Council considered a resolution approving an agreement between the City and G. D. and Nell Spradlin for $6,600 for portion of.construction of parking lot at Monterey and Broad Streets. Councilman Dunin was opposed to extending the mission =style sidewalk.. - across the Monterey Street frontage. The parking lot had been initially purchased as an extension of the Mission plaza and as it would eventually go back for this purpose, he could not justify the.expense for mission - style sidewalk. Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, explained that this was a condi- tion of the use permit granted by the Planning Commission and in September the Council had been notified that they could have appealed the mission - style sidewalk requirement. As he had heard nothing from the Council to the contrary, the condition had not been appealed. It would add an additional $5,000 to the project assuming a new standard driveway-be. installed at the entry of Monterey Street. After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilwoman Dovey, seconded by Councilman Griffin, to approve the plans and specifications and author- ize staff to call for bids subject to staff seeking additional alterna- tives concerning the issue of the mission -style sidewalks as required by the use permit.

City Council Minutes Tuesday, March 1, 1983 - 7:00 p.m. Pagel Councilwoman Dovey expressed concern that even though the..existing. house was not considered historically significant, it was an older home and the Council's policy -had expressed that if it was possible to move'this type of building and to give to somebody else or locate it somewhere else in the City, every attempt should be made to do so. She also:had a problem with the guest parking with regard to the spaces being tandem. She would also like to see solar energy conservation and problems with sound proofing and noise mitigation addressed. Toby Ross explained that an initial study had been made as to the historical significance of the house: He felt the structural condition would not permit it being moved but staff could review it again:- With: regard to the question of parking, this had also been referred back to ARC. As to solar energy, - infill parcels were difficult, but it could-be reviewed again as well. . Councilman Griffin was concerned about the tenant security in the passageways..! Toby Ross agreed that this was a real problem as the units had been designed for the elderly. Councilman Dunin stated he could support the project. He did not feel the house was historically significant.- His definition of significance would be "great" significance of'which this was not. If,it could be., moved, -he could'support it but'he!highly. doubted it could.withstand..the move. He didn-'t see the tandem parking as being a problem as this.was . an infill area and would end up with too much asphalt if additional parking was required, limiting the landscaping as well. Mayor- - Billig stated she could support the project; however, her concerns were that the design of the project - should be in keeping with the other: overall older neighborhoods. She would like to see the ARC review this. As to the existing building itself, if`at all possible, she would rather not see it demolished but be utilized by somebody else. Regarding the parking issue, she felt there was a high street traffic flow and a lack of available street parking. City cannot assume that only elderly would be living there. She agreed-that-the energy conservation.issue should- - be addressed as well as noise attenuation.- She suggested staff look.-at either the layout of the building or use of building materials to.;, mitigate this. Councilman Dunin stated the ARC should also look at the cost involved in these mitigation efforts if the Council were to refer it back to them. After brief discussion and upon general consensus, Council concurred with the following added conditions: 11. "Subdivider shall make a diligent effort to have the existing structure relocated, including notifying groups and individuals who may be interested in relocating the structure. -The structure shall be available for relocation at no cost but the subdivider shall have no obligation to share,in the cost of-actually moving the._. structure. 12. Subdivider shall make a diligent effort, to the satisfaction of the Architectural Review Commission, to incorporate solar energy and energy conservation measures into the project'." On motion :of Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilwoman Dovey, the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 5067 (1983 Series), a resolution of the Council of-the City'of San Luis Obispo granting tentative map approval for Tract 1096 as amended.

Sierra'Vista Hospital site and 65 Deseret Place from Public Facility ' to Office zone. B. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa site from Public Facility to Central - Commercial Historical Overlay District - Special Consider- ation zone.

'- Human Services Center complex at 3190, 3196j.3220 and 3230 South Higuera Street from Public Facility - Special Considerations to Office - Special Considerations zone. Toby Robs, Community Development Director, reviewed the Council agenda report (file no. 463) and stated it was staff's and Planning Commission recommendations as follows: 1) No recommendation on the Public /Semi- Public land use element land -use designation as a general category regarding city to eventually eliminate the PF zone. 2) -There be no changes to the purpose or.allowed uses in the PF zone- - no action at this time because if the first recommendation is followed, the zone will no longer exist. 3)-'The land•use.element designation and zones of these areas be: A. Sierra Vista Hospital to office. 'B.' The Mission to retail commercial general plan designation and _ central.commercial.zone with special considerations and historical and architectural preservation zone to preserve the character of the site.

Staff recommended additional actions necessary to enable staff to proceed with the recommended action if Council approved it. (see staff report 463). Mr:. Ross explained the.Planning Commission.recommended the PF zone be eliminated as it should not be,based on ownership but rather ' land use. Councilwoman Dovey suggested various changes: 1) with regard to mortuaries in Section 9202.1,•subsection'2b., any mortuary has a use-permit by the Planning`.Commission; ^that statement is.already in the, zoning regulations and conflicts with::what -staff -'±6'•plaiinin'g to, add; 2). under (c) add the word "City" so that all governmental agencies would be taken care of automatically; 3) under (d) Public Facility, add "parks and parking facilities ". There cannot be private ones and the use is not necessarily a governmental use. She stated zoos and stadiums should be included as these could also be private facilities, not always public. City Council Minutes Tuesday, March 1, 1983 - 7:00 p.m. Page9 Additionally, under the matrix pg..41!of the draft.where it talks..about public assembly facilities, for clarification purposes it should read "public assembly" facilities; not public meaning governmental owned • facilities. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. No one spoke for or against the suggested changes. Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed. Council discussed the elimination of the PF zone. Councilman Griffin stated that as long as the PF zone was well defined, it made no difference if it remained. Councilman Dunin felt initially that the PF zone had caused a great deal of confusion but had since been clarified. He could, therefore,'support the elimination of the PF. Councilwoman Dovey also supported the elimination of the PF zone providing that definitive language be included. Mayor Billig agreed with Councilman Dunin. She did not feel the PF zone could cause any more problems and would be-in support of its elimination. Upon general consensus, Council agreed to eliminate the PF.zone and direct staff to initiate the necessary rezonings (4 -0). Council took each item separately on the actual rezonings and reached consensus as follows: A. Sierra Vista Hospital site and 65 Deseret-Place from Public Facility to Office zone (4 =0 -1). B.
