C -7 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS - MONTEREY /BROAD STREET PARKING LOT
A. Council considered plans and specifications for "Monterey /Broad
Street Parking Lot ".; City Plan No. E -40; bid estimate $34,970, without.
contingencies.
B. 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. Motion carried, all ayes, Councilman Settle absent.
On motion of Councilwoman Dovey, seconded by Councilman Griffin,,the.:
following resolution was introduced: Resolution No.'5057 (1983 Series),

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.

Council held a public hearing to consider amending the land use element
map of the General Plan to change designation of certain areas from
public /semi- public and an ordinance removing the public facility (PF)
from properties in six areas as follows:
A. 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

'F. '- 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

- *- -;to.asstire compatibility.between existing uses and.potential new
uses.
F. Human Services Center to office with a special consideration
^=;overlay to insure conformance with general plan policies on
_,`public facilities and office locations.
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.

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.

direct staff to initiate the necessary rezonings (4 -0).
