OF POLICE FACILITIES Administrator Butch advised, as a matter of information, that the City had applied for a grant to study the feasibility of coordinating police facilities. He stated that the State task force heard the application on Friday and made the recom- mendation for the grant; the application will now go to another State organization. The City is requesting $21,000 for the feasibility study involving the three cities. PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED STREET.NAME CHANGE - "FRONTAGE ROAD" TO "EL CAMINO REAL ", Director Gallop pointed out that the recommendation for the name change came from the Coastal Valley Planning Council and has been before this Commission twice. He stated that Mr. Harris of Sambo's couldn't be present for the hearing, but stated he was in favor of the name change, and that a letter had been received from Mr. E. O'Reilly, a property owner on Frontage Road, also supporting the name change. Director Gallop noted that Grover City and the County have both changed their portions of Frontage Road to El Camino Real, leaving two small segments within Arroyo Grande unnamed. He further pointed out that Frontage Road is only a matter of reference and has never had an official name. Upon being assured by Director Gallop that property owners along Frontage Road had been notified of the public hearing, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing open. Mr. Jim Thompson, representing the Cemetery District, stated he would like to go on record as being against the name change in that they felt that El Camino Real has historically been the highway between north and south, and they did not feel the frontage road should be called "El Camino Real ". No further discussion for or against the proposed name change, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing closed. Councilman Talley advised that when this change was before the City Council, he was opposed to the name change and felt that El Camino Real has historically been the Kings Highway, linking the Missions throughout California. He further stated he didn't think Frontage Road was very adequate, but that, in his opinion, it doesn't fit the description of El Camino Real. Commissioner St. Denis advised that the Coastal Valley Planning Council had written to the California Mission Trails Association, which is the group responsible for the signs and bells along the highway, and they advised they had no objection to this paralleling street being named El Camino Real. Commissioner St. Denis also pointed out that the old Highway 101 is still El Camino Real in many areas. After further discussion, on motion of Commissioner Bowles, seconded by Commissioner St. Denis, and unanimously carried, that a recommendation be made to the City Council that the two small segments of "Frontage Road" within the City of Arroyo Grande be officially named "El Camino Real ".

SHOPPING CENTER GRAND AND ELM STREETS. Director Gallop advised the request is from Pacific Southwest Realty Company, property developers for Security Pacific Bank, to erect a temporary structure at Williams Brothers Shopping Center. The plan utilizes existing parking which is adequate for the size of the building to be used, and there is a rather large land- scaped area around the temporary structure. RESOLUTION NO. 71 -221 U Upon being assured by Director Gallop that public hearing for Use Permit Case No. 71 -178 had been duly published, posted and property owners notified, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing open.

He further advised that Security Pacific Bank has entered into an agreement with Williams Brothers, effective January 1972 for a period not to ex- ceed two years. He pointed out that the temporary structure would be a modular unit in two or three sections set on a concrete pier foundation.

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING CASE N0., - 55, HUASNA ROAD, R -2 TO R -3 DISTRICT (WICAL), Director Gallop reviewed that two weeks ago the Commission had a public hearing to rezone a parcel of property from R -2 to R -3 District to expand an existing mobile - home park, and that at that time he had pointed out that Dr. Wical had inadvertently omitted a portion of the property from the legal description, and that Dr. Wical has since filed a zone change application on the second parcel. He pointed out that at the time of the first public hearing, he had suggested that action be withheld until the second public hearing so that both parcels would be included in one Resolution. Upon being assured by Director Gallop that public hearing for Rezoning Case No. 71 - had bee, duly posted, published and property owners notified, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing open. Mr. Gallagher, 520 Leanna Drive, stated he was concerned regarding the safety of this addition as to the number of entrances and exits, and inquired if there would be any problem of emergency vehicles getting in and out of the mobllehome park. Director Gallop advised that generally most mobilehome parks are developed with only one access, primarily for the control of vehicles entering the park, and this access will be reviewed by the Public Works, Police and Fire Departments upon receipt of the Use Permit application. Dr. Wical advised that he does have an additional right -of -way through Quaresma's property for emergency vehicles for entrance and exit, which would be on the west side of the property. Dr. Wical further advised the total development would consist of 65 spaces. Chairman Schultz pointed out that a new Use Permit for this expansion will be required. No further discussion for or against the proposed rezoning, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing closed, and the following action was taken: 390 Arroyo Grande•Planning Commission, 11 -16 -71 Page 3 RESOLUTION NO, 71 -222 Z A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE AS PROVIDED BY CHAPTER 4, ARTICLE 21, OF SAID CODE. On motion of Commissioner St. Denis, seconded by Commissioner Bowles, and by the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: Commissioners Berryhill, Bowles, Jones, St. Denis and Chairman Schultz NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Nunes and Porter the foregoing Resolution was adopted this 16th day of November, 1971. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP # - "TERRA DE ORO" Director Gallop pointed out that the property being discussed was recently before the Commission and approved for rezoning, and advised that the property has frontage on Huasna Road and on Stagecoach Road. He further advised that the property in the County was recommended for prezoning by this Commission and approved by the City Council, and that the ordinances are now going through the readings. Director Gallop referred to the Subdivision Review Board Recommendations, dated November 11, 1971, and the Addendum to the Report, dated November 16, 1971. He advised there is a potential of 72 lots within the City, less whatever is necessary for the park dedication, and that all of the lots do meet the width, depth and square footage requirements, and that as the lots progress up the hill, they do become larger. During discussion regarding the drainage of this area, Councilman Talley question- ed as to whether there would be a drainage problem caused by water generated by this development. Director Gallop advised that Director of Public Works Anderson and City Engineer Garing had discussed this matter and, apparently, felt the recommendations would be adequate to carry the water, There was a brief discussion regarding the park location, and Director Gallop advised that the 3 or 4 lots were chosen because they are more centrally located, they are severely, bisected by an easement, and if location were approved, park de- velopment would come fairly early in the development of the subdivision and increase, by dedication, adequate acreage to meet the requirements for the entire acreage. He further stated that he felt the smaller lots in the lower part of the development would be more in need of the park development than the upper portion of the develop- ment because of the larger lots. After further discussion, on motion of Commissioner Bowles, seconded by Commissioner St. Denis, and unanimously carried, that Tentative Map for Tract #434 be approved with the conditions set forth in Subdivision Review Board Recommenda- tions, dated November 11, 1971, and Addendum to Report of November 11, 1971, dated November 16, 1971.
