Attorney Shipsey had researched :\:he requirements 'for the granting of absences for military duty; in his opinion there was rio restriction which mandated that an appointed commissioner be given leave of absence for military duty--it was the Council's option whether or not to grant the leave. After brief discussion on the necessity for retaining a full Planning Commission, it was moved by ! Council Member de Leon, seconded by Council Member Pope and unanimously carried, to deny the request for Leave of Absence from Planning Commissioner Ron Harris, for the period ,of May 14, 1979 to August 24, 1979.

WAYNE FRISBY, Sari Jose, stating they were not in favor of the rezoning and wished to be excluded from the improvement district. There being no further comment, the hearing was closed to the audience and Council discussion ensued. After'considerable discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that the rezoning be approved on the condition that the problem of drainage be resolved prior to any development, and with the condition that, in the ordinance, all improvements be in- stalled prior to the issuance of any building permit. After discussion, it was 'moved by Council Member de Leon, seconded by Council Member Pope and unanimously carried, that the Council approves the Rezoning of Canyon Way, James Way and portion of Tally Ho Road, as designated in Rezoning Case No. 79-124'& 79-126, from RAB3 to RAB2, and staff is instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance, which is to include the condition that the drainage problem be resolved and all improvements installed prior to the issuance of any bui lding permits or developments in that area.

CLARIFICATION OF COUNCIL POLICY ON PRELIMINARY PROJECT REVIEWS Planning Director Castro explained the Planning Commission was requesting the Council clarify its position on the subject of preliminary review of projects and/or rescind i{s policy restricting the Commission's review of proposed projects. He explained.the Com~is- sion has always been open minded about study sessions and review of proposed projects, Iland now.needed some direction from the Council as to how to proceed with this restrictive .1 pol icy. 'i ., M~yor Millis explained that this policy was to prohibit the review of specific prd- jects'at specific locations. It was not meant to undermine the study session or revieJ procedures, as long as these procedures spoke in general terms and not with regard to il specific development 'projects.. Approval of a project should not be forthcoming or deni,;ed until such time as a public hearing has been held on the development and surrounding p~o- pertyowners notified of said hearing. Consequently, general ideas and suggestions coLi'ld be discussed and reviewed, however review of specific projects is not permissible. :i. . i REPORT ON STATE COASTAL COMM I SS I ON MEET I NG OF APR I L 18, 1979 Ii Planning Director Castro informed the Council that the California State Coastal Com- mission had voted in favor of excluding Arroyo Grande from the Coastal Commission bounJI daries, at their meeting of Apri 1 18, 1979.

PROPOSAL TO REQUIRE GAS STATIONS TO DISPLAY COMPLETE GASOLINE PRICE LISTS - DENIED Administrator Butch reviewed Council Member Gallagher's request, from the. last Cou~- cil meeting, that gasol ine stations be required to post all gasoline prices at their stations. He explained this would constitute a change in the Zoning Ordinance, and would have to be referred to the Planning Commission for public hearing, if approved. Council discussion ensued on this proposal, with some Council Members feeling that the sign or- dinance already adopted by the City is not fully enforced, and this proposal would add additional regulations, which would.also require constant enforcing--the City does not have the current manpower to enforce such a proposa Lit was the fee 1 i ng of some Counc i 1 Members that it would be better to enforce the current ordinance, and take care of deter- iorated signs that are already in existence, rather than adding to the problem. Council Member Gallagher spoke in favor of the proposal, stating he felt it was a social service which should be implemented for the citizens of the community. After considerable dis- iU-I'.^' cussion, it was moved by Council Member Gallagher, and seconded by Mayor Millis that this I item be "referred to the Planning Commission for public hearing--on the following roll I call vote: ;.
