possibility of a conflict of interest, with the resolution adopted at a
prior meeting dealing with bonding in subdivisions, Mayor Cooper left the
meeting due to a possible conflict of interest. George Thacher explained
that when the council amended the provisions for bonding, the Mayor did not
realize that his firm might be involved in this type of situation in the
future and he should not have voted on it; therefore, he has prepared a
resolution rescinding a previous resolution that the Mayor had voted on.
No comment from the City Council; everyone understood.
On motion of Councilwoman Billig, seconded by Councilman Bond, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4367 (1980 series), a resolution

mation the proposed agreement with the City Housing Authority to handle the

responsibility in administering the program and also submitted an annual

Grant Program. Staff estimated that it would take about $50,000.00 to cover
the cost of administration for a three -year rehabilitation program. The actual
cost of the program of course will depend on how long it takes to distribute

will be paid for by the Federal Block Grant; no city money will be involved.

407 11. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to consider an
appeal of a decision by the Community Development_ Director to acquire a
focused environmental impact report on a General Plan Amendment located at
1772 Calle Joaquin Street. The general plan amendment requested would
change the zoning from conservation /agriculture to tourist commercial; Climate
One, Inc., applicants.
City Council Minutes
December 16, 1980 - 7:30 p.m.
Page 2
Councilman Bond left the meeting due to a possible conflict of interest.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the request by the
applicants would extend the urban reserve line about 2500' to the southwest,
and phase the land use designation from agriculture /conservation to tourist/
commercial on approximately 20 acres of property. He continued that this
prominent 100 ft. high property is at the southerly entryway to the city on
Highway 101. Changing the plan on the scale proposed raised serious aesthetic,
planning and service issues that led to the present limited tourist land use
designation. The appeal should be denied in order to provide appropriate
information to make a reasoned decision on the request.
George Thacher, City Attorney, reviewed for the City Council the requirements
of the E.I.R. involvement in various projects, public and /or private;
and also how the determination of a project and need for an E.I.R. is made.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
GlennaDeane Dovey urged that an E.I.R. should be prepared on all general plan
changes. She felt that this particular site "Hob Nob Restaurant" is very
sensitive, and needs an E.I.R. She urged the City Council to deny the appeal.
Allen Settle urged the focused E.I.R. for this general plan amendment request.
He felt the property owner should have an E.I.R. prepared at this time to save
time and money as he would have to have one prepared anyway. He urged the
council to deny the appeal.
Vic Montgomery, engineer for the developer, appeared before the City.Council
on behalf of the appeal not to require an E.I.R. on this general plan develop-
ment. He felt it was wrong to require an E.I.R. before a proposal had been
set in motion before the city. He felt that the first things that must happen
is the change in zoning in the general plan so that the property owner can
then, if they wish, prepare a plan for that proposed use. Either the constraints
of the land use designation, he felt an E.I.R. should come at the time a
project is submitted and at that time an E.I.R. would consider the entire
program. He concluded that to have an E.I.R. prepared at this time would be
used to deny any project regardless of what the proposal was. He urged the
council to uphold the appeal.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Dunin felt that he had problems with this appeal. He did not know
which was fair, having an E.I.R. now or waiting until a project had been
prepared for the property. He would support the council policies on hillsides.
Councilwoman Billig felt the property owner should prepare a focused E.I.R.
now so that the property owner and city would know the potential uses of the
property and any future use they may wish to make of it. She felt in this way
the public, property owner, and council would be able to make education decisions
on future developments. She supported a focused E.I.R. as requested by the
Community Development Director.
Councilman Munger felt that this was an unreasonable request to prepare an
E.I.R. as he felt it was an imposition on the property owner to prepare reports
without having a project in which to consider. He would support the appeal.
Henry Engen again explained to the council the need to have an E.I.R. at the
general plan consideration level.
Mayor Cooper felt the E.I.R. at the general plan amendment point was wrong
as the city would require another E.I.R. when the project was presented for
council consideration. He felt two E.I.R.'s on the same project was just a
waste of money.
On the motion of Councilwoman Billig, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the
City Council uphold the Community Development Director and order an E.I.R. to
be prepared. The motion lost on the following vote:

Obispo amending the official zone map to rezone property at 2877 Broad Street
from R -1, R -2 and A /C -40 to R -1 -PD, Cheapskate Hill applicant, John King.

particular ordinance, prior public hearings that were held, and the conditions

ment.

505 16. At this time the City Council considered an appeal of Mrs. Stanley
Nelson from a decision of the Tree Committee to remove a tree in front of her
house located at 1661 Hillcrest Place. Said tree causing sewer damages to
the adjacent property and also destroying the curb and gutter in front of the
property.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, stated that the Tree Committee had
appeared at 1641 Hillcrest Place where a black acacia tree is located and
agreed' -that it be removed. The reason the Tree Committee urged removal were:
1) that the tree was causing severe damage to sidewalk and curb; 2) the tree
was too large for the parkway; 3) the treetop type not recommended for street
tree planting; 4) the tree damaging itself due to restricted area; 5) the
overhanging tree has been hit by passing vehicles; and 6) the tree has a
multiple stem which is not normal growth habit. It was also suggested by
the committee the tree removal, sidewalk repair, and sewer repair be coordinated
so they accomodate each other. D.F. Romero also recommended that the tree
be removed.
Mrs. Wade, 1641 Hillcrest, appeared before the City Council explaining the
funds that she has expended in attempting to keep her sewer lines open which
are being damaged by this particular tree. She felt it was wrong to keep a
tree that was causing neighbors damage.
Councilman Dunin hoped that a compromise could be arrived at, one that would
keep the tree but do something to keep the Wade's sewer lines clear. Council -
member Billig also was disturbed that if the tree were to come out, she hoped
that a decent -sized tree would be placed where it-..was removed.

After discussion with Mrs. Wade and Mr. Romero, Councilwoman Billig stated
that the tree should be removed and that the city should plant a new one to
the satisfaction of both the Wades and the Nelsons. Unfortunately, the tree
must be removed but the city should do what it can to help replace an adequately
sized tree in its location.
Councilman Bond agreed with the removal of the tree and replanting if a
mutual type could be arrived at between the adjacent property owners.
It was moved by Councilman Munger, seconded by Councilman Bond, that the appeal
of Mrs. Nelson be denied, that the city staff's work was to help the Nelsons
and the Wades to see if a replacement can be made to the satisfaction of both
property owners. Motion carried, all ayes.
R 4366 17. At this time the City Council considered an agreement with Emlyn G.
Jones to organize, promote, and maintain a program known as the Landlord/
Tenant Inspection Services for the period December 15, 1980 through
April 30, 1981.
Walt Lambert, Chairman of the Human Relations Commission, submitted a
recommendation regarding the landlord /tenant inspection services which they
feel will resolve a major problem in the community of requiring relations
between the landlord /tenant on refunds to deposits for rent. The program
envisions a $25.00 charge by either the tenant or landlord requesting the
inspection service. The city would then make the inspection and hopefully
both the landlord and tenant would accept.
Jack E. Megow, Executive for the Human Relations Commission, reviewed in
detail the proposal of the Human Relations Commission and the reason for
recommending that Emlyn G. Jones be made the Landlord /Tenant Inspection's
Representative for the four -month period. On motion of Councilman Dunin,
seconded by Councilwoman Billig, the following resolution was introduced:
' Resolution No. 4366 (1980 series), a resolution of the council of the City
of San Luis Obispo approving an agreement between the city and Emlyn G. Jones

552 18. At this time the City Council again reviewed the recommendation from
the Public Services Director to increase all parking meter rates. Continued
from October 28, 1980.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, again reviewed for the City Council
his report of September 25, 1980 dealing with the annual review of the
Downtown Parking Program. He stated it was his recommendation that all
Alternates la and Items 2, 3, and 4 be approved by the City Council. Item
la - convert all meters to double the present rates; Item 2 - delete pennies
from meters; Item 3a - install two hour meters on Marsh and Higuera Streets

approximately $230,000.00 per year in excess.of expenses. He stated
that this recommendation would require conversion of 900 meters at a parts
cost of $14,000.00 and labor cost of 670 man - hours. He continued that if all
the parking meters both on streets and in parking lots are converted to the
.20C per hour rate, new revenue will bring in approximately $390,000.00 a
year in excess of expenses.. This would require conversion of 1414 meters at
a parts cost of $22,000.00 and a labor cost of 1,060 man - hours. He also
stated that he could support the 20C per hour rate for all parking meters in
place of recommendation la.
Marcel Cote, BIA Parking Committee, stated he felt that the 20C rate in lots
and in the core were fair, and possibly 10p in the outlying areas to encourage
people to use the outlying areas for.all -day parking. Or he felt that.the
BIA could go along with 20(� for all meters if most of the money were used
to develop parking.
It was moved by Councilman Dunin, seconded by
the rate for the meters be established at 20C
meters and lOC per hour for all long time met
conversion of meters has been completed, that
for one year. The only exception will be the
