City Council Minutes September 15, 1981 - 7:00 p.m. Page 4 Randy Bullock, candidate, stated that he had a sincere interest in the community and this has been demonstrated through his activities within the City. He is presently a Planning Commission member, a businessman, 12 -year citizen of the City, and currently he is president -elect of the Exchange Club. He has also been involved in La Fiesta, and Special Olympics. He stated that he had the time that was needed for the per- formance of Council duties. He was in the position that he would devote at least 20 hours per week, and his experience in the community would serve him well on the Council. Robert Furmann spoke on behalf of Randy Bullock urging the Council to appoint him as Council member as he felt that he would be a very good representative of the City. Ernest Chapman, candidate, stated that as an Instructor and Veteran of WWII, he had spent most of his life in the Metropolitan areas but this was why he was in a good position to see the several disadvantages of the larger areas and the needs for smaller ones. He would like to main- tain a beautiful community. Reverend John Leo also spoke in support of the appointment of Mr. Chapman.

She campaigned in the last Council election and has kept current on all matters since that time. She said as a Planning Commission member, she has had to study and make difficult decisions. Her schedule allows for ample time to serve as a diligent, thorough member of an active City Council. Stephanie Nelson, 475 Ramona Drive, stated she would be opposed to the appointment of Sylvia Drucker as Councilmember. She felt that Mrs. Drucker was not supportive of student needs and voted consistently against fraternities and sororities. She felt that she would not make a good Council candidate. Robert Griffin, candidate, proposed and answered three questions for the City Council: (1) What should they look for in a person filling this post? He stated that if appointed, he would not pose a "clone" of the present City Council but would function independently. He had firm philosophical standards and open to new approaches.

He stated that he had the support of the business com- unity as demonstrated by the petition signed by several B.I.A. members. (3) Can the Council function effectively with members with full careers and responsibilities? Yes. He stated he had the support of both of his family and his employer.

She stated his affiliations were many and impressive. He had taken on many controvertial issues that most people would shy away from. Donald O'Connor also spoke in support of Mr. Griffin. He feels he had the experience, skill, time, and was a concerned citizen that would work effectively with the other people on the Council. He stated that growth has been a real problem in the City of San Luis Obispo and feels that Mr. Griffin would bring a balance to the community. He had the time, energy and capacity for the job.

APPEAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION - GP 0951 Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by Richard Warner, appealing an environmental determination by the Community.Development Director to grant a negative declaration for General Plan Amendment 0951 (east side of Santa Rosa Street generally between Mill and Walnut Streets). Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that Mr. Warner had again appealed the Community Development Director's determination to grant a negative declaration. This amendment was initiated by the Council and would establish a precise boundary between housing and . office areas along the east side of Santa Rosa Street generally between Mill and Walnut Streets. He stated that Mr. Warner owned property on Mill Street (which was the subject of a recent zoning request denied by the City), had petitioned the courts and was requesting that the courts require the City to rezone his property from R -2 to P -0. Action by the courts was still pending. The proposed general plan amendment was ' scheduled for Planning Commission consideration on September 10, but must be continued by the Commission until the Council acts on this appeal. Mr. Warner's appeal letter outlined several points which he and his attornies felt warranted further environmental study. He would again urge the Council deny the appeal. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. Shauna Sullivan, representing Miller and George, stated that the grounds for this appeal were that the City's Planning Commission and Department of Community Development had failed to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, the San Luis Obispo City Code, and the San Luis Obispo Environmental Impact Procedures and Guidelines. The applicant was challenging the Director's determination that no significant environmental effect would occur as a result of the project. This project of converting designated professional office use to residential uses may individually, as well as accumulatively, cause significant effect on the environment. The project had a potential to achieve short -term goals to the disadvantage of long -term environmental goals. Furthermore, such a project conflicted with adopted environmental and growth plans and goals as represented by the general plan. Such a project could also result in increased water consumption. The project would also conflict with established professional office uses in the area thereby disrupting and dividing the physical arrangement of the ' established community. The director had apparently failed to consider these and other possible environmental impacts that might result from the project. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed. On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilwoman Dovey, to deny the appeal with the findings as recommended by staff and direct the City Attorney to prepare resolutions with those findings listed in the report for the September 22 meeting. Motion carried, all ayes. City Council Minutes September 15, 1981 - 7:00 p.m. Page 8 7. REZONING PORTIONS OF DOWNTOWN CENTRAL BUSINESS AREA Council held a public hearing to consider a Planning Commission rec- ommendation to rezone portions of the Downtown Central Business Area from C -R (commercial retail) to C -C (central commercial); City of San Luis Obispo, applicant. Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that tonight the Council would be considering a pass -to -print application of the central commercial zone to the downtown area. This was part of the overall strategy for developing off - street parking. The new zoning ordinance required off - street parking for all C -R uses, and the Central Commercial District could relieve that requirement in view of the built -up nature of the Downtown to be half of the normal parking requirement. The new zoning ordinance went into effect on August 20 and staff was now begin- ning to get variance and use permit requests to relieve both new uses and new developments from the requirement for off - street parking. He stated the new C -C zone would not take effect for approximately two months. It would appear desirable to allow those developments to pro- ceed subject to an agreement to.be worked out with the City Attorney's office. He would recommend that after consultation with the City Attor- ney, he would suggest the following language be added to the Central Commercial zone: Section 9203.10E.5.d to read as follows: "d. Parti- cipating in a parking district which provides parking spaces through a fee or Assessment Program. (This subsection may be satisified by written agreement to participate in a parking district as described. Any such agreement shall provide that if such parking district does not provide the required parking on or before January 1, 1985, then the space require- ment shall be otherwise met)." He would recommend the Council introduce the ordinance to rezone property in the Central Downtown Area from C =R to C -C and further to initiate a zoning ordinance amendment by sending it to the Planning Commission for addition of this language. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. Tom Smith, 1965 Higuera Street, questioned when this would be effective and what would happen to existing businesses. Henry Engen explained that the existing conforming, but as long as the business that it would neither be expanded or of be alright and no further changes would Ken Porche, representing the B.I.A. and the Parking Committee had not been kept in -part with the parking garage felt th aware. businesses would become non - remained unchanged, meaning a more intensive use it would re required.

Pamela Voges, City Clerk, stated that the final passage of the Campaign Regulations Ordinance was before the Council for the third time. She stated that it was originally introduced to print with minor changes made by the Committee along with stronger language added to discourage block purchases of tickets for BBQ and other fund - raising activities. Addition- ally, the Committee recommended against raising the $10 anonymous contri- bution limit. At the last regular meeting the Council further amended the ordinance to raise the $10 anonymous limit to $25. It was now before the Council for final passage. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. No one spoke for or against the final passage. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.

SIDEWALK REPAIR - BECK Council considered a report by the Public Services Director on sidewalk repair costs for property located at 611 Park Street. Dave Romero, Public Services Director, stated that at the meeting of September 1, Council requested staff to further investigate charges against the Beck's property and report back. There were three repairs made by the City at Beck's property. (a) A sidewalk radius was filled in at the corner of Wilson and Park at a cost of $157.70; (b) A defec- tive piece of sidewalk between Mrs. Beck's steps and the public side- walk at the corner was removed and replaced at a cost of $80.75; (c) A 4' by 4' square of sidewalk was removed and replaced on the Wilson Street frontage of the property at a cost of $76. He stated that Mrs. Beck contends that the triangular piece of sidewalk mentioned under (b) above, was damaged by a street name sign pole which had been installed and reinstalled several times on the public sidewalk nearby. Art Hird, who is the City's expert on sidewalk repairs, had informed Mr. Romero that the street name sign had no effect on Mrs. Beck's sidewalk. He stated that he posted the triangular piece of sidewalk because it was raised above the adjacent sidewalk grade by approximately one -inch and would constitute a hazard for pedestrians cutting across the corner. Mrs. Beck also contested item No. (c) on the basis that the defect was caused by a tree which was removed approximately 40 years ago. It was true that the trees along Wilson Street have created major problems and may have been removed due to the damage caused through adjacent curb, gutters and sidewalk. The City policy prior to 1957 calls for property owners to make all repairs on the adjacent sidewalk whether caused by a tree or not. From 1957 to approximately ten or 12 years ago, the policy called for the property owner to bear full cost of sidewalk repair if the tree was to be removed. Only if the tree had been removed under the current policy in effect for the past ten to 12 years, would the City bear the cost of the sidewalk repair. Since Mrs. Beck's tree was removed long before the policy was in effect, the sidewalk repair cost should be her obligation. Mrs. Beck had indicated that she would pay whatever the Council felt proper and did not want it to become a lien against ' the property. He would recommend that the Council find that the charges were proper and require payment as recommended. Councilwoman Dovey stated that she could support the denial of the appeal. Councilman Dunin would like to give some sort of credit to Mrs. Beck for a portion of this work. After brief discussion it was moved by Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the sidewalk repair costs be split between Mrs. Beck at 75 percent and the City 25 percent for items b and c. City to pay full cost of item a, with the findings that this was a shared responsibility, not a hardship. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Dunin, Settle, Dovey NOES: Mayor Billig ABSENT: One vacancy 11. EXTENDING GOLF PROFESSIONAL AND CONCESSIONAIRE CONTRACTS . A. Council considered extension of the contract between the City and Bobby Kober for golf professional services at the Laguna Lake Golf Course. B. Council considered extending concessionaire contract.with Bobby Kober at Laguna Lake Golf Course. 1 7 1 City Council Minutes September 15, 1981 - 7:00 p.m. Page 11 Jim Stockton, Park and Recreation Director, recommended that the exist- ing contracts for management and concession operations at Laguna Lake Golf Course be extended for a period of one year (October 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982) to allow completion of capital improvement projects funded for this fiscal year. He stated that it was not thought prudent at the time when construction projects were imminent at the course to either recommend a different form of management or offer the course for lease to a private entrepreneur. Given time, preferably a full - fiscal year, without interference of construction or other outside matters-it would be necessary to make diligent assumptions as to the potential of the course. He stated that it was the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department that the City maintain status quo at Laguna Lake Golf. Course for fiscal 1981/82 as they look forward to further construc- tion on the site. It is recommended that the management and concession contracts be extended for that one -year period so that a different man- ager /management technique would not add confusion to construction choas. It was also recommended that all City personnel involved in operation or maintenance of the course be extremely diligent to minimize construction interference with play. Councilman Dunin stated that this has been talked about for several years, and he would urge staff to somehow get this golf course self - supporting or look towards other means for the City to get out from under it. Council generally agreed that additional alternatives could be sought in this next year and that a longer agreement could hopefully be rec- ommended at the time these agreements expire. With brief discussion it was moved by Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the following resolution be introduced: Resolution No. 4618 (1981 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approving an agreement between the City and Bobby Kober for extension of golf professional agreements to September 30, 1982.

By general consensus the Council determined that the disposition of surplus properties was consistent with the General Plan. On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Mayor Billig, that the Mayor be directed to contact the San Luis Obispo Housing Authority. with first right of refusal for purchase of site No. 1 (water yard) for housing purposes.

POST OFFICE SITE Mayor Billig stated that she had received several complaints from citizens and from members of the Architectural Review Commission with regard to the color that the Post Office adopted for the Post Office site on Madonna Road. She was also given the understanding that the main Post Office at the Marsh Street location may possibly be changed. She wanted to know the Council's feeling on this matter. Councilman Dunin suggested that another letter be sent regarding the City's concerns in this matter. After brief discussion and upon general consensus, Mayor was directed to send another letter expressing City's concerns regarding keeping the Marsh Street office at its present location.

RELATIONSHIP OF CAL POLY /CITY Kamdiz Kashami, Cal Poly foreign student, stated that he had been before Cal Poly representatives and had talked to many other people in the community regarding the lack of housing and the discrimination that he had felt while trying to get housing during the time that he is attending Cal Poly. He felt that the City will not promote growth within the City, however, Cal Poly continues to higher raise the enrol- lment limit. He did not understand this as being good planning and felt that these two agencies should be working more closely together to develop a better solution to the housing problem. Mayor Billig explained that the City cannot dictate to Cal Poly as far as limiting their enrollment, although she was concerned that they were going over their 16,500 student limit.
