the terms of the agreement. He felt.the agreement:sets a.very.poor
precedent for the city. Depositions should have proceeded.as the city
' had no wrong doing to cover up. ..He felt the terms of the agreement were
excessive. The City of San Luis Obispo.was.proper.in selecting the
lowest offer that benefitted the public which:would have provided a
reasonable.transit system.:.

.-advise of the City Attorney and special legal counsel as being a
reasonable resolution.

1. HILLSIDE PLANNING PROGRAM
Toby Ross, Community Development Director, reviewed the Council agenda
report concerning Hillside Planning Program (For detailed information
concerning background, Planning Commission recommendations, and staff
recommendations outlining general hillside.criteria, please.see: file no.
467). He gave a'background summary report explaining that-:the initial
report had presented staff recommendations for -19 hillside areas but in
March of 1982 the Council identified six areas for the Planning Commission
to review, and these were the six that the Council would be reviewing
tonight and discussing at future public hearings. The next hearing was
scheduled for December 7, 1982, and again on January 11, 1983:. He then
reviewed the five program objectives: 1) Urban reserve line; 2) open -
space preservation goals; 3) establishing planning policy before specific
projects were.proposed; 4) identifying the need and establishing:guidelines
for additional planning; and 5) establishing pertinent development
policies and standards for each of the hillside planning areas. The
basic concepts that were being applied were: 1) The urban reserve line;
2) open -space preservation programs; 3) development transfer programs;
4) density transfer programs; 5) minor expansion programs; 6) provision
of services. He reviewed the general hillside standards as recommended
by the Planning Commission and stated that the Council would be requested
to accept the Planning Commission's recommendations with few exceptions.
He then reviewed each of the six sites including the Planning Commission
and staff recommendations. The six sites included: 1) Yancy's Hill /Howard
Johnson's Restaurant area; 2) Luneta Drive area; 3) highschool /hospital
area; 4) Gold Tree area; 5) Southwood Drive area /Alrita Street. In most
cases staff agreed with Planning•Commission recommendations but:.there
were areas where they differed (for recommended'General Plan and zoning
changes, see pages 9 -30 of the report; for individual Planning'Commis-
sion actions for each of the six areas, please review beginning with
page 45)•_ .
After brief discussion and upon general consensus, Council agreed the ,
