measure be put on the November 1987 elec-
tion for the voters to decide on district
elections; that district elections would
better serve the multi-racial society and
give the citizens more input in the
system.
Mayor Addiego requested that Staff put
discussion of a potential ballet measure
on district elections on the next regular
meeting. He suggested that then, Mr.
Waters could make a formal presentation
on the measure.
Mr. Tom Sabbadini, 140 Merced Dr., stated
that two weeks ago he had addressed the
Council on a zoning problem on his pro-
perty on Littlefield. He stated that it
had always been adequate as a permitted
use that was now restricted as a use by
the zoning ordinance. He stated that
as a result of a meeting with Vice Mayor
Drago, Staff and his father on the
following day the difficulty had been
partially solved.
He stated that it had been found that
other businesses in the community had
the same problems, and had not been given
the opportunity to make their views known
to the Council prior to the passage of
the ordinance.
He reiterated a solution previously sub-
mitted to the Council: if the property
was a well established property, built
and occupied prior to the ten year period
of the effective date of the zoning ordi-
nance, then the use should be grand-
fathered in under the previous zoning.
He stated that he would be happy to
serve on a committee to help other
businesses also affected by the zoning
ordinance.
Councilwoman Teglia stated that from
reading the report there was a use pro-
posed for the property and that use was
unacceptable; and it appeared that the

grandfathering did take affect because it
was the same use, an on-going use, while
a non-conforming use; and that as long as
the business did not close down for six
months, then use could continue into the
future. (A copy of the memo from the
Planning Director to the City Council,
dated 2/4/87, is attached and a permanent
part of the record of this meeting.)
Vice Mayor Drago stated that he was happy
to have helped Mr. Sabbadini, who had had
an urgent request, but wondered how many
other people were affected by the zoning
ordinance. He suggested that the
Planning Commission should investigate
the changed zones for heavy industrial
use zoning.
Mayor Addiego suggested Mr. Sabbadini
address the Planning Commission on
Staff being directed to investigate the
areas of heavy industrial zones.

Honorable City Council
USE OF PROPERTY AT 480 LITTLEFIELD AV-_~NUE, IN THE P-I ZONE
Planning Director
At the City Council meeting of January 28 Mr. Tom Sabbadini
addressed the Council on the difficulty experienced by his father
in leasing the property at the above address. Specifically he ....
noted that his father, Mr. Gene Sabbadini, wanted to lease this
property to Steven~s Bay Area Diesel Service but had been told by
the Planning Division that this use is not allowed in the P-I
Planned Industrial zone. Acting MaYor Drago requested that staff
meet with the Sabbadinis and report back to Council.
Mr. Gene Sabbadini had been in the Planning office twice in early
January to inquire about staff's informing-the owner of the
Diesel Service that his use could not occupy the subject
property. It was staff's understanding from both the Diesel
Service owners and the property owner that the property had been
vacant since April 1986; in addition that would constitute a
different use from the well drilling company identified as the
last occupant. Under the new zoning ordinance the use would
therefore have to be in conformance with the provisions of the
P-I Planned Industrial zone; truck repair is not allowed in P-I.
At the meeting with Messrs. Gene and Tom Sabbadini on January 29
new information and clarification of both the uses and the dates
of occupancy were provided. The building not only is currently
occupied but was occupied until November, 1986 by R.A.C.
Construction; RAC~s business was repair of trucks and related
construction equipment. Under the section of the ordinance
dealing with nonconforming uses, the Diesel Service can occupy
the premises at 480 Littlefield as a continuation of the truck
repair use.

CITY ATTORNEY
City Clerk Battaya read the title of the
ordinance in its entirety.
Mr. Pfaff, President of the Chamber of
Commerce, stated that the Executive Board
had not taken a position on the smoking
ordinance, and requested the item be con-
tinued to allow input from the members
unaware of the proposed ordinance.
Councilman Halley stated that he could
understand Mr. Pfaff's concern, howeve~
it was usually the business community
that often stated that the government did
not move quickly enough. He stated that
the Council had discussed this issue
numerous times, many of which had been
televised, and did not feel that the item
should be continued.
M/S Haffey/Drago - To waive full reading
of the Ordinance.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
M/S Haffey/Drago - To adopt the Ordinance.
Mr. Pfaff stated that the Chamber had a
monthly newspaper to reach each of the

ordinance had been included and mailed
recently to the membership. He stated
that many businessmen in the Chamber did
not live in South San Francisco and did
not receive the Enterprise Journal or the
Progress to be apprised of Council
actions.
Discussion followed: that the City had
subsidized the Chamber; that the Chamber
had had ample opportunity to notify the
membership on the smoking ordinance; that

ful to the Chamber, etc.

Mr. Robert Hahn, Executive Director of
the San Mateo County Medical Society,
stated that most all of the cities in the
Bay Area Counties had passed the model
ordinance without any costs to the busi-
ness community.
Mr. S. N. Benson stated that he was
disappointed that the Council was con-
tinuing the item. He stated that the
Chamber was not doing its job, and that
there had not been opposition from the
Chamber members at any of the meetings.
Mr. Ralph Lentz stated that he had
brought this issue before the Council at
the 10/29/86 meeting, and felt the
Chamber had had plenty of time to notify
its members.
Ms. Marilyn Isaacs stated that she was
very disappointed in the delay, and felt
that the Council should vote on the ordi-
nance and let the Chamber members come
forward at a later meeting if there was
opposition.

Ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 1010-87
Carried by unanimous roll call vote.

ITEMS FROM STAFF
Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Yee
stated that the contractor would be ready
for construction on March 5th at the
intersection of North Canal Street, and
continuing north along Magnolia Avenue to
reach Baden Avenue toward the end of
March.
He stated that it had been originally
intended that the contractor would exca-
vate, lay pipe, and backfill as usual,
but not replace the asphalt paving. He
stated that San Francisco Water was to
pay the City the value of the paving in
cash, which would be applied toward the
proposed Baden Avenue Reconstruction pro-
ject, instead the contractor will treat
Baden the same as the other streets,
repaving the trench and applying the
slurry seal curb to curb.
He stated that the work would proceed up
Maple, crossing under Grand Avenue in
late April or early May and continue
along Lux, Cypress, Armour, and Airport
Boulevard and finish up at the Brisbane
City limit in August, etc.
Discussion followed: concern that Baden
Avenue would not be refurbished by the
Water Company during the project; that
Council would be asked to meet on the
third Wednesday of March to discuss the
Capital Improvement Project, and set
guidelines for the operating budget and
the repair of streets; setting priorities
on repair of streets, etc.
