2. P.D. 137 - COBLE-BRAMBLETT
` Recommendation: Consideration of appeal by applicants
from the Planning Commission denial of a planned develop-
ment district in-lieu of a zone change to allow a 120-unit
residential condominium project on the SE corner of Escoba
Drive,an-d El Cielo Road.
Director of Community Development reviewed his report,
dated June 2, 1982, indicating the Commission's denial
of the 120 units requested, which represented an
increase in density from a maximum allowable of 36
units; that the Commission and staff determined that the
area was not designated by the General Plan as high
density, and the Zoning Map has shown the area R-1-C
for fifteen years; that the increase is 230% over
that allowed, and the applicant has appealed on the
basis of a different interpretation of the General Plan,
that the project meets housing needs , and that the
traffic projections are not correct. He stated that (116)
in cases where a density bonus has been granted to
satisfy the Housing Element, a series of restrictions
r are applied, two of which relate to limiting value of
the property and owner occupancy; that applicant is
not willing to allow the density bonus restrictions
to prevail for the higher density; that applicant believes
the 840 trip per day projection is high, however, such
projection is not limited to trips by owners within the
project, but trips associated with the project, e.g. ,
waste disposal service, deliveries, etc; that applicant
referred to the dual sewer requirement, and although
possibility of hookups to the treatment plant are being
considered, that policy remains in effect and is still
a requirement; and that a petition was filed with the
Planning Commission signed by 23 residents in the area
opposing the increased density. He explained the
surrounding zoning and read the findings of the Commission,
� - as detailed in its minutes of April 28, 1982.
Councilman Doyle stated that he had a casual conversation
with Mr. Kattmeyer, resident in the area, who expressed
I ,
concerns regarding the project.

Mayor declared the hearing opened. ,
y
Hank Hampton, Coble-Bramblett, stated that the site is
leased land; that a previous project was proposed for
36 units ranging in size from 1 ,800 to 2,500 sq. ft. , A
however, it did not come about; that the community needs
units in the lower price range that the average person
can afford to buy; that the property is surrounded by '
R-3, stables, general traffic in the area, and nearby
proposed equestrian center; that the site should be
designed for medium density, i .e. , 120 units are pro-
posed on 12 acres, which is not high density; that it
was never" understood by the developer that there would
be opposition to the fact that part of the property is
high density; that regarding direct access to the highway,
the site is located 180 feet from the highway at which
-
point there is a controlled entry; that he did not
believe the project would generate 840 trips per day;
that the project will not intrude on neighbors vistas ,
although the tops of some buildings may be seen; that
the property has been zoned R-1-C for many years, but
no one has planned for it; that the General Plan shows
high density residential , and he believed the developer 's
interpretation should be included in the designation; and
that the project is needed in the community. In answer
to questions by Council , he stated that the site contains
70% open space; that the units are small ; with large
patios; full kitchens, and units which are livable, CONT 'D
simply scaled down in size; that it would be difficult (116)
to determiine who will buy the units; or what the ownership
occupancy factor will be; and that there are people who ,
do not qualify for the density bonus projects with
regard to low income levels, but also do not wish to
spend a lot of money.
John Kappmeyer, 3506 E1 Gaucho, stated that the entrance
to the project is via a 2-lane street adjacent to a
church; that there are. 30 homes in the area, and traffic
flow problems exist at the intersection; that CalTrans
proposes modifying the Escoba intersection; that the .-
project' i:s not conducive to the neighborhood; that the
residents in the area favored the previous 36-unit
proposal ; that the proposal only appears as a' way 'of 4
bailing out of a bad investment; that flood potential
in the area, and possible evacuation of residents,
should be considered; and that he represents opposition
by the neighborhood.
Ray Burkett, President of Los Compadres, 562 Bedford, stated
that the Board and general membership of the association
unanimously agreed that the Planning Commission action
to deny ;the project should be supported; that the project
is not compatible with the General Plan and does not
represent good planning for the use of that property.
Mayor requested that Mr. Burkett provide the association's
action in• writing.
Woman Resident, 3554 Escoba, stated that homes in the
neighorhood have sold for $65,000 'plus, that she did not
believe the stables have a downgrading effect; and that
single-family homes on 10,000 sq. ft. lots are saleable
in the area.

f 2. P.D. 137 (Continued)
Mr. Hampton stated that he believed the neighbors and
Los Compadres are opposed because they will lose the
view across open space; that the housing is needed
for the community and will support housing and economic
goals, and it should be considered whether the site
is suitable for that type development.
There being no further appearances, the hearing was
closed.
In answer to question by Council , City Attorney stated
that statement by Director of Community Development
that the designation on the General Plan is not a precise
location is correct. He noted that there is a case CONT 'D
pending in another county that designation on the (116)
4, zoning map is precise and bears as much weight as
the general plan.
Councilman Doyle stated that he has viewed the site,
and in recalling the previous project, it appeared to
-� be more appropriate in scope and detail ; that the
increased density would have a negative impact on
the area; that traffic will be generated by the project
by other than those who reside there; that the surrounding
neighborhood must be given consideration; and that he
would concur with the Planning Commission action.
It was moved by Doyle, seconded by Ortner, and unani-
mously carried, that Planning Commission action be
upheld and that the appeal be denied.
3. 1982-83 SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
;. Recommendation: That the Council adopt annual resolu-
tion required to continue collecting sewer service
charges on the tax roll .
Finance Director reviewed his report, noting that
collection in this manner results in savings to
the City, increases collectibles than might other-
wise achieved; and that there is no increase in
the rate. (140)
v
Mayor declared the hearing open; there being no
' appearances, the hearing was closed.
Resolution 14251 , establishing necessary policies
and procedures to implement recommendation, was
presented; after which, it was moved by Maryanov,
seconded by Foster, and unanimously carried, that
Resolution 14251 be adopted.

3A. FRED APOLLO VARIANCE 6.320
Recommendation: Consideration of appeal from Planning
Commission denial of reduced setbacks for a carport
and accessory gazebo-type structure at 795 N. Patencio
Road.
Councilman Maryanov stated that he would abstain
from discussion and voting.
Director of Community Development stated that the
applicant was stopped during construction for violation
of ordinance and without proper building permit; that
the Planning Commission approved the increased watl.l height,
but did not find any grounds for granting the variance
and determinedthat it was not in keeping with the
neighborhood to allow the reduced setbacks. He stated
that the setback variances are from 2-4 ft; that the
gazebo is adjacent to developed lot, and the carport
is adjacent to vacant property.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Fred Apollo, 795 N. Patencio, stated that the violation (145)
was discovered when building inspection was requested
on other permits which he had obtained; that the carport
was built over an old carport; and that there was no
other place on the. property that it could be installed,
without removing 50-year old Eucalyptus trees.,
E.J. Edmond, 35031 Vaquero Road, stated that he constructed
the open patio at the time of remodelling; that he
was under the impression that the setback was 10-ft;
that he called for inspection; that he did not realize
a building permit was needed for the gazebo, which was
not meant to be an enclosed structure; that the gazebo ++
does not have a roof, was built of left-over materials
as a shade area for the tennis courts, and was not
meant to be misrepresented to anyone; that in digging
footings for the carport, 'evidence was' found that ,
something else had been built there at one time; and
that a, ,3-ft variance is what is being requested.
There being no further appearances, the hearing was
closed.'
Councilman Doyle stated that he viewed the location and J
found it difficult to find the construction; that he
believed the building inspector acted properly in citing ,
the violation, and the Commission was proper in considering
the variance; that the modification is of a minor nature
and does not impact the neighborhood; that he believed
the property owner made an honest mistake; and he favored
granting the variance.
Councilman Foster stated that he did not have any problem '
with. the gazebo, but questioned if the carport could be
made to conform to setbacks.
Director of Community Development stated that the site
is restricted by mature trees and precludes moving it
in; that relocation of support posts and limiting to
one car, would increase the setback, but the overhang
would still bein violation; and that possibly it could
be moved forward, but the setback would remain unchanged.
Mayor stated he believed it was a reasonable variance.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
4. McCALLUM CIVIC BUILDING - DISPOSITION
Redevelopment Director stated that as a result of discussion
at the study session, recommendation to rescind previous
intent to fund development of 120 parking spaces for
the McCallum Civic Building has been modified to defer
such action, and explore lease/sale options. He stated
that such action would address the following:
a) Whether to link parking development with the
potential sale or lease - DDAC recommended leasing
without regard to the minimum amount of 70 spaces ;
b) Secure requests for proposal for sale or lease on (117)
the basis that up to 70 spaces would be allowed for
any type of use being proposed, and if the building
is sold, $675,000 be allocated to parking which
r would be equal to the in-lieu amount; if leased,
lease revenues up to that amount be allocated to
j` parking;
c) 70 spaces apply to daytime use, but not to night-
time use of the auditorium;
d) Daytime uses which exceed 70 spaces not be allowed
until the parking problem is resolved in the vicinity
for the number in excess of 70; allow total use of
building if those deficient in excess of 70 can be
provided within the proximity of the area;
e) Lease be for 10 years; provide cost-of-living adjustment
after 5 years;
f) Minimum monthly lease value be established at $12,700;
minimum sale price at $1 .2 million; and appraisals made
' to verify such amounts (calculated by staff) ;
g) Continue exploring providing parking along with develop-
ment of Holiday Inn.
City Manager suggested that staff reduce the recommendation
to writing and return to Council . He stated that rescission
of action relating to Holiday Inn would preclude any possibility
to use it for parking.
It was the consensus of the Council that staff prepare proposal
in summary form for Council review and consideration. So
ordered.

r Recommendation: That the Council award contract for
modifications and additions to heating and air condi-
tioning in the EOC to Utility Air Conditioning, Inc. ,
only bidder, in amount of $20,350, in order to
accomodate new computer equipment.
Councilman Foster stated he was concerned whether the
best bid was being obtained, and why there was only
one bid, when five subcontractors participated in
the "walk through. " He moved that this item be
' continued for clarification. with the intent that
�. it be rebid; said motion seconded by Doyle.
In answer to questions by Council ,Building & Safety
Director stated that during the "walk through, " the
consultant spent a great of time explaining the
project, and a number of questions were responded
to; that it is a difficult project; and that he
was not aware of why others did not bid, however,
' it would be possible to contact them to so determine;
if same specs used, could call contractors back for
another walk-through; and that specs contained everything
needed, although perhaps not as complete as could have
been, i .e. , size of equipment, ducts, humidifiers, and
redirection of return air.

19.. CITY HALL (EOC) AIR CONDITIONING MODIFICATION (Continued) 1,
Councilman Foster stated that it should be possible
to complete the project in four weeks„ unless. special
equipment needs to be delivered, which could take
more time; that there is no way of knowing whether
rebidding would recover the amount of the penalty;
and that he desired more information.
a
Councilman Maryanov stated that since the computer CONT 'D
equipment is not to be installed until August, the (117) �
penalty may be negotiable; that he was concerned,
in view of today's economy, that there was only one
bid; and suggested possibility that this matter be
brought back to Council in adjourned session on
June 5, when it reviews the 1982-83 budget.
City Manager stated that checking with the contractors
as to reasons for not bidding, would indicate whether
there wasa problem with the specs. t
Substitute motion by Doyle, seconded by Foster, to
continue this matter to June 5, 1982 for report by ,
staff on reasons for lack of bids, was unanimously
adopted.
20. COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
Mayor announced his appointment of George Whitney,
upon recommendation of Council Committee, to fill
the unexpired term of Grace Shallies to the Downtown (60)
Development Advisory Commission, "ending June 30, 1984;
after which; it was moved by Doyle, seconded by foster,
and unanimously carried, that said appointment be
approved.
Council Committees for board/commission applications:
City Manager stated that the City Attorney has given
an opinion on existing policy and the effect thereon
of the direct election of the mayor; and noted that
potential changes in the policy may lead- to later
review by the Council .
'
City Attorney stated that the Government Code provides (114)
that when the mayor is directly elected, appointments
to boards, commissions and committees shall be made by '
the mayor; that certain provisions of the Council 's L.
existing policy are not in accord with the Government
Code and are superceded by State Law; that he intended "
to develop revision for future action, although not
major, the significant change would be that
Council Committees would make recommendations to -the Mayor
rather than to the Council-as-a-whole for appointment or
nomination to be made by the mayor and approved or not
approved by the Council-as-a-whole; that there is nothing
in the State Law that would require change in the applica-
tion process, but gives perog'ative to the mayor as to
whether it shall be followed; that the existing policy
does not make provisions for closing dates for filing ,
applications, and the Government Code provision would not be
limited by the terms of the policy as to application process,
i .e. , a person who did not file could be asked to serve and
the mayor is not limited to choose from those who make
application.

20. COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS (Continued)
In answer to questions by Council , City Attorney stated
that the Government Code refers to boards, commissions
and committees with broad enough language, and in the
absence of finite definition, to include Council Committees,
' such as those to review commission applications, which
�- would mean that those would be appointed by the Mayor
and approved by the Council ; that the application process
` is a means of encouraging people to come forward, but is
not a limitation on appointment; that the Council --as-
a-whole cannot change the perogative of the Mayor as
provided in the Government Code; that the Mayor's power
under State Law is limited to appointment and does not CONT 'O
include termination or dismissal ; that existing' policy (114)
~ required a person to follow the application process in
order to be eligible to be considered for appointment -
Government Code supercedes that - policy may, remain in
effect, but perogative whether it does rests with the Mayor;
i and that there is nothing to preclude accepting
applications after a closing date has been set.
Councilwoman Ortner stated that there is confusion as
to how the Council will proceed, and if the existing
policy is not to be followed, then the procedure should
be changed and whatever will be in place should commence
now; and that ground rules needed to be established and
specific clarification of what the Council will be doing.
Mayor stated that he supported the committee interview
recommendation process ; that applications should still
be accepted up to and perhaps during the interview process;
and that committees should continue to make recommendations.
City Manager stated that it should be understood that
* it may be that some committees may have completed their
work when applications are received, and people should
not be lead to expect that more interviews will be
scheduled, particularly if application is filed near
the end of the month.
Councilman Maryanov stated that there is agreement '-he
process should be changed, but it is not an easy problem;
that the Council is interested in tracking people who
are interested in participation in a manner that is
fair, encouraging and affords opportunity to do so; and
that before the annual selection occurs again, the process
should be changed.
Councilman Doyle stated that he could see the possible
elimination of the application, but that such would not
negate the interview process.
Mayor appointed various Council Committees, as detailed
in Resolution 14267; after which,, it was moved by Doyle,
seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously carried, that
i Resolution 14267 be adopted.
