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.

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

tain a beautiful community.

chairperson of the Planning Commission for the past two years. 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. (2) Should
the Council seek an appointment to balance the community? Yes, the
community has several critical issues facing them such as the mall
and the CMC. 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. He would like to see more noon study ses-
sions and less evening meetings.
Louise Matheny stated that she was speaking not as a personal friend,
but as her experience as a Personnel Director stated that Mr. Griffin
had an excellent resume' and in working with him feels that he would
do well for the Council. She stated his affiliations were many and
impressive. He had taken on many controvertial issues that most people
would shy away from.

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.

6. 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.

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

an ordinance amending the 1976 Election Campaign Regulations Ordinance,
San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Article II, Chapter 8 (continued from 9/1/81).
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

10. 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

City Council Minutes

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.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:

On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Mayor Billig, the following

ment between the City and Bobby Kober for the extension of operation of
the golf course concessions through September 30, 1982.

2. 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. She requested that
staff investigate this further and report back to the City Council.
She agreed that there should be a better communication between Cal
Poly and the City and questioned why the University did not have a
University /City Committee as did all other universities within the
state of California.
Councilman Dunin commented that the housing shortage is an overall
probelm and that this was the first time that he was of under the under-
standing that there was any kind of prejudice against foreigners. He
did not feel that this was the case but rather the housing was a very
real probelm for many people in the community. Mr. Dunin agreed to
talk to the Human Relations Commission and see if they could help Mr.
Kashami in trying to locate housing.
After brief discussion it was agreed that a future study session be
set to discuss the possibility of forming a University /City committee.
10:15 p.m. Mayor Billig adjourned to Close Session to discuss Litiga-
tion Matters. 10:45 p.m. City Council reconvened, all Councilmembers
present.
Mayor Billig asked the Council's feelings as to their desire of working
with the Southern Pacific Railroad and the possibility of developing
the Orcutt Road overpass. The City Council supported Mayor Billig's
working with the Southern Pacific Railroad.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor
Billig adjourned the meeting at 10:50 p.m. to Friday, September 18, 1981,
at 9:00 a.m.
APPROVED BY COUNCIL: 10/6/81
