Speaking with Concern on GP-82-20, EIR-82-7
Dr. Charles Bona
1131 Mission Road
Dr. Bona called the Commissionl s attention to the policies which concerned him with
regard to a connector road. He asked why the City Council had deleted the timetable
for this connector road. Staff indicated that it was their opinion that the time-
table had been deleted since there was no currently available funding for this con-
nector and that the Council did not wish to be limited to a time table. Dr. Bona was
advised that he could present his concerns at the City Council meeting of June 27,
1984.
Commissioner Hoyer questioned Policy 44 on page 5 of the amended policies that origi-
na 11 y stated that shoppi n9 centers shoul d on 1 y be permi tted wes t of the Bayshore
Freeway. Staff advised the Commission that it was their recollection that this
po 1 icy had been deleted by the Ci ty Counci 1 and that they woul d take appropri ate
action to remove this policy when presenting the General Plan to the City Council for
adoption.
Commissioner Hoyer questioned Policy D-21 which indicated that no new banks would be
a 11 owed on Grand Avenue. Staff advi sed that the Ci ty Counci 1 felt there were too
many banks on Grand Avenue and that banks don't produce suffi ci ent revenue for the
Ci ty.
The Commi ss ion, in di scuss i ng the Counci l' s deci sian to change the des i gnati on for
the Spruce Drive-In and McLellan Nursery sites from mobile home parks asked if the
Ci ty sati sfi ed the State 1 aw requi rement for manufactured housi ng. Ci ty Attorney
Rogers advised the Commission that the City is required to designate sites in the
ci ty for mobile homes or appropri ate si tes for mobi 1 e homes to be put on si ngl e-
family sites. The State law allows for a mobile home on a single family lot, on a
foundation, trimmed down as a structure rather than a trailer. The City can designa-
te what areas these uses wi 11 be all owab 1 e. Ci ty Attorney Rogers further advi sed
that there were still some areas left for mobile homes. Senior Planner Gorny advised
the Commission that mobile homes were now allowed on the east side of E1 Camino Real
from Hickey Boulevard on the north to Westborough Boulevard on the south and Colma
Creek on the east. The consensus of the Commission was that they recommend that the
City Council consider redesignating the Spruce Drive-In as a mobile home park site.
They al so noted for the record that Ci ty Attorney Rogers assures them that the
General Plan, as amended by the City Council, has an adequate area for mobile homes
and is in compliance with the State law.
Connissioner Grimes questioned Policy 55 regarding noise mitigation measures in
industrial areas ~vhich are in close proximity to residential uses. The Commission
indicated that a decibal level mitigation measure should be included in the policies.
It was the consensus of the Commission to request that the City Council reexamine and
modify this policy as it relates to noise generation. The Commission does not wish
to restri ct uses but to mi ti gate the noi se. Staff wi 11 add a noi se standard to
Policy 56.

nature should be permitted subject to a time limitation.
Director Dell'Angela advised the Commission that the meeting of June 14, 1984 which
had been previously cancelled by the Commission should be reinstated. He stated that
the 1 egal adverti sement for the May 31, 1984 meeti ng for the Housi ng El ement of the
