1. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION - PARKING
Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by.the Business
Improvement Area Parking Committee of a decision by the Planning Com-
mission denying request to allow a 93 -space city parking lot located at
668 Marsh Street; C -C zone.
Toby,Ross, Community Development Director, briefly reviewed the Council
agenda report (file no. 554) and stated the•Planning Commission•had
denied the use permit on January 12, 1983, and the B.I.A. was: appealing
that denial. Staff has attempted to address several of the concerns by
the Planning Commission which was included in the resolution to uphold
the appeal approving the use permit U1076 subject to five findings and
three conditions. He stated the ARC also had concerns primarily with

providing access to adjacent businesses, relocation of handicapped
spaces to provide more convenient walkways and revision of landscaping
plans to provide more dense screening at street frontages and use of
different types of trees.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Jack:Whitehouse, 1135 Osos Street,Chairman of the Board of Directors for
the B:I:A. and representing the Board on the:appeal, introduced other
members of the Board. •Reviewing'the'parking plan, he felt the plan had
beeri-a well 'thought-out plan'based on a comprehensive study of the
issues. It was a complex issue. He did not feel the solution was
necessarily perfect but it was the beginning of addressing the parking
problem and the proposal was a viable solution.
Don Patrick felt it was absolutely essential to the downtown that the
parking situation be solved. He felt the plan would be helping to
maintain economic stability, which was the number one concern. He
reviewed a recent retail study showing that sales were down from 49.1%
to 38.4% in just a. few years. This was not due to a shift of population
but ;he felt-it was directly related to..the parking problem and the
frustration of parkers.
John French, 1160 Marsh Street', ;spoke in support of the parking plan
urging the Council to uphold the appeal.
Penny Rappa, 1435 Broad Street and a Planning Commissioner, urged denial
of :the appeal.and.asked : the,Council : to uphold the-Planning-Commission's
recommendation. -She felt the parking needs were important but the
appeal:should be reviewed on the merits'of.this particular use permit
and location, which she,did not think appropriate. The property was too
valuable to be used as a surface parking lot and the circulation was
poor. She was not opposed to & parking structure but she was opposed to
this location. She clarified that access was not the primary reason for
her voting against the project.
William Howard, 835 Del Rio and a Planning Commissioner, stated -his
primary concern had been access. This had now been addressed by staff,
and he could support approval of the plan. i � . .
Tom - Priest; 738 Higuera Streer and representing the Architectural Review
Commission, requested that if the Council would decide to uphold the
appeal, the Council should give specific direction with regard to the
number of- automobiles located and the landscaping along Marsh and in
front,of Dick's Office Machines. .

Mayor'Bi•llig declared the:public hearing-closed..,
Councilman Settle stated he appreciated the efforts by CPAC and other
advisory bodies. He felt all the issues had surfaced but felt the
project had changed considerably since the Planning Commission had last
Councilman Dunin stated this has been a long- standing project, and had
been a long process in order to get complete input from all interested
citizens: ' The location has been well-established as being the most
logical, and .he-could support it.. He felt the plan addressed the wishes
of the public because it was near the downtown core. He did not feel
displacement of some of the'businesses was a problem. Only one business
was'-really being affected and that was a non - conforming use.: -Both the
General Plan and the Downtown Specific,Plan addressed.the.problem of
circulation and parking. The viability of the downtown governs the
economic stability, and he felt it -was the Council's duty to act on it
without delay. 'He felt the design problems had been resolved by the
Design Review Board. He made mention of the fact that private enterprise
had been contacted initially to determine the viability of it being done
by an organization or agency other than the city.: This was not a viable
alternative. The parking shortage has been well - established; he would,
therefore, urge .support of the plan:upholding.the.;appeal and direct
staff to proceed with the project.
Councilman Settle stated he appreciated the efforts by CPAC and other
advisory bodies. He felt all the issues had surfaced but felt the
project had changed considerably since the Planning Commission had last

reviewed it.. He felt many of the issues.had been resolved.. His:•primary
concerns were location, access and:investment by the city.. When the
protest hearing was held many of these items would be:further;explored.
He would still like to have a better handle on the financing-. He stated
that although he was supportive of the parking structure and a parking
program, he had not had an opportunity to discuss some of the issues
raised by the various advisory bodies. He would prefer to have a
decision made on the parking structure.prior to making a•decision on the
surface.lot. He could support continuing this item for six months after
the parking structure issues had been resolved. In the meantime we
could look at additional details, talk with other advisory bodies,
especially as to the eminent•domain.issue involved.
Councilman Griffin stated that.after reviewing the minutes of.the:
Planning Commission, he felt there was a certain lack of understanding
by the Commission. The major objectives have.been overcome-j.-and he
would be willing to sustain the appeal.:: .
Councilwoman Dovey- stated she too was anxious to move on this.' 'She felt
it might riot be necessarily the best location but would meet.the, needs,
and she has yet:to.see a better solution than that presently proposed.
Mayor Billig agreed. She felt the ARC had made some good comments and
felt many of the concerns of both the ARC. and the Planning Commission
had been incorporated in the resolution before them this evening.. She
could support the appeal by the B.I.A.
On motion of-Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilman Dunin',- the
following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 5052 (1983 Series),

10. REPORT BY HRC CHAIRMAN
Presentation made by John Carsel, Chairman of the Human Relations
Commission concerning policy regarding homeless residents.
John Carsel, briefly reviewed the homeless situation and stated that
there was no longer a crisis in the city; however, this might not be
true of the County. He was asking for Council direction as to coordinat-
ing with the County concerning a shelter facility. Upon question he
stated the city's HRC and the south County's HRC had brainstormed the
alternative of a coordinated effort with the County and.looking at the
problems and various alternatives. They had, however, not contacted the
County at this time.
After brief discussion'it was moved by Councilman Settle, seconded by
Councilman Dunin, to support the staff - recommended action no. 5 to
.contact -.the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, the County
Administrative Officer, and the Department of Social Services for
arialysis and determination as to the degree of the problem of homeless
individuals and families. -
Councilwoman Dovey stated she was very appreciative of the students
bringing this kind of project to the Council. She felt the city was
lucky to have this kind of enthusiasm and would be supportive of the
plan. She would encourage the Mayor to continue contacting service
groups for possible. participation.
Councilman- Dunin-agreed with-'comments made by fellow Councilmembers but
reminded Council that a similar project undertaken by some Poly students
was left incomplete and required the city to finish the project. He
would urge these students try to establish some continuity should they
heave and be unable to; finish the project. He.stated he,had talked with
ex- councilmember Jessie Norris during,the break who had expressed
concerns about pedestrian safety. He, suggested a pedestrian underpass
as opposed to.a traffic overpass for a pedestrian walkway be looked at
as an alternative to protect individuals trying to get across the
highway.
Councilman Griffin stated he was supportive of the concept, and he would
like to see the financing reviewed during budget deliberations. He
suggested the Mayor be.directed to.write•letters of,appreciation to the
students and Mr. Dale Sutcliff who had been working as an advisor with
the State and City staff for help on this project.
Councilman Settle requested that the financing be looked at.during the
budget hearing.
Jess Norris spoke in support of the proposed project.. He.was concerned
with some hazards that existed such as jaywalking. He suggested the
project could be landscaped with a berm and fence to protect jaywalkers.
He: -would like to see.phase I exchanged with phase II as suggested by
Councilman Settle. He also suggested that the phase be broken at the
point of the city boundary line. He volunteered to work with staff to
help recruit additional individuals for participation.
Councilman Dunin suggested the Mayor work with Mr. Norris as the official
liaison for getting contributions.
Upon general consensus Council supported the proposal in concept with
participation to be solicited by student groups,.service clubs; implemen-
tation and city financial participation to be determined at budget
discussion and hearings. (5 -0)
