• MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 13, 1999
3) If the 1/2 day pilot program is successful and meets the TDA farebox requirement,
consider implementing a six month pilot program with existing fare structure to
provide Saturday MBDAR service for a full day.
4) Review the pilot program at the end of the six months to determine whether or not
the full day pilot program would meet the TDA 10% farebox return requirement,
and whether or not Saturday service should be adopted as part of the permanent
transit program.
Ms. Burlingame stated staff also recommends the City Council select the hours of
operation for the 1/2 day pilot program utilizing results from a rider survey sent out in the
latest water bill. She noted the total estimated operating cost for a 12-month pilot
program would be $19,134; the total estimated revenue for a 12-month pilot program
would be $3,159; and the total estimated need from the General Fund would be $15,975.
Ms. Burlingame recommended the City Council review the recommendations made by
the Public Works Advisory Board and staff to implement a six-month pilot program to
provide 1/2 day Saturday Morro Bay Dial -A -Ride service.
• Consensus of the City Council was to provide full -day service on Saturdays for a 12-
month trial period.
MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council approve the
implementation of full -day service on Saturdays for a 12-month period
with a review by City Council in October 2000. The motion was seconded
by Councilmember Peirce and carried unanimously. (5-0)
D-1 PRESENTATION OF AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL

D-2 CONSIDERATION OF ATTORNEY OPINION ON RETROFIT PROGRAM
AND WATER RESOURCE ALLOCATION; (CITY ATTORNEY)
Acting Public Services Director Greg Fuz stated certification by the California Coastal
Commission of the City's Water Management Plan in January 1995 provided the
framework for conjunctive management of our water resources to service the community
through build out. He said prior to the deliveries of State Water and the completion of an
agreement with the County for a drought buffer to insure those deliveries, the City relied
on the Water Recovery Allocation Model (Retrofit Program) as approved and amended
by the Coastal Commission. Mr. Fuz noted it is now time to look to the future and
develop a new allocation method that uses the entirety of our water resources that have
• been secured in accordance with our Water Management Plan. He stated for Council
consideration in reviewing this matter, a summary prepared by Special Counsel of the
City Attorney's office has been prepared which outlines the history of water allocation in
Morro Bay as well as discusses options available to the City Council. Mr. Fuz
recommended the City Council consider the City Attorney opinion, and refer to Public
Works Advisory Board and Planning Commission for joint consideration.
Councilmember Peirce requested clarification on the recommendation in the City
Attorney's Opinion to adopt State Water impact fees to recover some of the costs of
bringing State Water into the City for development.
Acting City Manager Robert Hendrix responded although there is a fund balance in the
water fund, there are a number of capital needs associated with the water fund that are not
identified. He also said an impact fee would also encourage the continuation of the
retrofit program.
Councilmember Peirce expressed concern with the viability of the current retrofit
program.
Councilmember Peters asked if legally the City can discontinue the retrofit program.

• MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 13, 1999
City Attorney Robert Schultz responded the City cannot discontinue this program without
first going to the California Coastal Commission. He said one of the primary elements in
the Coastal Land Use Plan and Water Management Plan is conservation which is done
currently through the retrofit program. Mr. Schultz stated if it is found there are not
enough retrofits remaining, the City will need to propose another viable conservation
plan.
Councilmember Peters stated the retrofit program as it stands today has become a
financial venture more than a conservation measure.
Councilmember Crotzer expressed his support for the retrofit program in order to
conserve water. He endorsed the review of the implementation of water allocation
policies to the Planning Commission and Public Works Advisory Board.
Councilmember Elliott stated initiating impact fees would be charging another tax to the
citizens of Morro Bay. He said it can be proved that the City's conservation measures are
• superior to other cities in the state average.
Mayor Anderson stated there should be mandatory retrofit for those homes and
businesses that have 3.5 gallon toilets that can be retrofitted to 1.6 gallon toilets which are
very efficient. He also offered for consideration the option of offering a choice of impact
fee or retrofitting; in this case, the plumbing contractors may offer retrofits at a
reasonable rate, and people will have a choice.
The City Council forwarded their comments to the Planning Commission and Public
Works Advisory Board to review in a joint meeting.
D-3 STATUS REPORT ON THE DUKE ENERGY POWER PLANT EXPANSION
PROJECT; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Acting Public Services Director Greg Fuz stated on November 22, 1999 a proposal was
presented to the City Council to enter into a non -binding Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between Duke Energy and the City of Mono Bay. He said the MOU is a legal
document that would provide a roadmap for the City's participation in the review process
for the proposed Duke Energy Mono Bay Power Plant modernization; and, would record
a number of important commitments by both Duke Energy and the City regarding the
City's role in the review process and creation of the long -tern vision for the plant site.
Mr. Fuz stated the key elements of the proposed MOU include: 1) Master Plan with City
• approval; 2) removal of the entire existing power plant and phased replacement; 3) early

• REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 22, 1999
CLOSED SESSION REPORT - City Attorney Robert Schultz reported no action was
taken by the City Council in Closed Session.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Gary Gillman spoke in favor of Duke Energy's efforts toward being a good neighbor in
the City. He supports the plant upgrade and requested Duke Energy to keep moving in a
positive direction.
Roger Ewing, Chairman of the Public Arts Foundation, stated the first mural project is
underway on Main Street, and also requested donations to the Morro Bay Public Arts
Foundation. Mr. Ewing cautioned citizens that politics should be kept separate from the
issues surrounding Duke Energy's proposed plant expansion.
Nelson Sullivan referred to the City's staff report on the power plant expansion and stated
it appeared to be written by Duke Energy. He said the staff report is vague and
misleading and that citizens have been excluded from observing negotiations between the
. City and Duke Energy.
Monique Nelson stated she reviewed the several tour books regarding the power plant's
impact on tourism, and she found negative comments in two travel books. She said both
books are distributed by the thousands internationally. Ms. Nelson feels the City should
find out how much the negative impacts cost before further negotiations with Duke
Energy.
John Baker spoke in favor of keeping all three stacks instead of removing just one. He
said Duke Energy is trying to work with the City and bring the power plant up to date.
Mr. Baker said the City should work with Duke Energy to obtain a quieter plant, which
takes less water from the bay. He stated he does not believe the plant negatively affects
tourism.
David Nelson said he was upset to hear that Duke Energy is offering $2 million ahead of
the application. He said he wanted to know about the environment, what goes into the
air, and how many cars have been painted. Mr. Nelson compared plant emissions to
second-hand cigarette smoke.
Don Boatman asked Councilmembers to listen to everyone and involve all citizens before
making any decisions on the plant expansion. He stated he heard that PG&E promised
. the plant would only remain 30 years.
i'
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
• REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 22, 1999
Brian Stacy stated he received two reports on plant fallout. He said one was from PG&E
and it states the particulate on his car is simple rust. Mr. Stacy said the other report from
the County's Air Pollution Control District states the particulate is iron oxides from the
power plant.
Patty Dunton read the mission statement from the Coastal Alliance on Plant Expansion.
Hal Toon said he was an engineer with Bechtel Corporation, and stated asbestos dust and
iron oxide are being expelled from the stacks. He expressed concern about the use of
seawater to make pure water, which results in briny water being discharged through the
outfall. Mr. Toon stated there is a lot of vibration from units one and two, and he
believes a failure could occur. He does not believe the efficiency percentage that Duke
Energy lists in its report.
Jack McCurdy stated most citizens are only dimly aware that there is a proposal to
expand the plant, and most people feel the expansion will happen whether they are
involved or not. He said the California Energy Commission will not approve the permit
rwithout City support, and the City can stop the project with good reasons. Mr. McCurdy
recommended alternative uses for the plant site be considered as well.
Tom Williams, Duke Energy Public Affairs Manager, stated he is pleased to hear that the
Coastal Alliance has not taken a position on the plant expansion. He said a meeting will
be held with Alliance members on December 11 to respond to questions.
Mayor Anderson closed the Public Comment period.
DECLARATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Peters requested a status report on the City's water allocation and retrofit
program be agendized.
Councilmember Crotzer requested the City Council approve by 4/5 vote to add an item to
tonight's agenda to discuss the Bikeway Path Project funding.
MOTION: Councilmember Crotzer moved the City Council add the discussion of the
Bikeway Path Project funding as Item D-5 to tonight's agenda. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Elliott and carried unanimously.

B. PUBLIC HEARINGS. REPORTS & APPEARANCES
B-1 APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF PROPOSED GO-CART
TRACK AT 231 ATASCADERO ROAD - SUP 01-99/CDP 47-98R; (PUBLIC
SERVICES)
• Planning Manager Shauna Nauman stated the appellant has appealed the action of the
Planning Commission denying his requested Special Use Permit and Coastal
Development Permit for a proposed outdoor, lighted, go-cart track for racing up to 10
carts simultaneously with associated site improvements. The grounds for this appeal are
that "facts do not justify denial of this project".
Ms. Nauman stated the Planning Commission carefully considered the proposed project
and determined that noise impacts would adversely impact the general welfare and
peaceful enjoyment of the property owners and residents of the surrounding
neighborhood. The Commission indicated that they could support the project, with
conditions, if the applicant would agree to use electric carts rather than carts with
gasoline engines. Any approval recommendation would be predicated on the use of
electric carts to minimize noise impacts.
Ms. Nauman presented three alternatives for Councilmembers' consideration:
1) Deny the appeal, upholding the Planning Commission's action, thereby denying SUP
01-99/CDP 47-98R;
2) Uphold the appeal, overturning the Planning Commission's action and directing staff
• to complete a draft negative declaration for the proposed project and reschedule for
reconsideration by the Planning Commission;

3) Uphold the appeal, overturning the Planning Commission's action and directing staff
to complete a draft negative declaration for the proposed project and reschedule for
final action by the City Council.
Appellant Rodney Miles expressed concern that his new sound study was not examined
by staff. He presented 200 petition signatures in support of his project, and he feels
batting cages and the track are wanted and needed by the community. Mr. Miles said the
most number of parking spaces ever used was 47 during a charity event, and on busy days
only 24 cars are present. He said there is no need for additional parking, and he offered
to install curb and gutter all the way to the high school entrance. Mr. Miles said he was
willing to provide noise mitigation by building a wall and by restricting open hours.
Nick Krause, sound engineer, presented the results of his noise study. He concluded that
the track would be in compliance with the allowable daytime noise level limit at both the
high school and the nearest residence in the Silver City mobile home park and the Sunset
Court neighborhood.
. Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
•
Wilma Geiger, who lives on Atascadero Road, stated 1,000 people will be affected by the
go-cart track, and noted that after 6 p.m. there is little traffic and the surrounding
community is quiet. She said she is opposed to the noise the track will generate.
Dave Nelson stated kids need something to do and this would be one way to keep
teenagers off the street.
Sherry Hardsock, Manager of Paradise Island, stated there is a lot of support for go-carts
among people who come to play miniature golf. She also noted parking is sufficient at
Paradise Island to fulfill this proposed use.
Travis Holt expressed his support for go-carts and said many people bypass Paradise Fun
Park to go to Santa Maria for the go-carts.
Rory Livingston, Assistant Superintendent of Business for San Luis Coastal School
District, stated high-pitched engines provide an unacceptable sound level. He said the
project fails to meet zoning requirements and does not meet the threshold of overriding
public benefit, and the school district is opposed to it.
7
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
• REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 22, 1999
Nancy Castle expressed concern about all the layers of noise throughout the area, and she
believes all the different noises add to each other. She said pollution will increase and
sound walls will not enhance the pastoral nature of the surrounding area.
Jesse Franklin expressed his opposition to go-carts because he attends night school at
Morro Bay High School and feels the noise from go-carts may be distracting, and engine
fumes will create pollution.
Steve Mathieu stated the project could go forward with quiet electric go-carts.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Peirce expressed concern about noise pollution, and he noted noise
seems louder at night.
Councilmember Peters asked if batting cages are part of the application. She noted that
exhaust fumes hung over the track at Camelot Park. Councilmember Peters stated she
• would support a project that incorporated electric -powered vehicles.
Councilmember Crotzer stated noise is cumulative and, as a teacher, and expressed
concern with the compatible nature of this proposed use next to a school.
Councilmember Elliott stated that pollution is the major issue, and small engines add a
great deal of pollutants to the atmosphere. He said a huge sound wall would not be a
solution, and there may not be a place for go-carts in Morro Bay.
Mayor Anderson stated number of decibels and level of irritation with sound are two
different issues. He said he would support electric carts as an alternative. Mayor
Anderson also noted the miniature golf course has posed no problems for either law
enforcement or neighbors to date.
MOTION: Councilmember Peters moved the City Council deny the appeal of the
Planning Commission's decision, thereby affirming the Planning
Commission's action to deny SUP 01-99/CDP 47-98R, subject to the
adopted findings contained in the Planning Commission staff report, dated
September 20, 1999, as amended, and based on all oral and written
testimony received. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Peirce
and unanimously approved. (5-0)

D-2 REPORT ON IMPACT FEES ON FIBER OPTIC CABLE PROJECTS;
(HARBOR)
Bob Lucas of MCI World -Corn summarized the steps taken by fiber optic cable
companies to allay the concerns of local fishermen and to allow fishing over undersea
cables. He said that exposed cables have been the single common denominator, and that
problem has been solved by burying the cable wherever necessary. Mr. Lucas said World
Com, AT&T and Global Photon have agreed to reimburse fishermen for any lost gear and
to relieve them of any liability for snagging cable. He said four trawler fishermen and
four cable company representatives are on the liaison committee, which will be organized
into a mutual benefit non-profit corporation. Mr. Lucas stated each cable company will
• put $100,000 into a mitigation fund to be disbursed by the committee, for a total of
$300,000 annually.
Jody Giannini, Chairman of the Fiber Optic Committee, stated it has been a pleasure to
work with World Com and the company has been willing to bury cable to 39 inches and
avoid hard -bottom areas. He said fishing grounds will not be lost, and liability issues
have been addressed.
Councilmember Elliott stated that any agreement entered into between the cable
companies and the fishing industry is not subject to intervention or examination by the
City or by the public.
Councilmember Crotzer stated fees should be extracted for use of public lands, and it is
corporate welfare he objects to. He said the EIR prepared by World Com should be a
model for the industry, and that results for the fishing industry have been positive and
cooperative.
Mayor Anderson complimented Mr. Lucas for World Com's cooperation and stated there
will be financial aid measures that will benefit these projects as well as the maritime
museum and teen center in the City.
• Harbor Director Rick Algert stated the three goals desired by the City have been
achieved.

D-3 REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS TO REPAIR THE EROSION AT LILA
KEISER PARK; (RECREATION & PARKS)
Recreation and Parks Director Andrea Lueker stated that, based on an informal walk-
through of the park, a local contractor has provided an estimate for the stabilization of the
creek bank. The estimate for stabilizing 100 feet of the bank with a sheet pile wall is
$51,000.
Councilmember Elliott stated that this park is used extensively by the community and the
City cannot allow it to deteriorate further.
Finance Director Jim Koser stated financing options will be explored after bids are
accepted.
MOTION: Councilmember Peirce moved the City Council authorize the
advertisement for bids to repair the erosion at Lila Keiser Park. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Peters and unanimously carried.
• D-4 PRESENTATION ON REVISED DUKE ENERGY PLANT EXPANSION
PROJECT; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Acting Public Services Director Greg Fuz stated that Duke Energy filed an application for
certification on August 31, 1999, with the California Energy Commission to modernize
the Morro Bay Power Plant. During the initial review and after Duke Energy's decision to
temporarily withdraw the application, staff has conducted a series of meetings with Duke
Energy representatives to explore options for addressing the City's concerns. Mr. Fuz
said that Mark Seedall, Project Manager for Duke Energy, will present the changes for
the City Council and the public, and that several public workshops will be held over the
coming months in order to reach consensus and agreement on the application process.
Mr. Fuz stated the end result will be a binding legal agreement, and this is the beginning
of the process.
Mr. Seedall summarized Duke Energy's plans and concluded by stating that City staff
bargained hard with Duke Energy and the result has been a better plan. He said
substantial capital and resources are necessary to complete this project, and the citizens'
support is needed. Mr. Seedall asked for City support and assistance to prepare a CEC
application for Spring of 2000, and noted Duke Energy will also need City support for
removal of existing oil tanks.
• Mayor Anderson invited the public to the workshops on November 30 and December 6.

D-5 DISCUSSION OF BIKEWAY PATH PROJECT FUNDING
MOTION: Councilmember Crotzer moved the City Council add this item to the
agenda because immediate action is necessary as SLOCOG could re-
channel bike path funds on December 8 if no action is taken. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Peters and unanimously approved. (5-0)
Councilmember Crotzer stated the San Luis Coastal School District Board believes there
has been a lack of cooperation between the school board and the City of Morro Bay. He
said the funds will be lost if an agreement cannot be reached on the boundaries of the
bike path. Councilmember Crotzer stated a compromise can benefit both the school
board's desire for new playing fields and the City's desire for a bike path.
MOTION: Councilmember Peters moved the City Council extend the meeting
beyond 11:00 p.m. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Crotzer
and unanimously approved. (5-0)
• Councilmember Elliott stated the SLOCOG funds will be allocated to some other project
or returned to the State at the December 8 meeting. He said the issue is whether or not
the City will support the school board's request for a Coastal Development Permit, not
the boundaries of the proposed bike path.
Rory Livingston stated the school district's goal is to develop new playing fields, and a
row of trees will have to be removed. He said City staff told him that a Coastal
Development Permit will be necessary, and it will not be possible to take down the trees.
Mr. Livingston said new playing fields have to be built because of Title IX and CIF
standards. He said SLOCOG staff had raised an issue of time lines that was unacceptable
to the school board on the night of the meeting. Mr. Livingston stated there is a conflict
between the school district's need to remove the trees and the need of the City to secure
funding for the bike path. He said the school district will not commit to the bike path
unless they know what will happen with the playing fields.
Councilmember Crotzer stated there may be a way to re -engineer the bike path so it will
not infringe on the playing fields.
Acting City Manager Bob Hendrix replied that there are constraints because of ADA
standards, but it would be difficult to re -engineer the path within ten days.
Councilmember Peirce asked if there is a way to use the bike path funds on Main Street
is in order not to lose them altogether.

MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 22, 1999
Councilmember Peters asked if school district staff, City staff and SLOCOG staff can try

Street path.
The City Council requested staff contact SLOCOG on the timeline for this project and the
options of maintaining the funding mechanism.
No further action was taken on this matter.

B-1 APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF A
ONE-YEAR TIME EXTENSION FOR TRI-W SHOPPING CENTER (PM 04-
92/CDP 43-92NESTING TENTATIVE MAP), AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE
APPLICANT'S WITHDRAWAL OF A TIME EXTENSION REQUEST FOR
CUP 03-88/PRECISE PLAN; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Planning Manager Shauna Nauman reviewed the appeal filed by Jack McCurdy of a
decision made by the Planning Commission to approve a one year time extension for PM
04-92/CDP 43-92, and acceptance of Tri-W's withdrawal of a time extension request for
CUP 03-88. She stated the appellant alleges there is substantial confusion over the effect
of the Planning Commission's action and that the Commission's action was based on
insufficient facts and information. Ms. Nauman recommended the City Council deny the
appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to approve a one year time extension for
• Case No. PM 04-92/CDP 43-92R thereby affirming the Planning Commission's action
subject to the adopted findings and conditions contained in the Planning Commission
staff report.
Jack McCurdy, appellant, stated the basis of his appeal is three -fold: 1) he objects to the
Planning Commission bestowing rights on a private developer which would deprive
voters of their rights to enact an initiative that could change the zoning on the property; 2)
the approval or extension of the parcel map must be done in concert with the existing
precise development plan; and 3) there is still confusion surrounding this case and the
impacts the proposed action will have.
Marshall Ochylski, representative for Tri-W, responded to the appellants points of appeal,
and addressed the intent of the property owners for the Tri-W property.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Susan Mullen reviewed past history of this project and the citizen approved Measure H
guidelines. She stated the map should not be approved without a proposed project.
John Barta, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated he was available to answer
questions.
• Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.

MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 27, 1999
City Attorney Robert Schultz responded to the appellant's statements.
Councilmember Crotzer stated a time extension would allow a project to go forward
indefinitely which does not make sense, and it would be more appropriate to submit plans
for a project along with the approval of the parcel map. He said he does not support
municipal government assisting land owners with zoning considerations that increase the
monetary value of their land. Councilmember Crotzer stated the open space area should
be maintained so that you can view the skyline and hills and not roof tops.
Councilmember Elliott stated the Coastal Act protects the environment on property such
as this. He expressed concern with the option of the property owner to split this property
if the map is approved.
Mayor Anderson, Councilmember Peirce and Councilmember Peters agreed to support
the Planning Commission's approval of a one-year time extension for the vesting
tentative map for this property.
• Councilmember Elliott stated he will support upholding the Planning Commission's
decision to approve the one-year time extension of the parcel map on the basis that it will
allow the project to proceed.
MOTION: Councilmember Peters moved the City Council deny the appeal of the
Planning Commission's decision to approve a one year time extension for
Case No. PM 04-92/CDP 43-92R thereby affirming the Planning
Commission's action subject to the adopted findings and conditions
contained in the Planning Commission staff report dated August 16, 1999,
and based on all oral and written testimony received. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Peirce and carried with Councilmember
Crotzer voting no.(4-1)

Councilmember Crotzer stated this proposed use was not a part of the originally approved

dramatically.

however, it can control where a business is located based on health, safety, morals,
• comfort and general welfare.

similar project, and the traffic of the fueling station there has been constant.

B-2 CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
ON A CONCEPT PLAN PROPOSED BY E. KURT STEINMANN FOR
RECONSTRUCTION OF 845 EMBARCADERO (LEASE SITE 89/89W) -
CASE NO. CUP 15-99/CDP 19-99R; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Associate Planner Greg Fuz presented the plan proposed by Kurt Steinmann for the
reconstruction of 845 Embarcadero focusing on the key issues as outlined in his staff
report including visual impacts, coastal access and compatibility with the existing lease.
• He noted that dock replacement and/or revetment repairs would require separate
permitting and are not included with this permit approval. Mr. Fuz stated the
recommendation to City Council is for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Concept
7
• MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 23, 1999
Plan) to replace the previous development, demolished after being destroyed by fire, with
two new buildings designed not to exceed seventeen feet in height, for retail and
marine/coastal-related use. He said one of the buildings would include an on -site
manager's unit. Mr. Fuz noted the approval of the project would ultimately result in
greater revenues to the City from increased sales tax collections from the businesses
which would occupy the structure. He explained that the next steps for the applicant
would be to obtain a coastal permit directly from the State and then to proceed with a
precise plan to be approved by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Kurt Steinmann, applicant, stated he is unable to renegotiate the terms for this lease due
to the lienholders lack of consent and requested Council's consideration of his proposed
plans for this site.
Marjorie Galleon addressed access to the viewing area in front of this proposed
• development.
Betty Winholtz addressed the revetment and coastal access at this site. She requested the
boat lifting facility remain at this site.
Jeff O'Dell stated this site should be converted into a boat yard.
Shoosh Crotzer asked how the project can be discussed without first considering the lease
agreement.
Jim Wood stated this project should be approved as it was presented to the Harbor
Advisory Board. He said the Board does not recommend a boat yard for this site.
Ralph Gunther requested Council not consider the renegotiation of the present lease.
Harry Rogers stated the City should allow the applicant the ability to obtain a return on
any investment made on this site.
John Barta requested Council not hold up this project in order to renegotiate the lease.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
• Councilmember Peters stated this project should be in compliance with a lease, and this
current proposal is not in compliance.
3
• MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 23, 1999
Councilmember Peirce stated the proposed plans cannot be economically viable, and the
requirements in the lease are not conducive with the Embarcadero.
Councilmember Elliott stated the current lease should be amended rather than
renegotiated and should specifically state this is a coastal -dependent project.
Councilmember Crotzer stated the lease needs to be renegotiated before the project can be
considered.
Mayor Anderson stated if changes are going to be proposed for this site, then the lease
should be renegotiated.
MOTION: Councilmember Crotzer moved the City Council reinstate Condition G-1
of the Planning Commission's Conditions of Approval, which states the
applicant shall negotiate a revised lease with the Harbor Director, subject
• to approval by the City Council, to ensure that the change of use and these
conditions are incorporated into a revised lease prior to issuance of a
building permit for the project. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Peters and carried unanimously. (5-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council adopt the findings
included in Attachment "A" of the August 16, 1999 staff memorandum to
the Planning Commission, including findings required by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and conditionally approve CUP 15-
99 (Concept Plan) subject to the conditions included as Attachment "B" of
the August 16, 1999 staff memorandum to the Planning Commission as
revised, and the site development plans dated July 26, 1999. The motion

D-4 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS AND CONSIDERATION OF RESTRICTING
SKATEBOARDING IN DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT; (POLICE)
Police Chief Joe Loven stated complaints regarding the manner in which some
skateboarders practice their sport have increased over the past few years as the sport has
grown in popularity. He said the Police Department has addressed some of the
complaints through the adoption and enforcement of a skateboard ordinance while our
City, through the Recreation & Parks Department, has provided alternative skateboarding
sites by constructing a skate park and a roller hockey rink. Chief Loven stated the
majority of complaints come from areas where there are heavy concentrations of other
pedestrian or vehicle traffic, such as the downtown business district or large parking lots.
He said the complaints tend to increase during the summer months when there is an
increase in pedestrian, vehicle and skateboard activity. Chief Loven recommended the
City Council discuss and consider an option on measures it feels appropriate to address
complaints and other issues surrounding skateboarders in the downtown business district.
• The consensus of the City Council was to approve Option 4 in the staff report which
promotes meetings between the affected businesses encouraging "self -policing" by the
skateboarders, and directed the Police Department to step up enforcement and act on
individual complaints.

REMODEL THE EXISTING CHEVRON SERVICE STATION LOCATED AT
1798 MAIN STREET (CUP 12-98/CDP 60-98R); (PUBLIC SERVICES)

Planning Commission conditionally approving a Conditional Use Permit and Coastal
Development Permit to remodel the existing, non -conforming Chevron service station
with a new facade, canopy, landscaping and construct an addition of 801 square feet for
retail sales (including the sale of alcoholic beverages). He stated the appellant cites
several instances when the City required other businesses to remove existing pole signs or
prohibited installation of new pole signs, including the Chevron Station at the comer of
Beach and Main Street, and noted the appellant finds the pole sign ordinance should be
the same for every business in Morro Bay. Mr. Fuz recommended the City Council deny
the appeal of Case No. CUP 12-98/CDP 60-98R thereby upholding the Planning

be eliminated throughout the City.
Councilmember Peters stated the purpose of the existing sign ordinance allows for an
amount of signage per square foot of the business. She said the sign ordinance is in
review by the Planning Commission, and she supports denial of the appeal.

supports denial of the appeal.

RECOMMENDATION OF COASTAL COMMISSION'S MODIFICATION TO
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM MAJOR AMENDMENT NO. 1-97
RELATING TO THE WATER ALLOCATION PACKAGE; (PUBLIC
SERVICES)
Interim Planning & Building Director Shauna Nauman reviewed the modifications to the
City's package of water policy and regulatory amendments related to the allocation of
water to new development. She made the following recommendations to the City
Council: 1) receive the water history report; 2) review and consider the California Coastal
Commission's modifications to the City's water policy and regulatory amendments
related to the allocation of water to new development; and 3) direct staff accordingly.
Special Counsel David Hunt of Hunt & Associates reviewed information relating to the
City's water history.
• Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Charlie Palmer shared information on City wells in the Chorro and Morro Creeks which
are presently year-round streams. He recommended once the desalination plant is paid
off, that the City use this money for water reclamation.
John Barta urged the City Council reject the amendments made by the California Coastal
Commission to the City's water policy and regulatory amendments related to the
allocation of water to new development. He recommended the City consider a mandatory
retrofit program.
Nelson Sullivan addressed several points made in the staff report.
Harry Rogers stated the water allocation program needs to be made less complicated.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Cromer stated the Council should consider if the present citizens should
have to pay with a shortage of water or poor -quality water for new development in Mono
Bay. He said conservation of water is the best way to provide more water, as well as the
use of gray water. Councilmember Crotzer suggested the City continue with the retrofit
• program and charge impact fees related to true cost of new development.
• MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 12, 1999
Councilmember Elliott stated the City should withdraw its application to the Coastal
Commission, and deal with individual issues as they arrive. He said the City should
continue with the reclamation program, determine the water equivalency unit size based
on the use in the City, and list all the water resources available.
Councilmember Peirce stated the City should continue pursuing the reclamation plant,
and find out how many retrofits are left in the City by perhaps sending out a survey with
the water bills. He said the remaining water equivalency units should be made more
realistic with the retrofit program.
Councilmember Peters agreed the City needs to find out how many retrofits are
remaining, and the survey should include who might be interested in having their homes
retrofitted. She said it is time to replace water meters throughout the City and find out
where the lost water is going. Councilmember Peters stated the City should respond to
the Coastal Commission's questions, and they should be made aware that Morro Bay's
water conservation efforts are higher than anywhere in California.
• Mayor Anderson shared history of the City's water situation. He agreed the City should
reject the Coastal Commission's modifications. Mayor Anderson stated it would be great
to be able to replace water meters and be able to pay for them with the increased revenues
and benefit from the water savings.
u
MOTION: Mayor Anderson moved the City Council direct staff as follows: 1)
withdraw the request for a 6-month time extension to the California
Coastal Commission's modifications to LCP #1-97 (water allocation); 2)
develop a water bill survey to determine interest in participating in the
retrofit program and to determine how many homes have already been
retrofitted; 3) provide Council with a cost estimate in the 99/00 budget for
the Water Management Plan Update; and 4) reanalyze the calculation for
water equivalency units. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Elliott and carried unanimously. (5-0)

Permit for a conversion of a 300 square foot detached single story legal non -conforming

to residential second units. He said the appellants believe the approval of second
dwelling units in this neighborhood would detract from the single family character of the
area and would be inconsistent with the intent of single family residential zoning. Mr.
Fuz stated the Planning Commission considered the evidence and public testimony and
voted to deny this appeal, and modified the project conditions to require a total of three
off-street parking spaces for the project instead of the two which would be required by
zoning regulations. He recommended the City Council deny the appeal of Case No.

REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 25, 1999
Chuck Reasor, appellant, reviewed the grounds of his appeal which included the
following concerns: 1) the increase in density and associated effects that would occur
with approval of residential second dwelling units within a single fatnily residential
neighborhood; 2) the lack of covered, enclosed parking on -site for either the main
dwelling or the second unit; and 3) the main residence was not legally constructed in the
1980's.
Ralph Agee, appellant, agreed with Mr. Reasor's comments that the approval of second
dwelling units in this neighborhood would detract from the single family character of the
area.
George Daniels, appellant, stated he built his home on La Jolla Street and met conditions
including the placement of a garage. He said homes built in an R-1 zone should be for
single family residences, and granny units should be maintained to assist family members
only.
• Gail King, applicant, stated when she first purchased the house located at 467 La Jolla
Street, the detached building was used as a second dwelling unit. She said the existing
primary residence was demolished and reconstructed in 1988 with funding provided
through the City as part of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan
program. At that time, a report prepared by the CDBG loan committee indicated that the
detached accessory building was referred to as the garage for the main residence. Ms.
King stated she has since paid the CDBG loan in full, and has applied for permits to
convert the existing 300 square foot, detached legal non -conforming structure to a
residential second dwelling unit. She noted parking for both the main residence and the
second unit is proposed as open, tandem parking in the existing driveway with removal of
an existing concrete stairway which encroaches the driveway. Ms. King requested the
City Council consider her request, and deny the appeals filed.
The following people expressed opposition to the approval of this project: Lloyd Toledo,

REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 25, 1999
Ms. Nauman reviewed the legislative findings on secondary units which reads as follows:
"The legislature finds and declares that second units are a valuable form of housing in
California. Second units provide housing for family members, students, the elderly
income, in -home health care providers, the disabled, and other at below market prices
within existing neighborhoods. Homeowners who create second units benefit from added
income and an increase sense of security."
Vice -Mayor Elliott called for a break at 8:44 p.m.; the meeting resumed at 8:57 p.m.
Councilmember Peirce stated presently the City cannot be more restrictive than state law.
He said a five -member Council should be present to continue with this issue.
Councilmember Peters stated when this house was demolished and rebuilt, there were
conditions that a garage would be provided and was not, so the accessory building was
assumed to be a garage. She reviewed the definition of a guest house which is any
attached or detached accessory building which does not have enclosed access directly to
• the interior of the principle residence, which has any bathroom facility and does not
contain a kitchen. Councilmember Peters stated that was originally the use of the
accessory building on this property, and it was then remodeled as a second dwelling unit.
She stated there is no way of solving the parking situation on this property, and it should
be found that there are no impacts on something that is illegal. Councilmember Peters
stated she will not support denial of this appeal.
Councilmember Crotzer stated he supports this appeal because allowing an illegal use
which would cause an impact to the neighborhood could set a precedence allowing
second rental units which are not in compliance with the law.
Vice -Mayor Elliott stated the issue at hand is the impact of parking. He noted R-1 zoning
is defined as single family residential and should be maintained as such.
MOTION: Councilmember Crotzer moved the City Council uphold the appeal of
Case No. MUP 21-98/CDP 50-98A. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Peters.
Interim Public Works Director Bob Hendrix suggested since the present staff report
contains findings to deny the appeal; perhaps the City Council should take tentative
action to uphold the appeal pending findings prepared by staff which could come back to
the City Council.

B-2 APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION UPHOLDING THE
DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & BUILDING'S DECISION TO
CONDITIONALLY APPROVE A MINOR USE PERMIT AND COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO LEGALIZE THE CONVERSION OF AN
EXISTING ATTACHED GARAGE TO A RESIDENTIAL SECOND
DWELLING UNIT LOCATED AT 421 LA JOLLA STREET - CASE NO. MUP
24 -98/CDP 59-98 (PLANNING)
• Associate Planner Greg Fuz reviewed the appeal filed by Chuck Reasor and Ralph Agee,
et al, of a decision by the Planning Commission upholding the Director of Planning &
Building's approval of a Minor Use Permit and Administrative Coastal Development
Permit for a conversion of a 504 square foot portion of an existing garage to an attached
residential second dwelling unit located at 421 La Jolla Street. Mr. Fuz stated the
proposed conversion complies with zoning ordinance requirements applicable to
residential second units. He said the appellants believe the approval of second dwelling
units in this neighborhood would detract from the single family character of the area and
would be inconsistent with the intent of single family residential zoning. Mr. Fuz stated
the Planning Commission considered the evidence and public testimony and voted to
deny this appeal, and modified the project conditions to eliminate any reference to the
property as a duplex. He recommended the City Council deny the appeal of Case No.
MUP 24-98/CDP 59-98A thereby upholding the Planning Commission's decision to deny
the appeal of the Director of Planning & Building's decision to conditionally approve the
project, subject to the adopted findings and revised conditions contained in the Planning
Commission staff report dated December 7, 1998, and based on all oral and written
testimony received.
Vice -Mayor Elliott opened the hearing for public comment.
Chuck Reasor stated the grounds for this appeal are: 1) R-2 multi -family density use
• within an R-1 single family zone; 2) increased parking congestion along the street; and 3)
legalizing an illegal conversion. He said this house was originally built as a single family
residence, and was then converted into two separate rental units which does not meet the
requirements of a granny unit.

REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 25, 1999
George Daniels stated this street is very crowded, and parking should be provided for the
rental unit.
Mike Del Puppo, applicant, stated the upper unit is used as a rental which is being
occupied by an elderly person on a fixed income, and the lower unit is not presently being
occupied based on code restrictions. He said this property has been a rental for 15 years
and will not cause any further impacts to the property. Mr. Del Puppo noted he pays
utilities for two units, and all city and state laws are in compliance.
John Barta, Planning Commission Chair, stated a one car garage was proposed when
reviewed by the Planning Commission.
Vice -Mayor Elliott closed the hearing for public comment.
Councilmember Crotzer stated he supports the appeal based on the prevention of allowing
this to become a legal conversion.
• Councilmember Peters stated this project does comply with state law which will not
cause any further impacts to the property or neighborhood. She said this request does
provide for a granny unit, and she will support the Planning Commission's decision to
deny the appeal of the Director of Planning & Building's decision to conditionally
approve this project.
•
Councilmember Peirce stated he also agrees to support the denial of the appeal.
Vice -Mayor Elliott stated this project clearly provides ample parking and meets the
criteria of state and City laws.
MOTION: Councilmember Peters moved the City Council deny the appeal of Case
No. MUP 24-98/CDP 59-98A thereby upholding the Planning
Commission's decision to deny the appeal of the Director of Planning &

B-1 RESOLUTION NO. 04-99 ADOPTING THE 1998 ANNUAL WATER REPORT
AND 1999 ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATION; (PLANNING)
Interim Planning & Building Director Shauna Nauman reviewed the 1998 annual water
report and recommendations for the 1999 annual allocation. She said the purpose of the
report is to advise the City Council of the status of the water allocation program and to set
the next year's annual allocation for residential and commercial growth in accordance
with the provision of Measure F. Based on this information, Ms. Nauman recommended
the City Council adopt Resolution No. 04-99 approving the 1998 annual water report and
1999 allocation recommendation.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Harry Rogers suggested maintaining the present allocation distribution which has worked
well.
is Charlie Palmer addressed water rates and suggested eliminating the water equivalency
program which does not represent the way water is used at this time.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Crotzer stated with the likelihood of severe water shortages for residents
in the near future and the ramifications of encouraging a growth boom, he suggested
going back to the historic allocation of 50 water equivalency units for single family
residences.
Councilmember Peirce stated Morro Bay residents are using less per capita of water than
any other cities in the State. He said with the diminishing retrofits available in the City,
perhaps it is time to look for an alternative method of water conservation.
Councilmember Peters stated she accepts the proposed number of allocations, however,
she suggested amending Item 3 (Retrofit Program), third paragraph of the 1998 Annual
Water Report to read: "It appears there are sufficient retrofits within the community to
support the projects which are currently processing building permits", and delete the
remainder of the paragraph.

REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 11, 1999
Councilmember Elliott addressed the number of permits that are ready to begin building,
and the number of permits that are ready, however, do not have the necessary water
equivalencies to begin construction. He said it is bothersome that there are a certain
amount of retrofits available and some people cannot locate retrofits in order to move
forward with their projects.
Mayor Anderson agreed with Councilmember Peters' recommended amendment to page
three of the annual water report, and move forward with the recommended allocations.
He also stated the retrofit program should be noted on outgoing water bills.
MOTION: Councilmember Peters moved the City Council adopt Resolution No. 04-99
with the amendment to the 1998 Annual Water Report to read: "It appears
there are sufficient retrofits within the community to support the projects
which are currently processing building permits", and delete the remainder
of the paragraph. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Peirce and
carried unanimously. (5-0)
• B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 05-99 AMENDING THE CHANGE IN BOUNDARIES OF
UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 6; (PUBLIC WORKS)
Interim Public Works Director Robert Hendrix reviewed the amended boundaries for
Underground Utility District No. 6. He stated the fiscal impact will be approximately
S 18,900 for street lights and for the conversion of two buildings to receive underground
service which would be budgeted in the 1999/2000 fiscal year. Mr. Hendrix
recommended the City Council adopt Resolution No. 05-99 amending the change in
boundaries.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Albert Jorge stated an easement was issued to PG&E in 1974 in order to allow the utility
pole to remain in the central block behind the Chamber of Commerce building. He said
the City meets all criteria for permitting the use of Rule 20 funds for the removal of mid -
block utility lines. Mr. Jorge recommended the City Council postpone approval of this
change in boundaries of underground utility district and give further consideration to the
utility lines in the City.
Harry Rogers stated there is no reason to leave these utility lines up which will cost the
City more money in the long run.
• Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
