REVIEW PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON REZONING CASE NO. 79~123, EL CAMINO REAL - HELD OVER
This item was held over to the Council's' next' meeti'ng.
PREll M I NARY REV I EW OF SEN I OR cn I ZENS HOUS I NG PROJECT, 365 SOUTH' ELM STREET
Planning 'Di rector Castro presented plans on a proposed senior citizens residence;
project o~ South Elm Street, consisting of a three-story buildin~ with 100 units, 1n- l
cluding managemenr facilitles, recreation areas, kitchens, elevator~ and parking. Thi~
project would help address the needs of, housing for the elderly ahd he felt it should 'I
be encouraged. The proposed project does not meet zoning requirements in terms of
density, parking and height restrictions, but this can be solved by either placing a
"-D" override on the zoning to accomodate the project, or by creatlng a special'dis- "I
trict for this type of project. The Planning Commission was in favor of the project,
providing the ordinance could be changed to protect the City from private developers
trying to make the same submittal.
r
-"
The project was' then reviewed by Mr. Sam Taylor, Garing &' Taylor, representative
for the developer;, Mr. Monroe Weiner, Reseda, appHcant; and Mrs. Judith 'Wi lson, 1345
Brighton, realtor for the project. They eXplained this is a senior citizens' housing I
project for those 62 years and older, with an income less than $7,000 per year. It is,:
financed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and consequently
must meet HUD's' building and ,location"standards in terms of size, number of units,
location (it must be near a park and shopping facilities) and transportation (it must
be on a local transportation system"s route)'. ' It also meets safety requirements in
terms of entrances, exits, stairways, fire al-arm systems and elevator service. Ten
percent of the Units (the first ,floor) are designed and reserved for the handicapped.
These are government-subs'idized rental units. The total monthly rent is $300, with
the tenant contributing one-fourth(~) of his monthly income to the rent and HUD pay-
ing the balance, i.e., if a tenant made $400 per month, he would pay $100 for rent
and HUD would pay the $200 balance. Water and trash are included in the rent; the
tenant pays for electri~ity and gas.'
'I
Council Member Gallagher and Mayor Mill is expressed considerable concern that the'
proposed project does not meet the City's zoning requirements in terms of density, i
height and parking, with particular emphasis that it meet the'City's density require-
ments. Mr. Weiner explained that in-order to acquire Federal funding on this project
and to make the units available at $300 per'month, the development has to consist of
152

at least 100 units; he also explained none of the surrounding property was available for
expansion of th'e proje'ct.' There was cons'iderable discussion 'on parking, whi'ch'was 'based'
on ,the ratio' of '1/3 parking space per apartment. Mrs. Wi 1son 'explaine'd the parking'
ratio has proven to be more than enough parking for similar projects throughout the
County as the majority of these units are rented by people on limited incomes who cannot
afford to own and operate a vehicle.
After 'considerable discussion, Council requested staff research this item in terms
of any ordinances that would have to be changed to accomodate this project, if lowering
City standards for this project would require lowering the standards for development
throughout the City and the implications of such changes to City ordinances and to other
development's. Staff is'to report back to the Counci I on the'i r findings.'

PUB. HEAR;: REZONING CASE NO. 79-125, 536 & 590 E.' CHERRY AVE. (MARSALEK) - DENIED
Planning Director Castro revi"ewed the request for rt;lzoning of 536 'and 590 East u'
Cherry Avenue from R-A-B-3, Residential Agricultural District, to R-1-D, Single Family
Residential District. He explained this had been before the Council previously and
was denied' without prejudice. He reviewed the proposea rezoning now before the Council,
noting drainage concerns regarding the watershed in the surrounding hi Irs, on the
Marsa'lek parcel a'nd on the wn 1 iams prope'rty. He explained drainage studies wo'uld have
to be conducted' for the drainage courses which 1 ie to the 'north and south sides of 'the
freeway. The applicant requested the property be rezoned to P-D; the Commission recom-
mended conditionally approving the rezoning to R~l-D as it offers the same protection'
to the City as P-D, and would be better suited to the development of the Marsalek pro-'
perty. The recommendation of the Planning Commission was to conditionally approve the
rezoning on the condition that' a drainage plan for the 'entire area' wou'ld have to be
completed and adopted before development was al'lowed. The Commission also approved
the negative declaration to the project on the condition that the drainage study be
expanded toi ncl ude a comprehens i ve sol ut i on to the dra i nage probl em. He then' reviewed
two proposed tract maps noting these we're not up for approval'. He explained' the Counci I
was being asked to conditionally approve the rezoning by not allowing any development '
until a comprehensive drainage plan had been made and adopted, in order to give the
developer an idea on the design and economics of the project. After this review, Mayor
Mi 11 is opened the hearing to pub1 ic comment.
MR. MITCH WALKER, San Luis 'Engineering, representative for the Marsaleks, spoke
to the Council noting they had submitted two tentative maps to help resolve some of ,the
problems raised by the' Counci 1 at the last, rezoning hearing on this property. He ex'-
plained the appl icant could proceed with eithe'r R-l-D or P-D and they had pre'sented
some specific engineering documents for the drainage plan, for staff's review. He also
noted there was a confl ict between the General Plan's zon'ing map in the text and 'the
agricultural zoning' and noted extenuating circumstances in terms of property size,
location and viable agricult'ura1 units. They reque'sted approval of the rezoning so
that the developer might then plan tentative designs 'for the subd'ivision and resolve
the drainage problems in accordance to the proposed designs.
The following'peoplewere present and spoke in 'favor of the rezoning based on
neighboring' prime agr'icultura1 land th'at was allowed to develop' into subdivis'ions, the
unprofitable agricultural establ ishment on the parcel, and the bel ief this 'subdivision
would be an excellent addition' to the City: TONY MARSALEK, 536 E. Cher'ry; ETHEL MARSALEK,
536 E. Cherry; TILLIE RICHEY, 428 Orchard; JACK MALLORY~ 326 Noguera Place.
Upon question from Mr. ED'AIKEN, 432 Garden Street, staff confirmed that in case
of development of this property, Cher'ry Avenue would be' widened to forty feet, allowing
two parking lanes and two driving lanes.
u
The following people spoke against the rezoning noting extreme concern that this
would open the door to the' development of other prime' agricultural' land in the City and
would effect prime agricultural land' near the' City limits, but 'in County areas, concern
about the drainage problem and the necessity to address the overall wat~rshed to
protect the farming in the lower valley before any devel'opment is' allowed: 'D. G. PORTER,
541 Ide; JOHN TAYLOR, Valley Road;' MARIE CATTOIR, 195 Orchid, Lane. '
There being no further public comment, the hearing was closed and Council discus-
sion ensued.
There was considerable Council discussion on drainage concerns', the in'creased
traffic on Cherry Avenue and Los 01 ivas, the need to ,initiate the school fees and the
desire of the Council to see, approve and adopt a drainage plan for this area' before
any tentatlve map is approved. It'was the consensus of the Council that the rezoning
would not be approved until the Council approved and adopted the completed drainage plan
for the parcel and surrounding area.-' On the motion-of Council Member Gallaghe'r, seconded
by Council Member de Leon, and on the following roll call vote:

PUB. HEAR.: APPEAL LOT SPLIT CASE NO. 79-303, BRANCH MILL RD. (POOLE, HEAD) - DENIED
Planning Director Castro explained this was an appeal of the Planning Commission~.s
denial.of Lot Split Case No. 79-303, Branch Mill Road. He explained this.parcel was
part.of the Greenwood Subdivision which had .come before.the Planning Commission and,
the Council in.1977. At that time this property was rezoned from "A" to'''A-D'' and he
felt the "-D" override was to prevent further subdivision of the land-".he felt other-
wise.the "-D" override was superfluous. However, Planning Commission and City Council'
minutes are ambiguous.as to the interpretation of .the "-D" override. After this review'
Mayor Mi 11 is opened the hearing .to publ ic comment. II
. 'I
MR. THOMAS HEAD, 344 Santa Fe Avenue, Pismo Beach and.MR. .MARTIN POOLE, 108 GardeM
Street, Arroyo Grande, owners of the property and applicants for the subdivision, spoke
on the matter of the "-D" .override and appl ied it to the parcel map. _ They felt at the
Planning Commission meeting of March 15, 1977, on.Lot Split Case No. 77-261, the Com-
mission had recommended a fifty-foot easement back to the agricultural property, as
this would be made a flag lot with access onto Branch Mill Road, whichcis what they'
were now proposing. Also, City Ordinance 153 C.S. rezones this property from "A" to
"A-D" , with the "-D" override to provide for basic. five-acre minimum parcel size for
the entire 35-acre parcel. There was no mention that this parcel would not be sub-
divided into five acre lot parcels; this is an ll-acre parcel .which would be subdivided
into two five-acre parcels as permitted by the ordinance. Before purchasing the pro-
perty they reviewed everything available on the splitting of the parcel and found
nothing .prohibiting such action. . Based on this, 'and a suggestion from Mr. Greenwood .,
that this could be subdivided, they purchased the parcel. There being no further ,
comment, the hearing was closed to audience participation and Council discussion ensued.
r
Mayor Mi 11 is begantheidisoussion:,stati'rg.;thereiwas common 'agreement .by the CouncIll
and Commi.ssion members who heard the-'Greenwood subdivision; that thi's parcel'was .to re~,
main in agriculture and not be further subdivided, even though the minutes for these h
meetings do not reflect the same. He then read a sentence from a letter dated March 18"
1977, to..Paul Sturges..from.., Mr. Greenwood reviewing what had been set in the appl icationl
for rezoning Of the' Greenwood property; .Mr. Sturgess (agent for Mr. Greenwood) wrote .,
as follows.. .".It is my understanding that the property. would sti 1.1 be in the "A" zone i'
but that it would have a "D" suffix and that the purpose of this suffix would be .to, .in!
effect, say that t'he approximately.S acre.parcels which we plan for the property could:
not be subsequently redivided by -the lot spl it method." _ .Mayor Mi 11 is stated this
showed the purpose of the "D" overrid'e was to prevent further subdivision of the Green-'j
wood property. It was .the general consensus of the .Counci J. that this parcel was a
unique agricultural parcel, which was not meant to be furth!:'j. subdivided. .Upon question:
from Council Member de Leon, Mr.. Poole' confirmed that Mr. .Greenwood had informed him of"
the fifty-foot easement on the recorded map and' had .suggested this parcel could be sub-':
divided. After discussion, Mayor Millis stated he.felt this proposed subdivision would
create substantial environmental damage to the property, and should be denied on thi's'
basis as. per Government Code Section 66474, Section E, wh'ich reads.. ."That the design
of the -subdivision or the proposed improvements are 1 ike1.y to cause substantial envir-
onmental damage or substantially and avoid~bty injure fish or wlldlife ~nd their habi-

PUB. HEAR.: APPEAL DENSITY CALCULATION PROP. SUBDIVISION B10, HALCYON RD. (LACKEY)-DENIED
Planning Directer Castre explained this was an appeal by Rebert Garing fer Mr. Lackey
en the staff's methed .of calculating density fer prepesed Subdivisien.B10 en Halcyen Read
at Tedd Lane and Olive Street. He explained density has always been based on the preperty
1 ines .of the land owned by the appl i.cant and has never included .land .dedicated te the City
as public rights .of way. Mr. Garing had planned nine lots en this parcel, but in .order
to meet acreage density requirements the preperty lines en this parcel weuld have te be
extended te the middle .of the street. After this review, Mayer Millis opened the hearing
to public comment,
MR. BOB GARING, 141 .Seuth Elm, presented various data.tq.substantiate his belief that
density shouid net have been censidered en this par~el as.it conferms te State.require-
ments, and the City's General Plan, and Zening and Subdivisien Ordinances in terms .of size
.of parcels. He reviewed the sizes required fer lets as per the City's .ordinance and said
this subdivision meets these requirements. He asked that' if the Ceuncil wanted density. ~
different from that which. is reflected in the .ordinance, the~cthe .ordinance should be
changed. City Engineer Karp alse requested that the .ordinance be clarified as this
situatien has had to be deale with befere. There being ne further cemment, the hearing.
was clesed and Council discussion e~sued.
It was the general censensus .of the Council that the divisien .of the property is to
be within the cenfines .of the .owner's preperty and it has never gene to the middle .of the
street inte publi~ rights of way. On the metien of Ceuncil Member Gallagher, secended .by

.of the .ownership.
. After brief discussien, it was .meved by Ceuncil Member .d~ Leen, sece~deq by Ceuncil

REQUEST OF RICHARD LEMON RE. PAVING OF LEMON LANE - CLARIFYZONING.ORDINANCE
Administrater .Butch explained that at the last Ceuncil meeting the Ceuncil had re-
ceived a request of clarificatien .of the zoning .ordinance frem Mr. Lemon, with regard to
the .requirement fer .paving 'the private read which provides access te Mr. Lemen's preperty.
Mr. Lemon had presented a 1 ist .of cases where private residences.i.n R-A zoned parcels had
not been required te pave their private access reads. . Planning Director Castre explained
that wh i 1 e 50% .of the cases pres.ented by Mr. Lemen sheu I d have had paved readways, the
City had experienced preblems in enfercing this ordinance; these preblems ne lenger exi.st
and the paving requirement en this readway is .clear. There was considerable di.scussien
between Mr. Lemen and the Ceuncil, with Mr. Lemon centending he sheuld.net have te pave
the read as it was net part .of .the .original bui lding permit he obtained .three years age..
He alse felt he sheuld net have to bear the cest .of the entire paving as s~veral ether
families alse used the same read. Because .of these cenditiens, he felt he sheuld net
have to pave the read iT respect i ve .of he'; the Counc i I .wi shed te interpret the .ord i nance
at this time. Mrs. Christine Phillips, .216 Pearwood, spoke neting blatant abuse .of the
read by constructien vehicles which contribute to the mud, dust and gravel which has te
be centinually cleaned frem their heme and preperty. .
~
After this discussien, it was the censensus of the Council that tpis readway must
be paved, and if the enforcement .of this .ordinance has been lax befere, it will ne lenger
