Staff Report 1/25/84 requesting
consideration of authorizing lease
agreement(s) for extraction of cer-
tain minerals from City controlled
tide lots.
CITY MANAGER
Vice Mayor Haffey stated that five minu-
tes was not enough time to review job
specifications and suggested continuing
the item to the next meeting.
City Manager Birkelo stated that
tonight's meeting could be adjourned to
late Monday afternoon for this item and a
Closed Session. He stated that a brief
Closed Session was needed in that an
attorney was present for a discussion of
litigation.
Consensus of Council - That the item be
continued to the adjourned meeting.
Council adjourned to a Closed Session at
8:12 p.m. for the purpose of the
discussion of litigation.
The meeting was recalled to order at 8:25
p.m., all Council present, no action
taken.
Assistant City Manager Wilson stated that
some time ago the City had been
approached by a dredging firm asking if
the City would allow harvesting of tide
lots. He stated that San Bruno Shoals
have a mineral that has a commercial
value to dredging firms which supply fill
material at various sites throughout the
Bay Area. He stated that Staff had
talked to the State Land Commission to
verify that this property was under the
City's control and it is with no mineral
interests reserved to the State. He con-
tinued, that it was also learned that the
State frequently enters into mineral
extraction agreements for tide lots under
their control. He spoke of the benefits
to the City: revenues could run as high
as $40,000 per year depending on the
materials harvested; that funds are
restricted to the care and maintenance of
tide lots which would be a savings to the
General Fund.

tion of a storage area and mini
offices to an existing warehouse
and office building on the south-

M/S Haffey/Nicolopulos - To authorize

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela spoke in-depth of the propo-
sal for construction of a public storage
complex at the southwest corner of
Produce and San Mateo Avenues for 16,000
square feet of new storage, a manager's
unit and to convert to other warehouse
uses. He retraced the Planning
Commission action and enumerated the fin-
dings in the Staff Report which led to
the denial of Negative Declaration No.
422 and Use Permit UP-670. He spoke of
Ordinance No. 925-83 which prohibits uses
which may conflict with the proposed
General Plan and that this use permit had
inconsistencies between the proposed
industrial use and the planned commercial
designation on the General Plan.
Mayor Addiego opened the Public Hearing
and invited those wishing to speak in
favor of the appeal to step to the dias.
Gary Royce, Esq., 421 Grand Avenue, spoke
of the merits of public storage facili-
ties which provide services to the com-
munity and of the applicant's willingness
to present a project that the City
Council be proud of in the community. He
stated that Mr. Jacobsen had sold the
property to his client Public Storage
and with authorization by the City the
property would be developed. He stated
that Planning Commissioner Mantegani had
asked at a meeting if the Commission
could consider the specific plan and had
been told that because of the Interim
Ordinance they could not consider the
merits of the structure. He stated that
his client had two parcels and that the
storage facility as it was now situated
lays on both parcels. He continued, the

proposed plan extended the total square
footage. He stated that the proposed
plan extended the total square footage of
the buildings, yet the proposed structure
in effect reduced the volume of building
that was going to be placed on the pro-
perty which he felt was important. He
made mention of language in the Ordinance
that said if one had an existing legal
non-conforming use that is consistent
even though the proposed zoning was dif-
ferent - it is now zoned light
industrial.
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that he did
not understand why the appeal was for Mr.
Jacobsen yet being discussed was Public
Storage.
Discussion followed: that Mr. Jacobsen's
interests had been assigned to Public
Storage; that the title for the property
was in escrow; that Mr. Royce was repre-
senting Public Storage and Lyons
Restaurants; whether Mr. Royce had a
legal standing to proceed with the appeal;
that Mr. Royce had appeared in the same
capacity at each of the Planning
Commission meetings; that the City's
Attorney was in Long Beach and was not
available; that Public Storage was the
co-applicant; whether it was a legal con-
forming use.
Mr. Dan Brown spoke of the areas of the
building that were planned to be
demolished.
Mayor Addiego invited those wishing to
speak against the appeal to step the dais
- no one chose to speak. He then closed
the Public Hearing.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela spoke of a provision for an
exemption to the General Plan proposal
that had been discussed by the Commission
if they had made a finding of acceptance
of the use.

Mayor Addiego stated that Attorney Royce
had countered most of the points with the
exception of the actual traffic problem
which he had not addressed.
Gary Royce, Esq., stated that a traffic
study had been made by Person &
Associates. He stated that the amount of
traffic generated by a public facility
was equivalent to ten percent of the
traffic that was approved for the parcel.
He continued, that seventeen trips per
hour would be generated which was mini-
mal. He felt that the use was compatible
and that the facility could be designed
in any way that the City wanted for the
benefit of the community.
Vice Mayor Haffey spoke on Finding 4~
that the proposed lot coverage is
excessive and would result in an over-
building of the site.
Discussion followed on the configuration
of the building and lot; separate entran-
ces for the office space and the mini
storage; drawings of a proposed Lyon's
Restaurant on the site; that a hotel had
once been proposed for the site; that the
Planning Commission did not feel that
public storage was a good use for the
site; that the existing use was con-
sistent and the proposed use was not
consistent; why the Commission determined
that a 200 room hotel was a good use of
the property when it would generate more
traffic problems than the storage
facility; that the facility did not have
access to San Mateo Avenue; the
appearance of the building.
Mr. Wadell, Lyon' s Restaurants, stated
that Public Storage was quite willing to
offer alternatives to please the City:
to architecturally design a building
using only the existing building; demo-
lish the building and build a Lyon's
Restaurant, presented an artistic ren-
dering of the proposed building.
