1. PRE - APPLICATION CONCEPT REVIEW - OBISPO PLAZA
The Council held a study session to review a mixed -use project for a 1.6
acre site bounded by Higuera, Court and Monterey Streets and Laird
property; Obispo Plaza Associates, applicant.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, explained that Obispo Associates (Rob
Rossi and John King) have asked the City Council to review their concept
for a 150,000 to 250,000 sq. ft. commercial project on Monterey Street.
A key part of the proposal is to lease the City's parking lot next to
the Anderson Hotel, build ground -level retail space, and provide replace-
ment and new parking in an underground parking garage. He recommended
the Council decide whether to let Obispo Associates proceed or not to
proceed with the design and development of the project. He then outlined
eight additional issues the Council may desire to give direction on: 1)
Use of public land, 2) parking strategy, 3) architectural design
strategy, 4) intensity of the project, 5)land -use mix, 6) procedural
framework, 7) area circulation; and 8) improvements in public areas. He
felt that most of the detailed design and service issues could be
addressed when a schematic development plan had been prepared, until
then, the City should be determining the appropriate basis for negoti-
ating a lease of City -owned property.
Rob Rossi, applicant, stated that they had originally submitted an
application which was unanimously approved by the City Council in
September of 1980 but at this time the principles had changes as well as
the scope of the project which was considerably smaller. He was now
coming back to the Council for conceptual approval of this plan. Obispo
Associates is looking for prospective users for the 150,000 to 200,000
'
sq. ft. project, although nothing has been firmly tied down yet. He
explained that the project is planned to include a mixture of retail
office, entertainment and residential uses the scale and quantity of
space to be provided would be based on the projects economic viability
and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. He continued that
Mann Theatre Corporation, which currently operates the Fremont Theatre,
now owns the site previously occupied by the old Obispo Theatre and has
agreed to become a tenant in the project if it-is economically feasible.
The agreement is predicated on the approval and development of the
project in a timely fashion which would need to take place within the

next six months prior to Mann Theatres coming before the Council on
another development issue. He explained that the City property was a
key component in the ultimate success of the project. Economic reali-
ties, given the cost of capital and the local rental market, make it
necessary that the City's parcel be incorporated at a leased rate
(including the retention of City parking) that is realistic. Favorable
lease terms are the basis of the project's viability and a must if the
development was to proceed.
Councilman Dunin questioned what would be involved with the mixed uses.
He was concerned that with City property being involved, he would not be
interested in this project going forward without a large quality depart-
ment store being included.
Mr. Rossi assured him that they had been in contact with many of the
major department stores, however, it all depends on the financial feasi-
bility as to whether or not one will come in.
Councilman Griffin asked if the project contemplated only replacement
parking or would it also include some of the loss of off - street or
additional parking.
Rob Rossi assured him that the parking structure would include loss of
off - street as well.
John King, applicant, explained that a quality anchored department store
was a priority, however, most department stores are interested in a
large facility, at least 50,000 sq. ft.
Keith Gurnee, representing the applicant, explained that Mann Theatre is
holding on its appeal until July and it was, therefore, critical that
the Council and applicant make a decision with regard to the feasibility
of this project before that date. He would encourage the Council to
answer the two questions that were a part of his letter dated February 5
1) Use of public property. Is the City willing to allow the use of its
parking lots and the air rights over Osos Street as part of the Obispo
Plaza Project. What general considerations and perameters would the
City establish for a lease agreement with Obispo Associates for these
lands and rights. 2) Procedural Framework. Does the Council support
the procedural framework devised by Obispo Associates. Is the Council
prepared to give directions to staff and initiate formation of a commit-
tee with a specific charge to be performed in a specific.time frame.
Councilman Griffin stated that he would like to see at least a schematic
proposal before discussing a lease agreement.
Rob Rossi stated that he would like to see at least a lease intent but
would not expect to actually have a lease signed for another month or
so.
Mayor Billig suggested that the Council attempt to answer Mr. Gurnee's
two questions and suggested a list of procedures to be followed: 1) Get
an appraisal of the property and 2) have the CAO do a marketing schedule
and 3) get a lease agreement within the next three months, but no more
than three months.
Councilman Griffin expressed feeling that the project appeared to be
Very feasible. He would expect the project to be coordinated with the
City's Downtown Parking Structure. He liked the concept of the design 1
and the scale with the mixed -use and felt it had a lot of promise. He
would like to see some consideration of the lease arrangement that would
enhance parking rather than just replace existing spaces.
Councilman Dunin stated he could support the concept mixed -use limited
by the size of the department store, mixed -use being secondary, the
primary being the department store. He would not buy into a "pie -in-
the -sky" approach. He would like to see a firm commitment or at least
intent by a department store so that the City would know who, type and
quality of the store. He would not buy into "just a potential." He did

understand the need to make a decision so that Mann Theatre could
proceed. With the assurance of a department store coming in, he would
also be open to anything else, especially negotiations with regard to
the price of the City -owned land and possibly sacrifice parking at the
expense of giving them more square footage if it was required. He felt
that he could forgive a lot of city requirements if a quality department
store would come into the City.
Councilwoman Dovey explained that she could support the concept. She
liked the mixed -use with residential; this was something they were
always looking for. She was concerned as to the kind of department
store; she felt it had to be quality to answer the needs of the citizens
even though it may not be as large a quality store that would be found
in the Los Angeles or San Francisco area. She did not like to see the
City getting into the real estate business. She would suggest the
option of having the property sold. She would like to see the project
contribute to additional parking solutions. She would like to hear more
possibility of having the property bought rather than leasing it. She
did not like a "tunnel" effect for Osos Street but would suggest the
idea of a restaurant on the overcross with view windows.
Councilman Settle was enthusiastic about the project because this was
something the City could not do with the property. It is in keeping
with the general plan; and would vitalize the downtown. The financial
feasibility is obviously the primary concern as opposed to design. He
would allow the use of City property with air rights. He would not be
opposed to selling the property if feasible. Depending on design, he
might support the closure on Osos Street depending on the uses and the
circulation requirements. He felt the tenant use is important and would
also like to see a large quality department store. With regard to the
lease agreement, he would need more information on this.
Councilman Settle could agree with Mayor Billig's procedure.
Rob Rossi felt that it was important to have a:Councilmember serve on
this committee as there was a.-critical time frame, -and he felt that this
Councilman Dunin stated that he could not support the closure of Osos
Street. The mixed- uses.should be secondary in order to lure a quality
department store, it might be a requirement to give them additional
square footage; and he would not want to be locked into another mixed -
use plan that would prevent this.
Mayor Billig agreed that a quality department store must be included as
a draw for the downtown, a spin -off for other stores and not a duplica-
tion of what the City already has. The project must be in keeping with
the style and design of the adjacent buildings. She would like the City
to work with the applicants for a lease agreement and public parking.
She felt that as long as the public is getting something for City -owned
property, it would not necessarily have to be just monetary benefits but
some non - monetary benefits will be possible. The lease price would
determine its viability. Besides a department store, additional parking
would be another plus, possibly public rooms, open space plazas and
public areas that relate to the scale and mass of the building. She
suggested looking at the mixed -use regarding housing (condominiums) or
consider senior units as a possible trade -off. She felt that the
treatment of Osos Street was crucial; trying to integrate Osos to relate
to the overall circulation was important. She would also not wish it to
appear "tunnel- like" but to allow window viewing so that it would not
seem "cave- like ". With regard to procedure, she felt that a committee
would -be fine as suggested by the applicant; however, she would suggest
the CAO sit on the committee and, rather than a Councilmember, substi-
tute a person from the Public Services Department. She would like to
see an integrated package working on a more defined proposal within the
next few months, the committee to work on the lease agreement setting a
specific date, determine feasibility of underground parking; and do a
marketing study so that a value could be determined for the lease. She
did feel that this would be a tremendous addition to the downtown core.
Councilman Settle could agree with Mayor Billig's procedure.
Rob Rossi felt that it was important to have a:Councilmember serve on
this committee as there was a.-critical time frame, -and he felt that this

would help to expedite any questions or avoid possibly getting off the
track from what the Council was looking for.
Councilman Dunin could also support the Mayor's approach but would
suggest that possibly one Councilmember sit in on some meetings or
simply sit as a liaison but to allow staff to have all negotiating
rights.
Councilmembers Settle, Griffin and Dovey would support the Mayor acting
as a liaison on a committee.'
Upon general consensus, committee was formed to include the City Admini-
strative Officer, a representative of the City Attorney's Office,
Community Development and Public Services Departments with Mayor Billig
to sit in on as many meeting as necessary.
With regard to framework, Councilman Griffin stated that he had no major
problems. He would, however, like the Council to reflect on a schematic
plan before staff got to involved with the lease agreement.
Rob Rossi again reiterated that they would also like to get into the
design phase of it but felt that the economics was the starting place
and had to be addressed first.
Councilman Dunin cautioned that this was a delicate situation, the
timing was critical; and he felt the City should be willing to forego a
lot of other areas if the possibility of a good quality store were
possible.
Mayor Billig summed up the Council's actions and explained that the
committee then would get together as soon as possible, start on a
marketing study, work on the beginnings of a lease, work to the feasi-
bility of underground parking and in the interim the applicant could
also be working on a more definable project.
Councilman Griffin left the meeting at 1:00 p.m.
2. CREEK WIDENING POLICY
Council considered Creek Widening Policy submitted by the City Engineer.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, explained that the creek policy was for
establishing requirements for dedication and improvements of creeks and
waterways within the City. As a basic requirement, staff was asking
that all creek areas be dedicated. Should the three major creeks have
an adopted setback line, established permits, other than a building
permit, would require dedication and either improvement or payment of
fee to the City to help towards the improvement of the creek adjacent to
the developed property. The proposed fee is variable dependent upon the
types of use, the nature of the entitlement, and the amount of flood
protection that the improvement would provide for the property. He then
gave a slide presentation and went through each of the 13 conditions of
the policy.
Upon question by Councilwoman Dovey, Terry Sanville explained that a
density transfer program would be established taking into account
setbacks enforced.
Councilman Dunin suggested that the creek properties could possibly be
zoned differently.
Upon question, Wayne Peterson stated that hundreds of property owners
will be affected, primarily because many of them will be redeveloping
their properties in the downtown area.
Councilman Dunin was concerned that both Engineering and the Planning
staff work together to clarify the zoning and the building issues.

John Ashbaugh, MDW, stated that he had problems with this policy as
written. He felt that people would be forced to obtain variances with
these kinds of setbacks, and he would rather see them able to get a
variance administratively and in some cases not be required to dedicate
any portion of their property.
Rob Rossi asked that if the idea was to simply keep properties along the
creek from flooding, maybe the City could look to other ways besides
requiring flooding improvements, i.e. allowing flood - proofing of the
buildings in lieu of the property dedication.
Keith Gurnee explained that he had a great deal of problems with the
proposed policy. He stated that he recently-built his• home also along
the creek with a variance. If he had to redo his home using this
policy, he would have probably paid an additional $20,000 to have the
work done. The creek would not have been left in its natural habitat,
and he simply did not feel that in all cases the creek needed to be
flood - proofed or widened but could be left in its natural state with
also adequate protection.
With regard to the Item 4, the 50 percent rule, Councilman Dunin stated
that he could not support this at all. He felt the charge should be
tied to benefit derived and not just the physical performance.
Councilwoman Dovey suggested amending the formula to use square footage
as opposed to percentages with possibly requiring a dedicated specific
depth and then the City giving compensation for the additional square
foot.
Upon question by John King, Dave Romero explained that although credit
was not given for a value to the property (creek area), a density
transfer would be allowed.
John King felt that this was questionable as he still had to pay taxes
on this property.
Upon general consensus, Council agreed:to.Councilwoman Dovey's change to
Item 7 to read, "Developers of property on all creeks and waterways
shall be responsible for - improving the creeks to City standards." .
Councilman Settle suggested that the Planning Commission have an oppor-
tunity to review the policy before the Council.took a final action.
Councilman Dunin questioned the policy that a property owner who flood -
proofs his building should also have to pay for creek widening. He did
not feel that this was-very equitable.
Mayor Billig felt that it was important that Council determine what
direction they wished to go, criteria, outline their philosophy and
establish the means to implement it.
Councilwoman Dovey felt that for what was left of developable property
along the creek, those owners should participate in the creek protec-
tion. She felt that people who bought property in more.desirable areas,
i.e. near creeks and on hillsides, should also be willing to pay for
some of the extras that go with it.
Councilman Dunin disagreed and•felt that if the City wished people not
to develop -along the creeks, then the City should have bought all
1
property along the creeks. He felt that the creek was more of a hin-
drance to the property.owner, not a.help; the property owner had no
access to it,,so he felt this was really a benefit for the public more
so than the owner. He did not wish to duplicate those policies followed
in the 70's. He agreed with Mayor:Billig's suggestion that this issue
be dealt with both in a timely manner and also with regard to the City
budgeting for -the improvements, for without this, the entire policy
would be worthless. He would also like to wait until the Nolte and Zone
9,reports had been submitted. He did not feel that the entire burden
for creek improvements.should be placed on the present property owner as

properties which are far removed from.the creeks have been heavily
flooded in the past, and they will also be receiving benefits but at no
cost.
Councilman Settle also would not wish-to adopt this policy until the
Nolte report had been received. He would like to see addressed the
possibility.of a "blanket variance" so far as administration.is con-
cerned. He would like to see input from both the planning staff and
Planning Commission as it relates to land use. He would like to keep
the creeks in their natural state wherever possible. He.would like to
see more mutual cooperation between the property owners and the city. He
would also like to look to other communities with.similar problems, and
he used the methodology of keeping the.creeks_alone.wherever possible.
Mayor Billig agreed with comments made by Councilman Settle. She would
like to establish setbacks and flood -proof areas and not permit building
into those areas. Also, to keep creeks natural where possible and
improve only the areas needing repair making the money stretch as far as
possible. She felt a good clean up maintenance program was imperative.
She would also like to wait until the Nolte report had been received as
well as comments submitted by the planning staff.
Councilman Dunin would suggest that
policy for creek setbacks. He would
possibilities, if any.
3. EDNA -ISLAY SPECIFIC PLAN AND EIR
Council considered:
the CIP address or create a reserve
also like to investigate grant
A. Certification of the final Environmental Impact Report for the Edna -
.Islay Specific Plan; and
B. adoption of the revised Edna -Islay Specific Plan.
Terry Sanville, Senior Planner, explained that the Council had completed
its initial critique of the draft Edna -Islay Specific Plan. Staff-had
then revised the plan to include .those changes authorized by Council and
was now scheduling the final public hearing. He would recommend that
the Council certify the final EIR as meeting the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and the City and State EIR Guide-
lines and further, adopt the Edna -Islay Specific Plan pursuant to
pertinent sections of the California Government Code and the City's
General Plan.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Adele Stern was concerned that language be added.to the Specific Plan
concerning the protection of the hillside and drainage areas as dis-
cussed at earlier meetings. She wanted to be sure that any inclusion
was made now as an additional EIR could not be required at a later date.
Terry Sanville explained where this had already been included as a part
of the plan.
Vic Montgomery, Richmond, Rossi & Montgomery, submitted a letter to the
City Council on three additional issues and urged Council concurrence:
1) Description of Phase 1 of the plan be understood to include the
extension of a temporary waterline (developers expense) to allow for
irrigation and early planting of trees along the railroad noise buffer
area. It would be to the benefit of future residents of the Islay area
to have three to six years of growth for this buffer prior to occupancy.
2) They concurred with the Council's desire to create first home buyer
"affordable" residences capable of accommodating a young family and
capable of moderate expansion to serve a growing family. However,.there
is not means of legislation to this intent. They believe that the idea
could be accomplished but not if the means to the end is torturous.and
frustrating and simply easier to avoid the problems by thinking conven-
tional. Present ordinances in the Specific Plan discourage creativity

by requiring longer, more tedious review procedures than conventional
subdivisions. They would urge the Council look to a more positive
attitude toward "unconventional" development. In item 3 of his letter,
he outlined seven additional items needing clarification as follows:
(Council only discussed three of these issues.)
(A) page 46, paragraph 6 - To enforce provisions that plants will not
shade yard areas of adjacent residences. Rear yard plantings done by
' owners are not subject to City or-developer control.
(B) page 47, paragraph 4, Street Lights -This condition will create
unsafe conditions within the residential neighbors of the Edna -Islay
area. "Would you like to live on a totally unlighted cul -de -sac street ?"
(C) Item A, page 48 - "Landscaping" will create enforcement and inter -
pietation.problems, i.e. most developers submit rear yard landscape
plans, co- enforces violations, the concept of legislating cooperation
among neighbors will not work; and cooperation and education are more
appropriate. Perhaps explanations of solar concepts used in particular
developments contained in homeowner brochures would be more effective
than plans.
(D) Item 2, page 48, Building Design Standards - Does this make space
heating by active solar systems or by thermo mass storage mandatory?
(E) page 49, first item - Solar water heating for spas and hot tubs may
not be cost - effective or any broader view may not conserve resources.
(F) page 49 - Water facilities for outdoor clothes dryers.
Chuck French stated that he could support Mr. Montgomery's comments "and
thanked the staff and the Council for helping to make this a viable
project.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.
Mayor Billig questioned the possibility of the EIR addressing the impact
on schools, possibly requiring a focused approach later on. She was
also concerned if the geological studies had been complete enough. The
Council had been concerned earlier with the gradings, stability, the
depth of the slide areas, etc. She felt the safety problem would be
taken care of when Phase.7 was .completed for Orcutt. She also ques-
tioned the completeness of the hydrological study for the retention
basins and run offs.
Terry Sanville felt that the Specific Plan had addressed the geological
and hydrological studies sufficiently and would feel comfortable with
them being adopted at this point.
Councilman Settle was concerned that access to the Jekel property not be
pursued. He would-support no roadway from the:Edna side to the Jekel
property. He felt that this should be dealt with separately. He could
support the Specific Plan with the suggested changes as outlined by Mr.
Montgomery to include the reduction of the design for Tank Farm Road
from 55 mph. to 45 mph. He could also go along with the installation of
the waterline provided that this was considered temporary and was for
plant growth exclusively. He was unsure how to put additional wording
to protect the schools but felt that could be dealt.with simply by
monitoring.and reporting back.on:occasion.
(G)
Item 5, page 55 - The design of Tank Farm

maximum.
The
City Council only discussed three items,
the buffer area, the lights
for
the cul -de -sacs, and the revisions of the
55 mph. speed limit.
Chuck French stated that he could support Mr. Montgomery's comments "and
thanked the staff and the Council for helping to make this a viable
project.

Councilman Dunin could also support the request.by Mr. Montgomery but he
had a problem with the equestrian facility as presently outlined in the
plan.. He felt that Council's policy was to keep open space for passive
use and this was not the seeming intent if equestrian and pedestrian use
of the property was allowed. He felt that if the Council was going to
support an equestrian facility or equestrian trails in this area, they
should also treat like properties the same and /or require this property
be dedicated as was required of Mr. French's property. He also was
unsupportive of mobile home parks being allowed in the R -2 area.
Terry Sanville.explained that the zoning of the mobile home parks are
comparable and acceptable in an R -2 zone but he explained the difference
between a mobile home park versus an individual mobile home on.a founda-
tion.
The Council upon general consensus would not be supportive of a mobile
home park in this area.
Mayor Billig agreed with - Councilman Dunin that the .equestrian trails
should not be an encouraged use in open space areas.
John Devincenzo, applicant, explained that he had not planned to allow
the trails to be on top of the hill but felt that it was.premature.for
the Council to take an action on this at this time.
After considerable discussion and upon general consensus, Council agreed
that an additional paragraph be added on page 27 under Development
Standards, the fourth paragraph, "The location of design of all equest-
rian and pedestrian trails should be submitted as part of the use - permit
applications. All trails should not cause significant visual or geo-
logic problems or reduce the landscape character of Islay Hill."
Mayor Billig then submitted an additional list of concerns and the
Council took the following actions:
Page 66, Re - Sewer Pumps - Council added an additional. sentence in the
fourth paragraph, the third sentence to read, "If they will be over -
loaded, a 604 -A report.to be submitted prior to the problem being fixed
or before more housing or commercial uses are built in this part of town
with the developer to participate in the cost." . .
Page 24, Land Use and Development Standards - add to the second sentence
of the paragraph, "This plan and the open space easement will allow
limited livestock grazing and - equestrian /pedestrian and public utility
uses on the lower more suitable slopes of Islay Hill generally below the
brush line or the 400 ft. elevation, whichever is lower, .while prohib-
iting:"
Page 66, Proposed Service-Guidelines,-paragraph four, third sentence,
revised to read as follows:- "If -they will be overloaded, a 604 -A report
to be submitted prior to being fixed or before any more.housing or.
commercial uses are built in this part of town with developer to parti-
cipate in the cost."
Page 65, Background Information, third paragraph, the last three sen-
tences be deleted as follows: "The city's sewage treatment plant can
now serve about.42,000 people but will be enlarged..in the near.future to
serve up to 50,000 people. If all of the land within the city (includ-
ing the Edna -Islay neighborhood) is developed as shown on the city's
general plan, the sewer plant could be overloaded. However, exactly
when or if this might happen cannot be answered at this time."
Creek Sedimentation - a sentence to be added to be clear.that it is the
responsibility of the property owner and not the city for the mainten-
ance of sedimentation basins. (During construction phase, the developer
to be responsible and after construction, to be the responsibility of
the property owner.)
