sixty days.
2. In the previous draft, Section 9800.7.F provided for a public
hearing and notification prior to the commission, but not the
council, taking action on applications. Since the council will
make the final determination, it seems reasonable to have a
hearing and notification requirement for both bodies.
Henry Engen stated that the referenced ordinance reflects these two
changes and all the other conditions as previously approved by the City
Council.

Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Vic Montgomery discussed the effect the ordinance would have on future
conversion of apartments to condominiums. He felt that in reading the
strict interpretation of the ordinance, it would prohibit the conversion
of any existing apartments. He felt the City Council should allow some
exceptions on building codes for conversions principles.
Tom Shuman representing the Tenant's Coalition, supported the adoption of
the strict proposed condominium conversion regulations.
J. Whisenant, Merriam, Deasey & Whisenant, felt that some type of condo-
minium conversion regulations are needed but he felt the proposed ordinance
before the City Council was too strict. He also felt that the city criteria
for ranking of condominium conversion applications is unfair as the rankings
were unclear. In addition he felt the section on findings were nebulous
and favored the city and not the property owner. He felt the ordinance was
good in principle, but he felt the regulations were impracticle and should
be modified.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Dunin stated he felt the ordinance was very far reaching. He
felt it was needed in order to protect potential buyers. He would support
the adoption of the ordinance and he would suggest a possible review of its
conditions in five years.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that the ordinance was needed to protect potential
buyers. He also felt the Planning Commission should hold hearings for the
purpose of ranking of applications. He supported the ordinance with a
review in five years.
Councilman Bond stated he would support the ordinance.
Mayor Cooper stated he too would support the ordinance as recommended by
the Planning Commission but felt that few buildings would meet the regula-
tions in order to be converted.
Prior to adopting the ordinance, the City Council, by common consent, wished
the record to show, "No accumulation of entitlements of conversions to be
allowed from year to year. Each year will start a new entitlement period."
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the
following ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 827 (1979 Series), an
ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo establishing condominium develop-
ment and conversion regulations with the City Council to review at the
expiration of five years.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Jorgensen, Dunin, Bond, and Mayor Cooper
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
21. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider
a recommendation of the Planning Commission to certify the final Environ-
mental Impact Report for a 21 lot subdivision on the base of San Luis
Mountain at the south end of Hill Street, west of Highway 101; Charles
French, applicant.
Dan Smith, Associate Planner, stated that the Planning Commission had
reviewed the E.I.R., the comments by the public, and the response to
the comments by the E.I.R. consultant; and the City Council should now
consider their recommendations and determine if the E.I.R. is adequate to

certify. He stated the Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council certify the draft E.I.R.
He continued that the Planning Commission wished the City Council to be
aware that they did not consider this to be an exemplary report. This is
reflected in the various minutes of the Planning Commission meetings.
Dan Smith then introduced Mrs. Irina Perlis Torrey, President of Torrey &
Torrey Inc., consultants for the city in the preparation of the final
E.I.R. for Tract No. 735. She briefly reviewed the major points of the
E.I.R. as prepared by her firm, covering such items as the environmental
setting, signficant environmental impact, mitigation measures, and
mitigation alternatives.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Dan Smith felt that the E.I.R. prepared by this firm was poorly prepared.
He felt that none of the mitigating measures or alternative proposals
had been studied in depth but that it was just a lot of verbage complying
with the various state laws.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
The City Clerk then read Councilwoman Billig's comments to the City Counil
as follows:
"Owing to my absence from this Tuesday nights meeting, November 6, 1979,
I am submitting my comments in writing to you on the Draft Environmental
Impact Report on Tract 735. I am hoping that Mr. Fitzpatrick will read
these comments into the record for me at that time.
Having studied this environmental impact report, I believe that it is
both lacking in depth and in detail in the areas of explaining issues
but not really developing them in a thorough manner. More depth should
have been gone into in terms of creative mitigation measures in the areas
of noise attenuation, reduction of grading, and placement of structures.
The consultants mention clustering as an alternative to a standard
subdivision, but do not elaborate. Both of the alternative design
concepts are not very innovative in terms of the number of lots and best
use of the land in question.
One of the chief problems for future residents of any project on San
Luis Mountain is run -off and resultant erosion. The magnitude of the
run -off situation in this area is far more severe than is recognized in
this report. A closer look and more careful attention should be paid to
this problem.
While this document is not as detailed as I would like, I believe that
it is minimally adequate.
I would like to suggest to the council that it direct staff to formulate
precise standards for hillside development. These standards would include:
grading, street widths, landscaping, noise abatement, placement of struc-
tures, structural design, erosion control, drainage, etc."
Councilman Dunin felt the E.I.R. was not too well done. He felt that it
' took too long a time in getting to the city for hearing. His main worry
was that the drainage from this property had not been adequately addressed
in the report as was the runoff problems.
Mrs. Torrey stated they did more work on this E.I.R. than any other they
have done in California. She felt her firm had adequately addressed the
matter of drainage so that a decision could be made by the council.
Councilman Jorgensen felt this was the poorest E.I.R. that he had ever seen
filed with the city. He felt the report did not adequately answer questions
raised by the development. He felt he would accept the E.I.R. as adequate
and felt the council would have to answer the questions lacking and missing
from the E.I.R. when they consider the tract map.

Councilman Bond stated he would accept the E.I.,R. reluctantly as adequate.
On motion of Councilman Bond, seconded by Mayor Cooper, the following

of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo certifying the project
environmental impact report for tentative Tract Map No. 735.

It was the common consent of the City Council that the council- direct
the Community Development staff to look carefully into hillside standard
developments in the new zoning ordinance.
22. At this time the City Council considered the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to rezone property located on the northeast side
of Galleon Way near Oceanaire Drive from R -2 (residential medium density)
to R -2 -PD (residential medium density, planned development.)
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the Planning
Commission recommended that the City Council accept a negative environ-
mental declaration and approve the rezoning to PD -2 which was predicated
on the acceptance of the exceptional circumstances of the applicant and
on the following four Planning Commission conditions:
1. The project shall receive preliminary approval by the Architectural
Review Commission. '
2. The applicant shall be given a period of 12 months to file precise
development plans for city approval. Preliminary development plan
approval shall become null and void after 12 months if precise
development plan is not filed and approved.
3. The project shall be "built -out" in a single phase. Construction
shall commence within 12 months from the date of approval of a
final tract map and shall be pursued in a timely fashion.
4. The applicant shall revise the site plan to provide access to all
parking spaces as required by the zoning ordinance and to the
approval of the Community Development Director.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
William McGonagill, architect for the project, appeared.before the council
on behalf of the property owner. He stated that he agreed with all the
conditions and would like the council to proceed.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Mayor Cooper, the following
ordinance was introduced: Ordinance No. 828 (1979 Series), an ordinance
of the City of San Luis Obispo amending the official zone map (to rezone I
property at 1256 Galleon Way).

22B. At this time the City Council considered the tentative map for
Minor Subdivision No. 79 -152 located at 1256 Galleon Way creating three
air -space condominium units and one common lot.
Ken Bruce presented the recommendation of the Planning Commission to
adopt the resolution subject to the findings and conditions for the
approval of the tentative minor subdivision. The staff and Planning
Commission both asked that the following condition be added:
13. "This resolution shall be effective upon the effective date of
Ordinance No. 828, rezoning this property from R -2 to R -2 -PD.
In the event Ordinance No. 828 is not effective on or before
December 20, 1979, this resolution shall expire. The tentative
map hereby approved shall expire 12 months from the date of
the adoption of this resolution, unless extended by later action
of the council."
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Mayor Cooper, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4015 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo granting approval of tentative
Minor Subdivision No. 79 -152, located at 1256 Galleon Way.

The City Council, by common consensus, directed the city staff to come up
with a minimum size recommendation for planned developments and condominium
developments.
23. At this time Lil Key, President of the Laguna Lake Ladies Golf
Club, appeared before the City Council and presented a petition signed
by 206 individuals urging that the City Council make no changes and leave
the Laguna Lake Golf Course open to the public.
The City Council explained the situation that a certain amount of misinfor-
mation had been distributed after a study session in which the City Council
was discussing the overall Master Park Plans for the city and where the
Laguna Lake Golf Course fit into these plans. There was no intention by
the council of closing the Laguna Lake Golf Course until a substitute had
been provided.
Within the discussion, there were some comments made that possibly if the
course were abolished or abandoned, that it should be kept for open space.
The council stated it was unfortunate that this misinformation got out.
Each one of the City Councilmembers present agreed that the discussion on
the Parks Master Plan, which included, of course, both the Laguna Lake Park
and Laguna Lake Golf Course, was just a discussion amongst the council and
there was no intention at that time of considering the closing of the course,
it was just a general discussion.
The Mayor thanked the people present who were interested in this subject
and hoped that the council had clarified the situation for them.
Councilman Dunin stated he wished to.defend
the villain as he had been quoted as
himself as he had
being the one wishing to
been made
close the
golf course and
turn it into a park.
He stated that that was
not his
intention. His
question was whether
the city would be better
off with
a regulation 18
hole golf course rather than a small 9 hole; but that
should all come
out during the study
of the Park Master Plan.
The Mayor thanked the people present who were interested in this subject
and hoped that the council had clarified the situation for them.

13. At this time the City Council considered the recommendation of
the Planning Commission to approve a tentative map for Tract No. 817,
located at 251 Margarita Avenue, to create a 102 unit residential air space
condominium on 9.7 acres on the south side of Margarita Avenue ease of
South Higuera Street.
Ken Bruce, Senior Planner, reported.that the Planning Commission had reviewed
this proposal several times in the past three years and that the original ,
project anticipated rental apartments and a park land dedication. The
applicant has now revised his project application to develop a condominium
project and to contribute park in -lieu fees instead of dedicating the park.
The latter concept was endorsed by both the Park and Recreation Commission
and Planning Commission prior to final preparation of the tentative map.
He stated that, therefore, the Planning Commission recommended that the
council adopt a resolution subject to the findings and conditions and also
approve the negative declaration.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Don Frank, architect for the developers, appeared before the City Council
stating that he was ready to answer questions. Upon question, he stated
they are hoping to bring the condominiums in in the range of $50,000 or
$60,000 per unit.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that he would support the proposal with an
additional condition for possible installation of a traffic signal at
Margarita and Higuera Street with the developer to pay a prorate share of
the cost of the signal due to the increase in traffic brought about by his
development.
Councilman Bond stated he too supported the project and agreed with
Councilman Jorgensen's comment regarding the traffic signal. He also
commented on the great number of condominiums being built and the lack
of new apartment construction.
Councilman Dunin stated he too would support the project. He agreed with
the need for a traffic signal at Margarita and Higuera Street. He also
felt that the speed on Higuera Street was much too fast.
Mayor Cooper stated he would support the project and that he felt if the city
really wants apartments to be developed, they will have to make some conces-
sions in their zoning ordinances for that development. He also agreed that
the signal would be needed very soon.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: -Resolution-No. 4002 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo granting approval of tentative
Tract No. 817, located at 251 Margarita Avenue with the addition of condi-
tion no. 19, which was to be a development, in cooperation with the developer,
of a traffic signal at the intersection of Margarita Avenue and Higuera
Street.

14. At this time the City Council considered a recommendation of the
Planning Commission to approve a tentative map for Tract No. 848 to create
a 9 -unit residential air -space condominium subdivision, located at 573
Highland Drive; T and B Construction, subdivider.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, presented the recommendation
of the Planning Commission which was to approve the subdivision subject to
findings and conditions. He also stated that the Planning Commission wished
the Council to be aware that the Commission specifically rejected the concept
of requiring the developer to pay for a pro rata share of the cost of the
existing paving on Highland Drive.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Tim Baker, representing the property owner, stated that he was available to
answer questions of the Council.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Dunin stated he would support the development. He felt that it
had been a long time coming and it would be an asset to the community.
Councilman Jorgensen felt the development was a reasonable compromise to
apartments as their design makes them look like single family dwellings which
would seem to satisfy the neighbors in this R -1 zone.
Councilman Bond stated he would support the development.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4003 (1979 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo granting approval of tentative
map for Tract No. 848, located at 573 Highland Drive, and subject to seven
findings and eight conditions.

' 18. At this time the City Council considered plans and specifications for
the Laguna Golf Course Driving Range Protective Screen, City Plan No. D -35,
bid estimate $41,300.
In discussing this proposal, the owners of the adjacent mobilehome park stated
that they did not feel the screen would protect golf balls from being blasted
out onto Los Osos Valley Road. They felt the driving range was much too short
to be properly used as a driving range.
City Council Minutes
November 6, 1979 - 7:30 p.m.
Page 10
The City Council discussed with the staff the effect the 40 foot plus screen
would have and the short distance from the tee to the end of the driving range
on the safety of the area and of property owners in the area.
The matter was referred to the staff for restudy and also the staff was to
check with a professional golf association member to see if the screen, as
proposed by the city, would be safe and adequate for a driving range.
E -1. At this time the City Council considered an amendment to the Public
Employees Retirement Systems contract for firefighters which would provide
for retirement benefits based on the final year compensation starting on
January 1, 1980. This amendment was part of the provisions in the 1979/1980
memorandum of understanding between the city and the Firefighters' Associ-
ation. The extra cost to the City of San Luis Obispo to provide this
benefit to the Firefighters' would be 6,915 per year for the next 12
months. The present contribution by the city is 16.020 percent of payroll,
the additional benefit would increase this percentage by 0.806 percent for
a total city contribution of 16.826 percent. Naturally, these figuers
are subject to change in the future with any change in actuarial data.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4016 (1979 Series), a resolution
of intention to approve an amendment to a contract between the Board of
Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the City
Council of the City of San Luis Obispo (to provide Section 2024.2, "one year
final compensation for local fire members only ").
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Dunin, Bond, Jorgensen, and Mayor Cooper
