---
Mr. Multari reviewed the City Council's previous direction
regarding this matter, and noted that deliberation had been
continued to this meeting, to allow staff to provide additional
information and clarification. Mr. Multari noted that Council
considered several possible refinements to the definition of
"infill" which were incorporated into draft Resolutions provided
for Council's consideration.
Mr. Multari stated that Council had requested additional
information and input regarding the inclusion of zone change in
the inf ill definition, Mr. Multari recommended that this
criteria not be included, as Council has authority to set
appropriate zoning and uses already.
Mr. Multari also recommended that if project size were to be used
as part of the inf ill. criterion, that it be increased to 20% of
1
MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 12, 1984

the annual water allocation rather than 10% as suggested earlier.
Mr. Multari noted that this would also apply to larger projects,
where any one phase did not exceed 20% of the annual residential
water. allotment.
Mr. Multari noted that Council had also requested a further
definition of subdivision, and recommended that the existing
definition of subdivision in accordance with State laws and local
o rdinance be continued in the water allocation program.
Mr. Multari discussed the Coastal Commission's direction
✓ egarding allocation of water to new subdivisions during the
fourth quarter, and stated that this policy had been clarified
w ith Coastal Commission staff to result in a new understanding of
w ater allocations for subdivisions. Mr. Multari stated that
infill subdivisions may be eligible in any quarter, while non-
infill subdivisions may be eligible only in the fourth quarter.
Councilmember Lemons requested clarification regarding
condominium airspace subdivisions.
Mr. Multari clarified the issue and noted that the example given
by Mr. Lemons would be considered infill subdivision.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that Council adopt
Resolution No. C, amending the operating procedures for
t he water equivalency award program for 1984 as
submitted. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Zeuschner and carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Lemons, Zeuschner, Risley, Shelton
N OES: None
ABSENT: Anderson
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council adopt
Resolution B, a Resolution interpreting Coatal Land Use
P lan Policies related to the allocation of water
service to new subdivisions, as submitted.
Councilmember Zeuschner seconded the motion.
Ray Gallo stated that this Resolution as adopted would preclude
the VRM project from competing for water, and objected to the
segregation on the basis of project size. Mr. Gallo urged
Council to reconsider their approval of these Resolutions.
Councilmember Zeuschner felt that perhaps non-infill subdivisions
should not be allowed to apply for water until such a time as all

infill development has been satisfied. Councilmember Zeuschner
stated that he was concerned with not only the size of certain
projects but the speed or pace of the development as well.
Ray Kaltenback stated that the Water Advisory Committee would be
looking into the possibility of water from the Cabrillo property.
Councilmember Risley stated that the language contained in
Resolution C as adopted, addresses the potential future need to
change the criterion for infill.
Councilmember Lemons felt that the Resolution should contain
language to address the priority of low or moderate income multi-
family and single family subdivisions.
Mr. Multari stated that this was implied in the language
contained in the Resolution, however additional language to
clarify the issue could be added.
S teve Sweetwood felt that non-infill subdivisions should not be
included in the water allocation model as this would be a special
t reatment.
MOTION: Councilmember. Zeuschner moved that the Resolution be
amended to add language to reflect the priority for
n ewly subdivided multi -family and single family low or
moderate income housing for all four quarters. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember. Risley and carried
u nanimously. (4-0-1)
Council then voted on the motion to approve the Resolution as
amended:

C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 RECOMMENDATION FROM COMMUNITY PROMOTIONS COMMITTEE REGARDING
EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FROM 1983-84 ALLOCATION
Mr. Baxter summarized the report from Councilmember Anderson, and
stated that the Committee was requesting a budget revision to
reallocate funds saved through cancellation of several
promotional ads that were not showing results, to be used for a
toll -free 800 number and to help with the printing of the Motel
Associations brocheure. Mr. Baxter also noted the Chamber of
Commerce request for $500 from the Community Promotion Fund to be
u sed in the Highway 1 reopening campaign.
Dick Weiss, President of the Chamber. of Commerce, reviewed the
✓ esults of several promotional ads placed by the Committee, and
n oted that the ad in Westways Magazine had shown the most
✓ esults, and the Committee was recommending that this ad be
continued.
Councilmember Risley asked what type of responses had been
✓ eceived and what results have been shown from this advertising.
Mr. Weiss stated that the readers respond by requesting
information, and that it was too soon to see solid results such
as increased occupancy and sales tax.
Council discussed the requested expenditures for promotions, and
the benefits of the toll -free number.
Councilmember Lemons felt that this money was committed already
for promotional use and that the Council should allow the
Committee to follow through on their recommendations.
Councilmember Lemons felt that the toll -free number would be an
invitation to many people to call and get free information about
the City.

MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 12, 1984
P AGE FIVE
Councilmember Risley objected to this type of promotion, and felt
t hat it was getting away from the Council's previous direction.
Councilmember Risley also felt that the City should not be paying
for the Motel Associations advertising brocheure any more than it
should pay for other community groups advertising.
Betty Floerky stated that the Motel Association had published the
brocheure for several years, and that last year the Association
h ad requested assistance from the Chamber of Commerce in
publishing this phamplet.
Mayor Shelton stated that he was concerned about the results of
any promotional activity and felt that the off-season or winter
months should be promoted to attract tourists when they were most
n eeded. Mayor Shelton questioned the potential of the toll -free
n umber to do this.
Mr. Weiss explained how the toll -free number would work and noted
that it would allow people to contact the City for any type of
information about motels, restaurants, activities and services
available.
Councilmember. Zeuschner reminded Council that no immediate
✓ esults should be expected from this initial promotional activity
and that it was the long term results that would be beneficial.
Howard Gaines objected to the increase in promotional spending
and the lack of accountability from the Chamber of Commerce.
Ray Kaltenback felt that the City should proceed with the
W estways advertising but not with the toll free number.
Councilmember Zeuschner stated that the question of
accountability could be resolved by having the Chamber submit a
✓ eport on the useage of the toll -free number each month along
w ith their monthly activities report.
Councilmember. Risley felt that the City was heading in a
d angerous direction and should not be expending this money on
t his type of promotions when there are so many unmet community
n eeds.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the Community
Promotions Committee recommendations be approved as
submitted, with a monthly report to be provided
✓ egarding the toll -free 800 number. The motion was
seconded by Mayor Shelton and carried by the following
✓ ote:
Mt* $3,000 for publication of Motel Asscn. flyer and
$5,404 for monthly service charge for 800 number
and $500 for Hghwy51 reopening ceremonies)

be a benefit to all residents and urged support by the entire
community.
C-2 FORMATION OF A CITIZEN'S AD -HOC COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP A
MASTER PLAN
Chief Zerr stated that the City has made progress in fire
protection during the past few years, and to assure continued
progress in the future, he was recommending that an ad -hoc
committee be established to work on the development of a master
plan for fire protection. Chief Zerr stated that citizen input
was desired to provide direction regarding not only the level of
service but long range planning as well.
Mr. Baxter suggested that the Council provide direction
✓ egarding the selection of the Committee and their charge.
Councilmember Risley felt that Chief Zerr's recommendation
✓ egarding the consistency of the committee was satisfactory and
suggested that Council approve the report.
Councilmember Zeuschner felt that perhaps the City could
advertise for the three members at large, with appointments from
the various commissions and committees provided by the committees
themselves.
Councilmember. Lemons felt that the gentlemen suggested by Chief
Zerr to serve as a member at large should be appointed.
Mayor Shelton felt that perhaps the committee should be expanded
to allow for additional members at large.
There was additional discussion regarding the method of selecting
committee membrs.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Council approve
t he recommendation from Chief Zerr regarding the
appointment of members to an Ad -Hoc Committee, and that
