1. SPHERE OF INFLUENCE (File 41469)
Council continued its review of- LAFCO's Sphere of Influence Study (continued
from 7/2/84).
Terry Sanville, Principal Planner, reviewed the Council agenda report and
explained 5 optional strategies the Council might wish to pursue as follows:
1) follow current City General Plan policy; 2) modify City General Plan
strategy; 3) modify LAFCO's sphere strategy; -4) expand LAFCO's sphere
strategy and 5) support LAFCO's sphere study as initially drafted.
Councilman Griffin hoped to encourage that public input be taken at each
discussion by Council.
After brief discussion Council concurred that staff be directed to heavily
advertise each meeting that the Sphere of Influence Study would be.in•'front
of Council and that public input be taken at each meeting (5 -0).
Councilman Settle stated that he could support options 1,2 & 3, in. that•'
order and that he would prefer option 1 which he hoped would not be a
problem for LAFCO in trying to separate the Sphere of Influence lines
versus service lines.
Councilman Griffin urged that Council would make their selection with as
much unanimity as possible. He would hope that the City's recommendation
would show considerable respect towards what LAFCO's mission is and that
the recommendation would reflect the opportunity of the City being able to
restate its General Plan. He did feel that one shortcoming of the study
was that it did not address the Open Space Element as the City did. He
felt this could be addressed with the recommendation for strategies 1'6t 2.
He was afraid that the sphere of service line as currently recommended by
LAFCO might set false expectations down the road. He would,-therefore, be
supportive of strategies 1, 2 & 3, in that order.

Page 2
Councilman Settle agreed with Councilman Griffin. He also wished it be
clear in report sent to LAFCO, that the study's figures concerning population
and water be corrected.
Councilman Dunin stated his primary concern was with the approach to the
service line and, although, he was supportive of strategy #1, he felt it
might be the most favorable for the City-arid yet the most difficult for
acceptance by LAFCO.
Councilwoman Dovey agreed with strategies 1., 2 & 3.'s approach and would
hope the City's report would be as constructive as possible in explaining
the City's position.
On motion of Councilman Griffin,' seconded by Councilman Settle, to support
strategy #1, with strategy #2 as a fall -back with continued discussion of
this item to August 14, 1984 (5 -0).
Terry Simons requested that the Council consider as a third element and
that is the County's General Plan. He felt that an option #4 would be
closer to the County's plan with their LUO and LUA and it might, therefore,
be easier for LAFCO to incorporate the City's recommendations.
Toby Ross, Community Development-Director, stated that one difficulty with
the option, was that LAFCO would only have one meeting to deal with it,
which would make it extremely difficult for them to reach a clear understand-
ing and recommendation.
6:50 p.m. Mayor Billig declared -,a zecess:
7:05 p.m. City Council reconvened, all Councilmembers present.

2. MOBILEHOME RENT STABILIZATION (File 41428)
Council held a public hearing to consider an ordinance which would amend
the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Regulations to establish an adjusted base
space rent'(continued from 7/17/84).
Roger Picquet, City Attorney, reviewed the Council agenda report and added
that the Rent Review Board had met yesterday, and on a 2 -1 vote, would
support the suggested wording amendment submitted by Attorney Jim Buttery
with modifications made by Councilman Griffin. It was Mr. Picquet's
recommendation that Council adopt the code amendment as recommended by
staff which would establish an adjusted base space rent that would set an
amount which would reflect what the space rent would have been without a
lease. This base space rent for the space on March 15, 1982, plus any-rent
increases applicable to the non -lease spaces at the park would become the
new or adjusted base space rent. Under the proposed wording by Mr. Buttery,
the base space rent would reflect the last month's rent under the lease
with a limitation that the rent would not be set at an.amount greater than
the average rent paid either under the entire life or the last six months
of the lease, whichever amount were greater.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Craig Amspoker, 1675 Los Osos Valley Road and Past President of SLOMOTA,
spoke in support of the City's current ordinance, stating that he did not
feel it was in any way unfair or should be amended.
Art Filocana, a tenant with Chumash Village Mobilehome Park, felt that the
ordinance currently imposed by the City was very difficult to interpret.
He would support using the last month's rent of a lease to begin a new
lease with. He would also like to see a definition of what the City,
considers to be a long -term lease.

Page 4
David Brymer, Chumash Village Mobilehome Park; supported the recommendation
by the City Attorney. He felt if that recommendation was not accepted,
that it would only be a matter of time before the ordinance would be
defeated.
Edna Vind, a resident in Rancho San Luis, Space #9, also spoke in support
of the City Attorney's recommendation.
Jeff Warren, manager and part owner of the Silver City Mobilehome Park,
spoke in support of Mr. Buttery's proposal, stating that his park had been
waiting with regard to the leases until the inequities between the model
lease and the City's ordinance had been ironed out.
Charles Long, owner of the Village Moblilehome Park, spoke in support of
Mr. Buttery's proposal.
Jim Buttery,'representing Rancho San Luis, Village Mobilehome Park and
Chumash Village, urged Council's support of his proposal as amended by
Councilman Griffin.
Art Jack, tenant in the Laguna Lake Mobilehome Park, stated he was not
unhappy with the lease that he had signed 4' years ago. He felt the real
problem came when the leases being offered were short -term leases. He felt
there was a real temptation to sign a lease. He.would like to see an
additional study of this particular area addressed in the ordinance prior
to Council's actions this evening.
Mike Nolan, attorney, agreed with Mr. Jack that this ordinance.was premature.
He felt that fairness of the lease was the key and not fairness of the
ordinance.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.
Councilwoman Dovey did not feel that anything would be gained by continuing
this item. She recognized that there is some ambiguity, however, this was
being worked on by the Rent Review Board. She was still supportive of the
City Attorney's recommendation, and again emphasized, that the City should
not be in the position of being in the lease business.
Councilman Dunin also supported the recommendations made by Art Jack and
Mr. Nolan to continue this item for additional•review.by the Rent-Review
Board.
Councilman Griffin felt that as there was some urgency to resolve this
matter due to many leases in some of the•parks expiring within the next
month or two, that he would support the passage of this ordinance. However,
he felt that the City should not be playing a "guarantor" role and would be
open for additional changes after the Rent Review Board has had an opportunity
to review this. He felt there should be a good faith effort between the
owner and the tenants and that the ordinance should be looked at as a
living ordinance and reviewed from time -to -time.
Councilman Settle-felt that there was still an area of vagueness in the
ordinance and he would agree with Art Jack and Mr. Amspoker for continuing
this item for additional review.
Mayor Billig agreed that the ordinance should be fine -tuned from time -to -time,
however, she'did not feel that it would be necessary or anything would be
' gained by continuing the item. She would support the City.Attorney's
recommended approach.
After additional discussion it was moved by Councilman Griffin, seconded by
Mayor Billig,-to introduce Ordinance No.,1020 (1984.Series), an ordinance
amending the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Regulations to print as recommended
by staff. Staff also directed to notice the Rent Review Board that they
review this ordinance without prejudice in light of the-discussion this
evening. Ordinance introduced to print on a unanimous roll call vote

3. WEED ABATEMENT (File X6723)
Council held a'public Bearing to consider a resblution confirming liens
upon real property parcels for weed abatement costs in various areas of the
city.
Brad Hopkins, Fire Captain, reviewed the Council agenda report stating that
it was the recommended action that Council adopt the resolution which would
confirm liens upon those parcels which were not paid-pursuant to the last ■
notice sent by the Fire Department for weed abatement costs in the City.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Terry Simons, property owner, stated that he had some concerns about the
ordinance. He would like to see that the notice requirements to the
property owners include street address rather than only the parcel numbers
in order to make it clear as to which parcels were being cited. In the
future the notice should show who the contractor would be abating the weeds
and include full name and telephone number. The type of equipment being
used for clearing the abatement should be properly representative of the
size of the parcels that would be cleared.
Mark Boyd, 1512 Mill Street, stated that he was the manager of the parcel
6601- 132 -22; Mr. Brazil's property, and stated that there had been some
confusion as to what area was to be'abated by the Fire Department. He had
also been red- tagged by the Public Works Department concerning shrubbery "
abatement on a part of the same parcel. To his knowledge, the property had
never been posted and he would urge the Council to drop the lien on his
parcel until a closer examination could be made of the mix -up.
After discussion it was moved by Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilman
Settle, to adopt the resolution but to continue the item of Mr. Brazil's
property and drop the penalty charge on Mr. Simons' property.
After additional discussion this motion was withdrawn. ,
On motion of Councilwoman Dovey, seconded by Mayor Billig, to adopt the
resolution confirming liens upon the real property parcels as recommended
by staff.
Motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmember Dovey, Mayor Billig and Councilman Dunin
NOES: Councilmembers Griffin and Settle
ABSENT: 'None "

Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by Violet Coley and
Beryl Thalacker of a decision by the Mobilehome Rent Review Board to allow
the park owner to increase the rent for two spaces to $44.31.•
Roger Picquet, City Attorney, reviewed the Council agenda report with the
recommended action that Council adopt the resolution which would deny the
appeal and uphold the decision of the Mobilehome Rent Review Board to grant
a rent increase of $44.31 per month for two spaces at Rancho San Luis
Mobilehome Park.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Mike Nolan, representing Violet Coley and Beryl Thalacker, stated that he
felt these people were being punished by the increase as a result of not
having signed the lease, when in fact they did not sign the lease.as it was
too vague and ambiguous.
Floyd Melvin, Space 6648 in Rancho San Luis, did not feel the appeal was
justified and urged Council's denial.

Page 6
Jim Buttery, spoke on behalf of Bobbie Anderson, the owner of Rancho San
Luis and felt that the evidence submitted to the Rent Review Board had been
adequate and agreed with their decision. He would, also, urge Council's
support.
Art Jack, a tenant at Laguna Lake Mobilehome Park, again urged Council to
remember that it was the ordinance that should remain equitable and that
they should not be reviewing the.leases. .
Beverly Joy, tenant of Rancho San Luis, spoke in support of.the Rent Review
Board's decision to uphold the owner's position.
Kurt Coley, representing his mother, an appellant, stated that his mother
had severe economic hardship, that her rent had more than doubled in 51�
years, and would hope the Council could give some relief. He wanted the
record to show that he was not trying to be a trouble maker. The only
reason why his mother had not signed the lease was that they did not know
at that time if she would be able to stay at the property for a lengthier
period.
Beryl Thalacker, Space 4116 of Rancho San Luis and,an appellant, stated that
she did not sign the lease because she did feel that it had several loop
holes, including that there may have been a conflict of interest by one of
the members of the Rent Review Board.
Mr. Gleason, Space 4i47.of Rancho San Luis, spoke against the appeal. He
felt that Mr. Anderson was very honest and fair in his assessment.
Mike Nolan questioned the,City Attorney as to whether or not this would be
retroactive and also whether or not all materials that had been submitted
to the Rent Review Board had been give to the Council and the substantiation
of the $700,000 appraisal fee earlier.referred to in the Rent Review
Board's testimony.'

of the Council of the City of.San Luis Obispo to deny the appeal.and uphold
the decision of the Mobilehome Rent Review Board with the amendments as
proposed by Councilman Griffin, with a new finding 443 to read "It would be
inequitable for appellants not to uniformly share in master land lease -
increases,' inequity which would likely discourage renewal of resident
leases and result in.the property not receiving a.just and reasonable
return on his property ". The previously third WHEREAS would be deleted,
the third finding would be deleted with the.wording above inserted. Also
with finding 441 it would read "Prior to October 1, 1983, the park owner,
Mr. Anderson, incurred.a substantial increase in costs attributable to an
3ii�tOJJO Ili addition,to his master land lease rent ". The last NOW THEREFORE
would show the effective date to be October 1,:1983. Resolution adopted on

Patricia McClenahan, applicant and owner of San Luis Welding Supply, spoke
in support of her appeal. She explained her reluctance in having the sign
removed as it was a difficult location to sign, the illumination was poor
and the danger that freestanding signs would.result in their being knocked
down due to large trucks coming and going.
Dave Garth, representing the Chamber of Commerce,-spoke in support of the
appeal and requested that Council give consideration to the costs to be
involved for this small business and the importance that this sign represents.
He stated that the applicant would be willing to spruce up the building if
this would help as far as making some other recommendation in order that
that sign might stay, if not in its current location, to be left at the top
of the building.

After discussion it was moved by Councilwoman Dovey, seconded by Councilman
Griffin, to adopt Resolution No. 5436 (1984 Series), a resolution of the

agenda report stating that it was the recommended action of staff that

Commission action which would conditionally approve the use permit.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Daniel Neumann, the applicant, spoke in support of his appeal, stating that
the construction yard site was excessive and very unsightly, especially as
it would be there probably for another two years, which he did not feel was
a proper use in an R -1 zone. The construction trailer had been there for
four years, and although it was not owned by the current owner, had been
used as a sales office, again adjacent to the construction yard which he
felt was not a proper use.

Rick Webster, the builder, explained that due to aesthetics, economic and
safety reasons; the construction yard and trailer were in the place that
they were. He stated that over the next two years, there would probably be
100 homes built. To.leave the equipment on individual homesites, rather
than locked up in a fenced yard, could cause serious problems for young
children. Economically,.the yard also helped the theft aspect. With
regard to aesthetics, he stated that there was a chainlink fence around it
and..only the smaller materials were stored there.
' Toby Ross,. Community Development Director, suggested that there might be
some ways to help.mitigate the unsightliness by.skirting the trailer and

yard.
