Council present: Council absent: Nicolopulos, Haffey, Addiego, Drago and Teglia. None. The pledge of allegiance was recited. Police Chief Datzman stated that Red Ribbon Week was part of a national "Just Say No To Drugs" campaign coordinated by Nancy Reagan, Congressman Lantos, State Attorney General's Office and many San Mateo County organizations. He stated that the badges he would present to Council had been presented to all school children above the first grade level. He stated that the badges had been provided by Jerry Wilkinson, South San Francisco Rotary Club, South San Francisco Lions Club, South San Francisco Citizen Crime Prevention Committee and many department members. Mayor Teglia read the Proclamation aloud and presented it to the Police Chief. Mayor Teglia stated that this presen- tation was for the benefit of the City Council, and put on by the Developer of the Serramonte Park Plaza Project adja- cent to the West Winston Manor neigh- borhood in the City of Daly City. She stated that this City was challenging the environmental process, and that part of the process was for the City to attend a settlement meeting. She continued, as a result of that meeting the Developer would appear at the meeting to offer the same information to this Council as that which had been presented to the Daly City Council. 10/29/86 Page i AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PRESENTATIONS SERRAMONTE PARK PLAZA: PRESENTATIONS She stated that this was not a public hearing, that the project was not in this City's jurisdiction, and that the presen- tation was for clarification to the City Council on the project. She stated that the Council would not be entertaining questions or comments from the public, however anyone could speak on the issue under Oral Communications. Mr. Jerry Lewis, stated that he repre- sented McKinly Property Co., who was the Developer of the Project. He stated that it was an office building, planned deve- lopment, of 151,000 square feet at the southeast corner of Hickey Boulevard and Highway 280. He stated that the following would be discussed on mitigation measures being taken to resolve concerns: traffic; landscaping, as it related to the visual impacts; erosion control; slope stability and grading; parking; and other points. Mr. Steve Thompson, Senior Design Researcher, spoke of the reduction in the length and height of the building to 40% smaller than originally presented to Daly City. He proceeded to show overlays of the proposed building as originally pro- posed and the scaled down building by one floor. He described the following: the proposed landscaping; that one exterior side of the building would be composed of precast concrete and stone elements and glass that pedestrians would see; that three sides of the building would be a simple expression of horizontal banding with variegated set back elements with landscaping above; that the foundation had been identified as a potential problem area; that the land had been developed by CALTRANS a number of years ago when the on-off ramps were changed and Hickey Blvd. was restructured, wherein a good deal of the dirt that was placed there in a manner that would not meet today's specifications; that his 10/29/86 Page 2 AGENDA PRESENTATIONS: SERRAMONTE PARK PLAZA: ACTION TAKEN PRESENTATIONS: firm was required to remove a great deal of material and to penetrate through all of that material to solid bearing below so the preliminary soil report that was accepted by the EIR Consultant required an 80' long piles through that material for stability on the bedrock; that currently there was a great deal of run- off on the surface of the land, which would be prevented with the development which would channel the water underground for drainage, etc. Mr. Mike Ashley, Civil Engineering, described the following: the grading and drainage plans; the plans for 40% sloped landscaping; that the site was 2.65 acres, etc. Mr. Garry Layman, Landscape Architect, addressed the following issues of con- cern: landscaping in reference to soil stabilization and soil masses; visual concerns; the scale of the building rela- tive to the property owners and Clay Park below; the various types of trees to be planted and the projected rate of growth, etc. Mr. Ken Bankston, Traffic Engineer, described the traffic concerns: that a right turn driveway was being eliminated; that a study had been made of Hickey Blvd., that the two stop signs in the area were inadequate; the need for a separate left turn to Crown Colony; the need for traffic signals and additional lanes; removal of a right turn lane; the need for traffic signals and additional lanes; that the project would only increase traffic by 4%; that $400,000 was being spent for an arterial system for the two intersections. Discussion followed: that Daly City pro- jects had had a cumulative impact on Longford without plans to improve the street; parking problems; whether 10/29/86 Page 3 AGENDA ACT]~ON TAKEN 00014 PRESENTATIONS: SERRAMONTE PARK PLAZA RECESS: RECALL TO ORDER: AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Birkelo Requested: - Add Item No. 16a. Discussion of the Consideration of a Smoking Control Ordinance. - Request to adjourn the meeting to Thursday, 10/30/86, at 7:00 p.m., at City Hall for a joint meeting with the Historic Preservation Commission. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS PRESENTATIONS: retaining walls were planned for soil retention; how many pilings were to be used, etc. Mayor Teglia declared a recess at 8:55 p.m. Mayor Teglia recal led the meeting to order at 9:10 p.m., all Council present. AGENDA REVIEW So ordered. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Teglia stated that anyone who would like to ask questions on the presentation made on Serramonte Park Plaza should step to the dais. Mr. Douglas Butler, 133 Adrian Ave., stated that the original design presen- tation by the Developer to Daly City was for 212,000 sq. ft. and seven stories, and later presented was 151,000 sq. ft. with six stories. He stated that the Developer was trying to say that that was a major reduction after the lawsuit was filed - which was not the case. He rebutted the following: that the storm drains had been a problem for many years, which this development would not change; existing traffic problems on Longford would be further impacted by the development; that the structure had not been designed to fit the site; the problem of soil instability; that the 10/29/86 Page 4 A G E N D A A C T I O N T A K E N 0~.~ ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (Cassette No. 2) ORAL COMMUNICATIONS site was best suited for a one-to-two story restaurant; the moratorium on sewer hook-ups should have prevented the pro- ject's approval; that the storm drains had been a major problem for many years, and had caused one home to be flooded because of the run-off; concern over massive excavation and removal of trees; that the use of pool cars did not work; the error of changing the original C-1 zoning; that in good land use planning a structure should fit the site; that the community was opposed to the six story development, etc. Mayor Teglia stated that this Project was not in the Council's jurisdiction and the City could only seek avenues for legal challenge to negotiate for the neighborhood. Councilman Haffey stated that the origi- nal zoning of the site as C-1 could pro- vide the avenue of pursuit needed by the Council. Mr. Jahnes Gillingham, 146 Dundee, stated that the neighborhood had planted all of the trees on the site seventeen years ago from seedlings to keep the site from sliding down on their homes. He stated that the trees were 28' tall after seventeen years of growth due to the weather. Ms. Sharon Alvera, 204 Mansfield Dr., stated that she was representing the West Winston Manor Community Assn. and again asked for continued Council support to stop the construction of the project. She stated that trees the Developer intended to plant would not equal one- third of the height of the building at maximum growth. She questioned the size of this building as compared to Crown Colony, which was four stories. 10/29/86 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS She stated that another concern was that in exiting 280 north, there was not room for four lanes to go onto Hickey Blvd., - rather, there was barely room for two lanes. Mr. Carl Johnson, 134 Dundee Dr., stated that the building was going to be in his backyard. He questioned the maximum number of people that would be allowed in the 151,000 sq. ft. building by the Fire Department. He questioned also whether the over-flow parking would be on Hickey, Dundee, Clay or Longford. He stated that there had been land slip- page on Longford as early as 1982-83 and flooding on the 200 block of Dundee in back of 280. He stated that he had put reinforcing wire and rebar in his backyard to retain the soil. Mr. Steve Thompson stated that the off- ramps could be modified with construc- tion, in that they had to be graded and made larger because the land was there to be used. He stated that the building would not go to the property line above the park. He stated that the 151,000 sq. ft. would probably sustain about 700 people - 200 sq. ft. per person in occupancy. He stated that the problems on Longford had not been identified in the traffic study or the EIR, however land movement was something that the project would pre- vent rather than cause. Ms. Carol Borardi, President of the Homeowners Assn. reiterated the severe traffic problems this project would present. Mr. Michael Boraseri, member of the Board of Directors of West Winston Manor Home- owners Assn., stated that the community 10/29/86 Page 6 A G E N D A A C T ! 0 N T A K E N ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS unfortunately was the victim of the lack of concern of Daly City by the absence of a good neighbor policy. Mr. Michael Duncan, 235 Whitlow, stated that it was unrealistic to not have a right turn only lane on the northbound exit off of 280. He stated that the Developer should keep the building wide, but scale it down to a four story building, wherein they would have the same amount of square footage. Ms. Jo Romine, 113 Dunman Way, stated that the small street where she lived had been greatly impacted by construction over the years. She questioned if anyone in City government had taken a recent test on the bridge or the earth area below it, because of the vibrations occurring from the traffic coming down the Boulevard and over Dundee. Mayor Teglia stated that this would be turned over to the Engineering Department for a report, as the bridge was within this City's jurisdiction. Ms. Mina Welker, 145 Longford Dr., stated that if the building was appropriate for the area it would not have to be masked by trees. Ms. Mary Vadim, 203 Mansville Dr., expressed concern that there was not an access on Hickey Blvd. to this site, and no room for the equipment that was necessary to clear and grade the land. She stated that during the project there would be rain and she was concerned about what would happen to people's property if there were slides. She questioned the possible recourses against the Developer and/or Daly City in the event of dirt coming onto people's property. Mayor Teglia stated that a number of questions had been asked and noted, and 10/29/86 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM ,9-/53 CONSENT CALENDAR Approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of 9/24/86, and the Adjourned Regular Meeting of 10/2/86.

She stated that the Council would con- sider all testimony in determining the future legal position in the matter. COMMUNITY FORUM Councilman Drago requested that direction be given to Staff to study disabled per- sons parking with blue curbs, in that Daly City had adopted an Ordinance on the subject. Mayor Teglia requested that Staff provide a report on the subject at the next meeting. Councilman Drago stated that he had received numerous complaints on rat sightings throughout the City. He stated that he wanted to supply the citizenry with rat poison and use an educational process to advise people on where to put the bait. He stated that San Bruno was still supplying individuals with the rat poison. Mayor Teglia requested the City Attorney to investigate potential liability arising from children and animals mista- kenly getting the poison. CONSENT CALENDAR So ordered.

Director of Recreation & Community Development Norton stated that the $12,000 grant had not been approved, and therefore the program could not be imple- mented. He stated that the new grant money of $6,000 was for a scaled down project in early 1987. Councilman Drago stated that this was different from televising sports programs.

Director of Finance Lipton stated that Shearwater had no revenue to pay for current development or lawsuits, so this was being advanced by the City as an expense by the City paid to the Redevelopment Agency. City Manager Birkelo stated that the $4,000 monthly retainer for the attorneys had ceased upon the hire of a new City Attorney, and that now the bills were being paid upon billing of services. Carried by unanimous voice vote.

A RESOLUTION AMENDING CHAPTER I OF THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Finance Director Lipton stated that this was a suggested distribution of District Funds, however the Council could distri- bute the funds as it saw fit. Mayor Teglia invited anyone wishing to speak for or against the distribution to step to the dais - no one chose to speak, and she closed the Public Hearing. Councilman Nicolopulos questioned when the Districts would be able to pay their own way. City Manager Birkelo stated that the augmentation had been set up to correct the inequities. M/S Nicolopulos/Haffey - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 171-86 Carried by majority voice vote, Addiego voted no. Mayor Teglia opened the Public Hearing. Director of Finance Lipton stated that adoption of this Resolution would update the Master Fee Schedule by increasing the following fees: City Clerk - establishes a price to sell 1982 and 1984 Codes; Planning - appeals of Planning Commission decisions, increase the use modification fee; Fire Department - basic life support transport fees $180, advanced life support transport fees $220; Police Department - Concealed weapons permit $90, Security Guard Co. permit $105, driver permit fees (taxi) $53, parade permits $35, carnival permits $105; Engineering Division - encroachment permits $65, permit to transport earth $60, and subdivision parcel map $200. Mayor Teglia invited anyone wishing to speak for or against the fees to step to the dais - no one chose to speak, and she closed the Public Hearing. 10/29/86 Page 13 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 13. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Councilman Nicolopulos stated that in the Fire Chief's report it had said that the fees would not exceed the cost of pro- viding the service. He questioned if the fees were approaching the cost of the private carriers. Fire Chief Feuerstein stated that a call for the private sector was $315, while the City's fee was $220 for advanced life support. Councilman Nicolopulos questioned what the increased fees would realize annually. Director of Finance Lipton stated that the estimated annual increase would be approximately $44,000 for the total increases. Councilman Drago stated that increasing City fees every six months was too often. He stated that he could see an 80% increase in two years - which he felt was too excessive, and that life threatening support transport services should be at a lesser cost. He stated that he was concerned with the change in policy in transporting. He stated that now the department was talking about a basic life support system, which the system was not intended to do - the contract had been intended to transport life threatening cases. He stated that if the City started running everyone, then the City would be in the ambulance business by also transporting people with sprained ankles. He stated that the contract should read advanced life support systems only, life threatening, and forget the basic life support. He stated that the $158 had been established to improve patient care at a lower cost for everybody. 10/29/86 Page 14 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 13.

Vice Mayor Addiego questioned if the list of issued concealed weapons permits was public information. Police Chief Datzman stated that fifteen had been issued over twenty years and the Sheriff's Office had that information. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To adopt the Resolution. M/S Nicolopulos/Drago - To amend the Motion and adopt the Resolution after deletion of the paramedic fees. The amended Motion failed by majority roll call vote, Haffey, Addiego and Teglia voted no. RESOLUTION NO. 172-86 The Motion to adopt the Resolution as written was carried by majority roll call vote, Nicolopulos and Drago voted no. City Clerk Battaya read the title of the Ordinance in its entirety. Mayor Teglia stated that the City Attorney had talked of the possibility of a short Closed Session to address some issues having to do with this item. City Manager Birkelo stated that it was to discuss a letter received from Mr. Mazzanti's representatives on that 10/29/86 Page 15 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 14. Staff Report - Continued. CLOSED SESSION: RECALL TO ORDER: 14. Staff Report - Continued. (Cassette No. 3) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION question and since it was a matter of property negotiations it could be discussed briefly in Closed Session. Mayor Teglia stated that the Council would adjourn to a Closed Session for property negotiations in reference to a letter received on Item No. 14., and the time was 10:40 p.m. Mayor Teglia recalled the meeting to order at 11:06 p.m., all Council present, no action taken. Director of Planning Smith gave a brief report on those items covered on the pro- posed zoning ordinance by the City Council in the past three months: that the adult entertainment section had gone to an overlay district; that the Westborough townhomes had become an overlay district based upon direction by the Council; had responded to Mr. Penna's letter on density regulations - the general plan set the benchmark density for high density residential at 30 units per acre and a minimum site area per dwelling unit at 1,452; that the revised zoning ordinance proposed a minimum site area for 2,000 sq. ft. per dwelling area for those parcels that are less than 10,000 sq. ft. which provided a sliding scale in order to encourage larger lots; that larger lots provided more flexibi- lity in arranging the parking and pro- viding the circulation. She stated that in a 50' lot it was a bare minimum of what one could do for a full length parking space, 5' setback and a 25' two way driveway. She continued, placing a minimum of 10,000 sq. ft. for the higher number of units, for the four units, was to encourage assemblage of these lots. She stated that Mr. Penna's letter requested that a cut-off point be set at 7,000 sq. ft. which would allow four 10/29/86 Page 16 A G E N D A A C T I O N T A K E N '.~ COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 14. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION units on that size lot, whereas with the 2,000 per unit requirement there would only be three units allowed. She stated that on a 50' x 140' lot there could be three units under the old General Plan and that under current zoning there could be seven units. Mayor Teglia stated that she had a problem with down-zoning the lots to that degree. Deputy City Manager/CD&E Lewis stated that 615 Baden Ave. had five units in a row and it was difficult to maneuver autos in and out successfully because of the size of the lot. Discussion followed: that many old structures had been built before off- street parking had been required, and the ordinance did not allow incentives to tear down the structures and rebuild to maximize any potential; that people could maximize their value by combining two lots and building units. Director of Planning Smith continued the staff report: off-street parking and loading; the in-lieu parking fee had been eliminated; the parking space size had been changed; dwelling units with no off- street parking additions were allowed; adding a section that read, "no more than 50% of the required off-street parking spaces for a building or use may be supplied by parking facilities for any other building;" that additional off- street parking facilities in connection with the occupancy or use of a building in a commercial or industrial area; antenna regulations; further modifica- tions were to be made in line with Council direction, etc. Discussion followed: that the sign ordi- nance had been sent back to the Planning Commission and was not a part of the zoning ordinance; whether there would be 10/29/86 Page 17 ^ ^ ^ c o N T ^ K E N O001 B COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 14. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION potential problems in parking in the downtown area with the adoption of the ordinance; the zone for mobile and manu- factured homes; 6' maximum fences being too restrictive for innovative ideas for side and back yards when it did not involve safety; that a variance could be applied for if there was justification for a fence over the height limits; that the language should be changed to read that a permit was the only thing required for a fence higher than 6'; discouraging defective goods stores, and removing same from a C-1 zone. Consensus of Council - To remove defec- tive goods stores from a C-1 zone. Neil Turner, Esq., stated that he was representin9 Mr. Pete Mazzanti, and understood that his letter had been discussed in Closed Session with the City Attorney. He requested that the Mazzanti's desire for the status quo being preserved in regard to the zoning of his property be honored. He stated that he had understood that staff had proposed a modification to the existing zoning ordinance which would accomplish that end, but the Council was anxious to go forward with the existing proposal - which result would be to transform some of Mr. Mazzanti's property into open space through down zoning. He stated that he also understood that Council was prepared to go on record that it would not take advantage of the fact that a portion of his property was going to be down zoned in the negotiations for the purchase of his property. He stated that of the real concerns of Mr. Mazzanti, is that Council in the midst of the negotiations would down zone his property with a lower market value and take advantage of that situation by obtaining a discount on his property. He 10/29/86 Page 18 A G E N D A A C T I 0 N T A K E N 000~-~ COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 14. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION stated that his letter indicated that if the Council attempted to do something like that it would raise the issue of litigation and inverse condemnation. He requested a direct expression from the Council that it would not take advantage of the proposed down zoning and accept staff's recommendation for minor modifi- cation to the overall proposal; preserve the status quo and the prospective problem would not arise. Mayor Teglia stated that staff had not come to the Council with a recommendation. Neil Turner, Esq., stated that whatever the procedural status suggested by the City Attorney should be accepted while negotiations continued, and when the pro- perty transferred to the City either by sale or by condemnation there was no problem with the City then transforming the zoning back to the way it ultimately was. Mayor Teglia stated that she would go on record with the following: that the City had no intention of attempting to nego- tiate a lower price based on open space zoning; that the basis for evaluation currently being used, will continue to be used in negotiation. Neil Turner, Esq., stated that the nego- tiations would then continue on the basis of the existing zoning. Mayor Teglia stated that that was true, but the zoning would be changed by this ordinance, but the negotiations would proceed on the current premises. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To introduce the Ordinance by title only.

Mayor Teglia stated that that had been discussed and agreed to by the Council previously. She called for a roll call vote on waiving further reading of the ordinance. City Attorney Armento stated that she understood the Motion to be a combined Motion of waiving the reading and intro- ducing the ordinance. Carried by unanimous roll call vote.
