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 PAGE TWO 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 2 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 12, 1984 PAGE THREE 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: AYES: Risley, Zeuschner, Lemons, Shelton NOES: None ABSENT: Anderson B-2 ORDINANCE TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON QUINTANA FROM MORRO BAY BLVD. TO LA LOMA (2nd reading) Mr. Baxter stated that this was the second reading of an Ordinance that would reduce the speed limit on Quintana from Morro Bay Blvd. to La Loma from 35 mph to 30 mph. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the Ordinance be read by title and number only. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Risley and carried unanimously.

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. 4 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) MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 12, 1984 PAGE SIX AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Lemons, Shelton, Zeuschner Risley Anderson Mayor Shelton commented that he was happy to see the increase in cooperation between the different factions in the City and felt that the Community promotions activities was something that would 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 t he Committee consist of at least 8 members, with the City assisting in the advertising and recruitment of members at large, and that the Committee be charged 6 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 12, 1984 PAGE SEVEN with development of the best plan possible for fire protection in Morro Bay, with a prioritized listing of suggested actions.

Mr. Multari explained that the changes were considered minor, and that unless directed by Council, staff would not protest the ✓ evisions. Mr. Multari also noted that after the Coastal Commission action, the matter would be returned to the City for formal adoption and completion of the LCP. Mayor Shelton asked if there would be any impacts to the City in terms of economics, density or land use. Mr. Multari stated that there would be relatively little change o r effect from the suggested revisions. Mr. Multari stated that no action was necessary by Council.
