Mrs. Doris Agee, 819 Ridge Court, expressed concern over the lengthy Executive Session in the middle of the last Council meeting and asked if anything could be done to rectify this situation in the future, i.e., such as having Executive Sessions follow the regular meetings.

Public Hearing - Appeal of UP-79-501 Staff Report 11/5/80 - Appeal by Councilman Addiego of a 48 unit condominium project on the north easterly side of Mission Road be- tween Oak and Chestnut Avenues and Negative Declaration No. 224. ACTION TAKEN 188 CITY MANAGER ORDINANCE NO. 839-80 Carried by unanimous voice vote. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Mayor Acosta declared the Public Hearing open. Councilman Addiego stated that he had appealed the action in order to get a report from the Director of Community Development to Council, which had been requested previously in an informal session. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela explained the history of this appeal with the Planning Commission. He stated that the Commission and Staff determined that the density of 24 units per acre was acceptable, that the amount of proposed common open space suffi- cient, that the project would be compatible to the surrounding neigh- borhood, etc. Councilman Addiego stated that he had a problem with residential develop- ment in a C-O zone and cited the contrary recommendations by the Acting City Planner Christians in 1979 and today's recommendations by the Director of Community Development Dell'Angela today as to the Use Permit being consistent with the General Plan of the City. He continued stating that the main area of concern was Ordinance 792-79, an interim Ordinance prohibiting use which may conflict with the zoning proposals related to the General Plan Amendments. He stated that the intent of this Ordinance under prohibited land uses is specific, the C-O commercial zone for office and multiple residential structures as now permitted by this section are a prohibited land use. 11/5/80 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 189 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Public Hearing - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT He continued, under exceptions and exemptions in the same Ordinance the Planning Commission may grant an exception if the prohibitions as set forth in this Ordinance if the Commission finds: l) application for the use was filed prior to the effective date of this Ordinance - which was the case; 2) all plans, specifications and related documents substantially complying with City Ordinances and City Standards were filed prior to the effective date of this Ordinance - that is not the case; 3) the use structure or project will not materially affect the zoning proposal now under study or exempt if the use structure or project will not materially affect or adversely affect the zoning now under study - which is the whole item of concern here. He stated that a tentative map had not been filed, which was one of the conditions within the Ordinance. A lengthy discussion followed on the three conditions cited, zoning ordinance, intensive use versus compatibility uses, demand for office space, cumulative zoning, etc. Councilwoman Teglia expressed concern that the procedure called a General Plan Amendment with a zoning revision to accompany it and safeguards built in so that the public is advised and can participate was not being adhered to. City Planner Christians stated that the applicant had submitted a tenta- tive map and the areas that were not submitted were some technical things regarding a soils report which was generally corrected and is pending before the Planning Commission. 11/5/80 Page 9 ^ END^ ^CT ON T^KEU 19 ] COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Public Hearing - Continued. (TF-494) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT A discussion followed on the General Plan update, the Subdivision Ordinance, multi-residential structures, etc. City Manager Birkelo stated that the intent of the Urgency Interim Ordinance was to take things that were principal permitted uses in densities and types of use that might be questioned in the light of things being studied on the General Plan revision to bring those under scrutiny and that the use permit process was the method to review and see if the Planning Commission could make findings that they were compatible. An in-depth discussion followed on prohibiting a residential use in a C-O zone, the findings that were recommended to the Planning Commission, whether the multi-residential use would have a negative effect on the land use, who has the final say on the CC&Rs - the Board of Realtors or the City, whether having offices next to Santo Cristo Hall rather than condominiums, whether~to submit the tentative map with the Use Permit, etc. Mr. James P. Green, 988 Market St., San Francisco, stated that the developer is not required to go through the major expenditures in order to submit the documents that follow a use permit. He felt that these were administerial in terms of the CC&Rs and pointed out how costly it was becoming to the developer after having satisfied all of the City's requirements but the delays persist. Mr. Bob Onorato, 600 E1Camino, San Bruno, explained the project specifications and parking and that there would be a swimming pool and a recreation room. 11/5/80 Page 10 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 191 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Public Hearing - Continued. (TF-692) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Councilman Addiego questioned whether there had been an environ- mental analysis. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela stated that an environ- mental impact report could be miti- gated. Councilman Addiego continued his questioning on the changes in density, changes in multiple uses, etc. Ms. Doris Agee, 819 Ridge Court, stated that there was more need for investment properties, rather than more housing needed. She felt that office buildings would better serve the need in use than a condo would due to the limited parking on Mission Road. Mr. Larry Casey, 3643 Forrestview Dr., stated that Chestnut and Grand Avenues would be a better location for condos than the subject property. He felt that because the County has a facility for criminals close by Mission Road that the use of the property for condos would not be a good use. Dr. Charles Bona, ll31 Mission Road, stated he had piOneered for commercial offices in this area twelve years ago and that now there are proposed apartment houses, 7-11 stores, an exten- sion of Grand Avenue and condos. He requested the City to develop a Master Plan to prevent the dissolution of this and other commercial complexes. Councilman Addiego stated that there should be written rules stating com- patible uses and non-compatible uses without Staff's interpretation and expressed concern with the opposing viewpoints that were stated by Staff members 11/5/80 Page 11 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ][92 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16.

POLICE Mayor Acosta raised the issue of a resident having his car towed from another City into this City by an outside operator and felt it was not right to penalize the resident by citing the operator of the tow car. Assistant City Attorney Rogers stated that an outside tow car operator doing business in South San Francisco would require a business license. Police Captain Swinford stated that by citing the tow car driver it allowed the driver to come into the Police Department and contest the citation and that the Police Chief could adjudicate the citation if justification of the incident was presented. He stated that this process allowed the Police Department control over tow car operators doing business in South San Francisco.
