CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 26, 19B5
ARROYO GRANOE, CALIFORNIA PAGE TWO
MOBILE HOME RENT STABILIZATION REPORT
City Attorney Art Shaw said that he had been asked to see whether or not
any legislation passed by the California Legislature in 1985 would have any
impact on the possible adopting by the City of a rent stabilization
ordinance. He said he had reviewed the legislation and believed it would
not impact adversely on the City if it passed rent stabilization. He
introduced Craig Amspoker, who is a leading spokesman throughout San Luis
Obispo County on the subject of rent stabilization.
CRAIG AMSPOKER of Los Os os said he is deli ghted that the City is
considering Rent Stabilization because people who own their mobile homes but
not the land are economically vunerable. He said it is imperative that a
law be passed to control the rent for the people who own a mobile home,
which cannot be moved, and the land is sold underneath it. He told about
Measure A, a rent control initiative which passed in San Luis Obispo County,
and urged the Counci 1 to di rect Mr. Shaw to prepare a rent stabi 1 i zat ion
ordinance which is fair and equitable for the City.
Also speaking in favor of a mobile home rent stabilization ordinance
for the City of Arroyo Grande were CHARLENE HALL of 2700 Highway 1, Oceano;
BERNIE BURKE of Sunrise Terrace Mobile Home Park; FRANCI S PACKARD of 2400
Highway 1, Oceano.
MELVIN JDHNSON, owner of Vagabond Mobile Home Pa.rk on Traffi c Way,
spoke against rent stabilization. He said rent control does not recognize
the differences in mobil e home parks, it strongly impl ies that Capital ism
does not work and shou 1 d be rep 1 aced, and that rent control overfixes the
problem it is supposed to cure.
After Counc i 1 discussion, and on motion of Counci 1 Member Johnson,
seconded by Council Member Porter, and unanimously carried, to hold a study
session at some undetermined date in the future. Council Members also asked
for copies of San Luis Obispo County's Measure "A," and sample lease
agreements between parks and tenants.
PUBLI C SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION TENTATIVE MAP VES-
HEARING lING KEGULA1IONS
Planning Director said that during the 1985 legislation session, revisions
were made to the Subdivision Act which now allow for "Vesting Tentative
Maps"-a map that substantially assures that commitments in place at the time
of tentative tract approval shall not be changed to the detriment of the
subdivider. He said the law requires that cities make adjustments to the
existing subdivision ordinances recognizing vesting tent at i ve tracts and
allowing cities to add any additional requirements deemed necessary to
assure that the city understands fully the ramifications of a tentative
tract map before approving a vesting map. He said the staff prepared the
amendments to serve the best interests of the city, and the Planning
COlTlT1ission, after a Public Hearing, recommends them for approval and
adoption. He said the intention of staff and the Planning Commission is to
institutionalize what has been done for years in administrative guidelines.
Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher said the Notice of Public Hearing had been duly
published and all requirements met for this public hearing and invited the
public to address the Council. When no one came forward, he declared the
hearing closed.
After Counci 1 discussion, on motion of Council Member Moots, seconded
by Council Member Johnson, and unanimously carried, to dispense with further
reading of the Ordinance.

PUBLI C PROPOSED AMENDMENT -GENERAL PLAN TEXT AND MAP REGAROING AGR ICUL TURAL SOILS
HEARING LAND USE CATEGORY
Mr. Eisner said the proposed Resolution would amend the agricultural
sect i on of the City's Gener a 1 Plan for the purpose of more completely
defining prime soil s in accordance with the guidelines provided by the
United State Department of Agriculture and adjusting the minimum parcel
size for prime agricultural land to ten (10) acres. He said the General
Plan amendment has been prepared in response to a Resolution of Intention
No. 1183 adopted by the City Council on the 27th day of August, 1985. He
said the proposed amendment has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and
the original Resolution modified for clarity. Referring
to his staff report of November 21, 1985, Mr. Eisner read the proposed
definition of "Prime Farmland" and listed 25 types of prime farmland, which
include all of the Prime Lands in the City of Arroyo Grande.
Mayor Pro Tern Gallagher referred to a November 22, 1985, letter to the
Mayor and City Council from Clark L. Moore, Resource Consultant, discussing
the proposed Resolution and the definition of "Prime Farmlands."
Mayor Pro Tern Gallagher said the Notice of Public Hearing had been duly
pUblished and all requirements met for this public hearing and invited the
public to address the Council.
C. S. KUREK of 603 Cherry Avenue said the land belonging to Coker
Ellsworth should not be exempted from the proposed Resolution, and if the
City were to do so it wou 1 d have to exempt everyone in the Vall ey and we
would have a big city with no a9riculture.
COKER ELLSWORTH OF 129 Bridge Street spoke regarding his property at
Cherry Avenue and Branch Mill Road said he is not asking for an exemption,
and that he is currently zoned RAB-3 Low Density Residential. He referred
to the map on the wall and pointed to three properties that would be
affected by the Resolution. He said he would be the only one affected at
this point in time, and that is not fair. He said his property is not
suitable for agriculture.
JUNE WALLER of 1098 Huasna Road said she intends to farm her land, but
would like to have the choice of dividing it into less than 10-acre parcels
to sell. She said the proposed amendment is not a good one. Mr. Eisner saia
her land is zoned for agriculture, but he would have to check her soil type
to see if it is Prime Farmland. Mrs. Waller said she has 18 acres, and it
is hard to get a tenant to farm that size.
CONRAD GRIEB of 303 Halcyon Road said a good portion of his land is
"creek" and does not hold moisture. He said, "Are we going to be stuck with
this until doomsday?"
IDA MAE GRIEB of 303 Halcyon Road said churches I schools and mortuaries
have been allowed to build in her area, and asked why her land is being kept
in agriculture.
HILO FUCHIWAKI of 398 Coach Road said he has 20 acres, and he would retire
if the proposed Reso 1 ut i on was passed. He said he has lived here since
1933, and his wife is a native of the area. He asked the Council to give a
little thought to the property owner as well as the home owner.

AMENDMENT-TEXT AND MAP, AGRICULTURE SOILS LAND USE CATEGORY Continued
BRIAN ALHANDY of 211 Allen Street asked the Council if it represented
the people or staff.
CHRIS WALLER of Shell Beach said he farms flower seed in Guadalupe, and
that the City should compensate the property owners in this case for their
losses.
MARIE CATTOIR of 195 Orchid Lane said she supports the farmer, and is
in sympathy with the position they are in. She said abuses have taken place
in the past, and restrictions were necessary. She said the situation now is
punitive. She said we should have viable options.
Mayor Pro Tern Galla9her called for others to speak, and when no one came
forward, he declared the hearing closed.
Council Member Johnson said she real i zed the precari ous position of
farmers today, but that the City has been placed 'in the position where every
bit of farmland will be built upon.
Council Member Porter said prime farmland is the most energy efficient
land in the United States. He said we can't give up on our farmland,
because we can't rely on our neighboring countries to feed us.
Council Member Moots said we have made a commitment to build on the
hi lls to save the farmland. He di scussed transfer of dens ity, but said
details have not been worked out.
Mayor Pro Tern Gallagher said this is an $85 million industry in the
Valley. He said it is a natural resource, and the Council is not trying to
save land that is not productive.
Mr. Eisner read the title of the proposed Resolution.
On motion of Council Member Moots, seconded flY Council Member Johnson,
and unanimously carried, to dispense with further reading of the proposed
Resolution.

TRAFFIC WAY STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Mack said the Council had met and opened the public hearing on the
plan for Traffic Way November 12, 1985, and then continued the hearing in a
study session November 13, 1985. He said that imput from the public at those
meetings had been used by staff to draw up a project design. He showed the
design map and explained the notes thereon.
Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher re-opened the public hearing, and invited
comments from the audience.
JERRY BOWSER of 510 Woodland Avenue presented a petition from property
owners and business proprietors of Traffic Way. The petition endorsed one
uniform street width and design for the entire length of Traffic Way. It
also endorsed 60 foot curb to curb street wi dth composed of a 16 foot
turning lane, two 12 foot travel lanes, two 10 foot parking lanes, and 8
foot sidewalks, within a 76 foot right of way. The petition said it did not
endorse meandering pathways and street trees.
BILL HART of 207 Bridge Street asked about street lighting, and Mr.
Mack replied that the Village Design overlay includes Traffic Way and it
should have designer type lamps.
MRS. CATTOIR, KEN MCDANIEL of 417 Traffic Way and DANNY PACE of Vic
Pace Ford spoke in favor of the petition.
Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher called for others to speak, and when no others
came forward he closed the public hearing.
Council Members said they appreciated the fact that the property owners
and business proprietors got together and designed a workable and acceptable
plan for Traffi c Way. On mot i on of Counc i 1 Member Johnson, seconded by
Counc i 1 Member Moots, and unanimous 1y carried, the Counci 1 adopted: (1)
Seventy-s i x foot ri ght of way with two park i ng 1 anes, two trave 1 lanes, a
center turn lane and eight foot sidewalks; (2) Trees in the project; (3) No
meandering sidewalks; (4) Signals at Fair Oaks and Station Way.
A motion to make Bridge Street the same width from one end to the other
and modify the park island to accommodate the wider width of the road failed
because of a tie vote. Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher asked that the subject be
brought back on the next Council meeting agenda.
URGENCY FIRE SPRINKLER ORDINANCE
City At torney Art Shaw said that at the last Counc i 1 meeting the
Counc i 1 approved an oral version of an urgency ordinance. He said he had

OAK PARK INTERCHANGE PROJECT REPORT
Mr. Mack said that the Mayor of Pismo Beach had agreed to meet with Mayor
Smith and the Mayor of Grover City prior to December 11, 1985, when Pismo
Beach will mee~ with Cal Trans for a study session on the Interchange. Mayor
Pro Tem asked lf there was an agreement between the three cities and Cal
Trans that should be looked into. Mr. Mack said yes, and the issue would
be discussed in Closed Session.
OAK PARK COMPOSITION ROOFS REPORT
Mr.. Mack referred to his staff report of November 21, 1985, and said
that O~d~nance No. 140 C.S. was adopted in 1976 by the City and it contained
a prOV1Slon that there should be no rock roofs or composition shingle roofs
permitted in Oak Park Acres area. He said the ordinance promoted tile and
shakes shingle roofs. He said in Parcel 12 one property owner had succeeded
in obtaining a variance from the Planning Commission to put in a composition
roof. He said now in the Foremaster Tract there are five building permits
for composition shingle roofs have been issued contrary to our own
Ordinance, and variances have been given by the CC&R corrmittee in that
tract. He said some composition roofs are very attractive these days and
have a better fi re rati ng than the shake roofs. He recorrmended that the
Council alter Ordinance 140 C.S. to permit composition shingle roofs.
Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher asked why the building inspectors were not
aware of the Ordinance. Council Member Johnson said the composition roofs
are much more attractive than in the past, and have a good fire rating.
Council Member Moots said he has concerns about the people who have already
built homes in Oak Park Acres following the guidelines of the Ordinance.
REUBEN KVIDT developer of Oak Park Acres referred to his letter to the
City Manager of November 21, 1985, saying that "in view of the improvements
in the quality of composition roofs made since that ordinance was published
I feel that it is appropriate to allow composition roofs in certain areas of
our development provided the roofs are Class A for fire protection." He
said he has no objection to the composition shingle roofs in the Foremaster
Tract 604, if they are of architectural quality.
ROBERT E. BOWEN of 1033 Acorn Street said he has a home in the new
Foremaster Tract, and has a shake roof which he wishes to change to
composition shingle for fire safety reasons.
BRUCE STUDE of 840 Quail Court said he has a house under construction
and has a composition roof. He said it would cost him a lot more money to
change to a shake shingle or tile roof. H~ als.o said he is waiting for
final inspection of his house, but that the Clty wlll not make the
inspection until Foremaster complies with certain conditions drawn up by the
City in connection with the tract.
BRIAN ALHANDY of 211 Allen Street said there are too many
inconsistancies. He also complained about not being able to get a final
inspection on a home.
BRUCE SEIDLER of Oceano said that although he had not received a building
permit which allowed him to put composition shakes on his house, he had
changed his plans and ordered his contractor to install such a roof as he was
unaware of Ordinance 140 C.S.

CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 26, 1985
ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE SEVEN
OAK PARK COMPOSITION ROOFS REPORT Continued
After a great deal of discussion the Council expressed its concern over
arbitrarily changing Ordinance 140 C.S. without adequate controls being
established for future building permit approval. The Council indicated that
it was open minded in this regard but would prefer to have a staff recommen-
dation which would specifically detail architecturally appropri ate roofi ng
requirements which would not leave the matter open to interpretation by each
individual builder.
On motion by Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Moots,
and unanimously carried, to authorize the City Engineer to grant individual
approvals for composition shingle roofs at each of the addresses for which
such permits had been previously issued and for the Seidler dwell i ng
discussed earlier.
It was the Council's directive that the City Engineer assure himself
prior to grants of approval that the six structures have roofs with fire
ratings of Grade A or better. The Counci 1 also directed him to make a
determination that the roofs installed have an overall pleasing effect on
the neighborhood. Mr. Karp was further di rected to make sure that all
permits, exclusive of the aforementioned, should be in compliance with
Ordinance 140 C.S. and its subsequent revisions. Upon completion of the mat-
ter dealing with the six exceptions, the Staff was directed to report back to
the Council with appropriate wording which could be considered for future
modifications to Ordinance 140 C.S.
Mr. Karp asked the Council for authorization to deny all future building
permit applications within Tract 1158 until such time as the improvements
were accepted by the Council. He said that permits had been granted in the
past when the majority of improvements had been completed. He said it was
the staff's belief at that time that the subdivision would be ready for
acceptance by the Council prior to completion of any of the structures
permitted within the tract. He said the Building Inspector had been to 1 d
to cond it ion all permits so that the builders would know that no final
occupancies would be granted until the tract improvements were accepted by
the City. He said that as of this date certain items of work and appropriate
maintenance guarantees are not yet posted so the tract is not yet ready for
completion.
As background information with regard to the requests for occupancy by
Mr. A1handy who has finished his dwelling and desires final occupancy, Mr.
Mack disclosed that one final occupancy had been granted within the subdivi-
sion in error by the building inspector. He indicated that the matter had
been brought to his attention as justification for granting other occupancies
within the subdivision prior to completion of the tract improvements. Mr.
Mack said he did not consider the error to be precedent setting and Mr.
A1handy's request on behalf of the Seid1ers had been denied.
Mr. Karp said he had made his aforementioned request to prevent such
problems from occurring in the future within this subdivision. He said that
occupancy could not be granted at this time since there were incomplete work
items which would preclude tract acceptance by the Council at this time.
Council Members asked Mr. Karp to work with the developer (Mr. Foremaster)
to gain his cooperation in resolving unfinished work as quickly as possible.
Each of the Council members indicated their support of the staff in efforts
to not grant occupancies until such time as Mr. Foremaster could resolve
the staff's major concerns.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tem Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Moot~,
and unanimously carried, to authorize the building inspector to deny permlt
applications within Tract 1158 until such time as the subdivision
improvements are accepted by the Council.
