Use of the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for the 1979~80 Fiscal Year. Administrator Butch

He then reviewed the proposed uses for these funds along with requests for funding by

PUB. HRNG.: WILDWOOD RANCH REZONING CASE NO. 78-119 - DENIED WITHOUT. PREJUDICE
Planning Director.Castro reviewed for the CounciLWildwood Rezon.ing.Case No..78-1119,
220 Corbett Canyon Road, noting the Planning Commission's recommendation that this zon,
ing be changed from RAB-3 to P-D, Planned Development. He explained the Wildwood Ranch
proposed development. is located on a 33t acre parcel, utilizing a density of three units
per acre and is comprised of 100 single-family dwelling units, in duplex style, using a
clustering effect. Circulation through the project has outlets on Corbett Canyon Road
and Platino Lane. RecreatIonal facilitlis are provided along with parkin~ for recrea-
tional vehicles. The streets are all private. The development will also be phased.
After.this review, Mayor Millis opened the hearing to public comment.
ROBERT ROSSI, 547 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo (applicant's representative),
spoke to the Council and gave.a detailed presentation on the planned development. He
explained extensive study and planning went into this development to.mitigate the environ-
mental problems. in this area. . Corbett Canyon Road wi 11 be the primary entrance and '
exit to the project; Platino Lane will be an emergency access road only. Drainage, a
major problem, has been resolved by two drainage ponds to control the water and act as,
a landscape feature. All of the new hardsurface created on the development drajns into
the. ponds, then through a series.of pipes is.metered out into the Tally Ho Creek at a
slower rate; these ponds are designed on the size needed for a 100 year storm and. then
doubled in size. Building wLl1 occur in three. phases:. Phase Lwill be the top plateau,
with 49 units; Phase. II will be the middle area with 14 units; Phase III wi 11 be the
bottom area with. 37 units. Units range in size from 1400 to 1600 square feet with.
rural atmosphere and extensive open space. Also, the developers have agreed to pay $400
for each unit to the school district. The Council then viewed slides of similar pro-
jects in other areas of the State. .
I
There were several people present who spoke against the proposed development and,
presented their concerns to the Council. Of. major concern to many,residen~ in that area
was the drainage and traffic control. Several people expressed their doubt as to the
adequacy of the drainage system and whether it would be able to control all of the water
from the project--in particular that .it would not add any additional water to the Tally
Ho residential area. There were comme~ts on control of the water, the cleaning of Tal.ly
Ho Creek and requests that no bui lding be permitted unti 1 the drainage problem is under-
control in this area.. It was also. asked if these ponds would be sufficient protection
if they were already full and a storm hit the area bringing additional water which thel
ponds would not be able. to handle. There. was considerable concern with the traffic i
conditions which would be generated with the opening of Platino Lane. Opening this roa~
would increase the traffic in this area, which is already a potentially dangerous situa-
tion. . Also, the intersection is on the bottom of a very. steep hi 11 and housing there,
creates a blind ~urve. This will increase a dangerous situatIon as drivers often ~un ~.
thei r engines to make the hi 11 or are often bl inded by. the sun during the summer time;:
both of which endanger. residents and drivers in.. that area. Concern. was also expressed.'
about the increased density which this. development creates; although there are 33 acre~
involved in the total development, only five or six acres are buildable,. thus necessi-
tating placing the entire 100 units on five to six acres, leaving. sheer drop-offs in
several areas and only six to sixteen feet between some of the units, possibly. creat-..
ing an atmosphere of tenseness and frustration with such high density. There was con-
siderable discussion on the effects to the landscape in that some of the soi 1. is
extremely. erodible. and once it. is constructed on it will wash. away with the first rain;
also, there are several areas with shallow soi 15 and conglomerate rock which wi.ll not I
revegetate once disturbed, thus necessitating the bringing of top soil into. this area.,
Also there was concern that disruption of the soi Is around. the roots of the oaks would,'
cause the trees to die in a few years. It was felt that the quality of life could only
be maintained if the Platino.area and. Wildwood Ranch were kept separate communities.
The following people were present and spoke against the development: CLIFF CHELQUIST,
286 Oro Drive; FRED BLACKBURN, 775 Huasna. Road;. SANDY FACCHETTI, 248 Tally Ho Road;
JOHN SPRAGUE, 212 Tally Ho Road; JOHN ASHBAUGH, 535 Cuesta Place; SHARON OLSEN, 516
Platino Lane; HOLLY WILSON, 508 Platino Lane; MANUEL SEBASTIAN, 620 Corral Place;

After these comments, the' public hearing was closed and Council discussion ensued on
matters of density, traffic and conditions of the,development. The main concern of the
Counc i I was that the dens i ty was much too high for th i s area: al so the Counci 1 was con-
cerned about the private road system. ,After considerable discussion, it was moved by
Council Member Gallagher and seconded by Council Member de Leon that the Wildwood Ranch
Rezoning Case No. 78-119 be denied without prejudice on the basis of the following re-
commendations:
a) The private road system not be accepted and road sections be built to regular road
standards:
b) Phasing the development is acceptable, however the total number of units is unac~
ceptable for the terrain: the developer should come back with a more sensitive,plan
taking into consideration the items addressed tonight at the,Council meeting, such as
the type of soil;
~
c) Regarding the blocking off of Platino Lane--should the developer come back with
fewer units this may not be asgreat a concern as it is now:
d) Drainage would have to be acceptable to' the,City's standards: and
e) The developer may be allowed to come back to the Council with a new pian reducing
the number of units.

APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO CONFORM ZONING MAP AND GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP
Mayor Mi 11 is explained this was a publ ic hearing to consider approval and adopt'ion
of proposed amendments to the Zoning Map, which would bring the Zoning Map into confor-
mance with the GeneraJ ,Plan's Land Use Map. Planning Director Castroreviewed the pro-
posed amendments, explaining this is the final phase of a project to make the Land Use
consistent with the Zoning Map. He explained that Item No, 4, the,Williams~ property,
has already been contested by Mr. Williams and so it was requested that Item No.4 on
the Zoning Map Amendments memo dated June 7, 1979, from,Tom Sullivan to Thomas Butch,
be deleted from the amendments--Council concurred.
After this review, Mayor Millis,opened the hearing to public comments. MYRON
WILLIAMS, Traffic Way and Cherry Avenue, confirmed Item No.4 was deleted from the amend-
ments and will be studied further and brought back to the Council.
Also, the Counci 1 had received a request 'from Ml:s., Hart"asking tha't Item No.9 ,I
dealing with,her property on Hart Lane be deleted from the amendments as she did not
wish to see her property rezoned from R-l to C-B-D~-Council concurred to exclude Mrs.
Hart's property from Item No.9. At the request of the owner of the remaining property
on this Item, i.e. Parcel,No. 25, Tract No. 191, the Williams property, this property was
retained in Item NO.,9 to change the zoning from R-l to Central Business District. There
being no, further comment, the public hearing was closed'and Council discussion ensu~d.
It was moved by Council Member Gallagher and seconded, by Council Member Smith that,
the amendments listed on the Zoning Map Amendments memo dated June 7, 1979, be approved
with the exception of Jtem No.4 which is to be deleted, and with the change in, Item
No.9 that only Parcel No. 25 of Tract No. 191, the Williams' property) be changed to ~
Central Business District and that' the Hart property, be excluded.from Item NO.,9, and
that staff be instructed, to prepare an ordinance with the proposed amendments noted
above:, on the following roll call vote:, AYES: ,Council Members G~llagher, de Leon,'
Pope, Smith and Mayor Millis: NOES: None: ABSENT: None: the foregoing motion was unani-
mously carried.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - DENIED
Planning Director Castro explained that based upon a, request received by" Mr. Mitch
Walker for, the development of a SeniorHousingproject on South' Elm Str~et, the staff and
Planning Commission studied theaccommodat;tonof such ~ project either through a new,
district, overlays on zoning or ame'ndments to the Planned Development District. It "was
determined that the best method would be an amendment to the Planned Development District
to provide the flexibility to consider alternate parking, height and lot size require-
ments toaccomodate' such a project; however, the question of density would still have to
be identified on this district. After this review, Mayor Millis opened the public hear-
i ng to aud i ence comment. "
Several people spoke against the proposed changes based upon objections to the con-
struction of a Seniors' Housing Faci I ity on the South Elm Street' location. There was no
objection to the facility itself, but rather to its location based on the increased density
created by adding 100 units on a I! acre parcel and how the Fair Oaks area, which is

already heavily populated with two-story garden apartments, .wil1 experience even great~r
density. Concern was. also expressed regarding the three-story'height of the building'
because of a lack.of fire protection and.the blight it would create on the skyline.
Also, increased traffic will be generated'on'Elm Street and Fair Oaks Ave~ue. These ,
amendments to the Planned Development District would be appl icable throughout the en-'I
tire City, except for those areas already zonegP-D, and any interested developer could"1
use this tool. The following people spoke against .the proposed project: GEORGE MANA,:,

nue; BOB McDONALD, 1165 Fair Oaks Avenue; TOM HARRAH, 1171 Ash; MRS. MARTINO, 317 So.

~
MR. MITCH WALKER, 242 Garden; representative for the appl icant, spoke to the Coun~
cil explaining that the Council is not to consider the-pr6ject at this time; .rather th~
Council is to consider the proposed amendments to the Planned Development. District, ' ,i
which are being considered to create the necessary f1exibi1 ity to begin the planning. "
of such a project. He felt the Council should not hear comments on the project at this
time, but should wait until the project was formally presented to the Council. Also,
the reason the Planned Development District needs the flexibility these amendments would
create, is to allow for development of the more difficult'sites in t~e City, since that
is where the majority of the building will now be oCcurdng in the City. Mayor Millis I
confi rmed that the Counc i 1 was to cons i der the proposed' amendments to the Planned "
Development District, however as these amendments were created to accommod~te the Senio~
Citizens' Housing Project it was difficult to divorce the two items in discussion; he '
also confirmed that these amendments would apply to any new. Planned Development Dis-
tricts in the City'and not just the proposed project on South Elm Street..
Several people spoke in favor of.the proposed project noting the real need in this
community.for Senior Citizen Housing at a decent cost, and the necessity to plan and "
provide for the Seniors in this area who helped build the community. The following
people spoke in favor of.the'project: MORT BALDWIN, 1046 Brockway; WINNIE WHEELER,
240 Spruce; BILL RANELLETTI, 258 B-17 Aspen; CARL HOGAN, 1255 Poplar;
. MR;' MONROE WEINER,. 18645. Sherman Way, Reseda, developer of. the Senior Citizens'
Housing Project, spoke to the Council giving background information on the project to I
help clear up any misconceptions that had been created. He explained the project was
approved by HUD, and it is'not a money making project; ,it is a tax' benefit to. the
developer and money made from it will go toward' maintenance and paying the taxes.
This 100 unit project will generate slightly over 100 people, all Senior Citizens on
limited incomes under.a rent-subsidized program.
There being no further public comment, the public hearing was closed and Council
discussion ensued. The majority of the Council .fe1t that there was a real need for
Senior Citizens' housing in this area, however this project had too many problems in
terms of density, height and fire protection. It was felt the change in the Planned
Development District would leave the "door open" to unscrupulous developers and that
it would be better for the entire community if this project'was constructed. to current,
City standards. Council Member Pope felt that the City'would still have final approval'
and control 6f any Planned Development project so the amendments proposed would not
offer considerable problems in development and planning; he also felt the proposed
amendments could'be adopted as long as it'was used as'a tool for the entire City and
not just for the Senior Citizens' project.

PUBLIC HEARING ON LAND USE - BUENA VISTA TERRACE AND BADEN PROPERTY
Planning Director.Castro r~viewed for ,the Council ,the finding of the .Planning Com-
mission on the Land Use c1assific'ation for Buena Vista Terrace and the Baden property;;
the Planning Commission felt'Buena Vista Terrace should be'classified R-3, High Densit~,
as the condominiums were already located on this property and that the Baden'property "
should be classified R-3 as the logical transition for the parcels in that ~rea.
Attorney Shipsey informed the Council that according to Municipal Code regulations the
Council could not consider'changes in .the General Plan and Zoning at the same time; he,
advised the Counci 1 'could consider the Land Use at this time and set a publ ic hearing
on the zoning at another Council meeting. It was the consensus of 'the Council that
th'e Land Use classifi'cation be heard at this time and that 'the zoning would be set at

the end of the pubiic hearing. The proposed amendment to the'Land Use classification is
to change:both the Buena Vista Terrace property and'the Baden property from Low DensHy
to HIGH DENSITY. The Counci 1 then reviewed the location of the property involved in: the
proposed change. After this review, Mayor'Mil1is declared the public hearing open to
audj ence comment. .,,*.. I
PAUL GEIHS, -attorney for the applicant, read a memo dated'May 23, 1979,'from ~taff
to the Planning Commission noting staff's recommendations on this property; he then re-
viewed what happened at the Planning Commission meeting when this item was considered and
reviewed the Commission's recommendation that these properties be labeled R-3, High Den-
sity. He explained this classification would be consistent with existing multiple devel-
opment along the same side of the street and single family units on this lot would not
be desirable. Also, 'both of these properties have been zoned R-3 for many year~. High'
Density would create a buffer zone between the single-family residence~ and the commercial
area. He asked that the Councii follow the recommendation of the' Planning Commission.'
COUNCIL MEMBER GALLAGHER LEFT'AND IS NOW ABSENT.'
u
MR. SIEGFRIED C. BADEN, Brighton Avenue, also spoke in favor of making the Baden
property'R-3 in Land Use noting it has been zone R-3 for many years and that when he
bought the property it was advertised as R-3 and C-N.
Several people spoke against the proposed change stating the desire to keep this'
property Low Density to conform with other'single-family dwelling units in that area and
the desire to prohibit any additional apartments in that area: The following people '
spoke against the proposed change: E. K. ROSE, 1591 Newport; LOU DAVIS, 1431 Newport;
HELEN DORSI, Newport Avenue; CORA HIGDON, 183 Fairview Drive; ELIZABETH JACKSON; 208
Fairview Drive; MADELEINE STEELE, Hillcrest Drive; FLORENCE ,ROSE; i305 Brighton. '
LAWRENCE VANDEVEER, 756 Myrtle, former Planning Commissioner, explained the reason-
ing behind the Planning Commission's recommendation, stating R-3 was recommended as that
had been the zoning on the property for several years and it was felt that R-3 provi:ded
a much better land use for that parcel and that it was a more appropriate classification
than R-l.
As there were no further public comments, the publ ic hearing was closed to audience
comment and Council discussion ensued.' After considerabl,e'discussion, it was moved by'
Council Member Pope'and seconded by Council Member de Leon to return the entire packet'
to the Planning Commission with the recommendation that'the Baden property be approved
as R-2, Medium Low Density, and that the Buena Vista Terrace be approved as R-3, High
Density Land Use. On the foliowing vote: AYES; Council Members Pope and de'Leon;
NOES: Council Member Smith and Mayor Millis; ABSENT: Council Member Gallagher; the.
foregoing motion was denied.' '" '
After conUnued discussion, it was moved by Council Member de Leon; seconded by
Council Member Smith and carried, with Council Member Pope'abstaining, that the Buena
Vista Terrace property be classified as High Density on the General Plan's Land Use Map.
It was moved by Council Member de Leon and seconded by Council Member Pope that'the
