A. HOUSING AUTHORITY STATUS REPORT
Steve Nelson, Chairman of City's Housing Authority, gave a status report
of the current Housing Authority projects in the City: 1);South Higuera
Street - This project was started in 1978; finished in 1982, and donsists
of 15 units dedicated for-low-income residences; 2) the Housing Authority
had received allocation for some additional units but had been unable to
do anything with it. Rich Chubon, Director of Housing Authority, had
been successful at having the funds which were earmarked for development
funds made eligible for acquisition use, and they are in the process of
obtaining 17 additional apartments in the City already existing on
Southwood, Harris, Upham, and Royal Way; 3) another allocation from HUD
for 20 units at Toro and Islay. They would hope to break ground in
March to be ready in December. This brings a total of 120 units that
were owned by the Housing Authority in 1982 and will be a total of 172
by the time the Toro and Islay development is completed. They have also
received a grant of $250,000 for updating and modernizing, with specific
emphasis on energy conservation. This will be significant in order to
help maintain the high quality that the Housing Authority presently has.
Another ongoing project, known as the Park Hotel, has all previous
tenants vacated. It had been delayed for several reasons. Currently,
determination is being made about whether this building has historical
significance.
Councilman Dunin stated he was concerned that the senior citizens not be
neglected and questioned what plans the Housing Authority has for
additional senior citizen projects. He also questioned what percentage
of people that are located in these units are from San Luis Obispo and
how many from other areas.
Mr. Nelson explained that most of the funds offered by HUD are
restricted for the purpose of families. Housing Commissioners too were
concerned for the senior citizens and have tried every angle they could
to allow the seniors as tenants. Due to the long waiting list for the
low- income housing, most of the tenants that eventually move in have
lived in the City for about four years. He felt approximately 7.0 '
percent that moved in were residents; about 25 pecent from around :the
County; and another five percent from out of the area.
Rich Chubon explained that a few units could be used for the elderly.
These were one bedroom units and providing no couple qualified for the
unit, it could be placed with an elderly tenant. A grant application
has been submitted for 20 units to be used for elderly but it was highly
unlikely that these funds would come through.

Charles Nelson, 1689 Crestview Drive and a property owner to the west of

did not see where the City would derive any great benefit either.He
therefore, urged the Council to deny the abandonment.
Enrico Bongio, resident on Sierra Way, spoke in opposition to the
proposed abandonment. He did not feel it was an advantage to the City
1 and was concerned that it could effect possible development in the
westerly direction. He would urge the Council to deny the abandonment.

would no longer be required to maintain the subject property.

following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 5043 (1983 Series),

of a decision by the Architectural Review Commission regarding placement
of sign located at 1136 Carmel Street (Scrubby and Lloyd's Restaurant).
Toby Ross, Community Development Director, reviewed the Council agenda
report (file no. 407) and explained that..the ARC had reviewed the sign
proposal for the Scrubby and Lloyd's Restaurant. The Commission voted
to approve the sign on the'conditions that it be mounted'on the roof and
that the other existing roof sign be painted out. Staff was recommending
.that:Council deny-the applicant's appeal and uphold,the approval of the
Architectural Review Commission by adopting the resolution with findings.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Craig Carlstrom, representing Scrubby and Lloyd's Restaurant, admitted
thav although °the sign was non - conforming, he felt it.could be brought
into - conformance. His primary concerns were the aesthetics . and the
cost - effectiveness of the placement of the sign. He did not feel the
ARC had been consistent in its rulings and that the Commission was torn
in it's decision and he would urge Council's support of the appeal.
Russ Johnson, San Luis Obispo,,urged the Council to support the appeal
of Scrubby and Lloyd's.

Councilman-.Griffin, to uphold the appeal to approve .the applicant's
- .,.request.without prejudice.as.to:the Architectural Review Commission's
- decision.
Councilman Dunin, felt the sign was significant for historical purposes
but would primarly be more beneficial to city residents than to tourists.
He 'did feel the sign was very.difficult to see for tourists and should
be left on top of the roof. -•
Councilwoman Dovey stated she could support the appeal.
Councilman Settle stated he -could agree to support the appeal although
normally he would prefer sending it back to the previous review body.
Mayor Billig stated she could.not.support,the appeal. She would prefer

could be setting -a bad precedent for the future and he would recommend

to-the ARC and should,be supported.

mendation the Council adopt the resolution approving the amended.agree-
ment with the Salvation Army to provide for an additional $5,000 for

approval as precedence for a higher budget approval.in fiscal year 1983.

Councilman Dunin stressed to the HRC and staff that Council was not
prepared to be approving monies for individuals living out of town. He
was concerned primarily with helping our own.

the dollars given to deal with those people living.in our area.

10. SOUTH BROAD STREET ANNEXATION
Council considered a Planning.Commission' recommendation for possible
annexation.of the United Parcel Service facility and other properties in
the vicinity of South Broad Street, Capitolio Way, Sacramento Drive and
Industrial Way.
Toby:•Ross, Community Development Director, reviewed the Council agenda
report (file no. 414) with recommended action that Council should
express support for annexation of the larger area but should take no
other.action at this time. The Council should encourage UPS to initiate
annexation through LAFCO. If the City were to receive annexation
referral from LAFCO for one property,in the area, it should be recommended
to LAFCO that a larger contiguous area be annexed. An annexation
proposal for one property north of Industrial Way should trigger consid-
eration of the whole area bounded by.Capitolio Way,•Sacramento Drive,
Industrial Way:and Broad Street. The City should,recommend conditions
of. annexation for.any:.proposals: filed with LAFCO. Conditions.would
include prezoning, zoning which takes effect upon annexation, consistent
with the City's General Plan and any special fees and improvements which
might be warranted. Basically, it was to-accept-the Planning Commission
recommendation, which was to take no action other than to encourage
eventual annexation of the whole area.
Councilman Griffin questioned if the report accurately reflected the
concerns for evaluating possible annexation.
Toby Ross stated that it did.
Mayor Billig asked for public input.
i
Pat Gerety, representing the Planning Commission, clarified recent
Planning•Commission minutes that stated the Council should "encourage"
annexation. _ i` stated the Planning Commission did not necessarily mean
.to.-encourage-but.that it was simply:an option available.
Terry Simons questioned if the other property owners, namely Williams
Bros. Market, had expressed interest.in coming into the City., .
Toby;Ross, responded they indicated interest only if the rezoning for
that area was approved.
Don Smith, Vista Lago, was concerned with any annexation due to the fact
that he felt the City did not have the water available.-to annex.additional
properties. Additional information should be provided prior to any
decision being reached.
On motion of:Councilman Griffin,.seconded by Councilwoman Dovey, to
reject -the recommended action,on the basis.that the:•proposed annexation
was not consistent with long standing City policies.
Councilman Dunin stated the City did not have a- long standing policy in
his opinion. He was concerned about the adjacent properties already
using City services. He felt the City would stagnate if eventual
annexation was not encouraged'.., He felt the Council needed to start
addressing "this matter- immediately. He took exception to the statement
that there was.a shortage of water and there was no documentation to
justify that there was a shortage.
City Council Minutes -
Tuesday, February 1, 1983 - 7:00 p.m.
Page 10
Councilman'Settle supported the applicant initiating the annexation
procedures. The area considered should•be as recommended by staff. We
should not encourage or discourage, in his opinion, annexation but let
the applicant decide if it was going to be cost - effective and,let him
take the initiative. The intensity of the use should also be considered.
Councilman Griffin stated he did not feel the report adequately reflected
any concerns and why should the City be positioned until the-benefits to
the City are made known. He wanted to see specific impacts and would
like to see an annexation strategy worked out between the City.-and the
County, including a sphere of influence, prior to making a final deter-
mination. I • `'
Councilman Settle stated he could support the motion with an amendment
that it was due to insufficient data,' information and evaluation:for the
Council to -make a responsible decision.
Councilman Dunin stated that he could still not support this action
especially -in light of-the "long-standing City policy" portion.,-
Mayoi Billig agreed that the program needed to be mutually agreeable and
needed to be a joint effort between the City and-County on annexation
strategy. Also, strategic planning was coming to.the Council.-.this
spring, and we might wish to wait until after that consideration:
Councilman Griffin amended the motion to state that no action -be.,taken
on the Planning Commission.recommendation and the position of -:the City
is that annexation proposals on the periphery should be considered by
LAFCO-on -the basis of a strategic planning program jointly established
between the City and the County.
After considerable discussion it was moved by Councilman Griffin,
seconded by Councilwoman Dovey, to reject the Planning Commission
recommendation.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Griffin, Dovey, Settle and Mayor Billig

12. UTILITY SERVICES OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS
Council considered an ordinance prohibiting the extension of water and
sewer services for private use outside of the City limits.
Mayor Billig reviewed for the Council the ordinance provisions. The
thrust of her concerns.have been the current.and future.impacts on City
residents of premature or ill- conceived projects approved by the County
on the City's periphery. Past as well as recently approved projects
have created serious potential health and safety problems for the City
'and' its..residents.relating to waste disposal system failures, inadequate
fire protection; water quality control,. questionable grading, erosion,
and runoff. She wanted a clear message sent to agencies that the City
would not be supportive of coming -to their rescue with water.
-Councilman Settle supported this as being a.positive.effort_ and could
support the ordinance.
Councilman Dunin stated he would support the ordinance as it is a
standing policy.
.After brief discussion and.-on motion of Councilman Settle,:seconded by
,Councilman Griffin,. the following ordinance was introduced: Ordinance
No:.•951 (1983 Series), an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo
