Penna Roberta Cerri Teglia AGENDA CALL TO ORDER: (Cassette No. 1) ROLL CALL: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AGENDA REVIEW Councilmember Teglia Requested: - Add School Liaison Subcommittee report. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS MINUTES City Council Municipal Services Building Community Room March 14, 1990 ACTION TAKEN 7:30 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Drago presiding. Council present: Nicolopulos, Penna, Teglia, and Drago. Council absent: Haffey. The pledge was recited. AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Armas stated that there were no changes to the Agenda. So ordered. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Jan Pont, 111 Belmont Ave., stated that she had addressed the Council last month on recycling and had additional information to pass on and get a few more answers: noticed that Canal St. had been closed for recycling; concerned about people who could no longer recycle paper and glass for the benefit of aiding charities; there was no longer a place to dump bulk glass; Blue Line only accepted California redemption glass; had veri- fied that the Scavenger Co. paid some of the large restaurants for bulk glass; why couldn't people recycling for charity also be paid for the bulk glass; that BFI Co. in San Mateo County does pay for bulk glass at 41/2¢ a pound sorted by color, and 51/2¢ for Ca. redemption; for large quan- tities the Co. paid $50-60 per ton; San Mateo County recycled plastic soda pop, milk, water, and juice bottles; the price of recycled aluminum was 73¢ @ pound or two aluminum cans for 5¢; she encouraged the Council to have the Scavenger Co. effect the same recycling plan as the County; that the money saved from a com- 3/14/90 Page I AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS munity on disposal dumps could almost pay for free services; there had not been mention of the recycling of computer paper; the City should recycle and donate the proceeds to charity; reopening Canal St. for recycling. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that there was a recent report responding to another resident's concern about the closure of the recycling site, and it had outlined various locations where the material could be taken. Ms. Pont stated that most places were only for Ca. redemption staff and Blue Line would take the bulk oil. She again questioned why the general public could not be paid for recycling as the restaurants were paid. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that the clo- sure was because there was a feeling of duplication of service, that there were other businesses handling this recycl i ng. Councilmember Teglia stated that she had talked to a restauranteur, and then Jan, and had only then learned that the restaurants were being paid for glass and that bins were provided. She had thought that this recycling program would not get in the way of fund raising activities by local organizations. She stated that perhaps the negotiations with the Scavengers on the franchise could include bins being made available to the public as a service in line with Ms. Pont's request. Mayor Pro Tem Drago requested that the item be placed on the next agenda for additional information. City Manager Armas stated that he had made notes of the comments made. 3/14/90 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN __ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Pont stated that San Mateo had five companies that bought the bulk glass, so why not make it accessible to the general public. Councilmember Penna recalled reading in a staff report that paper had no value at that time, and then he had been told by people involved in charities that this was not true because it could be sold to other sources. He stated that someone should have a list of companies that would pay for recyclable products. Ms. Pont stated that the Scavenger Co. was shipping bulk paper to Asia and not going into landfill areas. Ms. Carol Dell'Angela, S.S.F. Sister City Committee, invited the Council and the public to two fund raisers: Tuesday, 3/20/90, 7:30 p.m. for a multi-cultural dessert tasting at the Magnolia Center with entertainment by Multi-Ethnic Performers; the Sister City Youth Group would be sponsoring a spaghetti dinner on Sunday, 3/25/90 between 5:00-7:30 p.m. at the S.S.F. High School Cafeteria. She stated that the proceeds would be used to send between two and four eleventh grade students from S.S.F. Unified School District to Atotonilco, Mexico as part of the student exchange. Mr. Mike Callan, 82 Isabella, Atherton, gave the following progress report on Carter Park II: all plans were submitted to the City on 2/14/90; Carol had called him on needed changes - which had been accomplished in the same week for the Planning Dept. on adoption of the ease- ment and one from the Engineering Dept. questioning the title report on the footline and easement itself; that the lot line was abandoned on the suggestion of the City Engineer because he could not approve it because it would be adding another lot. 3/14/90 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS He stated that the problem was that he was running up against a June deadline for the final map, and he knew that there were problems in the Bldg. Dept. because there was more work than Mr. Baird was able to do; and up to last week he was still unable to pick up the plans and go through them. He stated that he had a loan on record and needed to get started immediately, because he didn't want to get into a point to have to ask for addi- tional time because of things that were his fault and others that were the City's. He stated that the deadline was to put the map on record, and Mr. Baird was the only one qualified to do the plans which would take 12 hours to check out. He stated that he did not mind funding the money to put in more help to handle the counter so Mr. Baird could do the work because there were other projects in front of his project also waiting. He stated that there was $10,000,000 of work just sitting there to do and all set to go, and he was hoping he could get it out soon. City Manager Armas stated that he had prepared a report that would be in the Council packet on Friday that would outline the chronology of the various documents submitted by Mr. Callan, and his efforts to try to respond to them. He stated that when Mr. Callan mentioned mutual responsibility -- when you review the information you will note that there are a number of instances in which we are delayed for a lot of reasons. He continued, part of which were that Mr. Callan's consultants needed a number of weeks to submit the proper plans and it took us time to review them. He stated that it took his consultants time to pre- pare them, which was outlined in the report. 3/14/90 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilmember Nicolopulos stated that he was concerned with the June deadline, and questioned if the City was prepared to work with Mr. Callan to try to accom- modate his wishes in getting the work out on time. City Manager Armas stated that he had always been interested in wanting to work with Mr. Callan, and had talked to Mr. Baird this evening, who would be doing follow-up work on those plans both tomorrow and Friday. He stated that part of the problem was that some of the sub- mittals from Mr. Callan's consultants had been incomplete, and absent full infor- mation it was impossible for our staff to make a full assessment of what was before it. Mr. Callan stated that he had let the Project Manager go and was doing it per- sonally, which worked out better because he was working personally with staff to make sure things were done properly. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that he knew personally that routinely for years plans were sent out to plan checkers. City Manager Armas stated that the City did both - some of it will be done by the staff, and depending on the complexity, the work would go out to external con- sultants. He stated that the Council had approved a budget amendment a few weeks ago to increase the appropriation to the Building Div. to account for that, because of the surprising amount of acti- vity on the peninsula, it had resulted in the additional monies the Council had approved to do some outside work. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that he remem- bered that the Council had approved over $10,000 two weeks ago, and the monies were paid by the developers through fees for plan checking, and he could not see a hang-up because the City was short of help to do the work. 3/14/90 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM CONSENT CALENDAR Approval of the Minutes of the Adjourned Regular Meeting of 2/21/90, Adjourned Regular Meeting of 2/28/90, and the Regular Meeting of 2/28/90. 2. Motion to confirm expense claims 3/14/90. 3. Motion to waive fees for the use o~ the Westborough Park Building on ~ ORAL COMMUNICATIONS City Manager Armas agreed entirely and stated, given that the expense is offset by revenue from the applicants, the City needed to .look at a way of being as responsive as the City could be. He stated that one of the things that will be examined as part of the budget is whether to add personnel to do work at the counter that is less complicated. COMMUNITY FORUM Councilmember Nicolopulos announced that the 169th Greek Independence Day festivi- ties would be held at the Municipal Services Building on Sunday, 3/18/90, at 1:30 p.m. Councilmember Teglia stated that a domestic rabbit had been found at the City Hall Annex today, and if anyone was missing such a pet - they should contact the City Manager's Office because it was currently in residence in her bathroom. Mayor Pro Tem Drago commended the Grand Avenue proprietors of Positively Flowers and the Bicycle Repair Shop for setting an example for other merchants by sweeping in front of their establish- ments. Councilmember Penna stated that he swept in front of his own business and noted that Poletti Florist did the same. CONSENT CALENDAR Approved. Confirmed in the amount of $1,004.083.40.

A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATION PLAN TO CREATE THE POSITION OF CONFERENCE CENTER DIRECTOR CONSENT CALENDAR M/S Teglia/Nicolopulos - to approve the Consent Calendar. Carried by unanimous voice vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS City Manager Armas stated that the item contained the job specifications and com- pensation for the newly created position of Executive Director for the S.S.F. Conference Center as a result of the suc- cessful passage of Measure C last November. He stated that the position would be equivalent to a department head and would administratively report to the City Manager, but would work closely with the Conference Center Board the Council appointed. He stated that this position in a number of other communities that operate con- ference centers had an Executive Director, and a separate position respon- sible for marketing and securing rentals for the facility. He stated that as an economy measure, this proposal had the new Director assume both respon- sibilities, etc. Councilmember Teglia stated that this was why a range was established. She stated that normally a person came in at the lower end and then dependent upon perfor- mance and how satisfactory they are - they proceed through the various steps. City Manager Armas stated that the posi- tion would be included on the executive management compensation, which was a five step plan, and he did look to start people at the entry level and as they were successful in meeting the performance expectations - will have an opportunity to advance. Discussion followed: why it was con- sidered two positions in one; make cer- tain that it was a streamline operation 3/14/90 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS with someone closely and was very atten- tive to the marketing aspect, and deal with the facility on a day to day basis, etc. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that he did not necessarily subscribe to the theory that more money brings quality work, and would rather see motive and incentives be built in. He stated that he felt the goal of the surtax was to raise the occu- pancy level of the hotel industry in our City. He stated that when he saw salaries ranging from $75,000 - $90,000 with $40,000 of benefits - he wondered, where is the incentive; why would a per- son come in and want to make a success out of this. He had felt that the person should be hired as an independent contractor.-He saw benefits here that he couldn't believe that private industry paid, and could not see him being a City employee. He stated that he saw many problems down the line if his work is poor, because it was a lot more difficult to terminate someone with civil service status with the Manager being the only one with the authority to decide if the person meets the criteria. He felt that a starting salary of $75,000 with $20,000 in benefits, rather than $40,000 was proper. He stated that as the occupancy level grew within the hotel industry, his salary would go along with it percentage-wise, and eventually with a 20% increase would be making $90,000 a year which apparently is the top step. He said he was going to ask the Council that they only give authority to the City Manager to hire at the $75,000 level, and if he finds someone he thinks is worth $80,000 or $85,000, then he has to come to the Council to get permission for a number of levels of increase and the responsibility lies with the Council on 3/14/90 Page 9 ACTION TAKEN AGENDA __ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS the salary. Councilmember Penna stated that he agreed with the Mayor Pro Tem. Councilmember Teglia stated that was not an unreasonable request. Councilmember Nicolopulos stated that because the City Manager had the authority to hire and fire, it was like civil service and he shared Mayor Pro Tem Drago's concern. He stated that the Conference Center Board was involved in the hotel business based on performance and did not have to go through the civil service red tape to terminate someone. Councilmember Teglia related: the Council is the responsible Body for that center; that it is a municipal respon- sibility; that the Board was advisory to the Council; that the Executive Director would become an employee of the City; that the benefit package was the same as the executive management group; and the benefits were comparable to other communities. Councilmember Nicolopulos questioned if there was a comparative analysis of a community with one person doing both jobs. Discussion followed: the economic approach in combining the two positions; that all of the incurred expenses for the position would be paid from T.O.T. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that whatever the Council did may incur an expense on the revenue some day, and if we let the operating costs escalate to a point - they will be digging into the projected revenue to the City. Councilmember Teglia stated that the revenues would be generated by the tenants that will be renting the faci- 3/14/90 Page 10 AGENDA ACT]' ON TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS lity, and from the $2.50 T.O.T. override. Councilmember Penna stated that all of the revenue projections for the Measure showed that as long as we maintained at least a 62% occupancy rate in our hotels we would be alright in regards to all projected expenditures going into this fund. He stated that at the present time it was at a 69% occupancy factor, and had never been below 67% in the City's history. He stated that the only item that could really go wrong as a doomsday thing, was if there was an overall depression in the area where businesses left and there were major hotels with rooms going vacant that exceeded a 50% vacancy factor. Discussion followed: incentives for the person to go out and work; that the City Manager was the Council's employee; Mayor Pro Tem Drago had voted against the City Manager being given the authority to hire and fire department heads two years ago; Councilmember Nicolopulos had also voted against the authority being given to the City Manager; that the Mayor Pro Tem felt the salary was excessive and greater than the communities shown. M/S Teglia/Nicolopulos - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 24-90 Councilmember Penna requested a clarifi- cation - that the compensation begin at the low end of the scale, which is $6,163. Councilmember Teglia agreed and if there was something the Manger felt needed to be brought back to Council - then he will bring it back to Council. Mayor Pro Tem Drago agreed. Carried by unanimous voice vote. 3/14/90 Page 11 LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS 10. Motion to waive reading and intro- duce an ordinance pertaining to loud or unruly gatherings. AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 10.20 TO TITLE 10 OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO LOUD OR UNRULY GATHERINGS PUBLIC HEARINGS ~o~q 11. Public Hearing - Consideration of proposed Zoning Amendment ZA-89-50 to add automotive sales/rentals to Section 20.26.030 (c) of the LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS City Clerk Battaya read the title of the ordinance in its entirety. Police Sgt. Petrocchi cited the number of times the police had responded on a one, two, and three time basis and the serious drain on manpower available to patrol the streets. He stated that other cities in the County had either enacted an ordinance or were in the process of enacting them within the last twelve months. He explained in detail: the information brochure given out on a first response; the brochure given out on the second response with the service fee; that the ordinance stated that officers have the right to disperse the unruly gathering on the second response; it addressed other kinds of unruly gatherings in halls and hotels; and the ordinance was an excellent tool for the police. Discussion followed: that the second response should be gauged, and judgment used; the definition of loud and unruly was in the Penal Code; this ordinance did not address the noise element, but that would be coming to Council in a few months; the ordinance was focused on hosted social gatherings or rallys; that three or more people was a legal term; special assignment referred to in the ordinance was only to charge the cost incurred rather than normal police ser- vices; the long process of appeals. M/S Nicolopulos/Teglia - To waive reading and introduce the ordinance. Carried by unanimous voice vote. PUBLIC HEARINGS Mayor Pro Tem Drago reopened the Public Hearing. Director of Planning Smith read the staff 3/14/90 Page 12 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 11. Public Hearing - Continued. Municipal Code for uses permitted in the D-C Zone District subject to obtaining a Use Permit - - David Gonzales - the Public Hearing was opened and continued off- calendar on 8/9/89. Motion to deny ZA-89-50 based on the findings in the staff report. (Cassette No. 2) PUBLIC HEARINGS report citing the two year background, and rational for the recommendation for denial (a copy of the staff report is on permanent file in the Clerk's Office). She stated that at the last meeting the question had been posed as to Planning Commission minutes not being attached to the staff report, and she had attached a verbatim set of minutes to tonight's staff report. Mr. Lou Dell'Angela stated that So. City Ford was his client and proceeded to pass out a copy of the Zoning Ordinance that showed the uses permitted in the Downtown District. He stated what his client was proposing to include as a permitted use a auto sales and rentals in the Downtown Commercial District. He also made men- tion of photos of So. City Ford proper- ties, and City public parking lots relative to landscaping. He stated that this was a sample issue that had become very controversial, very personal, and very monumental. He stated that a consultant had been hired by the City before 1986 to draft a brand new zoning ordinance, and it had been adopted in 1986 with many property owners not knowing what it was all about. He stated that when So. City Ford wanted to expand they found that they had been put in a non-conforming use category with restrictions on expansion. He stated that the prior zoning for that area was C-2, which permitted car dealerships, but in 1986 either by omission, inadvertently or on purpose that was changed and that was why they were here today to try to correct a very simple omission that was made in 1986 and include sales as a use permit in the District as it was for 72 years prior to that time. He stated that the Planning Director had told the Council that they had provided a transcript of the Planning Commission 3/14/90 Page 13 AGENDA ACT]' 0 N TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 11. Public Hearing - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS hearing of 5/11/89 -- that transcript was not complete, that hearing lasted 55 minutes and the transcript she provided only covered 25 minutes of that total which leaves a gap that the Council could question. He spoke of omissions in the staff report, such as General Plan Policies 43 and 54. He expressed concern over the ten month delay, and expectations of sitting down with staff, City Manager, and representatives of the Council to talk about the zoning issues involved, the parking issues, the expansion goals for this area, address the problems and reach some sort of consensus -- that meeting had never taken place, there was only a meeting with the City Manager. He stated that the staff report depicted Mr. Gonzales as a villain, and he pro- ceeded to further refute the staff report: that this zoning amendment would open the door to a proliferation of car dealerships, when land was not available for new businesses; ignores other business activities in the area that are more intense than So. City Ford's; requirements for 10% landscaping when no other business in the area has landscaping - including City parking lots; there was no evidence to support staff findings; staff could justify a negative declaration for the Price Club, yet not for So. City Ford which did not affect the environment. He felt that there was not justification to deny the zoning amendment, and the Council should allow So. City Ford to move forward. Councilmember Nicolopulos stated that it had been alleged that Mr. Dell'Angela's client failed to do some things the City required. Mr. Dell'Angela stated that his client had 3/14/90 Page 14 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN __PUBLIC HEARINGS 11. Public Hearing - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS bought a gas station, cleaned it up and put cars there without being aware at that time that he had to get a use per- mit. He stated that his client had been notified by the Code Enforcement Officer to come in for a use permit, and he had. He stated that when he was notified he talked to the Planning Director, and she had told him to just bring in a use per- mit application and everything would be fine and she would process it through. He stated that his client went through the trouble, cost and expense of a use permit, and two weeks later she changed her mind and said, I am sorry that isn't going to work, you are going to have to get a zone change and a general plan. He stated there had been episodes over a sign and other things where mistakes had been made which his client had tried to rectify. Mayor Pro Tern Drago closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: definition and potential impacts of commercial parking; shape and appearance of City parking lots; enhancement of City entrances; as uses change and are reviewed, the City can require upgrading; the So. City Ford property in question was acquired sub- sequent to adoption of the ordinance; needs a use permit for the new lot So. City Ford put in; So. City Ford wanted to get a use permit for the property; defi- nition of "automotive and equipment": auto- motive dealership would not be allowed in a D-C District; So. City Ford had four legally non-conforming lots; a non- conforming use can be rebuilt subject to the fact that it occupies no larger an area subject to a use permit granted by the Planning Commission, etc. Councilmember Penna stated that this had been going on for so long that there were a lot of emotions involved, a lot of misunderstandings and probably a lot of 3/14/90 Page 15 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ~UBLIC HEARINGS .1. Public Hearing - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS bad ways of doing business which had pro- bably occurred on both sides. He stated that on the government end of it - Mr. Dell'Angela had asked that Commissioners put off the report until another time, the Planning Director suggested this and agreed with it; but it was the Commission's decision to proceed even though his client wasn't present, and he was not prepared to make the presen- tation. He stated that the Commission went on with it and denied the request. He stated that this was a precedent setting situation because normally when you come in front of any government body and a person asks for a delay it is granted, unless there is some extra ordi- nary circumstances. He stated that as a child growing up here there were four or five dealerships on Grand and Linden Avenues, and many dif- ferent types of activities that took place. He stated that this business has benefitted the City as well as from the sale of properties. He stated that the P-C District comes all the way from Randolph along Airport Blvd., all the way to Oliver's Restaurant parking lot and stops right in the middle of a block -- instead of bringing it all the way over to Miller Ave. at the time. He con- tinued, if this had been brought over to Miller then this particular property would have been within a P-C District and he would have then been able to apply for a use permit which is what staff is now requesting him to do. He questioned why this was being resisted. Mr. Dell'Angela stated that if staff made a proposal to include the entire dealership - that would make more sense; the second is that once we go into a P-C Zone the 10% landscape requirement kicks in. He stated that two issues dealt with the legitimacy of the businesses, and conforming/non-conforming use situations; and the other is the landscaping issue. 3/14/90 Page 16 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 11. Public Hearings - Continued. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL lla. School Liaison Subcommittee Report. PUBLIC HEARINGS He questioned if the City would entertain initiating themselves a rezoning that would include not the corner, but the dealership piece with instructions to staff that they use a certain degree of common sense and moderation in terms of landscaping. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that he could support dealing with the one lot and the removal of the gas station and 8% or so of landscaping, but he could not support dealing with all the properties. Councilman Nicoopulos wanted to see Mr. Gonzales conform to the City require- ments, and he would do everything he could for consistency from the City in landscaping requirements. M/S Penna/Teglia - To deny ZA-89-50 based on the findings, and advised applicant to apply for a rezoning from D-C-L to P-C on affected properties on Airport Blvd. north of Miller Avenue. Carried by majority voice vote, Councilmember Nicolopulos voted no. Councilmember Penna stated that he was not happy with the way the D-C zone was layed out as to what is permitted and what is permitted subject to a use permit. Councilmember Teglia suggested the Councilmember discuss it with staff. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL Councilmember Teglia related that the Liaison meeting this week had looked at the School District's three to five year plan to surplus property, and she wanted P&R staff to look at the properties with the School District staff for inclusion in the Master Plan.

She stated that the bottom line was that gangism was not acceptable in this community, and expected full enforcement of existing laws. Consensus of Council - To give discretion to the Subcommittee to deal with the matter of gangs. Mayor Pro Tem Drago stated that now was the time for the City to enact a regu- lating ordinance on political signs dealing with the size, location and limiting the time that signs were allowed to be displayed. He directed that an ordinance be prepared, for the next meeting to address perhaps a 30 day limit, and a one week period to remove the signs after an election. GOOD AND WELFARE No one chose to speak.
