WEED ABATEMENT ASSESSMENTS Council held a public hearing to consider a resolution confirming liens upon real property parcels of weed abatement assessments for costs of destroying or removing weeds and debris.

Councilman Dunin was concerned the Fire Department was changing suffi- cient fees to cover overhead as he did not feel that the City.should be in the business of removing weeds and there should be ample encourage- ment that the property owner would see to it that the weeds be removed himself. Mike Dolder, Fire Chief, stated the Fire Department was keeping an account of this year's expenses and would be able to report back on whether or not the fees were appropriate. Councilmembers Dovey and Settle agreed that citizens might look at the Fire Department's weed abatement fees as being a cost savings.

APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION UP0898 -A Council held a public hearing to consider an:appeal by Phi Sigma Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and Phi Sigma Zeta House Corporation of a Planning Commission decision denying modification to their conditional Use Permit of condition nos. 16, 17, 19, 20 and 21, located at 1617 Santa Rosa Street. Geoff Grote;.Assistant Administrative Officer, and the previous Interim Community Development Director, briefly reviewed the Council agenda report (File,No. 407) recommending Council approve the enclosed resolu- tion which granted in part the appeal on conditions 17, 19 and 20 and denied in part the appeal on conditions 16 and 21. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. Randy Bullock, representing the Planning Commission, stated that the Commission's attempt at revising the conditions were in an effort to standardize conditions for future applications on all housing, not just fraternities. He reviewed the Commission's thinking on each of the conditions and explained that if the Council did not uphold the Planning Commissions recommendations, staff would be required to revise other permits concerning similar conditions of 17, 18, 19 and 20. .Further, the added condition would not be more restrictive in nature but rather allow more flexibility. Additionally, it would not be a very good bargaining point if the applicant had to.always agree with the Planning Commission on any suggested condition changes. City Council Minutes Tuesday, August 3, 1982 - 7:00 p.m. Page 7 Jon Jenkins, representing the appellant, stated he was available for any questions.' He had reached agreement with staff on the recommended changes. He felt that the house, as it has been there for two years, had a very good record. He reiterated that they were trying to be good neighbors, they had improved the house, and he would urge Council's support. Roy Hanff stated that he had attended the Planning Commission when they had discussed this appeal. He paraphrased one of the Commissioner's points, who remarked -that, "I am sick and tired of fraternity houses in this City ". He felt that this was an uncalled for remark and he would like to see the Council address the attitude of this Planning Commissioner. Further, he felt that there was enough burden on the fraternities and "if you're going to put these type of burdens there, you should also put like burdens on the developer." Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Griffin stated: 1) he could support condition 16 as recommended by the staff and appellant; 2) he would reword condition 17 to read, "Upon reasonable cause to believe that there has been a failure to comply with any condition with this use permit the Planning Commission shall reconsider remedial action including revocation pursuant to section 9204.7 B2 of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code. "; 3) leave condition 19 as recommended by staff; 4) condition 20 he agreed to delete as recommended by staff; 5) condition 21 he recommended amending the last paragraph by deleting the last sentence in its entirety and adding as a clause to the first sentence: "in accordance with a complaint review process established between the City, the Infraternity Council. and Panhellenic Council." Councilman Dunin agreed with condition 16 as recommended by staff. He could support condition 17 as recommended by the Planning Commission. Condition 19 he could approve as recommended by staff. He disagreed with condition 20 as recommended by staff and would support the Planning Commission recommendation that, "No outdoor use shall take place between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. ". He felt that any activity connected with water usage is noisy and would disturb the tranquility of the neighborhood. He could support condition 21 as reworded by Councilman Griffin. Councilwoman Dovey agreed with staff recommended condition 16, the revised wording submitted by Councilman Griffin for condition 17, staff recommendation of condition 19 and the revised wording proposed by Councilman Griffin for condition 21. She would leave- condition'20 as recommended by staff as it is implied that it would be illegal to do otherwise. She would have a problem with applying conditions retro- actively but would support the Planning Commissions newly adopted conditions for future use permits. Councilman Settle could agree with the staff recommendations and condi- tions suggested by Councilman Griffin of condition 21 because he was concerned that the Planning Commission might feel they could unilater- ally make changes without the consent of the applicant which he was not sure would be legal. Councilwoman Dovey suggested referring condition 17 back to staff and to bring this back as a separate item possibly as an amendment to the ordinance. Toby Ross, Community Development Director, felt it would be inappro- priate to bring back an ordinance amendment as he felt it could be dealt with on a case by case basis. Mayor Billig agreed to leave condition 17 as it was. City Council Minutes Tuesday, August 3, 1982 - 7:00 p.m. Page 8 Councilman Griffin suggested additional wording change to condition 17 to read, "Failure to comply with this use permit may be grounds for revocation pursuant to section 9204.7 (B) (2) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code." (:- After brief discussion it was moved by Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilwoman Dovey, to adopt the following resolution: 'Resolution No. 4930 (1982 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis ' Obispo approving Use Permit No. U0898 as recommended by staff, with additional amendments to conditions No. 17 and 21 as revised by Councilman Griffin and changing the language in the third WHEREAS as recommended by Councilwoman Dovey.

The last paragraph to read, "When a lot line adjustment is for the purpose of correcting a survey or recording error no improvement conditions may be required.'"

DEMOLITION ORDINANCE CHANGES Toby Ross reviewed the staff report (File No. 426) of a request by staff that Council direct staff to prepare a demolition ordinance amendment to allow foundations to remain following demolition in certain circumstances. Councilwoman Dovey suggested that some criteria be established to define, "certain circumstances" and "foundations and /or slab" and this be included in the amended ordinance. Councilman Griffin stated he would like to see: 1) a tentative summary plan for redevelopment and a time schedule; 2) assurance that the property would be maintained in a clear and orderly fashion; 3) if actual redevelopment did not occur in the scheduled time, the owner would need to apply for an extension or have the foundation removed.

Councilman Griffin questioned what the downtown merchants feelings were of the discontinuance of the shoppers special. Dave Elliott, Public Services Assistant,.stated they had received negative response by the merchants and it was the negative reaction to the shoppers' special that promoted staff's recommended discontinuance of it. Councilman Griffin suggested amended wording to the resolution to give the public sufficient time to be made aware of the discontinuance rather than making it effective immediately. 1 [I �I City Council Minutes Tuesday, August 3, 1982 - 7:00 p.m..
