JOINT COMMISSION /CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION RE: COASTAL- VALLEY PLANNING COUNCIL PROPOSAL FOR HOUSE NUMBERING CHANGES IN THE FIVE CITIES AREA Commissioner St. Denis reported that at the Coastal - Valley Planning Council meeting of January 5th there was some discussion with regard to coordination between the three cities and unincorporated area of Oceano relative to the problem of house numbering, resulting in three proposals: 1. Complete renumbering of the total area, beginning at the ocean ands_ progressing easterly. 2. Selection of a median such as at 18th Street and numbering pro - gressively east and west. 3. Retaining present numbering systems within each of the existing areas and providing some method of demarcation between each of the areas. COMMISSIONER PORTER ENTERED THE MEETING Commissioner St. Denis advised that, in his opinion, Proposal No. 1 would be the ideal way, but that it would cause the greatest number of problems for the people. He advised that this group meeting was being held in an effort to secure direction and recommendations from the City Council and Planning Commission. 1 Director Gallop advised that in Oceano, the county numbers from the ocean easterly, and Grover City and Pismo Beach could probably get by with a small effect. The major effect would be between the ocean and First Street. If they renumbered starting at the ocean, this would throw all of their numbered streets out of alignment. It appears that Shell Beach and Arroyo Grande would have the major changes. The basic numbering pattern would remain the same in Oceano and Grover City. The County, about three years ago, recommended eliminating all of the numbered streets in the Oceano area, with the exception of 13th Street, and then they could adjust their numbering. The Coastal - Valley Planning Council, in studying the names, have eliminated every numbered street in the Oceano area. Arroyo Grande would have the largest number of changes east and west. He stated the primary numbering problem now is the five streets: The Pike, Ferrol], Grand, Newport and Brighton. Mayor Thompson and Councilman Levine expressed their opinion that this re- numbering should be done now before it becomes an even bigger problem. Commissioner St. Denis also indicated he was in favor of the renumbering being done now. Council- men Schlegel and Talley, and Planning Commissioners Combe, Kane, McMillen, Porter, Strother and Chairman Moss expressed their feelings that a mass numbering change at this time would create many problems, and they did not feel the people were ready for this now without a more compelling reason. If, in the future, a consolidation is made, then perhaps the people would be willing to accept the inconvenience because of the apparent necessity. PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN - AMENDED Director Gallop advised that, as noted in the staff report, there is one major change which can be found under the Sewer Section on the 4th page of the review, which is merely a statement that the Sewer Plan is amended by the inclusion by reference of the "Comprehensive Sewer Plan" of the City. Upon being assured by Director Gallop that the public hearing to reconsider an amended Public Services and Facilities Element of the General Plan for the City of Arroyo Grande had been properly advertised, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. No discussion for or against the proposed amendment, Chairman Moss declared the hearing closed.

PUBLIC HEARING - CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN - AMENDED Director Gallop reviewed the changes to the plan, as set out on Pages 3, 4 and 5 of the review, and explained reasons for the changes, stating they are a result of several years planning and consideration by the Public Works Director, City Engineer and himself. Upon being assured by Director Gallop that public hearing to reconsider an amended Circulation Element of the General Plan for the City of Arroyo Grande had been properly advertised, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. No discussion for or against the proposed amendment, Chairman Moss declared the hearing closed. Commissioners Strother and Combe expressed their feelings that they are in favor of The Pike being extended directly easterly from Halcyon instead of the proposed southerly relocation. Director Gallop stated that the reasons for the realignment were from the standpoint of feasibility because of ownership lines, terrain, present land use and stream bed configuration. After discussion, the following action was taken: RESOLUTION NO. 70 -151 G A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE READOPTING THE AMENDED CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN On motion of Commissioner St. Denis, seconded by Commissioner McMillen, and on the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: Commissioners Combe, Kane, McMillen, Porter, St. Denis, Strother and Moss NOES: None ABSENT: None the foregoing Resolution was adopted this 3rd day of February, 1970. DISCUSSION AND READOPTION OF THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS ELEMENT Director Gallop advised that the Public Buildings Plan is essentially as originally presented and no amendment is proposed. Commissioner Strother inquired as to the extra space in the Fire Department. He made reference to the joint use of the Fire Station by the Fire and Police Departments. Director Gallop advised there is sufficient room on a temporary basis that if such a move were made both departments could be accommodated, subject to re- location of the Fire Department or Police Department. Administrator Butch advised that there is sufficient room in the Police Department to handle the Planning Depart - ment and Public Works Department. This would permit removal of the old house next door to the,City Hall. , RESOLUTION NO. 70 -150 G A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE READOPTING THE AMENDED PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN .

On motion of Commissioner Strother, seconded by Commissioner Porter, and unanimously carried, to authorize introduction of a non - agenda item. Director Gallop advised that Mrs. Lyle Angel has petitioned for a lot split for the continuation of Wood Place, provided for by the adoption of Development Plan No. 4. The deed and the parcel map have been prepared. In the preparation of the map, because of the lot sizes created and the need to terminate the cul -de -sac border- ing this lot which is in the split, it is necessary to create a substandard frontage of 26 ft. on Parcel #2 and a 45' cul -de -sac radius. On motion of Commissioner McMillen, seconded by Commissioner Strother, and unanimously carried, recognizing variance for substandard frontage of 26 ft. on Parcel #2 and a 45' cul -de -sac radius, and recommend- ing to the City Council that deed for right -of -way purposes be accepted.
